林後三17~18『而且主就是那靈；主的靈在那裏，那裏就有自由。但我們眾人旣然以沒有帕子遮蔽的臉，好像
鏡子觀看並返照主的榮光，就漸漸變化成爲與祂同樣的形像，從榮耀到榮耀，乃是從主靈變化
成的。』
林前十五45『…末後的亞當成了賜生命的靈。』
究竟是誰活在我們裏面？乃是那靈。那靈是誰？就是主，也就是父。照新約所說，父、子、靈都在我們裏面。我們裏面有三個人位麼？我們不能回答得太急促。以弗所四章六節說，父在我們裏面。歌羅西一章二十七節說，基督在我們裏面。羅馬八章九節告訴我們，神的靈住在我們裏面。到底有幾位在我們裏面？這是一個奧祕。我們有了那靈，就有了子；我們有了子，就有了父。因着有那靈，我們就有父也有子。我們有了一，就有了三！祂們不能分開。阿利路亞，主的靈乃是奇妙的靈！（保羅的完成職事，七三頁）
信息選讀
羅馬八章二節題到『生命之靈』，這個辭不容易說明。生命本身是很不容易用言語來說明的，但生命很容易辨認。你看一個人，立刻就知道他是活的。倘若你到殯儀館去，明顯就能看見，一個死人是沒有生命的。你不需要大聲宣告你是活的，或者想要說服別人相信你有生命。別人甚至不用看你，就知道你是活的。照樣，人死了，生命就沒有了，這也是顯而易見的。
你有了生命之靈，你就是活的，你就顯出了生命的徵兆！這指明你有神、有基督，二者都是生命。那靈乃是生命之靈。『末後的亞當成了賜生命的靈。』（林前十五45 下）那靈不僅是生命之靈，也是分賜生命者。祂賜人生命！
〔約翰七章三十九節的『那靈』〕這個辭很短，卻是最大的一個辭。〔這節說，〕『耶穌這話是指着信入祂的人將要受的那靈說的；那時還沒有那靈，因爲耶穌尚未得着榮耀。』
『那時還沒有那靈』，這說法很奇怪！新舊約聖經曾多次題到神的靈，那靈究竟是甚麼意思？因爲那時耶穌還沒有經過死、復活與得榮耀，所以還沒有耶穌基督的靈，就是那包羅萬有、複合、賜生命的靈。今天我們已經有了那靈！我們藉着信，已經接受了所應許的那靈（加三14）。
『那靈自己同我們的靈見證我們是神的兒女。』（羅八16）旣然那靈藉着重生已經在我們的靈裏，祂便同我們的靈見證我們是神的兒女。我們裏面這二靈彼此呼應，一同見證我們是神的兒女。
現今的那靈，就是三一神帶着屬人的性情、人性生活、基督包羅萬有的死並祂的復活。林前六章十七節說，『但與主聯合的，便是與主成爲一靈。』我們的靈已經與這靈調和爲一。
你也許渴望行在神的同在裏。你可能讀過勞倫斯弟兄《與神同在》那本小冊子。但是你知不知道，活在神的同在裏是舊約的觀念？亞伯拉罕在神的同在裏行走。然而不管你和神行走得多近，多麼敬畏祂，一心求祂的喜悅，你和祂還是彼此分開的。新約沒有勸我們操練與神同在，而是說，『與主聯合的，便是與主成爲一靈！』我們與主成爲一靈。亞伯拉罕沒有經歷這件事。神不在亞伯拉罕裏面，亞伯拉罕也不在神裏面。亞伯拉罕頂多只能在神的同在裏行走（保羅的完成職事，七四至七六頁）。

2 Cor. 3:17-18 "And the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. But
we all with unveiled face, beholding and reflecting like a mirror the glory of the
Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from
the Lord Spirit."
1 Cor. 15:45 "...The last Adam became a life-giving Spirit."
Who is it that lives in us? It is the Spirit. Who is the Spirit? He is the Lord.He is also the Father. According to the New Testament, the Father, the Son,and the Spirit are all in us. Do we have three persons within? We cannot answer too hastily. Ephesians 4:6 says that the Father is in us. Colossians 1:27 says that Christ is in us. Romans 8:9 tells us that the Spirit of God dwells in us. How many are in us? This is a mystery. When we have the Spirit, we have the Son. When we have the Son, we have the Father. With the Spirit we have both the Father and the Son. When we have one, we have all three! They cannot be separated. The Spirit of the Lord is a wonderful Spirit! (The
Completing Ministry of Paul, pp. 52-53)
Today's Reading
The Spirit of life is mentioned in Romans 8:2. This term is not easy to define. Life itself cannot easily be defined in words, but it is easily identified. When you look at someone, you can tell immediately that he is alive. If you go to a mortuary, it is plain to see that a dead person has no life. You do not need to declare that you are living or try to persuade others that you have life. They can tell even without a glance that you are alive. By the same token, it is immediately apparent when someone is dead: the life has gone.
When you have the Spirit of life, you are living. You show signs of life! This indicates that you have God and Christ, who are life. The Spirit is the Spirit of life. “The last Adam became a life-giving Spirit" (1 Cor. 15:45b). This Spirit is not only the Spirit of life; He is also the One who imparts life. He is life-giving!
[In John 7:39 the Spirit] is a short term, but it is the greatest one! [This verse says],"This He said concerning the Spirit, whom those who believed into Him were about to receive; for the Spirit was not yet, because Jesus had not yet been glorified."
How strange to say"the Spirit was not yet"! The Spirit of God had already been mentioned in both the Old and New Testaments many times. What is meant by the Spirit? Because Jesus had yet to pass through death and resurrection and be glorified, the Spirit of Jesus Christ—the all-inclusive,
compound, life-giving Spirit—was not yet. Today we have this Spirit! We have received the promise of the Spirit through faith (Gal. 3:14).
“The Spirit Himself witnesses with our spirit that we are children of God" (Rom. 8:16). Now that the Spirit is within our spirit through regeneration, He witnesses with our spirit, testifying that we are the children of God. These two spirits within us correspond to each other, together confirming that we are God's children.
The Spirit today is the Triune God with human nature, human living, Christ's all-inclusive death, and also His resurrection. First Corinthians 6:17 says,"He who is joined to the Lord is one spirit." Our spirit is mingled as one with this Spirit.
Your aspiration may be to walk in the presence of God. You may have read Brother Lawrence's booklet,"The Practice of the Presence of God." Do you realize that to be in God's presence is an Old Testament concept? Abraham walked in God's presence. However close to God you walk, however much you fear Him and seek to please Him, you and He are still separate from each other. The New Testament does not exhort us to practice God's presence. It says,"He who is joined to the Lord is one spirit"! We are one spirit with the Lord. Abraham did not experience this. God was not in Abraham, nor was Abraham in God. At best, Abraham could walk in His presence. (The Completing Ministry of Paul, pp. 53-54)
