1Ⅰ The reality of the Body of Christ is the highest peak in God’s economy and the top revelation of the Bible, revealed through a spirit of wisdom and revelation — Eph. 1:17, 22-23:
2A We need revelation to know the reality of the Body of Christ and to enter into the realm and intrinsic significance of the reality of the Body of Christ as God’s heart’s desire and His ultimate purpose — vv. 5, 9-11, 22-23; Rom. 12:1-2.
3B Only a revelation from God will usher us into the realm of the reality of the Body of Christ, and only then will the Body become our experience — Acts 9:1-5, 15; 26:18-19; Eph. 1:17-23; 3:3-5, 9; 1 Cor. 12:12.
4C The secret of seeing the heavenly vision of God’s ultimate purpose is our willingness to pay the price for it — Matt. 5:3, 8; 6:22; Psa. 25:9, 14; Rev. 3:18.
