A Library Of Resources For Spiritual Growth
In this present age Christ is not here on this earth physically: He is among us only in and by His Holy Spirit. Christ Jesus cannot therefore be known by us in any other way than spiritually. Furthermore, God is not seeking here and now to set up something on this earth as attached to it. He is detaching people from the world and the nations and joining them to Himself in an entirely spiritual way. Their birth is spiritual: John 6:33. Their knowledge of God and His things is spiritual: 1 Corinthians 2:9-16. Their consummation is spiritual: 1 Corinthians 15:33-38. Everything is now a matter of spiritual measure and value.
So the service of God in this age is essentially spiritual in its nature. The criterion is not what can be seen, counted, or in any way appraised by the natural senses, but what is pure work of the Spirit of God alone.
