Word of Appetizer
First what do we need to see to experiencing Christ as our Life, and our person, for the one new man?
Colossians Chapters 3 verse 1 to 4 indicate we have one position, one life, one living, one destiny, and one glory with Christ; In order to experience Christ as our life, our person, we need to see that we have one position, one life, one living, one destiny, and one glory with Christ; The new man is the spontaneous issue of our taking Christ as our life and living Him.
Spiritual Burden
That Christ is our life is a strong indication that we are to take Him as life and live by Him, that we are to live Him in our daily life；Christ must be our life in a practical and experiential way; day by day we need to be saved in His life.
The new man is the spontaneous issue of our taking Christ as our life and living Him.
Concluding Word of the Prophesying Meeting
The Revelation of the Truth
In order to experience Christ as our life, our person, we need to see that we have one position, one life, one living, one destiny, and one glory with Christ.
Our life is the Christ who dwells within us, and this life is hidden with Christ in God; the Christ hidden in God is typified by the manna hidden in the golden pot.
That Christ is our life is a strong indication that we are to take Him as life and live by him that we are to live Him in our daily life.
The Experience of Life
.Our position is that we are in Christ; because we are in Him, we are where He is—sitting at the right hand of God; whenever we turn to our spirit, we enter through the gate of heaven and touch the throne of grace in heaven through Christ as the heavenly ladder.
Our life is the Christ who dwells within us, and this life is hidden with Christ in God; when we eat Christ as the hidden manna, we are incorporated into Him for the mutual abode of God and man.
Practice and Application
That Christ is our life is a strong indication that we are to take Him as life and live by Him, that we are to live Him in our daily life；Christ must be our life in a practical and experiential way; day by day we need to be saved in His life.
We should join ourselves to the Lord who is the interceder, the heavenly Minister and the universal Administrator. We should live a life to seek the things which are above and set our mind on them.
