Our Daily Living is the Living of Grace, a Total Living of Experiencing God as Grace

As believers in Christ, our living is the living of grace, the experience of grace; the Lord as grace is with our spirit, and we are mingled with Him, so our living is a total living of experiencing the Triune God as grace. Amen!

God chose us according to the father’s foreknowledge in the sanctification of the Spirit unto the obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ, and now grace and peace are multiplied to us (1 Pet. 1:2).

The law was given through Moses to be a picture of what God is, but grace and reality came through Jesus Christ. When Christ came, grace came; when Christ came, the age of grace came.

Before Christ, we had the law, and everyone had to obey the law, for the law acted as a child conductor, leading men to Christ.

But now that Christ came, the law is over, and we believers in Christ can enjoy Christ as grace. Christ as grace is with our spirit.

In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of offenses, according to the riches of His grace (Eph. 1:8).

God caused the grace of Christ to abound to us in all wisdom and prudence (v. 8). Thank the Lord, we have obtain access by faith into this grace in which we stand! We stand in grace, and nothing can shake us from standing in the grace into which we have access by faith.

Sin is erased. God is flowing in our hearts and flowing in us. He made propitiation by His blood, our sin is erased and taken care of, and now we believers in Christ stand in grace!

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit is with us all. Praise the Lord, we have a spiritual pulse, which is the transmission of the Triune God as the love of God, the grace of Christ, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit!

Day by day we need to check our pulse; we need to contact the Triune God and enjoy the divine transmission so that we have a proper spiritual pulse.

When we contact the Lord in our spirit, the Father blesses us and keeps us, Christ makes His face shine upon us and is gracious to us, and the Spirit lifts up His countenance upon us and gives us peace. Praise the Lord!

When we contact the Lord in our spirit, the love of God the Father is the fountain of love and light to us, the grace of Christ is the fatness of God’s house for our enjoyment, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit is the river of God’s pleasures for us to drink. Amen, may we drink of the river of God’s pleasures today!

Our Living is the Living of Grace, the Experience of Grace – The Total Living of Experiencing the Triune God as Grace

We believers in Christ are new covenant ministers, and our living is the living of grace, the experience of grace (Heb. 12:28; 1 Cor. 15:10; 2 Cor. 1:12, 15).

Actually, we have a total living and experiencing the Triune God as grace, for grace is with our spirit, we are what we are by the grace of God, and our life, living, and work are all by the grace of God. Amen!

We have received an unshakable kingdom and now we have grace, through grace we may serve God well-pleasingly with piety and fear.

Our boasting is the testimony of our conscience, that in singleness and sincerity of God – not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God – we are conducting ourselves in the world and more abundantly toward the saints.

Our living should be a living of grace, and our visitation of the saints and fellowship with them should be for them to have double grace. Amen!

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Spirit of grace, is with our spirit; our spirit has been regenerated to be the dwelling place and vessel of the Triune God (see Heb. 10:29b; Gal. 6:18; Phil. 4:23; Philem. 25; 2 Tim. 4:22; cf. 1:6-7).

The Spirit of grace is with our spirit, and the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ is with our spirit; this means that Christ as the Spirit is with our spirit.

May we fan into flame the gift of God which is in us, for God didn’t give us a spirit of cowardice but of power and of love and of sober-mindedness. Amen!

Whenever we believers in Christ 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 (Heb. 4:16; Gen. 28:12-17; John 1:51; Eph. 2:22).

We today have boldness to come foward to the throne of grace in our spirit to receive mercy and find grace.

Christ as the heavenly ladder has been set up in our spirit, and when we exercise our spirit, we touch heavens, for Christ as the heavenly ladder brings God into us and us into God! Praise the Lord!

When we turn to our spirit and exercise our spirit, we live a heavenly life on earth, we have a heavenly atmosphere, and we become God’s building, for we are built together into a dwelling place of God in spirit.

Hallelujah, there is a ladder set up in our spirit, bringing heaven to earth and joining earth to heaven! God became man so that man may become God by enjoying Christ as the heavenly ladder in his mingled spirit!

