马可福音生命读经 · 第66篇

一种完全照著神新约经纶，并为著神新约经纶的生活（十五）

A Life Fully According to and for God’s New Testament Economy (15
1读经：马可福音1:14-18;4:26;9:1-8;10:23-25，罗马书14:17。我们在前两篇信息里交通了四件重要的事：主尽职时的背景；主是撒种者，将祂自己撒到神的子民里；门徒作为『土壤』的光景；主藉著祂的死与复活医治了这土壤。我们看见一百二十个人藉著这医治，成为主撒种的好土。然而我们看见，行传十章、二十一章、和加拉太二章强有力的指明，有些顶替基督的『杂草』又开始长出来。
1Scripture Reading: Mark 1:14-18; 4:26; 9:1-8; 25; Rom. 14:17 10:23-25 In the two preceding messages we considered four important matters: the background of the Lord’s ministry, the Lord as the Sower sowing Himself into God’s people, the condition of the disciples as “soil,” and the Lord’she al ing of this soil through His death and resurrection. We saw that through this healing the one hundred twenty became the good ground for the Lord’ss owing. However, we saw that in Acts 10 and 21 and Galatians 2 there are strong indications that the “weeds” of things that replace Christ had begun to grow again.
2我们在前篇信息的结语说到神的国。我们指出，照著新约来看，神的国就是主耶稣基督这个人位，撒到我们里面，好得著发展。主来尽职事，将祂自己这国度的种子撒到神所拣选的人里面，好使这种子能发展成为神的国。国度是耶稣的变化形像
2We concluded the last message with a word concerning the kingdom of God. We pointed out that, according to the New Testament, the kingdom of God is a Person, the Lord Jesus Christ, sown into us in order to be developed. In His ministry, the Lord came to sow Himself as the seed of the kingdom into God’s chosen people so that this seed might develop into God’skin gdom. THE KINGDOM AS THE TRANSFIGURATION OF JESUS
39:1我们在马可九章一至八节看见国度的另一面。主耶稣在九章一节告诉门徒：『我实在告诉你们，站在这里的，有人还没有尝到死味，必看见神的国带著能力来临。』这一节以后，接著就是主在变化山上的记载。二至三节继续说，『过了六天，耶稣带著彼得、雅各和约翰，暗暗的领开他们上了高山，就在他们面前变了形像，衣服放光，白到极点，地上漂布的，没有一个能漂得那样白。』我们把这些经节摆在一起就看见，主耶稣变化形像乃是国度的来临。这证明国度不是物质的范围。这些经节指明，国度是一个变化形像的人。当主耶稣变化形像的时候，就是国度的来临。那么，神的国到底是甚么？神的国就是变化形像的主耶稣自己。
3We see another aspect of the kingdom in 9:1-8. In the Lord Jesus said to His disciples, “Truly I tell you, there are some of those standing here who shall by no means taste death until they see the kingdom of God come in power.” This verse is immediately followed by the record of the Lord’s transfiguration on the mount. Verses 2 and 3 go on to say, “And after six days Jesus takes with Him Peter and James and John, and brings them up into a high mountain by themselves alone. And He was transformed before them; and His garments became brilliant, exceedingly white, such as no fuller on earth could whiten them.” When we put these verses together, we see that the transfiguration of the Lord Jesus was the coming of the kingdom. This proves that the kingdom is not a material realm. Rather, these verses indicate that the kingdom is a Person transfigured. When the Lord Jesus was transfigured, that was the coming of the kingdom. What, then, is the kingdom of God? The kingdom of God is the Lord Jesus Himself transfigured.
