February 2025: All About State Voting Rights Acts with Imani Brooks

1.神的经纶乃是计划把祂分赐
到祂所拣选，预定，并蒙救赎之人
作生命（作生命），生命供应（生命供应），
和他们一切
为产生（为产生），构成（构成），
并建造基督的生机身体，
终极完成于新耶路撒冷。

2. 神永远的经纶，
乃是要使人在生命、性情上，
但不在神格上，
与祂一模一样，
并使祂自己与人成为一，
使人与祂成为一，
因而使祂在彰显上
得以扩大并扩展，
使祂一切神圣的属性
得以彰显在人性美德里。

3. 神的经纶和目标
照着祂的心意
就是把祂自己建造到我们里面
也把我们建造到祂里面
为使祂能把祂神性与我们人性
调和成为一（成为一）—
基督的身体，
终极完成于新耶路撒冷，
终极完成于新耶路撒冷。