This is what God wants, to build up His church, His dwelling place, by us having a total living of grace, a total living of experiencing the Triune God as grace in our daily living. Grace is with all those who love the Lord Jesus in incorruptibility (Eph. 6:24).

When we tell the Lord Jesus that we love Him, grace is with us. When we love the Lord, we enjoy Him as grace.

May we come to the Lord to be purified, cleansed, and purged from any incorruption, and may we enjoy Him as grace with our spirit. Humility saves us from all kinds of destruction and invites God’s grace (1 Pet. 5:5-6; James 4:6).

May we gird ourselves with humility toward one another, because God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble.

May we be humbled under the mighty hand of God so that, in due time, He may exalt us, for He gives greater grace to those who are humbled under His mighty hand.

May we enjoy the word of His grace and commit ourselves to God and to the word of His grace (Acts 20:32; Jer. 15:16).

This word is able to build us up and give us the inheritance among all those who have been sanctified.

Day by day we need to find the Lord’s words and eat them, for His words of grace are the gladness and joy of our heart, for we’re called by His name. Hallelujah!

Our living is a total living of grace, a total living of experiencing the Triune God as grace. May we experience the Spirit of grace and of supplications to bring us into the enjoyment of the Triune God (Zech. 12:10).

Wow, the Spirit of grace is with our spirit, and when we experience this Spirit of grace and of supplications, we are brought into the enjoyment of the Triune God.

He prays in us, through us, for us, and with us; we are mingled with Him, He is mingled with us, and we have one life and one living.

As new covenant ministers, we enjoy Christ as our all-sufficient grace through sufferings. The ministry of the new covenant is produced by revelation plus suffering (see 2 Cor. 12:7; 1:3-4, 8-10).

On the one hand, we receive a revelation of the Triune God, the economy of God, and the church; on the other hand, the sufferings work this revelation into our being so that our very being becomes the ministry.

Just as a vessel is painted and then put in the oven so that the painting becomes part of the vessel, so the divine revelation of God’s economy is wrought into us through many sufferings. Amen!

Christ as grace becomes power tabernacling over us, the ministers of the new covenant, overshadowing us in our weakness to become our dwelling place to sustain us, support us, maintain us, protect us, and keep us (2 Cor. 12:9). Amen!

We all need the grace of God in Christ applied to us as the strength and power for ou rmove and our protection (Ezek. 1:6b, 9a; Exo. 19:4; Isa. 40:31; 2 Cor. 4:7; 1:12; 12:9; 1 Cor. 15:10; Psa. 17:8; 57:1; 63:7; 91:4).

Amen, how much we need the grace of God in Christ applied to us day by day so that our living may be a total living of grace, the experience of the Triune God as grace!

May we enjoy the abundance of grace day by day so that we may reign in life in all our situations (Rom. 5:17). May our total living be a living of grace, a total living of experiencing the Triune God as grace.

Hallelujah, the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ is with our spirit! Amen, Lord, thank You for being the Spirit of grace with our spirit. Thank You for regenerating our spirit to make it the dwelling place of God and the vessel of the Triune God. We turn to our spirit. We come forward with boldness to touch the throne of grace in heaven through Christ as the heavenly ladder set up in our mingled spirit! Hallelujah, our spirit is the gate of heaven, and grace is with our spirit! Lord, we want to have a total living of grace, that is, to have a total living of experiencing the Triune God as grace. Praise the Lord, grace is with all those who love the Lord Jesus Christ in incorruptibility! Amen, Lord, we love You! We humble ourselves before You and we’re willing to be humbled under the mighty hand of God so that we may receive grace, even enjoy greater grace. We come to You in Your word to enjoy the word of Your grace; we commit ourselves to God and to the word of His grace. Amen, Lord Jesus, may we experience the Spirit of grace and of supplications so that we may be brought into the enjoyment of the Triune God! We want to enjoy Christ as our all-sufficient grace even through sufferings so that we may have the ministry of the new covenant. Amen, Lord, we need the grace of God in Christ applied to us as the strength and power for our move and our protection! May our living be a living of grace. May our daily Christian experience be an experience of grace!

