腓立比书生命读经 · 第35篇

藉著那灵接受话而活基督

LIVING CHRIST BY RECEIVING THE WORD THROUGH THE SPIRIT
1读经：腓立比书1:19-21a;2:12b-13a,16a，约翰福音1:1;6:63，以弗所书6:17b-18a;5:18-20，希伯来书4:12，歌罗西书3:16-17，提摩太后书3:16a。
1Scripture Reading: Phil. 1:19-21a; 2:12b-13a, 16a; John 1:1; 6:63; Eph. 6:17b-18a; 5:18-20; Heb. 4:12; Col. 3:16-17; 2 Tim. 3:16a
2腓立比一章十九至二十一节上半说到救恩，耶稣基督之灵全备的供应，显大基督，以及活基督。二章十二节下半、十三节上半、和十六节上半说到作成我们自己的救恩，神在我们里面运行，以及将生命的话表明出来。腓立比书这两段里有两条线：第一条线是救恩、那灵与基督；第二条线是救恩、神与话。这一个比较相当有启示。
2In 1:19-21a we have salvation, the bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, the magnifying of Christ, and the living of Christ. In 2:12, 13a, and 16a we have the matters of working out our own salvation, of God operating in us, and of holding forth the word of life. In these two portions of Philippians we have two lines: the first line is salvation, the Spirit, and Christ; the second line is salvation, God, and the word. This comparison is quite revealing
经历救恩
EXPERIENCING SALVATION
3在一章十九节保罗说，他的处境、环境、和情况终必叫他得救。但在二章十二节他嘱咐我们作成我们自己的救恩。照著保罗在一章十九节的话，我们所面临的困难处境能叫我们得救。我们的景况是否叫我们得救，在于我们是否享受耶稣基督之灵全备的供应。我们若没有享受这全备的供应，我们的景况终必叫我们羞愧。我们所面临的每一个处境，不是叫我们得救，就是叫我们羞愧。例如，假定一位弟兄的妻子难为他。对弟兄而言，这处境可能叫他得救，也可能叫他羞愧，这全在于他有否享受耶稣基督之灵全备的供应。他若享受那灵的供应，就会经历即时的救恩，并且基督就会在他身上显大。他若没有享受供应，却对妻子生气，他就会羞愧。我再说，弟兄与他妻子之间的情形，若是叫他得救，基督就会显大。实在说来，一章十九节的救恩就是那得著显大的基督。在二章十二节保罗又说到救恩。然而这次他不是说到他的得救，乃是嘱咐圣徒们作成他们自己的救恩。论到他自己，保罗说他的景况终必叫他得救。但论到圣徒们，他告诉他们必须作成他们自己的救恩。
3In 1:19 Paul says that his situation, environment, and surroundings will turn out to him for salvation. But in 2:12 he charges us to work out our own salvation. According to Paul’sword in 1:19, the difficult situations we face can turn out to our salvation. Whether or not our circumstances turn out for us to salvation depends on whether or not we enjoy the bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ. If we do not enjoy this bountiful supply, our circumstances will turn out to be for shame. Every situation we face will turn out either for salvation or shame. Suppose, for example, a brother’s wife gives him a difficult time. For the brother this situation can be either a salvation or a shame. It all depends on whether or not he enjoys the bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ. If he enjoys the supply of the Spirit, he will experience an instant salvation, and Christ will be magnified in him. If he does not enjoy the supply, but becomes angry with his wife, he will be put to shame. I repeat, if the brother’s situation with his wife turns out to be for his salvation, Christ will be magnified. In a very real sense, the salvation in 1:19 is Christ magnified. In 2:12 Paul again speaks of salvation. This time, however, he does not speak of his salvation, but charges the saints to work out their own salvation. Concerning himself, Paul says that his circumstances will turn out for salvation. But concerning the saints, he tells them that they must work out their own salvation
4为著我们每天，尤其在我们的家庭生活和召会生活中，所面临的问题，我们需要神的救恩。我们为著不同种类的问题，需要不同种类的救恩。一位弟兄在对待所有不同的圣徒上，需要一种救恩。但他在与妻子的关系上，需要另一种救恩。照著神的命定，人独居不好，每位弟兄都该有妻子。然而，在婚姻生活中，问题是无可避免的。为著这一切问题，我们需要神的救恩。神命定婚姻，使我们有机会享受祂。我们若享受主，就会在我们的婚姻生活中经历祂的救恩。
4For the problems we face day by day, especially in our family life and in the church life, we need God’s salvation. We need different kinds of salvation for different kinds of problems. A brother needs one kind of salvation in his dealings with all the different saints. But he needs another kind of salvation in his relationship with his wife. According to God’s ordination, it is not good for a man to be alone. Every brother should have a wife. However, in married life problems are unavoidable. For all these problems we need God’s salvation. God ordained marriage so that we might have the opportunity to enjoy Him. If we enjoy the Lord, we shall experience His salvation in our married life.
