Bountifully Supplied to Exist, Live, & Magnify Christ

In New Jerusalem the river of water of life flows from the throne and brings the tree of life. The river and the tree are our life supply to live and glorify God for eternity. Today is the same—the Triune God is our life and flows to us as our life supply. This flow is seen in 2 Corinthians 13:14.

Through the entering in [to the Triune God] we have the [divine] constitution, and in the constitution we have the triune existence. Our spiritual existence is totally dependent upon the Triune God. Second Corinthians 13:14 says, “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.” Such a “benediction” not only bears a sense of enjoyment but also denotes the way that we Christians are existing today. We are existing by the grace of Christ, by the love of God, and by the fellowship, the flow, of the Spirit.*

In Philippians 1:19 this grace, love, and fellowship is called “the bountiful supply of the Spirit.” By receiving this supply and living because of it we magnify Christ (v. 20). In New Jerusalem we will receive the same but in greater measure and by it there will be a much greater magnification of the Triune God.
