CONTD. FORM PART XIV

The way to the church/God is Christ, always Christ, more of Christ, everything is Christ,Christ is grace, Christ is God, Christ is the Comforter and Spirit. Christ is our sustenance;Christ is our life, nothing else but Christ,and since all things were created by Him it will end up or consummate also into Christ/the New Jerusalem. It seems to me therefore to know and have a personal relationship with Christ is and it should be the ultimate goal of the believer.

Continuing from where we ended with the previous sharing, I said that Revelation i.e.( Rev.22:14) and sharing also from ( Gen.2:8-9);it showed that after man was created, man was put before the tree of life. Indicating that he (man) was privileged to partake of the tree of life.A , I supposed a short way, God wanted man to achieve what it have taking us over six thousand years but still not achieved what He promised in Himself God,yet man failed

Therefore,as a result or after the fall of man, the way to the tree of life was closed to man by God's glory, holiness, and righteousness also Gen.3:24.It is only through Christ's redemption, which fulfilled all the requirements of God's glory, holiness, and righteousness, the way to the tree of life was opened again to believers (Heb.10:19-20) as already stated above.

Hence, those who washed their robes in the redeeming blood of Christ have the right to enjoy the tree of life as their eternal portion in the holy city, the Paradise of God, in eternity Rev 2:7. It is also true that, it is this which made it possible for us to enter the gates into the city, the New Jerusalem, as a realm of God's eternal blessing. We were, regenerated through the death and overcoming resurrection and life imparting Christ.

V. 15 of the same book says; outside the lake means outside of the Holy City, where the lake of fire, which holds all sinners who have perished, will be located (Rev. 21:8).Why is this very necessary; this is to show believers that, after being born again requires further cooperation, commitment, denying of oneself and many more as we surrender totally to GOD for His work in us. It should at the same time, adorn on leading members to have the same mind as Solomon had when asked by God to ask anything of his choice. We as infants in our spiritual journey need both human and God's tutoring. I will come back to this many times as I make a persuasion for all to follow and cooperate with God)

Now let me take you all back to continue from Ezekiel 1:28's expansion. V.28: As I have explained; So therefore Christ came, died on the cross to satisfy the requirements of God's righteousness, holiness, and glory, and was resurrected, and He is now our righteousness, holiness, and glory (1 Cor.1:30). Because we, the believers are now in Christ, in the sight of God we bear the appearance of Christ as righteousness, holiness, and glory. This therefore becomes the appearance of the rainbow as a testimony of God's faithfulness in sparing us and saving us, the fallen ones, from His judgement on sinners. In the new Jerusalem, a city whose foundations have the appearance of a rainbow as I have explained above (Rev. 21:19-20).

We, the aggregate of the saved ones, will be a rainbow reflecting the brightness of God's righteousness, holiness, and glory and testifying forever that our God is righteous and faithful. As the study have portrayed in this chapter, the Christian life and the church life will consummate in such a rainbow. At that point God's eternal plan will have been accomplished. And since this is ongoing our testimony and creation of a conducive environment where every Christian can flourish unhindered by human distraction and grow both in the church life and spiritual life, should be our concern.

SUMMARY OF THE COMPLETE STUDY OF EZEKIEL.

So far our introduction dealt with the scenario leading to the call of Ezekiel and God showing him His plan and purpose as a vision. When one followed the history of the time it bears much similarities to the current times (1:1-3).

In chapter 1:4-28 we have extensively dealt with the core content of the vision, that is “The appearance of the glory of Jehovah for His manifestation, His move, and administration.” The vision expanded on the plan of God which we have said the entire Bible do much justice to. However Ezekiel, Genesis, Psalms, and the new testament, Gospels, Paul letters to the Churches especially Ephesians, Revelations to John, Peter's persuasions, and many more revealed the form and replica of the Church also the Body of Christ. If a modern day leading members understands the vision as we tried to portray will help them tremendously in becoming obedient and God dependant servants of God.

Time and space will not let us delve much deeper as we would have liked, however at least we may,have aroused the interest in the subject to many.

As time and the tidal wave of life deals with us, it is hoped, we shall redeem the time, as His breathe passes dairy, or moments by moment through our nostril"s. Till then ,shall we say glory be to our God who forever reigns. who is our life anchor and ABBA FATHER" for the next sharing..