5圣经里所启示神的救恩有许多种类。我们可以天天，甚至时刻经历神救恩的不同方面。我们年年、月月、周周、日日、甚至时时刻刻，都需要经历神的救恩。没有神的救恩，我简直不能活。
5God’ss alvation as revealed in the Bible is of many categories. Day by day and even moment by moment we may experience different aspects of God’ss alvation. Yearly, monthly, weekly, daily, and even moment by moment we need to experience salvation. I simply cannot live without God’ss alvation
得救脱离发怨言和起争论
SAVED FROM MURMURINGS AND REASONINGS
6保罗告诉我们要作成我们自己的救恩时，不是说到得救脱离火湖，也不是说到得救脱离神的定罪。我们不能作成那种救恩。请注意保罗告诉圣徒要『作成你们自己的救恩』。丈夫不该留意他妻子所需要的救恩，反而该专注于作成他自己的救恩。
6When Paul tells us to work out our own salvation, he is not speaking of salvation from hell nor salvation from God’s condemnation. We are not able to work out that kind of salvation. Notice that Paul tells the saints to “work out your own salvation.” A husband should not pay attention to the salvation needed by his wife. Instead, he should concentrate on working out his salvation
7保罗说到作成我们自己的救恩，这该与他在十四节说到发怨言和起争论的嘱咐联起来看。在这节里他说，『凡所行的，都不要发怨言，起争论。』我们先前曾指出，发怨言与情感有关，起争论与心思有关。不但如此，姊妹们特别有发怨言的难处，而弟兄们有起争论的困扰。我从未听过不发怨言的妻子。姊妹们需要在发怨言上作成她们自己的救恩。她们需要得救脱离发怨言。同样，弟兄们需要在起争论上作成他们自己的救恩。我们的婚姻生活和召会生活若满了发怨言和起争论，这就证明我们缺少神的救恩。我们的家庭生活和召会生活该满了救恩，而没有发怨言和起争论。在我们当地的召会里若没有发怨言或起争论，却有丰盛的救恩，这将是何等的美妙！神的运行与我们的合作一面，我们作成我们自己的救恩；另一面，神在我们里面运行。在十三节保罗宣告：『因为乃是神…在你们里面运行。』神在我们里面运行，而我们与祂合作。这就是说，我们照著神的运行作成我们的救恩。姊妹发怨言，或弟兄起争论的时候，神就运行使他们能作出他们自己的救恩，而脱离发怨言和起争论。当我们转向主并说，『哦，主耶稣，我爱你，』我们就得救脱离发怨言和起争论。
7Paul’sword about working out our own salvation should be considered in relation to his charge concerning murmurings and reasonings in verse 14. In this verse he says, “Do all things without murmurings and reasonings.” As we have pointed out previously, murmurings are related to the emotions, and reasonings, to the mind. Furthermore, sisters in particular have a problem with murmurings, whereas brothers are troubled by reasonings. I have never heard of a wife who did not murmur. A sister needs to work out her own salvation with respect to her murmurings. She needs salvation from murmuring. Likewise, the brothers need to work out their own salvation with respect to reasonings. If our married life and church life are filled with murmurings and reasonings, this is proof that we are lacking God’ss alvation. Our family life and our church life should be full of salvation and without any murmurings and reasonings. How marvelous it would be if in the church in our locality there were no murmurings or reasonings, but an abundance of salvation! GOD’SO PER AT I ON AND OUR COOPERATION On the one hand, we work out our own salvation; on the other hand, God operates in us. In verse 13 Paul exclaims, “For it is God who operates in you.” God operates in us, and we cooperate with Him. This means that we work out our salvation according to God’s operation. At the very time a sister is murmuring or a brother is reasoning, God operates to enable them to work out their salvation from murmurings and reasonings. When we turn to the Lord and say, “O Lord Jesus, I love You,” we are saved from murmurings and reasonings.
