内里的律－新约的中心

The Inner Law— The Center Of The New Covenant
1读经：耶利米书31:31-34。在本篇信息中，我要进一步简短的说到新约，集中于内里的律是新约的中心。
1Scripture Reading: Jer. 31:31-34 In this message I would like to give a brief further word on the new covenant, focusing on the inner law as the center, the centrality, of the new covenant
不可废去
NOT TO BE ANNULLED
2照著圣经的原则，约绝不能废去。神所立的约更是如此。新约就像日、月、星一样，要永远存留。（耶三一35～37，三二40，三三20～26。）
2According to the principle of the Bible, a covenant should never be annulled. This is especially true of a covenant enacted by God. Like the sun, the moon, and the stars, the new covenant will remain forever (31:35- 37; 32:40; 33:20-26
内里生命的律
THE INNER LAW OF LIFE
是新约的中心
BEING THE CENTER OF THE NEW COVENANT
3新约的中心是内里生命的律。耶利米三十一章三十三节上半说，『耶和华说，那些日子以后，我与以色列家所立的约，乃是这样：我要将我的律法放在他们里面，写在他们心上。』这律法不是外面的律法，乃是里面的律法。在素质上，这律法乃指神圣的生命，而神圣的生命一点不差就是赐生命的灵，包罗万有的基督，经过过程且完成的神;这三者乃是一。赐生命的灵是包罗万有之基督的实际和实化，而包罗万有的基督是完成之神的化身。因此，这内里的律，一直留在我们这人里面，题醒我们，经过过程且完成的三一神－灵、子、父－一直与我们同在。我们可以说，律与我们同在。但这律是神圣的生命，而神圣的生命是经过过程且完成的三一神－奇妙的源头是父，美妙的元素是子，绝佳的素质是灵。这是新约的中心、内容、和实际。内里生命之律的功用
3The center, the centrality, of the new covenant is the inner law of life. Jeremiah 31:33a says, "This is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares Jehovah: I will put My law within them and write it upon their hearts." This law is not an outward law but an inward law. In its essence, this law refers to the divine life, and the divine life is nothing less than the life-giving Spirit, the all- inclusive Christ, and the processed and consummated God. These three are one. The life-giving Spirit is the reality and realization of the all-inclusive Christ, and the all-inclusive Christ is the embodiment of the consummated God. Thus, this inner law, remaining in our being all the time, reminds us that the very processed and consummated Triune God—the Spirit, the Son, and the Father—is with us all the time. We may say that the law is with us. But this law is the divine life, and the divine life is the processed and consummated Triune God—the marvelous source as the Father, the wonderful element as the Son, and the excellent essence as the Spirit. This is the center, the content, and the reality of the new covenant. THE FUNCTION OF THE INNER LAW OF LIFE
神圣的性能
The Divine Capacity
4我们说到内里生命之律的素质时，看见这律有另一方面，就是牠的功用。内里的律会尽功用，这律的功用乃指神圣的性能。在这律里有神圣的性能，而神圣的性能是全能的。这神圣的性能能在我们里面作一切，以完成神的定旨。关于神经纶的实行，没有一件积极的事是这神圣的性能作不到的。照著牠的生命，新约的律是三一神；照著牠的功用，牠是神圣的性能。
4As we consider the essence of the inner law of life, we see that this law has another aspect, that is, its function. This law functions. The function of the inner law refers to the divine capacity. In this law there is the divine capacity, and the divine capacity is almighty. This divine capacity can do everything in us for the fulfillment of God's purpose. There is not a positive thing concerning the carrying out of God'secon o my that this divine capacity is unable to do. According to its life, the law of the new covenant is the Triune God, and according to its function, it is the divine capacity.
使信徒由神构成，叫他们成为祂的扩增，作祂的彰显
Causing the Believers to Be Constituted with God That They May Become His Increase for His Expression
5内里生命之律的神圣性能能活神。这性能也能使在基督里的信徒由神构成。因为信徒由神构成，他们这团体的人就是神的彰显。虽然信徒由神构成，他们与神仍有区别。神是有神格的神，而我们信徒是在生命与性情上，但不是在神格上，成为与神一样。这就是说，除了神格以外，我们与神完全一样。既然我们在生命与性情上与神一样，我们就是祂的扩增，祂的扩大，作祂的丰满以彰显祂。这是内里生命之律的性能最高的一面。
5The divine capacity of the inner law of life can live God. This capacity can also cause the believers in Christ to be constituted with God. Because the believers are constituted with God, they as a corporate people are God'sex press i on. Although the believers are constituted with God, there is still a distinction between them and God. God remains God with the Godhead, and we, the believers, are made the same as God in life and in nature but not in the Godhead. This means that except for the Godhead, we are exactly the same as God. Since we are the same as God in life and in nature, we become His increase, His enlargement, as His fullness to express Him. This is the highest aspect of the capacity of the inner law of life
将我们构成基督的身体
Constituting Us to Be the Body of Christ
6这性能的另一面与基督的身体有关。除了使我们由神构成以外，内里之律的性能也将我们构成基督的身体。（林前十二13，弗五30。）这就是说，神圣的生命有那使我们成为基督身体的性能。不仅如此，这性能有身体一切功用所具的一切才能。我盼望我们对这内里生命之律的中心与功用，都有深刻的印象。
6Another aspect of this capacity is related to the Body of Christ. In addition to causing us to be constituted with God, the capacity of the inner law constitutes us to be the Body of Christ (1 Cor. 12:13; Eph. 5:30). This means that the divine life has the capacity to make us the Body of Christ. Furthermore, this capacity has all the abilities of all the functions of the Body. I hope that we all will be deeply impressed with the centrality and function of the inner law of life
神圣启示的中心线
THE CENTRAL LINE OF THE DIVINE REVELATION
7揭示神的经纶同祂的分赐神圣启示的中心线乃是揭示神的经纶同祂的分赐。神的分赐就是将祂自己放在我们里面，作内里生命的律。一面，我们有神圣的生命，就是三一神。另一面，我们有神圣的性能。藉这性能，我们不仅有能力认识神，并且活神，甚至由神构成。何等的性能！不仅如此，这性能能将我们构成基督身体的众肢体，包括各种的功用：丰富供应的节(使徒、申言者、传福音者、牧人和教师)的功用，以及身体依其度量而尽功用之每一部分的功用。（弗四11，16。）在素质上，内里生命的律是神在基督里成为那灵；在功用上，这律有性能，使我们由神构成，并将我们构成基督身体的众肢体，带著各种功用，各种才能。我很喜乐，甚至很兴奋，看见这律运行在主恢复中的众圣徒里面。为著这美妙的生命之律，我们要说阿利路亚！
7UNVEILING GOD'SECON O MY WITH HIS DISPENSING The central line of the divine revelation is to unveil God'secon o my with His dispensing. God's dispensing is simply to put Himself into us as the inner law of life. On the one hand, we have the divine life, which is the Triune God. On the other hand, we have the divine capacity. By this capacity we have the ability not only to know God but also to live God and even to be constituted with God. What a capacity! Furthermore, this capacity can constitute us to be the members of the Body of Christ, including all kinds of functions: those of apostles, prophets, evangelists, and shepherds and teachers — the joints of the rich supply — and those of every part of the Body that functions in its measure (Eph. 4:11, 16). In essence the inner law of life is God in Christ as the Spirit, and in function this law has the capacity to constitute us with God and to constitute us the members of the Body of Christ with all kinds of functions, all kinds of abilities. I am happy, and even excited, to see this law operating in the saints in the Lord's recovery. Hallelujah for this wonderful law of life!
