Section 10

Eve, as the wife of Adam, was God's building, and that building was the enlargement of Adam. Adam was a figure and type of God becoming a man, and Eve was a figure and type of God's building. Since this building was a part of Adam, it was undoubtedly his enlargement and expan sion.

We need to read the Bible carefully. In Gene sis 1 God was alone. At the end of the book of Revelation, God is in the center of the holy city, New Jerusalem, which is His enlargement. In the beginning we find God Himself without any ex pansion or enlargement. However, throughout the ages and generations God has been working Himself into His chosen people. Eventually, we all will become His building, a building which is the enlargement of God Himself. Hence, this building will become God's expansion, and this expansion will express God in a corporate way. This is God's building. Building is not simply that I depend on you, that you depend on me, and that the brothers and sisters depend on one another. That is not an adequate understanding of building. The proper building is the enlarge ment of God, the expansion of the Triune God, enabling God to express Himself in a corporate way. This is exactly the revelation of the Gospel

of John. The Gospel of John reveals that the Tri une God is dispensing Himself into His believers and that all His believers, as a result of the trans fusion and infusion of the Triune God into them, become His enlargement. This enlargement of the Triune God is the expansion, the building, and the expression of God. This is the revelation of the Gospel of John. Thus, when we speak of the building of God, we mean that the Triune God as life is being wrought into us continually and that under His transfusion and infusion we are becoming His one expression. This expres sion is His enlargement and expansion. May this thought be written on our heart.