4经历主在我们里面开花
4EXPERIENCING THE LORD BLOSSOMING WITHIN US
主在我们里面变化形像
The Lord Being Transfigured in Us
5我们需要在经历的光中，来思想我们对国度是主耶稣的变化形像这个领会。当你相信主耶稣并接受祂时，你是接受一个尚未变化形像的耶稣。正如土壤所接受的种子是一粒还未变化形像的种子；照样，在我们的经历中，我们所接受的基督，也是还未变化形像的基督。一粒种子改变形像，需要种子生长，并长成一棵成熟且开花的植物。所以，我们可以说，种子要变化形像就需要长大并开花。照样，我们所接受的主耶稣需要在我们里面长大，直到祂从我们里面开出花来。
5We need to consider this understanding of the kingdom as the transfiguration of the Lord Jesus in the light of our experience. When you believed in the Lord Jesus and received Him, you received a Jesus who was not transfigured. Just as the seed received by the soil is a seed that has not yet been transfigured, so in our experience the Christ we received was a Christ not transfigured. The transfiguration of a seed requires the growth of that seed into a mature plant and the blossoming of that plant. Therefore, we may say that the transfiguration of a seed requires growth and blossoming. In a similar way, the Lord Jesus we received needs to grow in us until He blossoms from within us.
6我们是土壤，主耶稣就是国度的种子。我们接受祂到我们里面时，乃是接受那尚未在我们经历中变化形像的一位。你们接受了主耶稣么？祂现今在你们里面么？我们都能强有力的见证，我们都接受了主，祂也在我们里面。但主有没有在你们里面变化形像？主在你们里面若还没有变化形像，别人就不能在你们身上看见神的国。我们既然还未经历这种变化形像，就需要主在我们里面长大，直到祂开花。这样的开花就是主耶稣在我们里面实际的变化形像。这种变化形像正是神的国。
6We are the soil, and the Lord Jesus is the seed of the kingdom. When we received Him into us, we received Him as the One who had not yet been transfigured in our experience. Have you received the Lord Jesus, and is He now in you? We all can testify strongly that we have received the Lord and that He is in us. But has the Lord been transfigured in you? If the Lord who is in you has not yet been transfigured, others will not be able to see the kingdom of God in you. Since we have not yet experienced this kind of transfiguration, we need the Lord to grow in us until He blossoms. That blossoming will be the transfiguration of the Lord Jesus in us in a practical way. Such a transfiguration is the kingdom of God
享受与管治
Enjoyment and Ruling
7主耶稣在我们里面变化形像，不仅成为我们的享受，也成为神的管治。当主耶稣在我们日常生活中，实际的在我们里面变化形像时，这样的变化形像就成了神的国，管治我们生活中的每一件事。这国度管治我们，也使我们能完全享受神。
7The transfiguration of the Lord Jesus within us becomes not only our enjoyment but also God’s ruling. When the Lord Jesus is transfigured in us in a practical way in our daily living, that transfiguration becomes the kingdom of God ruling everything in our life. This kingdom rules us and also gives us the full enjoyment of God
长大与改变形像
Growth and Transfiguration
8多年来我熟悉主变化形像的故事，却没有看见这种变化形像必须在日常生活中对我们是可以经历的，且是实际的。我们都有主耶稣在我们里面，但祂还没有在我们里面变化形像。所以，我们需要祂在我们里面长大，直到祂变化形像，而在我们的经历里开花，成为神国的彰显。
8For years I was familiar with the story of the Lord’s transfiguration without realizing that this transfiguration should be something experiential and practical to us in our daily living. We all have the Lord Jesus within us, but He has not yet been transfigured in us. Hence, we need Him to grow in us until by transfiguration He blossoms into the expression of the kingdom of God in our experience.
