Christ Likeness and Function. (The White Stone with our New Name. Rev.2: 17)
`To him who overcomes, I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no one knows except him who receives it. ` (Rev. 2: 17)
To have our own new name written on that `white stone,` is to have our specific character and function identified.
`Coming to Him as to a living stone,....precious...
...you also, as living stones,
are being built up a spiritual house,
a holy priesthood,...`
(1 Peter 2: 4 & 5)
This shows that the living likeness of Christ, the precious Stone, is imprinted on every redeemed soul. And every living stone built in the spiritual structure of this celestial house, has become a partaker of the divine nature.
We are individually set in the Body of Christ with a specific purpose and function.
`...now God has set the members, each one of them,
in the body just as He pleased.`
