4     一面他在天上作大祭司为我们代求，作我们的辩护者，执行神的经纶─来七

10    神的福音乃是罗马书的主题，论到基督在他复活后，成了那灵活在信徒里面

 17 上：
29  我们的心是我们内里各部分的总和，也是我们里面之人的中心，以及有关我们
倾向、感情、喜好和愿望的代表；所以，当基督安家在我们心里，他就掌管我们里
面的全人，并用他自己供应、加强我们内里的各部分。

30  基督越多在我们里面扩展，就越多定居且安家在我们里面，占有、得著我们里
面的每一部分，并以他自己浸透各部分。
31  当基督安家在我们心里，他就成为我们，并使我们成为他─17 节上，加四 19，

32  当基督扩展到我们心里，他就成了我们的人位；基督成为我们人位惟一的路，
乃是他安家在我们心里─弗三 17 上。
33  那位正安家在我们心里的基督，乃是无限无量、无法测量的基督─18 节。

督的身体将三一神彰显到极致，就是三一神团体彰显的终极总结─19 节。

召会的内容乃是我们所接受作为我们人位的基督，就是作到我们里面的基督─17 节

THE COMPLETING MINISTRY OF PAUL - 2013 Memorial Day Conference
Message Three -The Indwelling Christ
Scripture Reading: John 14:16-18, 20; Rom. 8:10; 2 Cor. 4:7; Col. 1:27; 
Eph. 3:17a  Outline

1.  The most precious result of our faith in Christ is that we receive Him 
into us─John 1:12-13; 3:15; Rom. 8:10; 2 Cor. 13:5; Col. 1:27:
2.  Although this is the pure and unadulterated yet mystical truth, it has 
been neglected by most Christians.

3.  Christ has ascended to heaven, but He is also dwelling in us─3:1; 1:27:
4.   On the one hand, He is in heaven interceding for us as our great High 
Priest, our Advocate, to carry out God’s economy─Heb. 7:25-26; 1 John 2:1; 
Rom. 8:34.
5.   On the other hand, He is the all-inclusive Christ dwelling in us─v. 10.

6. Christ dwells in the believers as the life-giving Spirit in resurrection─
John 14:16-18, 20; 1 Cor. 15:45b:
7.  The Christ who was the Comforter outside the disciples while He was 
on earth has become, through His death and resurrection, another Comforter, 
the Spirit of reality, inside the disciples─John 14:16-18, 20.

8.  Christ’s resurrection was His transfiguration into the life-giving Spirit 
in order to enter into the believers─1 Cor. 15:45b; John 14:17.
9.  As  another  Comforter,  the  Spirit  of  reality,  inside  of  us, 
 the indwelling Christ is our life, our supply, and our person─Col. 3:4; 
Eph. 3:17a.

10.  The  gospel  of  God,  as  the  subject  of  the  book  of Romans, 
concerns Christ as the Spirit living within the believers after His resurrection─
1:3-4; 8:10:
11.  Romans reveals that Christ has resurrected and has become the life-giving 
Spirit; He is no longer merely the Christ outside of us─He is now the Christ 
within us─vv. 9-10, 34.


12.  The gospel in Romans is the gospel of the One who is now indwelling 
the believers as their subjective Savior─v. 10.
13.  The indwelling Christ is the secret of the Christian life─Col. 1:27; 
Phil. 4:12:

14.  The most crucial point in our enjoyment of Christ’s salvation is the 
indwelling Christ─2 Cor. 13:5; Phil. 1:19; 2:12-13.
15.  Christ is subjective to us; He is not only near us but also within 
us, in the depths of our being.

16.  Christ in us is the heart of the Bible and the heart of our being─
Eph. 3:17a.
17. The  indwelling  Christ  is  the  treasure  in  earthen vessels─2 Cor. 4:7:
18.  God’s shining in our hearts brings into us a treasure, the indwelling 
Christ of glory, who is the embodiment of the Triune God to be our life 
and our everything─v. 6.

19.  This treasure, the indwelling Christ, is the divine source of the supply 
for the Christian life─v. 7.
20.  If we learn to take Christ as our person by looking at the index of 
His eyes and enjoying His presence, we will have a sweet sense of the preciousness 
of the indwelling Christ─2:10; 3:18; 4:6-7.

21.  We worship the enthroned Christ in the heavens, but we experience, 
enjoy, and partake of the indwelling Christ  in  our  spirit;  we  are  
one  with  Him  in  a  very subjective way─Col. 3:1; 1:27; 1 Cor. 6:17:

22.  Christ, who dwells in our spirit, is our hope of glory; the indwelling 
Christ will saturate our entire being so that our physical body may be transfigured 
and conformed to the body of His glory─Col. 3:4; Phil. 3:21.

23.  The Christ who indwells us is not a small, limited Christ but the all-inclusive,
 extensive, preeminent Christ─Col. 1:15-16, 18-19.
24.  We  need  to  be  infused,  saturated,  and  permeated  with  the  
all-inclusive, extensive, preeminent Christ until in our experience He is 
everything to us─2:16-17; 3:4, 10-11.

25.  The indwelling Christ is our life; universally, Christ is extensive, 
but in our experience He is our life, our being─v. 4.Day 4
26.  We need to allow the peace of the indwelling Christ to arbitrate in 
our hearts; the arbitrating of the peace of Christ is Christ working within 
us to exercise His rule over us, to speak the last word, and to make the 
final decision─v. 15.

27.  We need to let the word of the indwelling Christ dwell in us richly 
so that He may exercise His headship and minister His riches to us─v. 17; 
1:18; 2:19.
28. Paul prayed that we would be strengthened into the inner man so that 
Christ may make His home in our hearts─Eph. 3:17a:

29.  Our heart is the totality of our inward parts, the center of our inward 
being, and our representative with regard to our inclination, affection, 
delight, and desire; thus, when Christ makes His home in our hearts, He 
controls our entire inward being and supplies and strengthens every inward 
part with Himself.

30.  The more Christ spreads within us, the more He settles down in us and 
makes His home in us, occupying every part of our inner being, possessing 
all these parts, and saturating them with Himself.

31.  As Christ makes His home in our hearts, He becomes us and causes us 
to become Him─v. 17a; Gal. 4:19; Phil. 1:21a.
32.  When Christ spreads into our hearts, He becomes our person; the only 
way for Christ to be our person is for Him to make His home in our hearts─
Eph. 3:17a.

33.  The Christ who is making His home in our hearts is an unlimited, immeasurable 
Christ─v. 18.
34.  When Christ makes His home in our hearts, we will be filled unto all 
the fullness of God; the fullness of God is the Body of Christ as the expression 
of the Triune God to the uttermost, the ultimate consummation of the corporate 
expression of the Triune God─v. 19.

35.  The  genuine  church  life  is  the  issue  of  the  unlimited  and 
immeasurable Christ personally making His home in our hearts; the content 
of the church is the Christ whom we take as our person, the Christ who is 
wrought into our being─v. 17a; 4:16.
