Brew a pitcher of tea.
Place the tea leaves into the warm water and see what happens and have understanding.
No water can become tea in any other way. Water cannot immitate tea. Water cannot behave as tea. No instruction nor teaching nor effort in any means can make water become like tea.
It is only when it is placed within the water, that the tea changes the water.
It is no longer water at all.
Behold, what once was water has become something else. It is called the name of the substance that was placed within. It has become infused by the strength of the tea, and now there is no more water. There is only one thing - where once was two things ... there is only tea.
So, it is that God wanted to shed His own substance into creation. First, He begot a Son (the tea-bag) fit to disperse His Spirit to the world. We opened Him up, and bled Him of this substance. Indeed we peirced Him with our iniquity and out-flowed the healing substance, so that we can be called all the things that are rightfully reserved to describe only God.
We are holy, perfect, and righteous. We have been infused by His life and what is true for Him is now true for all those that believe upon Him and are saved.
We are couldn't immitate it, nor learn it nor behave as though we could be prefect, righteous and holy. We needed His life within us ... and by God's perfect plan ... He brews a new substance in creation ... though the substance is not new to Him ... it is exactly like Him.
It is the church.
