knowledge, doctrine, teaching, and theology. Be cause we have been regenerated of the Spirit, we have the divine life, the divine nature, and even the divine Person, God Himself, dwelling in our spirit. Now we need to exercise our spirit when ever we come to the Word. If we do this, every line, phrase, and word of the Bible will become life to us.
Because everything related to God is living, God's words must be living words, words of life. If we come to the Bible with a living spirit, spon taneously we shall enjoy the word of life. Then we shall be supplied, strengthened, quickened, enlightened, refreshed, nourished, and washed.
As we experience the word of life in this way, we should hold forth the word to others, present ing it, offering it, and applying it to them. This is to speak the word of life to those around us. By speaking the word of life, we present the word of life to others. We should be a speaking peo ple. Whenever we have opportunity, we should speak for the Lord. Preaching is not our profes sion; it is our living. We need to enter into the word of life in such a living way that we live by this word and speak it. By holding forth the word of life in this way we enjoy constant salvation.
In this booklet we have covered five aspects
of the divine and rich provision for our constant salvation: the pattern with its standard, the in ward operation of God, the children of God, the luminaries, and the word of life. If we enjoy all these aspects, we shall experience constant sal vation. The One who set up the pattern and who Himself is the pattern now operates in us as the indwelling God. Through regeneration, we have become children of God with the divine life and nature. This makes us luminaries with the func tion of reflecting Christ. Furthermore, we have the word of life, and we may enter into this word, enjoy its riches, and declare it to those around us. In this way the negative things are defeated, and we enjoy the victory of constant salvation.