Enjoy Grace upon Grace, Minister Grace, and become the Product of Grace in God’s Economy: the Body of Christ Consummating in the New Jerusalem!

The whole New Testament speaks of grace being God in Christ being enjoyed by us, and of us as believers in Christ having the living of grace, even a total living of experiencing the Triune God as grace.

We begin the Christian life by grace, we stand in grace, we live by grace, we labor in grace, our living is a living of grace, and it is not us but the grace of God who does everything in us.

Twenty-four hours a day, whether we sleep or we are awake, we take the Triune God as our life and person.

When He moves, we move, and when He wants us to speak something, we speak. We are mingled with Him, we are one with Him, and we live one spirit with Him.

His Spirit and our spirit have become one spirit – one mingled spirit. His life is mingled with our life, His nature is mingled with our nature, and our living is a total living of experiencing the Triune God as grace.

Our living is not according to right and wrong, good or evil, or any law or ordinance; it is a living of grace, even a total living of grace in God’s economy.

Our living needs to be the mutual living of the processed Triune God and us joined together; we take Him as our life and person, and He takes us as His living and expression.

He initiates and we follow; He speaks and we speak; He and we live and move together, in oneness. May we have such a living today.

When our living is a living of grace, the total living of experiencing the Triune God as grace, we will be good stewards of the varied grace of God (1 Pet. 4:10; Eph. 3:2).

We enjoy God as grace and we minister the Triune God as grace to others also. Our very words will convey grace to the hearers (Luke 4:22; Eph. 4:29; Isa. 50:4).

May words of grace proceed out of our mouth; may no corrupt word come of our mouth but only that which is good for building up, according to the need, so that it may give grace to thsoe who hear.

When our living is a living of grace, when we enjoy the processed Triune God as grace day by day, we will overflow with grace toward others, and our speaking will be full of grace. We need to enjoy the grace of life in the church life to keep ourselves in the genuine oneness (Psa. 133).

When we enjoy the descending dew, the grace of life, we enjoy genuine oneness in the church life, and the Lord’s blessing is upon us.

Our enjoyment of Christ as grace keeps us in oneness. In the church life, when we have grace upon us, the church will be built up, and the grace that we receive will be visible (Acts 4:33; 11:23).

As we enjoy the Lord as grace day by day, we will exhibit the grace among us, and others will see the grace of God. Amen!

The product of grace in God’s economy in God’s economy is the Body of Christ – the poem of God, expressing God’s infinite wisdom and divine design (Eph. 2:10, 7; 2 Cor. 5:17).

In Christ we are God’s masterpiece, and He will display in the ages to come the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. Hallelujah!

Today, we are the Body of Christ, the product of grace in God’s economy, and we express God’s infinite wisdom and divine design as we enjoy Christ as grace and have the living of grace.

The grace of the Lord Jesus dispensed to His believers throughout the New Testament age consummates in the New Jerusalem (Rev. 22:21; cf. 21:23; 22:1-2).

In the New Jerusalem, the processed and consummated Triune God will be the grace enjoyed by all the believers for eternity. Praise the Lord!

The entire Bible consummates with Rev. 22:21, The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all the saints! May we have a daily living of grace, with grace, by grace, and full of grace!

Lord Jesus, thank You for coming into us as the Spirit to mingle Yourself with us and be one spirit with us. We exercise our spirit to reign in life today. Fill us with grace. We want to be one spirit with You in all things. May we be good stewards of the varied grace of God, ministering grace to others by our speaking and by our living. Oh Lord, may grace flow through us to convey grace to those who hear! Keep us enjoying the grace of life in the church life so that we may remain in the genuine oneness! May grace be upon us so that the church may be built up in love. Oh Lord Jesus, may our daily living be a total living of enjoying the processed Triune God as grace so that, when we meet, the grace we receive will be visible! Hallelujah, the product of grace in God’s economy is the Body of Christ as the poem of God! Praise the Lord, we are the masterpiece of God, expressing God’s infinite wisdom and divine design! Amen, Lord, keep us enjoying You as grace until we become the New Jerusalem, where we enjoy grace for all eternity! Praise the Lord!
