Christ is the threefold seed in humanity for dispensing God into man, destroying Satan and saving the believers from sin and death, the blessing, and for bringing man into sharing His kingship in resurrection; He is both the seed of the woman and the seed of Abraham and the seed of David.

God wants to Work Christ into us: He is the Seed of the Woman who Destroys Satan
God’s plan according to His good pleasure is to work Himself in Christ into us, but the most evil thing is to distract people from Christ; we need to see Christ as the seed of the woman – the incarnated Christ who came to destroy Satan and save us from sin and death. Oh, what […]

The Center of Paul’s Gospel – Romans chapter 8, God’s dispensing, and the sonship
The center of Paul’s gospel is Romans chapter 8. Here he unveils the dispensing of the Triune God as life into the tripartite man. This is the focus of God’s economy: God coming into us to be our life so that we may be His corporate expression. This is experiential. The law of the Spirit of life (v. 2) is the Triune God operating in us. He first makes our spirit life (v. 10) then spreads to make our mind life (v. 6), then to impart life to our mortal body (v. 11) and to enable us to put to death all our natural living (v. 13). By this spreading of life within, we mature from children (v. 16) to sons (read more in 8:14, note 3). The goal of this expanding dispensation is our conformation to the image of God’s firstborn Son (v. 29). Lord, daily spread Yourself in our entire being until we fully express You.