种子变化形像
The Seed Transfigured
9主耶稣在一章十五节说，『时期满了，神的国已经临近了。』然后，主在讲述种子的比喻时，说，『神的国是这样，如同人把种子撒在地上。』（四２６。）之后在九章一节，主告诉门徒，站在那里的，有人还没有尝到死味，必看见神的国带著能力来临。主耶稣这样论到国度以后，紧接著就在山上，在彼得、雅各、约翰面前变了形像。祂的变化形像乃是神的国带著能力来临。这很强的指明，神的国实在就是主耶稣的变化形像。
9In 1:15 the Lord Jesus said, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has drawn near.” Then in the parable of the seed the Lord said, “So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed on the earth” (4:26). Later, in 9:1, the Lord told His disciples that some standing there would not taste death until they saw the kingdom of God come in power. Immediately after speaking this word concerning the kingdom, the Lord Jesus was transfigured on the mountaintop before Peter, James, and John. His transfiguration was the coming of the kingdom of God in power. This is a strong indication that the kingdom of God is actually the transfiguration of the Lord Jesus.
10马可四章有国度的种子。现今在九章，这种子变了形像；种子变了形像就是神国的来临。你们知道为甚么今天在许多真正的基督徒中间，缺少神的国？原因在于这些基督徒缺少基督的变化形像。活在许多信徒里面的基督现今只是一粒种子，祂还没有变化形像。我们的光景也许就是这样。不错，我们有主耶稣活在我们里面，但我们也许没有给祂机会在我们里面变化形像。所以，我们也许只有国度的种子，却没有国度的出现。
10In chapter four of Mark we have the seed of the kingdom. Now in chapter nine this seed is transfigured, and this transfiguration of the seed is the coming of the kingdom of God. Do you know why among many genuine Christians there is the lack of the kingdom of God today? The reason is that among these Christians there is the lack of the transfiguration of Christ. The Christ who lives in so many believers is still a seed; He has not yet been transfigured. This may also be our situation. Yes, we have the Lord Jesus living within us, but we may not have given Him the opportunity to be transfigured in us. Therefore, with us there may be only the seed of the kingdom, but not the appearing of the kingdom
国度的出现
the appearing of the kingdom
11主在山上变化形像的当天，乃是国度的来临、出现。由此我们看见，我们要国度从我们里面出现，就必须经历主在我们里面的变化形像。
11On the day of the Lord’s transfiguration on the mountaintop there was the coming, the appearing, of the kingdom. From this we see that in order to have the appearing of the kingdom from within us, we need to experience the Lord’s being transfigured within us
产生召会生活
Producing the Church Life
12马可九章一至三节证明，神的国不是物质的范围。我们曾强调一个事实，就是神的国是主耶稣这人位的变化形像。今天，这样的变化形像产生了召会生活，就是神的国。对于召会是国度这样的领会，与保罗在罗马十四章十七节所说的话相符：『因为神的国不在于吃喝，乃在于公义、和平、并圣灵中的喜乐。』照上下文来看，本节神的国是指召会生活。
12Mark 9:1-3 proves that the kingdom of God is not a material realm. We have emphasized the fact that the kingdom of God is the transfiguration of the Person of the Lord Jesus. Today such a transfiguration produces the church life, which is the kingdom of God. This understanding of the church as the kingdom corresponds to Paul’s word in Romans 14:17: “The kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.” According to the context, the kingdom of God in this verse refers to the church life.
