聖經是我們獨一無二的標準 - 生命.. 結晶.. 啓示

1.

Hearing

The starting point of faith, generating faith through hearing God's word

Without hearing the word, there can be no faith. Faith comes from hearing

Hearing the gospel about God, Christ, the Spirit, the cross, redemption, salvation, forgiveness, and eternal life

Preaching living, rich messages that stir people and fill them with appreciation

Romans 10:17 "So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ."

John 5:24 "Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life."

2. Appreciating

Developing precious and appreciative feelings toward the gospel word heard

After hearing the gospel word, a sense of appreciation naturally arises in the hearers

Appreciating the fact that the Triune God has been processed to become the all-inclusive life-giving Spirit

Each time we properly hear something, such hearing awakens more appreciation for the Lord

Psalm 34:8 "Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good!"

1 Peter 2:3 "If indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good."

Romans 10:13 "For everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved."

Psalm 116:4 "Then I called on the name of the Lord."

Acts 22:16 "Calling on his name."

3.

Calling

Natural crying out and prayer arising from appreciating the Lord Jesus

All who appreciate the Lord Jesus will spontaneously call upon the Lord's name

Calling out "Oh, Lord Jesus!" or "Lord Jesus is so good!"

No need to persuade people to pray; they will naturally call upon the Lord's name

4.

Receiving

Actively welcoming and taking the Lord Jesus into one's heart

After appreciating and calling upon the Lord Jesus, one naturally receives Him

Opening the heart to receive the Lord Jesus as Savior

Through a decision of the will to receive Christ into one's life

John 1:12 "But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God."

5.

Taking

Actually obtaining and possessing the Lord Jesus who has been received

After receiving, one must truly take in order to fully obtain

Not only receiving salvation but actually obtaining God's life and nature

Through faith actually obtaining all the grace God has given

John 1:16 "From his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace."

Galatians 3:14 "So that we might receive the promised Spirit through faith."

6.

Joining

Being united with the Lord Jesus as one, establishing a life union

After receiving and taking the Lord Jesus, one joins with Him

Like the union of branches with the vine, becoming one life

Maintaining an intimate union with the Lord in daily life

John 15:4-5 "Abide in me, and I in you...I am the vine; you are the branches."

1 Corinthians 6:17 "But he who is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him."

7.

Partaking

Participating in and sharing the life, nature, and all riches of the Lord Jesus

After joining with the Lord, one partakes of all that He is

Partaking of the divine nature, Christ's sufferings and glory

Actually sharing Christ's life and riches in experience

2 Peter 1:4 "That you may become partakers of the divine nature."

Philippians 3:10 "That I may know him and the fellowship of his sufferings."

8.

Enjoying

Finding satisfaction, joy, and rest in the relationship with the Lord

After partaking of the Lord, one can enjoy all these riches

Enjoying God's grace, peace, joy, and eternal life

Experiencing and enjoying the Triune God as our everything in daily life

Psalm 36:8 "They feast on the abundance of your house, and you give them drink from the river of your delights."

John 10:10 "I came that they may have life and have it abundantly."