8运行原文也可译为『使…有力』。神从里面使我们有力。因为我们在许多处境里不容易经历神的救恩，所以祂就使我们有力。例如，一位弟兄也许在起争论上非常强烈。这位弟兄若要作成他自己的救恩，脱离起争论，就需要神使他有力。神创造诸天和地时，只须说话。但神要拯救我们脱离发怨言和起争论，就必须使我们有力。这指明祂拯救我们脱离发怨言和起争论，比祂创造天地更为困难。神要创造某样东西，只要说话，那样东西就有了。然而，祂若吩咐我们不要发怨言或起争论，我们也许不留意。因此，我们里面与神之间有摔跤。你岂没有多次与神摔跤么？这摔跤证明神很难拯救我们。为要拯救我们而不破坏我们，神就在我们里面加力。基督徒的生活是摔跤的生活，是与那在我们里面加力的神摔跤的生活。在我们里面加力的神是供应的灵。我们曾一再指出，在一章十九节保罗说，他的景况藉著那灵全备的供应，终必叫他得救。神若不在我们里面运行，我们就不可能经历来自那灵的供应。神在我们里面运行，好带给我们那灵全备的供应。这不是仅仅道理；这是属灵经历的事实。
8The Greek word rendered “operates” can also be translated “energizes.” God is energizing us from within. Because it is not easy for us to experience God’ss alvation in many situations, He energizes us. For example, a brother may be very strong in his reasonings. If this brother is to work out his own salvation from reasonings, he needs God to energize him. In creating the heavens and the earth God simply had to speak. But to rescue us from murmurings and reasonings, it is necessary for Him to energize us. This indicates that it is more difficult for Him to save us from murmurings and reasonings than it was for Him to create the earth. When God wanted to create something, He simply spoke, and that thing came into being. However, if He tells us not to murmur or reason, we may not pay attention. Thus, there is a wrestling inwardly between us and God. Have you not wrestled with God many times? This wrestling is a proof that it is difficult for God to rescue us. In order to rescue us without damaging us, He energizes within us. The Christian life is a wrestling life, a life of wrestling with the God who operates in us. The very God who operates in us is the supplying Spirit. Again and again we have pointed out that in 1:19 Paul says that his circumstances will turn out to his salvation through the bountiful supply of the Spirit. If God does not operate in us, it will not be possible for us to experience the supply from the Spirit. God operates in us in order to bring to us the bountiful supply of the Spirit. This is not mere doctrine; it is a fact of spiritual experience
得著显大的基督
Christ magnified
9藉著那灵全备的供应，基督就在我们身上显大。保罗在一章二十节所说到的是显大基督，但在二章十六节他说到将生命的话表明出来。将生命的话表明出来，等于显大基督。基督自己是生命的话；我们将生命的话表明出来，这话就是基督。
9Through the bountiful supply of the Spirit, Christ is magnified in us. What Paul speaks of in 1:20 is the magnification of Christ, but in 2:16 he speaks of holding forth the word of life. Holding forth the word of life is equal to magnifying Christ. Christ Himself is the word of life. We hold forth the word of life, and this word is Christ.
10那灵、神、基督与话我非常喜欢腓立比书这两段。一面，我们从一章看见，我们的环境可能叫我们得救。另一面，我们从二章看见，我们需要藉著与神的加力合作，作成我们自己的救恩。然而，照著我们堕落的性情，我们倾向于违反神的心愿。我们需要神在我们里面运行。然后我们若与祂合作，就会作成我们即时的救恩，并将生命的话表明出来。
10THE SPIRIT, GOD, CHRIST, AND THE WORD I am very fond of these two portions of Philippians. On the one hand, we see from chapter one that it is possible for our environment to turn out to our salvation. On the other hand, we see from chapter two that we need to work out our salvation by cooperating with God’s energizing. However, according to our fallen disposition, our tendency is to go contrary to God’s desire. We need God to operate in us. Then if we cooperate with Him, we shall work out our instant salvation and hold forth the word of life.
