Dear Brothers, Sisters and Friends:

Greetings!  On behalf of all of us at Christian Assembly of San Gabriel Valley (CASGV), we would like to welcome your visit at our website.  We sincerely hope you find spiritual provision here, as well as blessings through fellowship with us and intercession by us.

CASGV is a group of born again Christians and truth-pursuing friends.  In our gathering, the sole purpose is to pursue and exalt the Lord one-heartedly, setting aside the differences in our upbringing and denominational background.  Through the Bible teaching, fellowship with one another, and service in love, we endeavor to proclaim and share the wonderful salvation of Jesus Christ.

Thank God for His leading that we can meet with you at our website.  We appreciate your visit, and sincerely wish to meet with you personally one day in one of our meetings.

May the Lord Jesus who gives peace be with you always.

Your brother in Christ,

Timothy Liang

A common question we often ask our friends is: "What is the meaning of life?"  We also like to ask Christians: "what is the meaning of being a Christian?"  We ask these questions because only after we truly grasp the meaning of our life, can we believe in the Lord; and only after understanding the meaning of being a Christian, can we realize the reason why God saved us.  A very serious subject all Christians have to deal with is - what are our mark and the way to the mark?  Because only when we truly see the mark, can we have the strength to run toward it; only when we know the way, can we reach our mark.

I.  What Are "Vision" and "Mark"

 

A.  Mystery and Revelation - Through the Holy Spirit, God reveals to us His eternal purpose which was hidden.

 

"...that by revelation there was made known to me the mystery, as I wrote before in brief.  And by referring to this, when you read you can understand my insight into the mystery of Christ, which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed to his Holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit; to be specific, that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel."    Eph. 3:3-6

¡@

 Paul mentioned in the book of Ephesians "the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God".  That mystery is concerning God's eternal plan and purpose, and according to which God works.  That mystery used to be hidden for ages that no one knew as if covered by layers of veil.

 

Fortunately, we have entered into the era of Holy Spirit, through which "God ... was pleased to reveal His Son..."(Gal 1:15-16).  Therefore, the veil has been lifted to bring to light the mystery which for ages has been hidden.  We can now see the eternal purpose in God's heart.  Bible also tells us that "The mystery of God is Christ"(Col. 2:2).  Hence, Christ is the center of God's purpose, and the center of all revelation.  The mystery of Christ is "church", which is Christ in a collective form.  In due time, Church will become the manifestation of the fullness of Christ.

 

B.  Vision and Mark - The vision we see brings forth a mission in our heart and becomes the mark toward which we run.

 

"Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do:  forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus."  Phil. 3:13 ¡V14

 

We receive a vision when the Holy Spirit reveals in our heart God's eternal purpose.  This vision will attract us and control our life style, words, deeds and services.  After seeing the vision of the glorious Christ on his way to Damascus, Paul's remaining life was controlled by it.  Even till the end of his days, he still proclaimed to King Agippa that "I did not prove disobedient to the heavenly vision" (Acts 26:19)

 

Vision is active and living.  The mission brought forth by the vision will become the mark toward which we run.  Many saints through ages had clearly seen this mark.   Abraham was one of them who saw a city with foundations, whose builder and architect is God.   Having seen the joy laid ahead of Him, Lord Jesus was able to despise all shames, endure the cross, and finish the course of His journey.  The same vision and same mark became Paul's.  Therefore, he had only one thing in mind, which is to forget what is behind and press forward toward the mark.

 

In order to see clearly our mark and the way to the mark, we need to know the footsteps of restoration of spiritual inheritance.  In the age of apostles, all revelation reached its peak and fullness.  Faith and revelation they received were complete.  However, that initial and complete revelation was destroyed afterwards, and the spiritual inheritance originally obtained was lost.  Later God worked to restore lost revelation and inheritance.  Once restored, they can no longer be destroyed or lost.

II.  II. Footsteps of the Restoration of Revelation

 

A.  Our history and spiritual inheritance

 

We can only briefly list a few saints who restored important spiritual inheritance.  When knowing the history of restoration, we will cherish more the inheritance in the body of Christ.

 

1.  Martin Luther ¡V Justification by faith

2.  Lawrence ¡V The presence of God

3.  John Bunyan ¡V Spiritual battles

4.  Madam Guyon ¡V Absolute obedience

5.  Zinsendorf ¡V Service of the kingdom   

6.  John Wesley ¡V Sanctification

7.  Fanny ¡V Power of gospel

8.  Darby ¡V Grace and brotherly love

9.  George Muller - Way of faith

10. Andrew Murray - Abide in Christ

                              11. Jesse Penn-Lewis ¡V Truth of the cross and the victorious life

                            12. Brethren ¡V Christ is the Head and His second coming

13. A. B. Simpson - Christ is all and in all

14. A. Sparks ¡V Ascended Christ and His body

                                     15.  Watchman Nee- Working cross and the body of Christ

 

B.  What are we?

 

On one hand, we are in the body of Christ to receive all inheritance; on the other hand, the Lord urges us to pursuit inheritance in Him.  Whatever we obtain will be for the benefit of His church and His body.

