1 Cor. 15:45 So also it is written, “The first man, Adam, became a living soul”; the last Adam became a life-giving Spirit.
If we are going to cooperate with the Lord to carry out His move in His economy, we must know this age; to know this age is to know the age of today’s Christianity in a particular way, especially in relation to the revelation of the Scriptures, the divine truths, and the genuine and proper theology:
Not one of today’s theologies, including the Nicene Creed, stresses adequately the following five critical points concerning the Spirit of God in the move of God’s eternal economy:
- The Spirit that gives life was not yet before the glorification (resurrection) of Christ (John 7:37-39).
- The last Adam (Christ in the flesh) became a life-giving Spirit (fulfilling John 7:39)—1 Corinthians 15:45b; hence, 2 Corinthians 3:17 says that “the Lord is the Spirit,” and the following verse uses the Lord Spirit as a compound divine title.
- The compound Spirit is typified by the anointing ointment (a compound of one hin of olive oil with four kinds of spices and their effectiveness) in Exodus 30:23-25.
- The Spirit of life, the Spirit of God, the Spirit of Christ, Christ Himself, and the indwelling Spirit in Romans 8:2, 9-11, all refer to the compound Spirit that gives life.
- The Spirit of God in the move of God’s eternal economy is the seven Spirits (the sevenfold intensified Spirit, cf. the sevenfold sunlight—Isaiah 30:26 of God (Revelation 1:4; 3:1; 4:5; 5:6).