11我们需要对一个事实有深刻的印象，就是一章十九节的那灵等于二章十三节的神，一章二十、二十一节的基督等于二章十六节的生命的话。事实上，那灵、神、基督、与生命的话乃是一。
11We need to be impressed with the fact that the Spirit in 1:19 equals God in 2:13, and that Christ in 1:20 and 21 equals the word of life in 2:16. Actually, the Spirit, God, Christ, and the word of life are one
话与那灵
THE WORD AND THE SPIRIT
12我们看过，为要显大基督并活基督，我们需要那灵全备的供应。现在我们必须往前看见，这全备的供应是储藏在话里。照著圣经，那灵与话是一。在约翰六章六十三节主耶稣说，『我对你们所说的话，就是灵，就是生命。』这指明话就是灵。以弗所六章十七至十八节指明，那灵就是话。提后三章十六节说，圣经都是神的呼出。圣经的每一个字都是神的气。我们曾指出这气就是纽玛，那灵。所以，因著话与那灵都是神的气，二者的确是一。那灵是神的气，话也是神的气。不但如此，神的气就是祂的纽玛，那灵。一面，神的话是灵；另一面，神的灵是话。
12We have seen that in order to magnify Christ and to live Christ, we need the bountiful supply of the Spirit. Now we must go on to see that this bountiful supply is stored in the Word. According to the Bible, the Spirit and the Word are one. In John 6:63 the Lord Jesus says, “The words which I have spoken unto you are spirit and are life.” This indicates that the Word is the Spirit. Ephesians 6:17-18 indicates that the Spirit is the Word. Second Timothy 3:16 says that all Scripture is God-breathed. Every word of the Bible is the breath of God. We have pointed out that this breath is the pneuma, the Spirit. Thus, because both the Word and the Spirit are the breath of God, they are truly one. The Spirit is the breath of God, and the Word also is God’s breath. Furthermore, God’s breath is His pneuma, the Spirit. On the one hand, the Word of God is the Spirit; on the other hand, the Spirit of God is the Word
13我们从经历知道，我们藉著说，『哦，主耶稣，我爱你，』就能接触那灵，并且经历那灵在我们里面运行。那灵这内里的运行，常带进从主而来的话。例如，假定一位弟兄不满意他的妻子。但他转向主并说，『主耶稣，我爱你，』那灵就在他里面运行。然后那灵在他里面的运行就成为给他的一句话：『不要那样想你的妻子。』首先弟兄接触那灵；然后那灵成为在他里面发表的话。不但如此，这话成为从弟兄里面照耀的光，使他将生命的话表明出来。
13From our experience we know that we can contact the Spirit and experience the moving of the Spirit within us by saying, “O Lord Jesus, I love You.” This inner moving of the Spirit often issues in a word from the Lord. For example, suppose a brother is unhappy with his wife. But he turns to the Lord and says, “Lord Jesus, I love You,” and the Spirit moves within him. Then this moving of the Spirit becomes a word to him: “Do not think of your wife in that way.” First the brother contacts the Spirit; then the Spirit becomes the word uttered within him. Furthermore, this word becomes a light shining from within the brother, causing him to hold forth the word of life
14还有些时候，我们在经历中首先接受话，然后这话成为在我们里面运行的灵。无论我们先经历那灵然后经历话，或者先经历话然后经历那灵，那灵与话都是一。
14At other times in our experience we first receive the Word, and then the Word becomes the Spirit moving within us. Whether we first experience the Spirit and then the Word, or first the Word and then the Spirit, the Spirit and the Word are one.
