I have something to share: Luke 6:43-44 For there is no good tree that produces corrupt fruit,nor again a corrupt tree that produces good fruit. For each tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not collect figs from thorns,nor do they pick grapes from a thornbush. In order to practice the principles in [Luke] 6:17-49,we need divine life. Life is the basic factor any kind of being,doing,or working. If we do not have a certain kind of life,we cannot have that kind of being;neither can we have a certain behavior or accomplish a certain work. For example,an apple tree has an apple-tree life. In order for a tree to be an apple tree,it must have the life of an apple tree. Likewise,in order for an animal to be a monkey,it must have the life of a monkey. The crucial point here is that if we would have a certain being and behave in a certain way,we must have a certain we must have a certain kind of life. Life is the basic factor of our being,behavior,and work. The Man-Savior has the kind of life described in chapter 6 of the Gospel of Luke. Before His death and resurrection He Himself live such a life. He has become the life-giving Spirit,and now He lives in us. His desire is ti live in us the same kind of life He lived on earth. In Philippians 1:21 Paul speaks of living a life that was according to the highest standard of morality. Now Christ lives in us so that we may live in Him. This highest standard of morality is now a person living in us and making it possible for us to live in Christ.
