Understanding the Mystery of the Godhead Through Doctrine (LSC)
(John 3:3). The essence of being born again is to give our souls a leverage to see the Kingdom of God. The kingdom of God is in three strata — Righteousness (the Outer Court), Peace (the Holy Place) and Joy (the Most Holy Place) (Rom. 14:17). Joy represents everlasting life, while righteousness and peace (or life and peace) constitute Christ. A man cannot come into the understanding of these without the New Birth.

Giving Attention to Our Building in God (LSC)
What the new testament apostles and prophets did, using the Old Testament Scripts to preach Christ and lay Him as foundation, is clearly a work of wisdom (1 Cor. 3:10). The materials they (including Paul) were handling were not like those Aaron handled ‒ blood, the life of bulls and goats ‒ but materials that had wisdom to divide the things contained in the blood of Jesus. The blood of Jesus is the life of Jesus. It contains the ordinance of life and peace, which is the covenant of Christ; it also contains the everlasting covenant and the eternal covenant. Hence, it can only be divided by wisdom. When revelation comes to us, it comes through wisdom and understanding (Prov. 4:7). Wisdom can be likened to gold and understanding likened to silver (Prov. 16:15-16).

Becoming a Man of God’s Will (LSC)
The will of a man makes him selfish and limits him. Until a man finds God’s will, such a man cannot really find fulfilment. Every saint should be an interpreter of the will of God. Jesus lived for nothing but to please God, and until a man comes to this status quo, he has not really started what God wants a man to do.

The Right Attitude toward Maranatha (SOS)
We need to be sober and be vigilant because sobriety is needed to tell when the devil is around. We need soberness to know when either the Lord or the adversary is coming. The adversary wants to eat up the life we have in our souls. Soberness will tell us what not to watch or read so as to keep the atmosphere over us.