临到我们的神
GOD REACHING US
15新约向我们保证，话与那灵是一。约翰一章一节说，『太初有话。』但在约翰二十章二十二节，主耶稣向门徒们吹气并且说，『你们受圣灵。』在约翰福音的开头，基督是话，但在这卷福音书的末了，祂吹出那灵。在六章六十三节祂说，话就是灵。藉著话与灵，神就临到我们。神若不是话与灵，就无法临到我们。那灵就是临到我们的神。每当我们摸著主或者主摸著我们的时候，我们就经历神圣的临及。神作为那灵临到我们。然而，照著一些基督徒的观念，那灵不过是神用来临到我们的凭藉。不，那灵就是神自己临到我们。我们可用电流为例证。神好像电，那灵好像电流。说电流有别于电本身，这当然是错误的。电在流动时，就成为电流。因此，电流就是动态的电本身。电流临到我们，那仍然是电，不是与电分开的东西。然而，有些基督徒坚持，那灵临到我们时，父神留在天上的宝座上。不，那灵临到我们时，就是神自己临到我们。
15The New Testament assures us that the Word and the Spirit are one. John 1:1 says, “In the beginning was the Word.” But in John 20:22, the Lord Jesus breathed upon the disciples and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.” At the beginning of the Gospel of John, Christ is the Word, but at the end of this Gospel, He breathes out the Spirit. In 6:63 He says that the Word is the Spirit. Through the Word and the Spirit God reaches us. If God were not the Word and the Spirit, He could not reach us. The Spirit is God reaching us. Whenever we touch the Lord or the Lord touches us, we experience a divine reaching. God reaches us as the Spirit. However, according to the concept of some Christians, the Spirit is simply a means used by God to reach us. No, the Spirit is God Himself reaching us. We may use the flow of electricity as an illustration. God is like the electricity, and the Spirit is like the electric current. Surely it is wrong to say that electric current is different from electricity itself. When electricity flows, it becomes the current. Hence, the current of electricity is electricity itself in motion. When the current reaches us, it is still electricity, not something apart from electricity. However, some Christians insist that when the Spirit comes to us, God the Father is left on the throne in heaven. No, when the Spirit reaches us, that is God Himself reaching us
天线与地线
THE ANTENNA AND THE GROUND WIRE
16那灵是奥秘、抽象、且难以领会的。但随著那灵，我们有话。再以电为例子，我们可以说到天线与地线。那灵可比喻为天线，话可比喻为地线。藉著天线和地线，我们就经历电的传输。我们若有那灵而没有话，或者有话而没有那灵，就无法接受神圣的传输。那灵与话，天线与地线，都是需要的。
16The Spirit is mysterious, abstract, and difficult to understand. But along with the Spirit, we have the Word. Once again using electricity as an example, we may speak of the antenna and the ground wire. The Spirit can be compared to the antenna, and the Word, to the ground wire. By the antenna and the ground wire we experience the transmission of electricity. If we have the Spirit without the Word or the Word without the Spirit, we shall not be able to receive the divine transmission. Both the Spirit and the Word, both the antenna and the ground wire, are necessary
两个极端
TWO EXTREMES
17在今天的基督徒当中，基要派代表一个极端，灵恩派代表另一个极端。基要派注重话，却常忽略灵；这是一个极端。另一面，许多灵恩派的人注重灵，却忽略话；这是另一个极端。我们不该在任何一个极端，却该得著平衡，灵与话并重。我们里面有那灵，我们手中有话，就是圣经。
17Among Christians today, Fundamentalists represent one extreme and Pentecostalists another. The Fundamentalists care for the Word, but often neglect the Spirit. This is one extreme. On the other hand, many Pentecostalists care for the Spirit, but neglect the Word. This is another extreme. We should not be at either extreme, but should be balanced, caring both for the Spirit and the Word. Within, we have the Spirit, and in our hands we have the Word, the Bible
藉著祷告接受话
RECEIVING THE WORD BY MEANS OF PRAYER
