The divine life we have received through regeneration is very real and practical. In the first Epistle of John we see that life was manifested and we have seen and testify and report concerning it (1 John 1:1-3).

Giving Life to the Sinning Brother by Asking the Lord in the Fellowship of Life
Experiencing the God of Resurrection and Having the Mending Ministry of Life
