Section 18

in us. Then God the Father will be expressed through us and will be glorified in the Son. Out of this intimate, intense abiding, clusters of fruit will be produced because we have been filled with all of the Lord's riches of life. The overflow of the abundance of this life will be so prevailing that it will bear fruit, and God the Father in the Son will be expressed and glorified.

WITH FULL JOY

If we abide in the Lord and keep abiding in Him by abiding in His love so that we may bear much fruit to express the riches of His life for the glorification of the Father, we shall be filled with joy. Our joy always comes from our abid ing in the Lord, from our abiding in His love, from our fruit-bearing in His rich life, and from the expression and glorification of the Father. It is in this kind of life that we are full of joy.

We have seen the abiding in John 15. Ro mans 8 is a continuation of John 15. Without Romans 8, it would be difficult for us to main tain the abiding in the Lord continually. The way to maintain the abiding in the Lord constantly is to set our mind upon the spirit (Rom. 8:6).

To set the mind on the spirit in Romans 8 is a development of the abiding in the Lord in

John 15. If we only have John 15 without Ro mans 8, we still do not have the way to abide in the Lord continually. In Romans 8 we have Christ as the Spirit of life (Rom. 8:2) and as the indwell ing Spirit in our spirit with life. The way to keep abiding in the Lord is to have our mind, the main part of our soul, set on our spirit that we may ex perience the Lord who is the life-giving Spirit indwelling our spirit.
