The Tree-of-Life is where we become completely dependent on God.
The Bible must be properly used as a vehicle to reveal the Person of Jesus Christ who is
for us sufficient and complete.
2. We are about the Ultimate Conception:
Things must be viewed in Christ, not after the fall but before the fall. What is Gods
intention from the beginning? The Cross (as an experience of dying to old life) must rectify our self-centered view, so
we can look at things from Gods view and intention.
Our level of maturity affects our concepts of God. Our outlook will determine our
outcome.
3. We are about the Ultimate Learning:
Wisdom that comes from above is for spiritual discernment, not necessarily for fleshly
consumption.
Train our spirit to receive things/truth from God. God reveals, man receives.
To know Jesus is the ultimate object of our learning.
4. We are about the Ultimate Foundation: Christ is the test of our work, its quality and increase, and the energy employed in doing
them.
We must build with a single eye to the larger purpose of God in Christ where things are
from Him, through Him, and for Him.
5. We are about the Ultimate Issue in Life:
We must live for Gods full satisfaction.
We must be satisfied only when He is satisfied.
We must live Gods predetermined purpose for us.
6. We are about the Ultimate Preparation:
It always means character development. Also it means to consecrate our whole life to God.
7. We are about the Ultimate Ministry:
It is expressive ministry where service is the result of experiencing Christ in us.
Expressive because He is in us to will and to do His good pleasure.
Ministry should be the result of love and intimacy with God who gives power, direction,
and success.
Learn to minister to produce life, not death.
8. We are about the Ultimate Promotion: True promotion comes from the Lord.
God prepares a man before He promotes him to a place of honor.
