五、产生教会－建造出夏娃
亚当从沉睡中醒来，立即看见用他肋骨建造的夏娃在他面前。照样，当基督从死人中复活（林前十五20），教会也藉着祂神圣的生命产生了。藉着祂的死，祂里面神圣的生命得以释放出来；藉着祂的复活，这释放出来的神圣生命得以分赐到我们信祂的人里面。所以圣经说，藉耶稣基督从死人中复活，重生了我们（彼前一3）。祂是那落在地里，又结出许多子粒的麦子（约十二24）。我们就是那许多子粒，藉祂复活的生命所重生。因着我们是重生的人，有祂作生命，并凭祂而活，我们就构成了祂的教会，就是在复活中的真夏娃。
当亚当看见夏娃，就说，“这次是我骨中的骨，我肉中的肉”（创二23）。当基督看见教会，祂也许曾这样说，“这是我骨中的骨，我肉中的肉，因为教会是藉着我的死与复活产生的。教会出自于我，教会和我能成为一。”
教会是甚么？教会是基督的一部分，一点不差就是基督自己。教会不是美国人、墨西哥人、日本人、中国人的组合。教会是所有信徒里面基督的总和。只有出于基督的才能得到基督认可，只有出于基督的才能归给祂，与祂相配。只有出于基督复活生命的才能作祂的补满和配偶，就是基督的身体。
六、与人成为一－亚当与夏娃成为一体
在豫表上，亚当与夏娃成为一体（创二23-24）。在实际上，基督与教会是一灵，因为那与主联合的，便是与主成为一灵（林前六17）。丈夫与妻子婚姻的联合乃“极大的奥秘，…是指着基督与教会说的”（弗五29-32）。如果我们有这样的异象，就会明白雅歌：基督是我们的良人，我们是祂的佳偶。我们不是仅等候将来，我们今天就在过团体的婚姻生活。

The Process by Which God Accomplishes His Purpose (3) – Gen. 2:24
5. Producing the Church – Building Eve
When Adam awoke from his deep sleep, he immediately saw Eve — the one built from his rib — standing before him. In the same way, when Christ rose from the dead (1 Cor. 15:20), the church was produced through His divine life. Through His death, His divine life was released; and through His resurrection, that released divine life was dispensed into those who believe in Him. Therefore, the Bible says that we have been regenerated through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead (1 Peter 1:3). He is the grain of wheat that fell into the earth and bore many grains (John 12:24). We are the many grains, regenerated by His resurrection life. Since we are regenerated ones, having Him as our life and living by Him, we constitute His church — the true Eve in resurrection.
When Adam saw Eve, he said, “This time this is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh” (Gen. 2:23). Likewise, when Christ sees the church, He might also say, “This is bone of My bones and flesh of My flesh, for the church was produced through My death and resurrection. The church came out of Me and can become one with Me.”
What is the church? The church is a part of Christ — nothing less than Christ Himself. The church is not a mixture of Americans, Mexicans, Japanese or Chinese. The church is the sum of Christ within all believers. Only what comes out of Christ is acknowledged by Christ. Only what comes out of Christ can return to Him and match Him. Only what is produced from the resurrection life of Christ can become His counterpart and complement — His Body.
6. Becoming One with Man – Adam and Eve Became One Flesh
In type, Adam and Eve became one flesh (Gen. 2:23–24). In reality, Christ and the church are one spirit, for “he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit” (1 Cor. 6:17). The union of husband and wife in marriage is “a great mystery… but I speak with regard to Christ and the church” (Eph. 5:29–32). If we have this vision, we will understand the Song of Songs: Christ is our Beloved, and we are His counterpart. We are not just waiting for the future —we are already living in a corporate marriage life today.
