IN REGENERATION CHRIST DISPENSING HIMSELF
AS THE SPIRIT OF THE DIVINE LIFE
INTO OUR SPIRIT AS THE INITIATION OF
THE DIVINE DISPENSING OF THE DIVINE TRINITY,
MAKING US THE BRANCHES OF HIM AS THE TRUE VINE

In regeneration Christ dispenses Himself into our spirit (John 3:5-6). This is the initiation of the divine dispensing, making us branches of Christ as the true vine. We were wild olive branches (Rom. 11:17), but now we have become the branches of the cultivated vine (John 15:1, 5). As the branches of the resurrected Christ, we live with Him, grow with Him, and work with Him. This is the result of regeneration.

IN THE CHRISTIAN LIFE CHRIST AS THE LIVING WATER
WATERING THE BELIEVERS,
AS THE LIVING BREAD FEEDING THE BELIEVERS,
AND AS THE CONSUMMATION OF
THE PROCESSED TRIUNE GOD FLOWING
FROM THE INWARD PARTS OF THE BELIEVERS

As the consummated Spirit of the divine life, Christ is the living water (John 4:10, 14). He is now watering the believers with Himself. As the living bread, which is the real manna from heaven, He is feeding the believers (John 6:49-51, 63). Furthermore, as the consummation of the processed Triune God, that is, as the consummated, all- inclusive, compound Spirit, He is flowing from the inward parts of the believers (John 7:38-39). In the Christian life, from the day we are regenerated, He waters us, feeds us, and flows out from within us every day. This is the process of dispensing. Watering is a dispensing, feeding is a dispensing, and flowing also is a dispensing.

IN THE GOSPEL AND THE WORK
THE DIVINE DISPENSING OF THE DIVINE TRINITY
BEING THE SUPPLY TO THE BELIEVERS

In Fruit-bearing

This divine dispensing of the Divine Trinity becomes the supply to the believers in the gospel and the work. The first item of the gospel work is fruit-bearing, that we may dispense the riches of the divine life to others. To bear fruit is to preach the gospel by dispensing the riches of Christ into others (John 15:4-5, 16).