为著神的国
LIVING A LIFE OF GOD
过神的生活
FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD
13我们都需要看见神永远的计画，就是祂新约的经纶，乃是要将祂自己这位三一神分赐到祂所拣选的人里面。为了完成祂的计画，祂成为肉体，成了一个人名叫耶稣。当这人出来传道时，祂开始将自己撒到神所拣选的人里面。然而，原来要给主撒种的土壤，就是祂所拣选的人，却堕落、被破坏、败坏了。因此，主耶稣将这土壤带到十字架上钉死；又带著祂所拣选的人这土壤进入祂的复活里。主藉著祂的死与复活，不仅医治了土壤，也成了神子民的顶替。祂以祂自己来顶替他们，使他们成为祂的复制。那就是说，祂使他们与祂一模一样。当主耶稣在地上的时候，祂为著神的国过神的生活。祂没有活文化、宗教或伦常。现今，跟从祂的人应当过同样的生活。这意思是说，跟从祂的人应当过神的生活，为著发展神的国。
13We all need to see that God’s eternal plan, which is His New Testament economy, is to dispense Himself as the Triune God into His chosen people. In order to accomplish His plan, He was incarnated, becoming a man named Jesus. When this man came out to preach, He began to sow Himself into God’s chosen people. However, as the soil for the Lord’ss owing, His chosen people had become fallen, damaged, and corrupt. Therefore, the Lord Jesus brought this soil to the cross and crucified it. Then He brought God’s chosen people as the soil with Him into His resurrection. Through His death and resurrection, the Lord not only healed the soil, but also became the replacement for God’sp eople. By replacing them with Himself, He made them His reproduction; that is, He made them the same as He. When the Lord Jesus was on earth, He lived a life of God for the kingdom of God. He did not live a life of culture, religion, or ethics. Now His followers should live the same kind of life. This means that His followers should live a life of God for the development of God’skin gdom
14我们要看见，我们这班神的子民，既然已经被基督顶替，且有基督作我们的顶替，就当活一种绝对属于神的生活，这是非常要紧的。我们不该活三一神以外的生活。我们需要天天实行这个异象。这意思是说，我们不该活文化、宗教、伦常、道德、哲学、性格改良、努力要属灵、合乎圣经、圣别并得胜，而需要活出一种绝对属于神，并为著神国的生活。譬如，已婚的弟兄不该尽力想凭自己去爱妻子，也不应该竭力要作好丈夫的模范。有了这种思想，就是偏离神新约经纶的目标，更偏离神经纶的异象。照著新约所陈明神经纶的异象，我们这班神所拣选的人，已经被基督顶替，且有基督作顶替了，所以我们只该活出神的生活。这意思是说，若有已婚的弟兄想要尽力作个好丈夫，他应该放弃这种想法，简简单单的活出神的生活。这位弟兄必须看见，他已经蒙神拣选、被基督顶替了，所以他不该凭自己努力要作个好丈夫，反倒要活出神的生活。他的定命不是活出爱妻子的生活，而是要活出神的生活。因此，他不该活文化、宗教或伦常的生活。他不该注意这些事物，而该只见耶稣。至终，他的生活方式将比文化、宗教、伦常、道德更高。他对妻子的爱，将比他天然属人的爱更高。
14It is crucial for us to see that as God’s people, as those who have been replaced by Christ and with Christ, we need to live a life that is absolutely of God. We should not live a life that is of something other than the Triune God. Day by day we need to put this vision into practice. This means that instead of living a life of culture, religion, ethics, morality, philosophy, improvement of character, and of trying to be spiritual, scriptural, holy, and victorious, we need to live a life that is absolutely of God and for the kingdom of God. For example, a married brother should not try in himself to love his wife. Neither should he endeavor to be a pattern to others of what a good husband should be. To have this thought is to miss the mark of God’s New Testament economy. Furthermore, it is to miss the vision of God’secon o my. According to the vision of God’secon o my presented in the New Testament, as God’s chosen people, those who have been replaced by and with Christ, we should live only a life of God. This means that if a married brother has the thought of trying to be a good husband, he should drop that thought and simply live a life of God. Such a brother needs to realize that he has been chosen by God and replaced by Christ, not that he should try in himself to be a good husband, but that he should live a life of God. He has not been destined to live a life of loving his wife; rather, he has been destined to live a life of God. Therefore, he should not live a life of culture, religion, or ethics. Instead of seeing these things, he should see Jesus only. Eventually, he will live in a way that is much higher than culture, religion, ethics, or morality. He will have a love for his wife that is much higher than his natural human love.