18在以弗所六章十七至十八节保罗告诉我们，要藉著各样的祷告和祈求，接受那灵的剑，那灵就是神的话。这里保罗说到话与灵两方面。不但如此，他告诉我们，要藉著各样的祷告，时时在灵里祷告，来接受神的话。我们可藉著各样的祷告：听得见的祷告和静默的祷告，长的祷告和短的祷告，快的祷告和慢的祷告，私下的祷告和公开的祷告，来接受神的话。藉著祷告接受神的话，就是祷读神的话。每当我们来到神的话跟前，我们不该仅仅运用我们的眼睛看，或用我们的心思领会，也该运用我们的灵。我能从经历见证，我们若接触圣经而不祷告，只用我们的眼睛和心思，圣经对我们就会成为死的字句。我们的读经该与祷告调和。这就是祷读。例如，我们祷读创世记一章一节时可以说，『起初神创造天地。起初，阿们。主，感谢你，起初。哦，起初神在那里。主，感谢你，你是起初，起源。』我们这样祷读主的话，话对我们就成为神活的气，就是那灵。结果，我们就得著滋润、滋养、复苏和光照。圣经绝不是死的字句的书，反而在我们的经历中成为滋养的灵。
18In Ephesians 6:17 and 18 Paul tells us to receive the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, by means of all prayer and petition. Here Paul covers the aspects both of the Word and of the Spirit. Furthermore, he tells us to receive the Word of God by means of all prayer, praying at every time in spirit. We may receive the Word of God by means of all kinds of prayer: audible prayer and silent prayer, long prayer and short prayer, quick prayer and slow prayer, private prayer and public prayer. To take the Word of God by means of prayer is to pray- read the Word. Whenever we come to the Word of God, we should not merely exercise our eyes to read or our mind to understand, but also exercise our spirit. I can testify from experience that if we touch the Bible without prayer, using only our eyes and our mind, the Bible will be dead letters to us. Our reading of the Bible should be mingled with prayer. This is pray-reading. For example, in pray-reading Genesis 1:1, we may say, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. In the beginning, amen. Thank You, Lord, in the beginning. Oh, God was there in the beginning. Thank You, Lord, that You are the beginning, the origin.” When we pray- read the Word in such a way, the Word becomes to us the living breath of God, the Spirit. As a result, we are watered, nourished, refreshed, and enlightened. Far from being a book of dead letters, the Bible becomes in our experience the nourishing Spirit
19在以弗所六章十七至十八节，保罗明确的嘱咐我们，要藉著祷告接受神的话。有些反对实行祷读的人坚持，这些经文不能这样应用。然而，照著原文，我们必须说，我们该凭著祷告或藉著祷告来接受神的话。这里保罗告诉我们，要接受神的话，也给了我们接受祂话的路─藉著祷告。所以，我们无法否认，在圣经里有祷读主的话这样一件事。我们需要读主的话，并藉著祷告接受主的话。历世纪以来，许多圣徒在原则上都这样实行。有的人是说，我们读圣经的时候需要祷告。另有的人指出，我们该带著祷告来读圣经。带著祷告来读圣经就是祷读主的话。许多主的子民曾实行祷读而不知道这辞。他们来到主的话跟前，自然而然用主的话，也就著主的话祷告。我信在你听见祷读这辞以前，也许曾实行祷读约翰三章十六节。你也许读了这话：『神爱世人』，然后祷告：『哦，神，感谢你爱世人。父，我感谢你爱我。你甚至爱我到一个地步，将你的儿子赐给我。』这就是祷读。
19In Ephesians 6:17 and 18 Paul definitely charges us to receive the Word of God by means of prayer. Some who oppose the practice of pray- reading insist that these verses cannot be applied this way. However, according to the Greek text, we must say that we should receive the Word of God either by means of prayer or through prayer. Here Paul tells us to receive the Word of God and also gives us the way to receive it—by means of prayer. Therefore, we cannot deny that in the Bible there is such a thing as pray-reading the Word. We need to read the Word and receive it by prayer. Throughout the centuries many saints have practiced this in principle. Some have said that we need to pray when we read the Bible. Others have pointed out that we should read the Bible prayerfully. To read the Bible prayerfully is to pray-read the Word. Many of the Lord’sp eople have practiced pray- reading without knowing this term. Spontaneously in coming to the Word they have prayed with the Word and over the Word. I believe that before you heard of pray- reading, you may have pray-read John 3:16. You may have read the words, “God so loved the world,” and then prayed, “O God, thank You for loving the world. Father, I thank You that You loved me. You even loved me to such an extent that You gave Your Son for me.” This is pray-reading.
