God's Plan of Redemption is a remarkable study of the believers' full salvation. It mainly unveils
The Triune God as the uncreated, eternal life, signified by the tree of life in Genesis 2:9 and Revelation 22:2;
The tripartite man created by God with a spirit, soul, and body to be a vessel of the eternal life; and
God's eternal plan to dispense Himself as life into man.
This work of dispensing was fully made possible through Christ's redemption, which was carried out by His substitutionary death, attested by His glorious resurrection, and proclaimed in His victorious ascension. This dispensing is now appropriated by the believers in the way of life. It begins from man's spirit at the time of his regeneration, continues in man's soul through the life-long process of transformation, and culminates in his body at the time of his glorious transfiguration. Such a full salvation produces the many sons of God, who are conformed to the image of the firstborn Son of God through the divine life-principle. They are built up as the Body of Christ in an organic oneness and prepared as the bride of the Lamb in the divine love, unto the eternal glory of God.
Concerning the charts in this book, Witness Lee said, “To my realization, these charts are the best of their kind in all the publications of Christianity.…The charts presented here are very revealing, giving us a clear vision and impressing us with God's plan, His way in His redemption, and the way of life.” He referred to Mary McDonough's book as a “marvelous masterpiece” and said, “It is remarkable that we cannot find this book in almost any Christian bookstore in this country.” Because of this, we felt that we had to reprint this precious book to make it readily available to all the Lord's children.

Thanks Rajk999.
While you're over there look up the section of past cult fighters who changed their mind about the local churches and published a magazine with the title -
We Were Wrong.
https://contendingforthefaith.org/en/we-were-wrong/
Read all about it since you are doing some surfing there.

Alternatively you could actually answer my question.
Divegeester, are you craving my fellowship ??
I thought it is all "hairdryer" to you.
Go read Ephesians. Seriously. Read it ALOUD. Try three chapters read aloud tonight.
You can get something there without me. Ephesians - that's a great book on the Christian life and God's eternal purpose.

No, I'm not gong to be led on a wild goose chase.
Reading the wonderful epistle to the Ephesians is by no means a "wild goose chase."
And you could read Mary E. McDonough's book to have her answer some of your questions. That's what you really want right? Answers?

Not selling. Just showing you where to get your own copy.
Why is any of this stuff important to the Christian life or a new revelation of Jesus Christ?
I'll get to that with patience. Probably the next post will be about man being created in place of the angelic rebellion. Then God said "Let THEM have dominion".
Hence Satan's intense jealousy over the creation of man in the image of God committed with authority to have dominion for God.
There's no hurry. I've been writing about these things for a long time.
You whine "Witness Lee, Watchman Nee, whine!, whine!, whine!."
So I thought I'd let some of you learn from a good Christian sister teacher who really has vision and insight - Mary McDonough.
No hurry Divegeester. You've heard some of this before and trashed it as hairdryer, waffle, etc. Do I need to sweat because you're impatient ?
Na.
Skipping to the end of this book Sister McDonough writes these helpful words concerning the practical relevance of her whole treatise.
There must be constant recognition of our identification with our Crucified, Risen, Victorious, ascended Lord, and definite reckoning upon His life, moment by moment, if we are to demonstrate the completeness of His Redemptive work as fully as He desires, before He comes.
God the Holy Spirit is preparing a "little flock" to overcome even as He overcame. Christ would not wish to return until He could say of these overcoming ones,, "They overcame bt the Blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death." (See Rev. 12:11)
[ God's Plan of Redemption, Mary E. McDonough, LSM, pg.110 ]
This is a good book for those wanting that the Lord Jesus have something to come back to in terms of the normal participation in His redemptive salvation.