15我们不该被伦常或性格改良这些好事物所霸占或拦阻；反之，我们应当被三一神占有并完全充满。这一位过著完全照著神新约经纶，并为著神新约经纶生活的，也就是那以祂自己来顶替我们的，如今就是那灵，藉著我们活出来。我们不该让这一位以外的任何事物来充满并占有我们。在三一神以外的事物上富足
15We should not be occupied even with good things such as ethics and improvement of character or be frustrated by these things. Instead, we should be occupied, thoroughly filled, with the Triune God. The One who lived a life fully according to and for God’s New Testament economy, the One who has replaced us with Himself, is now the Spirit living through us. We should not allow anything other than this One to fill us and occupy us. RICH IN THINGS OTHER THAN THE TRIUNE GOD
16马可十章财主的事例，说明我们需要脱离神以外任何事物的霸占。财主忧忧郁郁的走了以后，主告诉门徒：『有钱财的人要进神的国，是何等的难！』（２３。）有人读到这里也许会说，『神不公平，为甚么穷人能进入神的国，而财主不能？』我们需要看见，为甚么马可十章的财主不能进入神的国。他不能进入，因为他整个人都被神以外的事物霸占了。他里面没有地方让基督能生长成为国度。我们要再一次看见，神的国不是物质的范围。神的国就是主耶稣在我们里面的生长与发展。有人读到马可十章财主的事，也许会因自己贫穷，一点不像财主而高兴。然而，你也许在财物之外的事上是富足的；即使我们中间的青年人，也可能在这十件顶替基督的事物上是富足的，就是在文化、宗教、伦常、道德、哲学、性格改良，以及努力要属灵、合乎圣经、圣别并得胜的事上是富足的。
16The incident concerning the rich man in Mark 10 is an illustration of our need to be free from being occupied by anything except God Himself. After the rich man went away sorrowing, the Lord said to His disciples, “With what difficulty shall those who hold on to riches enter into the kingdom of God!” (10:23). Some who read this may say, “God isn’t fair. Why can a poor man enter the kingdom of God, but not a rich man?” We need to see why the rich man in Mark 10 could not enter into the kingdom of God. He could not enter because his being was occupied by things other than God. There was no room in him for Christ to grow into a kingdom. Once again we need to see that the kingdom of God is not a material realm. The kingdom of God is the Lord Jesus growing and developing within us. When some read about the rich man in Mark 10, they may rejoice over the fact that they are poor and not at all like the rich man. However, you may be quite rich in things other than material wealth. Even the young ones among us may be rich in the ten matters that are replacements for Christ, rich in culture, religion, ethics, morality, philosophy, improvement of character, and the effort to be spiritual, scriptural, holy, and victorious
17你们知道富足的意思是甚么？富足的意思就是被三一神以外的事物霸占。在我事奉的年日当中，曾经遇见许多在三一神以外的事上富足的基督徒。他们在圣经知识、传统神学、以及尽力要属灵的事上，相当富足；因著他们这样富足，就没有空间可以让主耶稣在他们里面长大。我在本篇信息所说的话，都是首先应用在我自己身上的。我释放本篇信息以前，首先自问：『你有没有被基督以外的任何事物霸占？你也许被你对圣经的一些观念霸占了。』我非常的担忧，我可能会被一些不是基督自己的好事物所霸占。
17Do you know what it means to be rich? To be rich means to be occupied by something other than the Triune God. In my years of serving the Lord, I have met hundreds of Christians who were rich in things other than the Triune God. They were rich in such things as Bible knowledge, traditional theology, and the effort to be spiritual. Because they were rich in this way, there was no room for the Lord Jesus to grow within them. I am not giving a word in this message that I have not first applied to myself. Before giving this message, I asked myself, “Are you occupied by anything other than Christ? Perhaps you are occupied by some concept you have concerning the Bible.” I am deeply concerned that I may still be occupied by certain good things that are not Christ Himself
