It is the flesh of God, in the earth.
The purpose of God is to reveal, Jesus. In Eph. 1:4 He has chosen us
from the foundation of the world, so that we could BE blamless and holy.
It is what we are that counts first. NOT what we do.
We must become somthing before we can DO something. What we are
will detertimine what we DO.
We are to BE a reflection of what Jesus IS. That is why we are called
christian.
Little christs. According to Bro.J.T.Pugh, " The primary purpose of
the church
is to reflect the character of Jesus." It is not the only purpose, but
the FIRST
purpose.
When Moses asked God to show him His glory, He caused His goodness
to pass by and Moses saw the hinder parts of God and seeing this God
revealed the past and how it was good.
In the revelation of recreation after each day God said it is good. If
you look back at the past and observe the way God brought things to pass
in your life,
you will find the goodness of God.
