8神圣三一的三者虽有不同,虽然有别,却不分开。子若不是与父不同,就不能像在约翰十七章那样向父祷告。然而,父与子是不能分开的,因为父与子互相内在;也就是说,子存在于父里面,父也存在于子里面。因这缘故,当腓力求主耶稣将父显给他们看时,主耶稣能对他说,『人看见了我,就是看见了父;你怎么说,将父显给我们看?我在父里面,父在我里面,你不信么?』(约十四9下~10。)这里我们看见,父与子虽有分别,却互相内在,因而不能分开。不仅如此,父与子都在灵里,灵也在父与子里。我们若看见这个,就会领悟那成为肉体,在地上行动的神,就是三一神。新约向我们揭示,子基督是三一神的具体化身,那灵是子的实化,是基督的实际。那灵既是基督的实际,我们就不能将基督和那灵分开;那灵乃是经过过程并终极完成的三一神。三一神经过过程的步骤
8The three of the Divine Trinity are different, or distinct, but they are not separate. If the Son were not different from the Father, the Son could not pray to the Father, as He did in John 17. Nevertheless, the Father and the Son are inseparable, for the Father and the Son coinhere, that is, the Son exists in the Father and the Father exists in the Son. For this reason, the Lord Jesus could say to Philip, who had asked Him to show them the Father, "He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how is it that you say, Show us the Father? Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak from Myself, but the Father who abides in Me does His works" (John 14:9b-10). Here we see that the Father and the Son, although distinct, coinhere and thus cannot be separated. Furthermore, the Father and the Son are in the Spirit, and the Spirit is in the Father and the Son. If we see this, we will realize that the God who was incarnated and moved on earth was the Triune God. The New Testament unveils to us that Christ the Son is the embodiment of the Triune God and that the Spirit is the realization of the Son and the reality of Christ. Because the Spirit is the reality of Christ, we cannot have Christ apart from the Spirit, who is the consummation of the processed and consummated Triune God.
