this is Gods plan not religion

God's economy [plan] is not a religion, but a wonderful,
unlimited, immeasurable, unsearchable, and all-inclusive
Person, Christ Jesus Himself. Christ is the embodiment of God
and the content of the church. This Christ is to be our life
and our person.

Many Christians pay more attention to the Bible than to
Christ. This indicates that even the Bible can be utilized to
distract people from Christ. Surely, we believe, respect, and
honor the Bible to the uttermost. But we recognize that the
Bible is the revelation of the living Person of Christ. If we
do not pay attention to the Christ revealed in the Bible,
then we ignore the main function of the Bible, which is to
reveal this very Christ to us. How we need to be recovered
fully to Christ Himself!
We need to be recovered not merely to the objective Christ in
the heavens, but to the subjective Christ in our spirit. This
subjective One is seeking to spread Himself into our heart.
Not only is Christ our Savior objectively, but He is our life
and our person subjectively. We need to devote our full
attention to such a subjective Christ. In Galatians 2:20 Paul
could say, “Not I, but Christ who lives in me.” Here Paul did
not speak of the life of Christ, the work of Christ, or the
power of Christ; he spoke of Christ Himself living in him.
Hallelujah, the very Person of Christ is living in us!
