14『经纶』一辞源自希腊字,奥依克诺米亚,意为家庭律法,家庭管理,家庭行政,引伸为行政的安排,计画,经纶。这个希腊字含示分赐的观念。分赐dispensing与时代dispensation不同。分赐指分授某样东西,而时代指神在特定的时代对付祂子民的方式,如基督徒一般所用的意义。今天许多基督徒谈论神的时代,却没有看见神的经纶这件重要的事。经纶是为著分赐而执行一项计画的安排。神的经纶是神的计画、神的安排,要把祂自己,祂的元素、生命、性情、属性,以及祂所完成、所达到的一切,都分赐到祂所拣选的人里面,使他们能由神圣的素质,在神圣源头的神圣元素里被构成,重新被建立,而成为神圣的。我们在接受神的分赐之前,仅仅是属人的;神用神圣的构成重新建立我们之后,我们就像主耶稣一样,在人性里带著神性,也在神性里带著人性。基督在成为肉体之前只有神性,但在成为肉体之后成了神人,就是带著神性的人。现今祂在人性里带著神性,也在神性里带著人性。我们藉基督得了重生,成为祂的一部分,因此也与祂一样,在人性里带著神性,也在神性里带著人性。重生的人在人性里带著神性,又在神性里带著人性,自然而然的成了一个生机体,就是基督的身体;基督的身体就是神的召会,神新造里的新人,要完成神的新『事业』,就是建造基督的身体,作三一神的丰满和彰显。这丰满乃是三一神的生机体,要终极完成于新耶路撒冷。圣经开始于神在祂的创造里,这乃是起初,而结束于新耶路撒冷,就是三一神和祂所拣选、救赎、重生、变化、模成、并荣化之三部分人的调和。因此,新耶路撒冷乃是神和人的一个构成,要彰显神,直到永永远远。
14The word economy is an anglicized form of the Greek word oikonomia, which means "house law, household oikonomia management, or administration, " and derivatively, " administrative dispensation (arrangement), plan, economy. " This Greek word implies the not i on of dispensing. A dispensing is different from a dispensation. The word dispensing denotes an imparting of something, whereas the word dispensation, as it is commonly used by Christians, refers to the way God deals with people during a particular age. Today many talk about God's dispensations without seeing the crucial matter of God's dispensing. An economy is an arrangement to carry out a plan for dispensing. God'secon o my is God's plan, God's arrangement, for God to dispense Himself in His element, life, nature, and attributes, and all that He has achieved and attained into His chosen people that they may be rebuilt by being constituted with the divine essence in the divine element of the divine source to be something divine. Before receiving God's dispensing, we were merely human. After God's rebuilding with the divine constitution we, like the Lord Jesus, become divinely human and humanly divine. Before incarnation Christ was only divine, but after His incarnation He became a God - man, a man with the divine nature. Now He is divinely human, and He is also humanly divine. Having been regenerated by Christ, we have become a part of Him, and now we are the same as He is—divinely human and humanly divine. The regenerated ones, who are divinely human and humanly divine, spontaneously become an organism, the Body of Christ, which is the church of God as the new man in God ' snew creation to carry out God's new "career," that is, to build up the Body of Christ for the fullness, the expression, of the Triune God. This fullness as the organism of the Triune God will consummate in the New Jerusalem. The Bible begins with God in His creation as the initiation and ends with the New Jerusalem, which is the mingling of the Triune God and all His chosen, redeemed, regenerated, transformed, conformed, and glorified tripartite people. The New Jerusalem is thus a constitution of God with man to express God for eternity.
