Flame of the Sword of the Cheribum Turns Every Way

Christ as our life is the foundation of a Christian. The first step in our salvation is regeneration, and the last step is the redemption of the body. From beginning to end, everything is based on Christ as our life. The relationship between Him and us is that of life. In other words, it is an indissoluble relationship. Christ does not come to be some outward things to us. He comes to enter into us to be our life. The relationship of life is an eternal bond. In case we do not have Christ as our life, we have no relationship with Him at all. Yet possessing Him as our life, our union with Him is indissoluble.

We observe how after Adam sinned, God instantly guarded the way to the tree of life with cherubim and flame of sword which turned every way. Why? Because should Adam also eat the fruit of the tree of life, he would have a relationship with God that could not be dissolved. Thank God, our union with Christ today is that which Adam in the beginning never had. It is an eternal, indestructible relationship, such that even God himself has no way to dissolve it. This life abides in us and will bring us into glory, into eternity. This is the exceeding greatness of His power! This is the hope of glory!
