Weekly Pursuit – Week 1 of February
Verses:
Rom. 8:29 “…Those whom He foreknew, He also predestinated to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the Firstborn among many brothers.”
Excerpts:
The center, the centrality, of the new covenant is the inner law of life. In its essence, this law refers to the divine life, and the divine life is nothing less than the life- giving Spirit, the all-inclusive Christ, and the processed and consummated God. These three are one. This is the center, the content, and the reality of the new covenant.
The central line of the divine revelation is to unveil God’s economy with His dispensing. God’s dispensing is simply to put Himself into us as the inner law of life. On the one hand, we have the divine life, which is the Triune God. On the other hand, we have the divine capacity. By this capacity we have the ability not only to know God but also to live God and even to be constituted with God. What a capacity! Furthermore, this capacity can constitute us to be the members of the Body of Christ, including all kinds of functions: those of apostles, prophets, evangelists, and shepherds and teachers—the joints of the rich supply—and those of every part of the Body that functions in its measure. In essence the inner law of life is God in Christ as the Spirit, and in function this law has the capacity to constitute us with God and to constitute us the members of the Body of Christ with all kinds of functions, all kinds of abilities. I am happy, and even excited, to see this law operating in the saints in the Lord’s recovery. Hallelujah for this wonderful law of life! (Life-study of Jeremiah, msg. 26)
