约七39　 耶稣这话是指着信入祂的人将要受的那灵说的；那时还没有那灵，因为耶稣尚未得着荣耀。

　　徒一8　　 但圣灵降临在你们身上，你们就必得着能力，并要……作我的见证人。

　　罗十二5　 我们这许多人，在基督里是一个身体，并且各个互相作肢体，也是如此。

　　我们已经看见，旧约是神永远经纶表征的图画。新约乃是神永远经纶实际的完成。……图画是图像、照片。……旧约就像录影带。新约是实物。……在完成的一面那真实的人，与他的影像是完全一样的。新约有二十七卷书，分为三部分：福音书、使徒行传和书信。福音书有四卷，使徒行传是一卷，书信有二十二卷（李文集一九九四至一九九七年第三册，九三页）。

　　John 7:39 But this He said concerning the Spirit, whom those who believed into Him were about to receive; for the Spirit was not yet, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

　　Acts 1:8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you shall be My witnesses...

　　Rom. 12:5 So we who are many are one Body in Christ, and individually members one of another.

　　We have seen that the Old Testament is a figurative portrait. of God’s eternal economy. The New Testament is the practical fulfillment of God’s eternal economy... A portrait is a picture, a photo...The Old Testament is like a video. The New Testament is the real thing...The person in the fulfillment is exactly the same as his photo. There are twenty-seven books in the New Testament in three sections: the Gospels, Acts, and the Epistles. The Gospels are of four books, Acts is one book, and the Epistles are of twenty-two books. (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 3, “The Triune God’s Revelation and His Move,” p. 78)

　　我们愿意……来看四卷福音书那中心、内在的启示。从马太福音至约翰福音中心、内在的启示乃是：三一神经过了种种过程并终极完成，成为包罗万有赐生命的灵。三一神经过了成为肉体、人性生活、死与复活的过程。祂也终极完成为赐生命的灵。在四福音的末了，在祂复活那一日，祂回到祂的门徒那里，向他们吹入一口气，说，“你们受圣灵。”（约二十22）在祂复活之后，基督在我们里面乃是那灵。保罗在林前十五章四十五节说，末后的亚当，就是那具体化身的神，也就是具体化身在人里面的神，成了赐生命的灵。

　　借着祂的成为肉体成了神人，借着祂的人性生活过神人的生活，借着祂包罗万有的死，救赎祂失丧的受造之物，并释放祂神

　　 圣的生命，也借着祂的复活，将祂自己分赐到祂所救赎的选民里面，作他们的生命和一切，三一神已经经过了过程。因此，这位经过过程并终极完成的三一神，作为包罗万有赐生命的灵，就分赐到祂所拣选、救赎的人里面，作他们的生命和一切。

　　使徒行传揭示，包罗万有赐生命的灵，作那是神具体化身之基督的实际，扩展祂自己，为着产生神的众召会。当我们相信主耶稣，我们就接受祂到我们里面作那灵。事实上，那灵就是基督，就是基督的实际。

　　在四卷福音书里，只有两次提到召会，就是在马太十六章十八节和十八章十七节，但是没有提到基督的身体。使徒行传说到众召会，但也没有提到基督的身体。基督的身体只在书信中提及。事实上，头二十一卷书信揭示基督的身体，而启示录启示新耶路撒冷作为基督身体的终极完成。罗马十二章五节是整本新约第一处提到基督身体的经节。这指明所有的书信都是为着基督的身体。别卷说到基督身体的书信，有哥林多前书、以弗所书和歌罗西书。罗马书、哥林多前书、以弗所书和歌罗西书这四卷书，乃是新约主要的书。如果把这四卷书拿走，新约就会变得空洞。

　　罗马书至启示录揭示，包罗万有赐生命的灵借着将众召会变化成为那作神长子之基督的形像，而将众召会建造成为终极完成之三一神的生机体，作基督的身体，这要终极完成于新耶路撒冷，作终极完成之三一神永远的扩大和彰显（李文集一九九四至一九九七年第三册，九四至九六页）。

　　We want to... see the central, intrinsic revelation of the four Gospels. This revelation from Matthew to John is that the Triune God has been processed and consummated to be the all-inclusive life-giving Spirit. The Triune God has been processed through incarnation, human living, death, and resurrection. He was also consummated to be a life-giving Spirit. At the end of the four Gospels, on the day of His resurrection, He came back to His disciples, breathed into them, and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit” (John 20:22). After His resurrection Christ is in us as the Spirit. In 1 Corinthians 15:45 Paul says that the last Adam, the embodied God, God embodied in a man, became the life-giving Spirit.

　　The Triune God has been processed through His incarnation to become the God-man, through His human living to live the God-man’s life, through His all-inclusive death to redeem His lost creation and to release His divine life, and through His resurrection to dispense Himself into His redeemed chosen people as their life and everything. Thus, the processed, consummated Triune God as the all-inclusive life-giving Spirit is dispensed into His chosen, redeemed people to be their life and everything.

　　Acts unveils the all-inclusive life-giving Spirit spreading Himself as the reality of Christ, who is the embodiment of God, for the producing of the churches of God. When we believed in the Lord Jesus, we received Him into us as the Spirit. Actually, that Spirit is Christ, the reality of Christ.

　　In the four Gospels the church is mentioned only twice, in Matthew 16:18 and 18:17, but the Body of Christ is not mentioned. Acts speaks of the churches but also does not mention the Body of Christ. The Body of Christ is mentioned only in the Epistles. Actually, the first twenty-one Epistles unveil the Body of Christ, whereas Revelation reveals the New Jerusalem as the consummation of the Body of Christ. Romans 12:5 is the first verse in the entire New Testament that mentions the Body of Christ. This indicates that all the Epistles are for the Body of Christ. Other Epistles that speak of the Body of Christ are 1 Corinthians, Ephesians, and Colossians. These four books—Romans, 1 Corinthians, Ephesians, and Colossians—are the master books of the New Testament. If these books were taken away, the New Testament would become empty.

　　Romans to Revelation unveils the all-inclusive life-giving Spirit building up the churches into the organism of the consummated Triune God as the Body of Christ, by transforming them into the image of Christ as the firstborn Son of God, which will consummate in the New Jerusalem as the eternal enlargement and expression of the consummated Triune God. (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 3, “The Triune God’s Revelation and His Move,” pp. 78-80)
