林前十二12~13　就如身体是一个，却有许多肢体，而且身体上一切的肢体虽多，仍是一个身体，基督也是这样。因为我们不拘是犹太人或希利尼人，是为奴的或自主的，都已经在一位灵里受浸，成了一个身体，且都得以喝一位灵。

　　弗四4　一个身体和一位灵，正如你们蒙召，也是在一个盼望中蒙召的。

　　借着那灵，神圣三一的实际传输到我们里面。借着这传输，经过过程的三一神所是并所有的一切丰富，都分赐到我们里面。现今凡经过过程之三一神的所是和所有，都成了我们的元素。这使经过过程的三一神，成为我们这人的素质。这样，那灵作经过过程之三一神的完成，就成了我们的分。这就是那灵作三一神的实际，给我们经历并享受（新约总论第四册，一三三页）。

　　1 Cor. 12:12-13 For even as the body is one and has many members, yet all the members of the body, being many, are one body, so also is the Christ. For also in one Spirit we were all baptized into one Body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and were all given to drink one Spirit.

　　Eph. 4:4 One Body and one Spirit, even as also you were called in one hope of your calling.

　　Through the Spirit, the reality of the Divine Trinity is transmitted into us. Through this transmission all the riches of what the processed Triune God is and has are dispensed into us. Now whatever the processed Triune God is and has becomes our element. This makes the processed Triune God the very essence of our being. In this way the Spirit as the consummation of the processed Triune God becomes our portion. This is the Spirit as the reality of the Triune God for our experience and enjoyment. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, p. 963)

　　实际的灵是子的完满实化。那灵带我们得救之后，就要在我们里面成为子自己的实际。子的一切所是、所有、所成就、所得着以及所达到的，都借着那灵完满地作到我们里面。那灵最终成了子的实化。祂是子一切所是和所有的实际。

　　那灵是父和子一切所是的实际。没有那灵，虽有父和子所是的素质，却没有实化。以电作比方。我们尽管有电，还需要将电应用于特定的用途；电的应用就是电的实化。照样，那灵就是父和子一切所是的应用。没有那灵作实际和应用，一切事物或许是真实的，却无法得着或应用。我们若要应用神和基督的一切所是，就需要那灵。我们必须赞美主，祂今天不只是父和子，也是那灵。祂不仅是源头和流道，祂也是应用。那灵临到我们，进到我们里面，应用了我们所需父和子的一切。这真是美妙！

　　召会生活完全依赖那灵。仅仅有关于父和子的道理是不够的，我们需要借着那灵，对于在子里的父有活的应用（约翰福音生命读经，四九八至五○一页）。

　　那灵作为三一神的素质，已成为一个身体的素质。基督身体的素质乃是那灵，那灵是经过过程之三一神的完成（约七39，启二二17上）。基督身体的素质，包含三一神的神性，有能力供应神圣的生命（腓一19）；基督身体的素质，包含耶稣超绝的人性，有能力供应这超绝的人性（徒十六7）；基督身体的素质，包含基督包罗万有的死，有能力治死消极的事物（罗八13）；基督身体的素质，包含基督超越的复活，有复活的超越能力（腓三10）。

　　那灵作为三一神的实际，也是基督身体的实际。经过过程之三一神的实际，乃是终极完成之实际的灵（约十四17，十五26，十六13，约壹五6）。实际的灵使经过过程之三一神的一切成为基督身体里的实际（约十六13~15）；实际的灵使三一神一切的丰富，对基督的身体成为真实的。没有那灵，就没有基督的身体，没有召会（新约总论第十一册，一八九至一九○页）。

　　The Spirit of reality is the full realization of the Son. After the Spirit has brought us to salvation, He will become in us the very reality of the Son Himself. Whatever the Son is, has, and has accomplished, obtained, and attained will all be fully wrought into us through the Spirit. The Spirit eventually becomes the realization of the Son. He is the reality of all that the Son is and has.

　　The Spirit is the reality of all that the Father and the Son are. Without the Spirit there is the essence of what the Father and Son are, but there is no realization. Take the example of electricity. Although we may have electricity, it still needs to be applied for a specific purpose. That application of electricity is the realization of the electricity. Likewise, the Spirit is the application of all that the Father and the Son are. Without the Spirit as the realization and application, everything may be real, but it is not available or applicable. If we would apply all that God and Christ are, we need the Spirit. We must praise the Lord that today He is not only the Father and the Son but also the Spirit. He is not only the source and the course but also the application. The Spirit reaches us, entering into us and applying all that we need of the Father and the Son. This is wonderful.

　　The church life is absolutely dependent upon the Spirit. Mere doctrines concerning the Father and the Son are inadequate. We need a living application of the Father in the Son by means of the Spirit. (Life-study of John, pp. 443-445)

　　The Spirit as the essence of the Triune God has become the essence of the one Body. The essence of the Body of Christ is the Spirit, who is the consummation of the processed Triune God (John 7:39; Rev. 22:17a). The essence of the Body of Christ, containing the divinity of the Triune God, has the capacity to supply the divine life (Phil. 1:19); the essence of the Body of Christ, containing the excelling humanity of Jesus, has the capacity to supply this excelling humanity (Acts 16:7); the essence of the Body of Christ, containing the all-inclusive death of Christ, has the capacity to put to death the negative things (Rom. 8:13); and the essence of the Body of Christ, containing the surpassing resurrection of Christ, has the surpassing capacity of resurrection (Phil. 3:10).

　　The Spirit as the reality of the Triune God is also the reality of the Body of Christ. The reality of the processed Triune God is the consummated Spirit of reality (John 14:17; 15:26; 16:13; 1 John 5:6). The Spirit of reality makes everything of the processed Triune God a reality in the Body of Christ (John 16:13-15); the Spirit of reality makes all the riches of the Triune God real to the Body of Christ. Without the Spirit, there is no Body of Christ, no church. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, p. 3404)
