约壹五6　这借着水与血来的，就是耶稣基督；不是单凭着水，乃是凭着水，又凭着血；并且作见证的就是那灵，因为那灵就是实际。

　　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。

　　今天基督的身体就是召会，她所有的实际也就是那终极完成之三一神实际的灵。经过过程之三一神的实际，乃是祂终极完成之实际的灵（约十四17，十五26，十六13，约壹五6）。这三一神之所是、所有并所能，其实际都是这实际的灵。并且这三一神所经过的死与复活，其实际也都是这实际的灵（对基督身体的透视，三一页）。

　　1 John 5:6 This is He who came through water and blood, Jesus Christ; not in the water only, but in the water and in the blood; and the Spirit is He who testifies, because the Spirit is the reality.

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

　　The Body of Christ is the church today, and all of its reality is the Spirit of the reality of the consummated Triune God. The reality of the processed Triune God is His consummated Spirit of reality (John 14:17; 15:26; 16:13; 1 John 5:6). The reality of all that the Triune God is, has, and can do is simply this Spirit of reality. The reality of the death and resurrection that the Triune God passed through is also this Spirit of reality. (CWWL, 1990, vol. 2, "A Thorough View of the Body of Christ," p. 130)

　　实际的灵使经过过程之三一神的一切，都在基督的身体里成为实际（约十六13~15）。乃是这实际的灵，使三一神一切的丰富，在基督的身体里显为可能，显为真实，那就是三一神的实际。那经过过程之三一神所是的公义、圣别、生命、亮光、能力、恩典及一切神圣的属性，都由这实际的灵实化为基督身体的实际属性（罗十五16下，十四17，弗三16）。原来，这些……都是属于神的属性，现在因着那灵在基督的身体里，把这些属性都实化到召会里了，所以召会也就有了……神圣属性的实际。

　　经过过程之三一神所经历的成为肉体、钉死与复活，也都由这实际的灵实化为基督身体的实际经历。……实际的灵来了，把三一神的这些经历都实化到我们身上来，成了我们实际的经历。因这缘故，我们今天在地上也能过一个正当的人生。……我们不生气，不怨人，更不责备人，因为借着实际的灵，基督的死实化到我们身上。不仅如此，那灵带同基督的复活也作工在我们里面，使我们还能爱人、赦免人。这些都是实际的灵把三一神自己所经历的实化到召会身上，而成为召会的实际经历。这也就是三一神实际的灵作了基督身体的实际（对基督身体的透视，三一至三二页）。

　　基督身体的实际，乃是我们在许多方面所接受、经历并享受的那灵，而召会生活的实际，就是我们在其中生活，并照其而行的那灵（在神圣三一里并同神圣三一活着，一二页）。

　　那灵是基督身体内在的素质和显于外的实际。那灵是三一神之于基督身体一切所是的秘诀。那灵如今住在我们重生的灵里，与我们的灵联合成为调和的灵（罗八9~11，林前六17）。因此，我们必须转向我们的灵，将我们的心思置于灵，并照着灵生活行动。当我们活在调和的灵里，我们就能活出基督的身体，而成为祂团体的彰显（新约总论第十一册，一九○页）。

　　你摸着属灵的实际的时候，你就摸着召会，你的行动就是在身体里的行动，而不是单独行动。比方：你要作一件事，不是说，你只要请全体弟兄姊妹来商量一下，你的手续作得很周到，就算是身体的生活；乃是说，你和别的弟兄姊妹交通（不论人数多或少），你在那里摸着那一个实际的时候，就是身体的生活。如果没有摸着属灵的实际，那么，即使全体开会通过了，也不过是肉体的意见，这不是身体的生活。唯有摸着了属灵的实际，才能活出身体的生活来（倪柝声文集第二辑第十六册，二一○至二一一页）。

　　This Spirit of reality makes everything of the processed Triune God a reality in the Body of Christ (John 16:13-15). It is this same Spirit of reality who makes all the riches of the Triune God, which are just His reality, possible and real in the Body of Christ. All that the processed Triune God is, including righteousness, holiness, life, light, power, grace, and all the divine attributes, are realized by this Spirit of reality to be the real attributes of the Body of Christ (Rom. 15:16b; 14:17; Eph. 3:16). Originally, [these attributes] were merely God's attributes; now [they] have been realized in the church by the Spirit in the Body of Christ. The church therefore possesses the reality of the divine attributes.

　　All that the Triune God experienced, including incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection, are likewise realized by this Spirit of reality to be the real experiences of the Body of Christ....When the Spirit of reality came, He made these experiences of the Triune God real in us as our real experiences. Because of this we can live a normal human life on the earth today....We do not lose our temper, nor do we blame or rebuke others, because the death of Christ is realized in us through the Spirit of reality. Moreover, the Spirit with the resurrection of Christ works in us to enable us to love and forgive others. These are all examples of how the experiences of the Triune God Himself have been realized in the church by the Spirit of reality to be the real experiences of the church. (CWWL, 1990, vol. 2, "A Thorough View of the Body of Christ," pp. 130-131)

　　The reality of the Body of Christ is the Spirit whom we have received, experienced, and enjoyed in many aspects, and the reality of the church life is the very Spirit in whom we live and according to whom we walk. (CWWL, 1988, vol. 1, "Living in and with the Divine Trinity," p. 281)

　　The Spirit is the inward essence and the expressed reality of the Body of Christ. The Spirit is the secret to all that the Triune God is to the Body of Christ. This Spirit now dwells in our regenerated spirit and is joined to our spirit as the mingled spirit (Rom. 8:9-11; 1 Cor. 6:17). Therefore, we must turn to our spirit, set our mind on the spirit, and walk according to our spirit. When we live in the mingled spirit, we will be able to live out the Body of Christ and become His corporate expression. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, p. 3404)

　　When one touches the spiritual reality, he touches the church, and his actions will be the move of the Body and not independent moves. Suppose you have to do something. Practicing the Body life does not mean that you invite all the brothers and sisters to discuss it and that you go through the procedure in a very proper way. It is when you fellowship with other brothers and sisters (irrespective of the number) and touch the reality that there is the Body life. If you have not touched the spiritual reality, even when there is unanimous consent by the whole congregation, you only have opinions of the flesh and not the Body life. Only those who have touched the spiritual reality can live the Body life. (CWWN, vol. 36, "The Holy Spirit and Reality" p. 229)
