為甚麼基督徒是富有的？
因為基督徒需要服事眾人，所以，在基督裏，天父讓我們成為富有的。
因為基督徒是富有的，所以，我們可以白白地、豐富地供應給人。
基督徒豐富地擁有（富有）基督一切，就是：基督的智慧、公義、聖潔、救贖（林前1:30），這種富有，不是指金錢上的富有。
因著信心，基督徒的靈魂與基督連合，如同新娘與新郎連合一般。就如使徒保羅所教導的：
「
這個奧秘就是基督徒的靈魂與基督成為一體。
這又意謂著：
「因為既然基督成為教會的新郎，祂就要把教會新娘所有的取來，歸給自己。祂又必然把自己所有的贈與教會新娘。基督既然把自己的身體和整個自我都交給了新娘，祂怎麼不把自己所有的一切都交給她呢？祂既然接受了新娘的身體，作教會的頭，祂又怎麼不接受她一切所有呢？
新娘和新郎共享一切。
凡基督所有的一切，都屬於我們。基督滿是恩典、生命、和拯救；現在，這些都歸基督徒所有。
凡我們所有的一切，都屬於基督。靈魂滿是罪惡、死亡、和詛咒；現在，這些都歸基督所有。」
【編輯註解：基督徒豐富地擁有（富有）基督一切，就是：
誰能領悟基督徒的富有和榮耀呢？
它能做成一切（
但可惜得很，在今天，整個世上，這種生命已經不為人知。既無人宣講，也無人追求。
基督徒完全不知道自己的名份。我們不知道自己為甚麼是基督徒，不知道為甚麼背負基督徒這個名稱。
我們從基督得基督徒這個名份，並不是因為基督離開我們，而是因為基督正住在我們裏面。
我們之所以是基督徒，是因為我們信祂，彼此互為基督（約翰福音13:35（
我們之所以是基督徒，是因為我們像基督待我們那樣待自己的鄰舍（
看啊！從基督徒的信心裏流出了基督裏的愛，
從愛裏又流出了喜樂、甘心自由服事的心，
從心裏自願服事他人，不計報答，不怕忘恩負義，不在乎詆毀或榮譽，得或失。
基督徒服事人，並不讓受益者負擔報答的義務。
基督徒不分敵友，不期望酬勞，只是一味地甘心地、白白地盡自己所能。
即使浪費在忘恩之人身上，基督徒也像天父「

The incomparable benefit of faith is that it unites the soul with Christ as a bride is united with her bridegroom. By this mystery, as the Apostle teaches, Christ and the soul become one flesh [Eph. 5:31–32]. And if they are one flesh and there is between them a true marriage—indeed the most perfect of all marriages, since human marriages are but poor examples of this one true marriage—it follows that everything they have they hold in common, the good as well as the evil. Accordingly the believing soul can boast of and glory in whatever Christ has as though it were its own, and whatever the soul has Christ claims as his own. Let us compare these and we shall see inestimable benefits. Christ is full of grace, life, and salvation. The soul is full of sins, death, and damnation. Now let faith come between them and sins, death, and damnation will be Christ’s, while grace, life, and salvation will be the soul’s; for if Christ is a bridegroom, he must take upon himself the things which are his bride’s and bestow upon her the things that are his. If he gives her his body and very self, how shall he not give her all that is his? And if he takes the body of the bride, how shall he not take all that is hers?(AE 31:351)
Who then can comprehend the riches and the glory of the Christian life? It can do all things and has all things and lacks nothing. It is lord over sin, death, and hell, and yet at the same time it serves, ministers to, and benefits all men. But alas in our day this life is unknown throughout the world; it is neither preached about nor sought after; we are altogether ignorant of our own name and do not know why we are Christians or bear the name of Christians. Surely we are named after Christ, not because he is absent from us, but because he dwells in us, that is, because we believe in him and are Christs one to another and do to our neighbors as Christ does to us.
Behold, from faith thus flow forth love and joy in the Lord, and from love a joyful, willing, and free mind that serves one’s neighbor willingly and takes no account of gratitude or ingratitude, of praise or blame, of gain or loss. For a man does not serve that he may put men under obligations. He does not distinguish between friends and enemies or anticipate their thankfulness or unthankfulness, but he most freely and most willingly spends himself and all that he has, whether he wastes all on the thankless or whether he gains a reward. As his Father does, distributing all things to all men richly and freely, making “his sun rise on the evil and on the good” [Matt. 5:45], so also the son does all things and suffers all things with that freely bestowing joy which is his delight when through Christ he sees it in God, the dispenser of such great benefits. (AE 31:367–368)
