The interrelation between the judicial and the organic aspects of Gods complete salvation
There are five ways in which Gods judicial redemption and Gods organic salvation are interrelated (The Organic Aspect 74-76):
- Gods judicial redemption as the procedure qualifies and positions the believers to enjoy Gods organic salvation.
- Judicially, the church of God was produced through Gods objective judicial redemption (Acts 20:28). Organically, the church of God is constituted with the people regenerated by God in the divine life (Eph. 1:22-23).
- Gods organic salvation needs to be maintained constantly through Gods judicial redemption. Thus, when the believers fellowship with God is interrupted due to their sins, it must be restored through the redeeming blood of Christ (1 John 1:6-9).
- The believers ultimate transfiguration in their physical body to enter into Gods glory is the redemption of their body (Eph. 4:30; Rom. 8:23). Our rapture and transfiguration to enter into glory is an organic matter, whereas the redemption of our body is a judicial matter.
- Gods judicial redemption as the procedure is purposeless without Gods organic salvation, the goal. Gods eternal purpose is to have a Body for Christ. This Body ultimately consummates in the New Jerusalem as the enlargement and expression of God for eternity.
