BEING BUILT UP INTO HIM.

The Spirit of God is at work within the lives of His people to bring us into full maturity. This has ever been His goal, until we ALL bear the image of Christ and reach the FULLNESS of stature that is nothing less than His own. See Ephesians 4 v 13 - 16 & Galatians 4 v 19

These last days will see a greater working through hardships, disciplines and straitening. He will have for Himself a bride that is made ready, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing. When He appears, we shall ALL be changed, transformed and then transfigured like unto Himself. We are sanctified now, yet the process of sanctification is also ongoing. (See 1 Thessalonians 4:3), "For this is the will of God, your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality."

Because of our stubbornness and pride, even our conceit and haughtiness,the Father disciplines us and trains us to submit to Him.We are to grow up into Him, in the spirit of humility. Let us not think that because He has "allowed" us to continue in our immaturity, that He is okay with it, He is not. He affords us opportunity after opportunity to put aside our own selfish desire and plans and submit to Him in all things.

Even as Israel will be brought into the constraints of the covenant, so will the ekklesia. We shall in these last days, be the ONE NEW MAN we have been birthed to be in Christ. We are being built up into a fixed abode, a habitation of God through the Spirit. This being built up, is the same as growing up into maturity of stature, which has everything to do with growing into the UNITY OF THE FAITH. As we are built up, so we grow up. This process is also end time event. The grace of God be with you all.