运用我们的灵
EXERCISING OUR SPIRIT
20我们祷读主的话时，就运用了我们的灵。我们这些得救、重生的人，在我们灵里有神的灵。因此，我们祷读主的话，而运用我们的灵时，就将主的话应用到我们身上，并将话与灵调和。立刻，我们就接受那灵全备的供应。
20When we pray-read the Word, we exercise our spirit. As saved and regenerated ones, we have the Spirit of God in our spirit. Thus, when we exercise our spirit in pray- reading the Word, we apply the Word to us and mingle the Word and the Spirit. Immediately, we receive the bountiful supply of the Spirit
处方与药剂
THE PRESCRIPTION AND THE DOSE
21圣经启示基督是神，也是神的具体化身。有一天，基督成了人。祂在地上的年间，过最高的人性生活。藉著祂的钉死与复活，祂的人性被拔高，并被带进神性里。主耶稣在地上过了奇妙且完全的生活，然后上十字架，为我们的罪在那里受死，成就完满、完整、且完全的救赎。第三天，祂复活了。在祂的升天里，祂得著荣耀、冠冕，并且登了宝座；祂得著作元首的身分、作主的身分、以及君王的职分。除了这三件要紧的事，圣经也启示，基督在复活里成了赐生命的灵。（林前十五45。）现今这赐生命的灵住在我们重生的灵里。赐生命的灵包含了：基督的神性；祂被拔高、复活的人性；祂完全的人性生活，就是神的彰显；祂包罗万有之死的功效，为著完成救赎；祂复活的大能，将神圣的生命和性情、并基督被拔高的属人性情，分赐到我们里面；以及祂的升天，带著祂作元首的身分、作主的身分、和君王的职分。这一切都是复合之灵的元素。然而，我们若没有圣经，就不会知道这些事。我们不会知道这包罗万有的药剂里包含甚么成分。哦，何等奇妙的丰富构成那灵全备的供应！我们可将全备供应里的丰富应用到我们一切的景况中。
21The Bible reveals that Christ is God and also the embodiment of God. One day, Christ became a man. During His years on earth, He lived the highest human life. Through His crucifixion and resurrection, His humanity was uplifted and brought into divinity. After living a marvelous and perfect life on earth, the Lord Jesus went to the cross and died there for our sins, accomplishing a full, complete, and perfect redemption. On the third day, He was resurrected. In His ascension He was glorified, crowned, and enthroned; He received the headship, the lordship, and the kingship. In addition to these crucial matters, the Bible also reveals that Christ in His resurrection became the life-giving Spirit (1 Cor. 15:45). Now this life-giving Spirit indwells our regenerated spirit. The life - giving Spirit contains Christ’s divinity, His uplifted resurrected humanity, His perfect human living which was the expression of God, the effectiveness of His all - inclusive death for the accomplishment of redemption, the power of His resurrection which imparts into us the divine life and nature and Christ’sup lifted human nature, and His ascension with His headship, lordship, and kingship. All these are elements of the compound Spirit. However, if we did not have the Bible, we would not know about these things. We would not know what ingredients are contained in this all - inclusive dose. Oh, what marvelous riches constitute the bountiful supply of the Spirit! We may apply the riches in the bountiful supply to all our circumstances.
22赞美主，我们有那灵与话！我们曾一再指出，那灵与话是一。话是处方，那灵是应用。藉著读主的话，我们就知道我们在那灵全备的供应里所接受的是甚么。藉著话我们领悟，我们乃是接受基督的神性、人性、人性生活、包罗万有的死、复活与升天。不但如此，我们领会，我们乃是与作元首、作主、作君王的基督是一。这一切元素都包括在复合的灵里。这一切都是那灵全备供应的各方面。阿利路亚，现今我们可以藉著那灵接受话而活基督！
22Praise the Lord that we have the Spirit and the Word! As we have pointed out repeatedly, the Spirit and the Word are one. The Word is the prescription, and the Spirit is the application. Through reading the Word we know what we are receiving in the bountiful supply of the Spirit. Through the Word we realize that we receive Christ’s divinity, humanity, human living, all-inclusive death, resurrection, and ascension. Furthermore, we understand that we are one with Christ in His headship, lordship, and kingship. All these elements are included in the compound Spirit. All are aspects of the bountiful supply of the Spirit. Hallelujah, we may now live Christ by receiving the Word through the Spirit