OUR NEED TO EMPTY OURSELVES
TO ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD
我们需要倒空自己，藉著基督在我们里面长大，进入神的国
THROUGH THE GROWTH OF CHRIST WITHIN US
18我们都需要将一切在基督以外霸占我们的事物倒空。我们里面需要为著主耶稣卸去一切；我们实在需要倒空自己。照圣经来看，谦卑自己就是倒空自己，好使我们里面所有的空间，都能让主耶稣生长在其中。倒空自己并将里面所有的空间都让给主耶稣，就是进入神的国。我们不该将国度当作一个物质的范围，以为我们履行一些条件之后，将来有一天就可以进入其中。那是对于神的国传统的观念，不是新约里国度的教训。
18We all need to be emptied of anything other than Christ that occupies us. Our being needs to be unloaded for the Lord Jesus. We need to empty ourselves. According to the Bible, to humble ourselves is to empty ourselves. We need to empty ourselves so that all of the space within us will be available for the growth of the Lord Jesus in us. To empty ourselves and give the Lord Jesus all the room within us is to enter into the kingdom of God. We should not regard the kingdom as a material realm that we shall enter one day after certain terms have been fulfilled. That is a traditional concept of the kingdom of God, not the teaching concerning the kingdom in the New Testament
19进入神的国就是倒空自己，卸去基督以外的每一件事物，好让我们全人能腾出空位来，使祂在我们里面完全长大，我们对于这个事实该有深刻的印象。我有完全的把握，这就是对于进入神国的正确领会。你们现在若不同意，至终你们也会同意，这乃是照著新约的启示。进入神的国，不是进入我们身外的一个物质范围。进入神的国乃是在我们里面生长基督。国度在我们里面发展了，就是我们进入国度。
19We need to be impressed with the fact that to enter into the kingdom of God is to empty ourselves, to unload ourselves of everything other than Christ so that our entire being may be available for Him to grow in us in full. I have the full assurance that this is the proper understanding of what it means to enter into the kingdom of God. If you do not agree with this understanding today, eventually you will agree that it is according to the New Testament revelation. To enter the kingdom of God is not a matter of entering a material realm outside of us. Rather, to enter the kingdom of God is to grow Christ inwardly. The developing of the kingdom within us is our entering into the kingdom.
20国度怎样在我们里面发展？我们若要让国度在我们里面发展，就需要谦卑自己、倒空自己、卸清自己。我们不该被文化、宗教、伦常、道德、哲学、性格改良，或尽力要属灵、合乎圣经、圣别、得胜这类事所霸占。我们应该只顾到基督，顾到基督在我们里面生长。我们里面每一寸的地土都该让给祂，使祂在我们里面生长。我鼓励你们接受这种对国度的领会，并在这样的光中读马太十三章和马可四章。我们在这两章看见，主耶稣是撒种者，来将祂自己撒到我们这土壤里。祂盼望我们倒空自己、卸清自己，并且让祂在我们里面有地土能彀生长。基督在我们里面生长，就是我们进入国度，原因乃在于基督在我们里面的生长就是国度的发展。不仅如此，当我们发展国度时，我们就进入国度。所以，国度不是一个物质的范围。相反的，国度乃是基督在我们里面长大。
20How can the kingdom develop within us? If we would have the kingdom develop in us, we need to humble ourselves, empty ourselves, unload ourselves. We should not be occupied with culture, religion, ethics, morality, philosophy, improvement of character, or the effort to be spiritual, scriptural, holy, and victorious. We should care only for Christ and for the growth of Christ within us. All the ground within us should be made available for Him to grow in us. I would encourage you to take this understanding of the kingdom and read Matthew 13 and Mark 4 in light of it. In these chapters we see the Lord Jesus as the Sower coming to sow Himself into us as the soil. He expects that we shall empty ourselves, unload ourselves, and give Him the ground to grow in us. The growing of Christ within us is our entering into the kingdom. The reason the growth of Christ in us is our entrance into the kingdom is that this growing is the developing of the kingdom. Furthermore, as we develop the kingdom, we enter into it. Therefore, the kingdom is not a material realm. On the contrary, the kingdom is a matter of Christ growing in our being
