Weekly Pursuit – Week 3 of April
Verses:
Gal. 2:20b “The life which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.”
Excerpts:
I hope that when the Lord comes back, He can find you and me as the believing ones, who always trust in Him, not in ourselves, and who always have no assurance in ourselves. Our full assurance is in Him. This is the linking faith. This faith qualifies you and me to be the overcomers to meet Christ in His triumphant return.
The believers who live an overcoming and exulting life by the linking faith will be found by Christ at His return as the treasures ready to receive the salvation of their souls as the result of their faith. In a sense, we do not know anything or do anything. We only know how to overcome and how to exult by the linking faith. Those who live by faith today will eventually receive the end of their faith, that is, the salvation of their souls. We have received a salvation, but this is just the initial salvation. The progressing stage of salvation is the stage of transformation. The completing stage of salvation is the stage of glorification. If we live by the linking faith in the progressing stage to be transformed, we will be kings with Christ in the millennial kingdom.
The linking faith is the living God moving in us to link us to all His unsearchable riches. This overcoming faith qualifies the Lord’s overcomers, who are waiting for and eagerly expecting the coming back of the Lord, who will find them at His coming as men of His linking faith, as treasures for His kingdom in the thousand years of His reign.
