Plus Organic Salvation
OPENING WORD OF THE PROPHESYING MEETING
Reading the verses in each day.
Reading the main points in the outlines.
Pray-reading the verses:
Rom. 5:10 For if we, being enemies, were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more we will be saved in His life, having been reconciled.
Rom. 12:2 And do not be fashioned according to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of the mind…
Rom. 8:30 And those whom He predestinated, these He also called; and those whom He called, these He also justified; and those whom He justified, these He also glorified.
Word of Appetizer
What God has carried out by His life organically is salvation are included?
(1) regeneration for us to receive the eternal life of God, (2) shepherding for us to grow and exist in the divine life, (3) sanctification in our disposition, (4) renewing in our mind, (5) transformation in our image, issuing in (6) God’s building, (7) conformation to the image of God’s firstborn Son, that is, maturity in the divine life, and (8) glorification, which is the consummation of God’s eternal economy (8:30). The eight items in the organic aspect issue in the church of God to constitute the Body of Christ, which will consummate the New Jerusalem, which is the ultimate goal of God’s eternal economy.
Spiritual Burden
God’s goal in these eight sections of His organic salvation is simply to make us God in life, in nature, and in expression but not in the Godhead, that is, to make us a duplication, a xerox copy, of God; “the Spirit Himself with our spirit” is the secret of God’s organic salvation.
Concluding Word of the Prophesying Meeting
The Revelation of the Truth
God’s complete salvation is of two aspects—the judicial aspect and the organic aspect.
The organic aspect of God’s salvation is carried out in the divine and mystical realm of Christ’s heavenly ministry subjectively by Christ as the life-giving Spirit in the following eight steps.
God’s goal in these eight sections of His organic salvation is simply to make us God in life, in nature, and in expression but not in the Godhead, that is, to make us a duplication, a xerox copy, of God; “the Spirit Himself with our spirit” is the secret of God’s organic salvation.
The Experience of Life
By the renewing Spirit mingling with the believers’ regenerated spirit indwelt by Christ as one spirit, it spreads into the believers’ mind (Eph. 4:23) to renew their entire being as a member of the new man.
Conformation is when the believers have matured in the divine life by the maturing Spirit in their spirit enriched with Christ to be a full-grown man, at the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.
Practice and Application
The believers should live and walk by the Spirit (Gal. 5:16, 25) and walk according to the mingled spirit (Rom. 8:4b), that the divine life of Christ may have the way to regulate them and transform them into the image of the Lord in glory.
God’s goal in these eight sections of His organic salvation is simply to make us God in life, in nature, and in expression but not in the Godhead, that is, to make us a duplication, a xerox copy, of God; “the Spirit Himself with our spirit” is the secret of God’s organic salvation.
PROPHESYING TOPICS—TWELVE TOPICS PER WEEK
Day 1
T1 The complete salvation of God has two aspects (Eph. 1:7; Rom. 5:10)
(Please illustrate that the first aspect of God’s complete salvation is the judicial aspect, what are the five items accomplished.)
T2 The organic salvation issue in the church of God to constitute the Body of Christ, which will consummate the New Jerusalem (Rom. 5:21)
(Please illustrate that in the aspect of purpose, that which God has carried out by His life organically is salvation, and which eight items are included.)
Day 2
T1 It is extremely important that we differentiate between the procedure of God’s complete salvation and the purpose of His complete salvation (Eph. 1:7; Rom. 3:24)
(Please illustrate that the procedure is judicial, and the purpose is organic. Furthermore, the procedure is in the physical realm, and the purpose is in the mystical realm.)
T2 As the life-giving Spirit, Christ is accomplishing God’s organic salvation subjectively in eight steps (Rom. 8:9-10)
(Please illustrate that the judicial aspect is according to the righteousness of God as the procedure of God’s salvation; the organic aspect of God’s salvation is through the life of God to carry out God’s salvation.)
Day 3
T1 Regeneration is that God imparts His life into the believers in order that they may be regenerated and
partake of God’s life (John 3:3, 6)
(Please illustrate that how a man were regenerated.)
T2 Regeneration is the center of God’s complete salvation and the commencement of God’s salvation in its organic aspect (1 Pet. 1:23; John 1:12-13)
(Please illustrate that the way to be regenerated is to receive the Lord Jesus by believing into Him. )
Day 4
T1 The initial feeding is to feed the newborn babes, the new believers (1 Pet. 2:2; John 6:63)
(Please illustrate that we feed the newborn babes, the new believers, with the milk of the word, which is the Spirit, for their growth in the divine life unto their daily salvation.)
T2 The initial feeding is followed by the continual feeding (Heb. 5:14)
(Please illustrate that the continual feeding is to feed the growing believers with the solid word, which is
the Spirit of life, for their maturity in the divine life unto transformation and conformation to the image of Christ.)
Day 5
T1 In renewing the mingled spirit penetrates our troublesome mind, causing it to be changed and even to become the mind of Christ (Eph. 4:23; Rev. 21:2)
(Please illustrate that the believers should be renewed to be as new as the New Jerusalem since they all will be the consummating part of the New Jerusalem.)
T2 Transformation is a matter of inward metabolism issuing in an outward expression (Rom. 12:2; 2 Cor. 3:18)
(Please illustrate that transformation is accomplished by the Lord Spirit (the pneumatic Christ) transforming the believers into the image of the glory of Christ.)
Day 6
T1 To be glorified is to enter into glory (Rom. 8:23, 30)
(Please illustrate that glorification is that the believers grow to maturity in Christ’s life.)
T2 Regeneration is God entering into man, whereas glorification is man entering into God (Rom. 8:23, 30)
(Please illustrate that the glorification of the matured believers is the top portion of their divine sonship in God’s organic salvation.)