 

Bible records three important festivals, which represents three mainstreams types in the church.  The first festival is "Passover", which represents church that emphasizes fundamental teaching or evangelism.  The second one is "Pentecost", which represents church that emphasizes the experiences of Holy Spirit.  The third one is "Booths", which represents the church that emphasizes deeper, inner spiritual life, and unification with Christ.  Each year men of Israel had to go up to Jerusalem three times for the celebration of these three festivals, not just picking one to go.  In the same way, we can not just pick one church type, but accept and develop all three.  We should stand on the foundation of salvation (Passover), cherish spiritual gifts and experiences (Pentecost), and pursuit deeper, inner spiritual life (Booths).

III.  Our Vision and Mark

 

The whole bible talks about the core of God's purpose is a living person, Christ.  The ultimate purpose of God's plan is for Christ to fill all and in all (Eph.4:10).  Christ encompasses the individual Christ and Corporate Christ, therefore, Christ and His Church.  Christ has completed the salvation, and Church are His redeemed people.  Christ has risen from the dead, and church becomes His fullness.  Christ has enthroned, and church reigns with Him. 

 

A.  Christ - Glorious Lord

 

"...but Christ is all, and in all."  Col. 3:11

 

1.  Christ is all

 

Christ has completed salvation and, in His humanity, sit on the Father's eternal throne.  A hymn says: "Christ in glory has completely enlightened my heart."  Its ending is: "I have seen the glorious face of Christ, do not mention anything else to me."  Once we see the glorious Lord, He will become everything to us.  "Only Jesus, Jesus ever...", He becomes the center of our living and service as well as the head of everything we do.  Then we will say "You are the beloved Lord, my vision; only you are everything to me; all else are vain." 

 

2.  Christ is in all - Obtain Christ through all things

 

In Christ all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form (Col 2:9).  The Lord obtained the greatest release through the cross.   He is now entering into all things through the Holy Spirit, so that we may obtain Him through all things.  God makes all things work together for the benefit of those who love God.  In every circumstance, we can see the Lord and obtain the Lord until we have Him as our utmost treasure.

 

B.  Church ¡V the Glory of the Lord

 

"Which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all."  Eph.  1:23

 

1.  The vision of church

 

Church is the body of Christ, the one that fills all and in all.  Church is the bride of Christ, the continuation and manifestation of the Son of God.  In Chapter two of the book of Genesis, God took one of Adam's ribs and made it into a woman.  This mystery is later explained in the book of Ephesians Chapter five that it actually refers to Christ and His church.  At the end of Bible in the book of Revelation, God's purpose is accomplished, and the bride is fully adorned, which means the body of Christ has reached its full measure in the form of New Jerusalem, the holy city, descending from above.  Finally, Christ fills all through His church, and Gods' ultimate purpose is achieved.

 

   2.  The testimony of church - The manifestation of the fullness of the body of Christ

 

Church is the manifestation of Christ.  Once the fullness is manifested, it is called "testimony".  "Church" is different from "church's testimony", just as "Christian" is different from "Christian's testimony".  The reason is that a person can be saved and become a Christian, but his living may remain pretty much the same, without the testimony of being a Christian.  The purpose of God's work today is to let this testimony be seen on earth.  Therefore, we need to continuously and earnestly pursue Him after we are saved in order to manifest the testimony of Church.

IV.  Our Way

 

Seeing the mark does not mean reaching it.  However, if we know what our mark is, we will not easily grow weary or lose heart.  In the most severe battle with our foes, if with the ultimate mark in mind, we can obtain the patience of Christ and press on with other Christians on this glorious way.

 

A.  Christ is our way

 

Lord Jesus told us in John Chapter 14: " I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through me."  The Lord incarnated and lived as a man for 33.5 years, in which He fully manifested the fullness of Deity.  In order to bring us into glory, through His death on the cross, He put an end to the old creation, rose from the dead, defeated the power of death and Satan, and was received up into heavenly glory.  Christ is our way, on which we shall all walk, just as He did on the way of the cross.  Only if we go through the way of crucified Christ, can we reach the mark.

 

 

B.  Three main ministries in the New Testament and three ways we pursue

 

   1.  The ministry of Peter

              ¡V Obtain materials for God's kingdom through gospel preaching

 

In the book of Acts chapter two, church started officially on Pentecost after Jesus resurrected and poured down His glorified spirit.  On that day, Peter stood up and said "...This Jesus God raised up again, to which we are all witnesses..."  Today, in the same way, all children of God should be His witnesses.  The Lord truly lives within us.  He talks with us, and walks with us.  Therefore, we are not preaching a doctrine, but a living Lord.

 

   2.  The ministry of Apostle John

            - The growth and edification of the spiritual life

 

Apostle John began the book of I John by saying: "What  was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we beheld and our hands handled, concerning the Word of Life..."  Hence, we Christians have received the eternal life, for which the church should bear witness, accept the work of the cross, and obey the anointed teaching in order to show forth the beautiful life of Christ.

 

   3.  The ministry of Paul

             - Build up the body of Christ in love

 

The book of Ephesians reaches the climax of the revelation in the Bible.  Paul explained this revelation in the first three chapters, and talked about the way to practice it from the fourth chapter.  First, we need to keep the oneness in the Holy Spirit to bear the witness of unity.  Then, we need to build up the body of Christ in love.  Hence, we always have to keep ourselves on the way of building up, not just individually, but also collectively, until one day the church reaches the full measure of Christ.