21神在基督里拣选了我们，并且豫备了基督作为宇宙的顶替者。现在，我们需要与主合作，倒空自己，好让祂能在我们里面自由的生长。我们若这样作，就会在国度里－来世在国度的实现里，而今天在国度的实际里。这就是照著神新约经纶的生活。但愿我们都看见神新约经纶这样的观点。我们若看见一种完全照著神新约经纶，并为著神新约经纶的生活这个异象，我们整个基督徒的生
21God has chosen us in Christ, and He has provided Christ as the universal replacement. Now we need to cooperate with the Lord by unloading ourselves so that He may grow freely in our being. If we do this, we shall be in the kingdom. We shall be in the manifestation of the kingdom in the coming age, and we shall be in the reality of the kingdom today. This is a life that lives according to God’s New Testament economy. May we all see such a view of the New Testament economy of God. If we see the vision of a life fully according to and for God’s New Testament economy, our entire Christian life will be revolutionized
22活就会有彻底的转变。
22
丰富的发展，
A RICH DEVELOPMENT
为著丰丰富富进入神的国
FOR A RICH ENTRANCE
23彼后一章三至十一节进一步指明，国度在我们里面发展，实在就是我们进入国度。彼得在三至四节说到神的神能已将一切关于生命和敬虔的事赐给我们，又说到我们得有分5于神的性情。然后，在五至十一节就论到藉生命长大发展，而得丰富进入永远的国。
23In 2 Peter 1:3-11 we have a further indication that the development of the kingdom within us is actually our entrance into the kingdom. In verses 3 and 4 Peter speaks of the divine power granting to us all things which relate to life and godliness and of becoming partakers of the divine nature. Then in verses through 11 we have the development through growth in life unto the rich entrance into the eternal kingdom.
24彼得在五至七节说，『正因这缘故，你们要分外殷勤，在你们的信上，充足的供应美德，在美德上供应知识，在知识上供应节制，在节制上供应忍耐，在忍耐上供应敬虔，在敬虔上供应弟兄相爱，在弟兄相爱上供应爱。』我们在这里看见，神圣的生命在我们里面发展的几个步骤。然后彼得在十一节下结论说，『这样，你们就必得著丰富充足的供应，以进入我们主和救主耶稣基督永远的国。』本节强有力的印证，我们所论到进入神国的话。进入国度，乃是神圣生命在我们里面发展的事。我们若让这生命丰富充足的发展，这种发展就会使我们丰富的2进入神的国。我们在彼后一章三至十一节看见，我们怎样丰富充足的得著供应，以进入国度。我们要强调一个事实：我们乃是藉著里面神圣生命的发展得著供应，而得以进入神的国。表面看来，是我们进入神的国；事实上，是主在我们里面生命的长大，以及这生命在我们里面的发展，叫我们得供应，而使我们得以进入国度。
24In verses 5 through 7 Peter says, “And for this very reason also, adding all diligence, supply bountifully in your faith virtue, and in virtue knowledge, and in knowledge self-control, and in self-control endurance, and in endurance godliness, and in godliness brotherly love, and in brotherly love love.” Here we see the development of the divine life in us through a number of steps. Then in verse 11 Peter concludes, “For so shall be richly and bountifully supplied to you the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” This verse is a strong confirmation of what we have been saying concerning entering into the kingdom of God. The entrance into the kingdom is a matter of the development of the divine life within us. If we have a rich development of this life, this development will become our rich entrance into God’skin gdom. In Peter 1:3-11 we see how an entrance into the kingdom is supplied to us richly and bountifully. We would emphasize the fact that this entrance is supplied through the development of the divine life within us. Apparently it is we who enter into the kingdom of God. Actually the entrance into the kingdom is supplied to us by the Lord through our growth in His life and through the development of this life within us.
