I.　The New Jerusalem is the embodiment of God's complete salvation with its judicial and organic aspects—Rom. 5:10; Rev. 22:14:

A.　God's complete salvation is a composition of God's righteousness as the base and God's life as the consummation—Rom. 5:18.

B.　The entire New Jerusalem is a matter of life built on the foundation of righteousness—Rev. 21:14, 19-20; cf. Gen. 9:8-17; Psa. 89:14.

C.　In the New Jerusalem Christ will still be the redeeming Lamb—Rev. 22:1:

1.　He was appointed to be the Lamb in eternity past in the design of redemption—1 Pet. 1:19-20.

2.　He died as the Lamb in time for the accomplishment of redemption—John 1:29; 1 Pet. 1:18-19.

D.　In His organic salvation God proceeds step by step to save us in the divine life so that we may be filled with this life in our entire being to become the city of life—Rom. 8:10, 6, 11; Rev. 22:1-2.

II.　God's judicial redemption of forgiveness of sins, washing away of sins, justification by God, reconciliation to God, and positional sanctification unto the Lord is to prepare the God-men to live the organic salvation of God for the accomplishment of God's eternal economy—Rom. 5:10:

A.　The Passover in the Old Testament reveals the redeeming aspect of the blood of the lamb according to God's judicial requirement and the saving aspect of the flesh of the lamb according to God's organic provision of life—Exo. 12:7-8.

D.　In the Lord's crucifixion, the blood out of His side signifies the redemptive aspect of His death for our judicial redemption and the water out of His side signifies the life-imparting aspect for our organic salvation—John 19:34.

III.　The process of God's organic salvation is God's move to deify man, making man God in life and in nature but not in the Godhead:

A.　The key of God's organic salvation is the Spirit with our spirit—Rom. 8:16; 1 Cor. 6:17.

B.　We are saved organically to become the New Jerusalem by exercising our spirit to enjoy the Triune God—1 Tim. 4:7; 2 Tim. 1:6-7; Jude 19-21:

1.　We need to enjoy God the Father as the light of life—Rev. 21:23, 11; 22:5:

a.　Through our genuine, intimate, living, and loving fellowship with God, who is light (1 John 1:5; Col. 1:12), we will realize that we are sinful and we will take Christ as our sin offering and trespass offering so that we can remain in the spiritual cycle of life—1 John 1:7-9.

b.　For the building up of the Body of Christ, we do not need the artificial light created by man; instead, we need to walk and live under the divine, redeeming, shining light through the word of God—Isa. 50:10-11; John 8:12; Psa. 119:105, 130; Matt. 5:14; Rev. 1:20; cf. Psa. 73:17.

b.　We are not only the eaters of this tree, enjoying the continually fresh fruit, but also the branches of this tree, abiding in Him to enjoy the life-juice—John 15:5; 14:6; 15:7; 8:31.

c.　The tree of life was unique in Genesis 2:9, but today the tree of life grows in all of us, causing each one of us to be a small tree of life— 1 John 3:9; Mark 4:26; Col. 2:19.

3.　We need to enjoy God the Spirit as the river of life—Rev. 22:1:

a.　By drinking the living water, we become the New Jerusalem, the totality of the eternal life, the destination of the flowing Triune God—John 4:14b.

b.　As believers in Christ we need to drink and flow the water of life—John 7:37-39; cf. Prov. 11:25.

C.　As we experience each section of God's organic salvation, we go up level by level until we become beings in the New Jerusalem:

1.　We are regenerated by participating in God's life to become God's species, God's children, for God's sonship—John 1:12-13; Rev. 21:7; 22:14b.
