A Poor Tree with Better Grafted
Let's Pray:
Lord, be one spirit with us, that we would see this organic union. Release the riches in Your word in a most definite way that all of us would be supplied!
Hymn: 482
This the secret nature hideth,
Harvest grows from buried grain;
A poor tree with better grafted,
Richer, sweeter life doth gain.
Oh! It is so sweet to die with Christ,
To the world, and self, and sin;
Oh! It is so sweet to live with Christ,
As He lives and reigns within.
Today's Verses and Footnotes: Rom 16:17-27
Key Verses:
Rom 12:2 And do not be fashioned according to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of the mind …
Rom 11:17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them and became a fellow partaker of the root of fatness of the olive tree,
2 Cor 3:18 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..
Life Supply:
Suppose that a person has a very pale complexion and that someone else, wishing to change his colorless complexion, applies some coloring to his skin. This, no doubt, produces an outward change, but it is not an organic change, a change in life. How then can a person truly have a colorful face? By daily absorbing into his body healthy food with the necessary organic elements. Because your body is a living organism, when an organic substance enters into it a chemical compound is formed organically by the process of metabolism. Gradually this inward process will change the coloration of your face. This change is not outward; it is a change from within, a change resulting from the process of metabolism. According to the Bible, this metabolic change is termed transformation. In the process of transformation the life of Christ is added to our being. When His life, which is organic and filled with vitamins, permeates our being, a spiritual, chemical compound is formed. This changes our constitution both in nature and in form. This is transformation. It is not outward correction or external adjustment. It is absolutely an inward metabolic change in our organic element, a change in life and with life by the Lord Spirit (2 Cor. 3:18). In the process of transformation the divine element is wrought into us. If we keep in mind this proper understanding of transformation as we approach Romans 12 through 16, we shall realize that this portion of the Word is altogether different from what our natural concept would lead us to believe it is.
The will mentioned in 12:2 is to have the church life. The house that you purchase, the job that you have, and the person that you marry should all depend on the church life. Even the clothes that you wear should depend on the church life. If you are right with the church life, you will know what you must do. Everything must be for the church life, for to have the church life is the unique will of God. This is good, well-pleasing, and perfect. And this is for the Body life. The presenting of our bodies, the transforming of our souls, and the renewing of our minds are all for the Body life. (Life-Study of Romans, pp.293-294, 302)
Questions:
1. What is transformation? (See Rom. 12:2 note 3)
2. How do we experience transformation? (See Rom. 12:2 note 4)
3. How should we respond to the compassions of God? (See Rom. 12:1 note 3, note 4)

Being Transformed by the Renewing of the Mind

Lord, we thank You that we are enjoying the riches of Christ that transforms us metabolically so that by this metabolism we can participate in God's divinity to the fullest!

We Have Become the Branches of the True Vine

Hymn: 482

Key Verse:

Filling the Blanks:
Grafting produces an organic ( ) (see note 51 in ch. 6). It is not the exchanging of a poor life for a better life.

The Dispensing of the Divine Life
Let's Pray:
Lord, we worship You. We look to You as the wonderful One to open up Your mysterious word to us. Lead us into Yourself. May we learn to experience You and Your dispensing!
Hymn: 949
Christ is the hope of glory, my very life is He,
He has regenerated and saturated me;
He comes to change my body by His subduing might
Like to His glorious body in glory bright!
He comes, He comes, Christ comes to glorify me!
My body He'll transfigure, like His own it then will be.
He comes, He comes, redemption to apply!
As Hope of glory He will come, His saints to glorify.
Today's Verses and Footnotes: Rom 10:4-21
Key Verses:
Rom 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life has freed me in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and of death.
Rom 8:10 …the spirit is life because of righteousness.
Rom 8:6 …but the mind set on the spirit is life and peace.
Rom 8:11 …He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who indwells you.
Life Supply:
Rom 8:11 says, “But if the Spirit of Him Who raised Jesus from among the dead dwells in you, He Who raised Christ Jesus from among the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit Who indwells you.” The Spirit in this verse is the Spirit of resurrection. We have seen that our spirit is life (v. 10) and that our mind also is life (v. 6). Now we come to the last item of our being, our mortal body. Our body is dying. However, life is given even to our dying mortal body. Our body can participate in this life, be sustained with this life, and be supplied with this life through His Spirit who indwells us. Undoubtedly, the indwelling Spirit is the resurrected Christ (1 Cor. 15:45; 2 Cor. 3:17). Christ as the indwelling Spirit constantly imparts life to every aspect of our being.
An excellent illustration of this is electricity. Although electricity has been installed into a building, its flow can be frustrated. Christ, the life-giving Spirit, has been installed into our being as the heavenly electricity. However, only a small part of our being gives Him a free course; most of our being is not open to Him, but rather frustrates Him. For example, your emotions may be a frustration to Christ. Therefore, Christ has difficulty imparting Himself as life into your emotions. You need to pray, “Lord, deal with my emotions. Break through my emotions that You may impart Yourself as life into them.” We need this kind of experience. Do not take this as a doctrine or teaching. This must be put into practice. If you practice this, you will find that Christ as life is now in your spirit, waiting for an opportunity to spread Himself into every area and avenue of your being. He is waiting to penetrate the hidden parts of your being. If you open yourself to Him, He will even impart Himself as life into your mortal body, making you a person who is filled with all the riches of His life.
We need to say, “Hallelujah! I am not a debtor to the flesh. I don’t owe it anything. I am not obliged to it. I am discharged from it and freed from it. I have been fully liberated from this hopeless thing called the flesh. I am not a debtor to the flesh to live according to it any longer.” (Life-Study of Romans, pp.198-200)
Questions:
1. Please explain the divine dispensing of the Divine Trinity. (See Rom. 8:2 note 3; 8:10, 6, 11)
2. How do we grow together with Christ? (See Rom. 6:5 note 1)
3. Who are the "vessels of mercy, which He had before prepared unto glory"? (See Rom. 9:21 note 1, 8:23-24)
