神在信仰里的经纶那管制并支配的异象

第一篇　神在信仰里的经纶那管制并支配的异象
第一周　周二
纲目
1贰 神的经纶乃是神的家庭行政，要在基督里将祂自己分赐到祂所拣选并救赎的人里面，使祂得着一个家彰显祂自己，这家就是召会—基督的身体—提前一4，三15：
1Ⅱ God's economy is God's household administration, which is to dispense Himself in Christ into His chosen and redeemed people that He may have a house to express Himself, which house is the church, the Body of Christ—1 Tim. 1:4; 3:15:
2一 神的经纶，就是神的家庭行政，是要为祂儿子产生并构成一个身体—弗一22~23，二16，三6，四4、16，五30。
2A God's economy, as His household administration, is to produce and constitute a Body for His Son—Eph. 1:22-23; 2:16; 3:6; 4:4, 16; 5:30.
3二 圣经的中心题目乃是神的经纶，整本圣经都是关乎神的经纶—提前一4，弗一10：
3B The central subject of the Bible is the economy of God, and the entire Bible is concerned with the economy of God—1 Tim. 1:4; Eph. 1:10:
4１ 圣经中管制并支配的异象，乃是神圣的经纶—箴二九18上。
4１ The governing and controlling vision in the Bible is the divine economy—Prov. 29:18a.
5２ 我们读圣经时，必须将我们的注意力集中在那为着神圣分赐的神圣经纶—弗三9。
5２ In our reading of the Bible, we need to focus our attention on the divine economy for the divine dispensing—Eph. 3:9.
6３ 除非我们认识神的经纶，我们必无法明白圣经—路二四45。
6３ Unless we know God's economy, we will not understand the Bible—Luke 24:45.
7三 基督是神永远经纶的元素、范围、凭借、目标和目的，祂乃是神经纶中的一切—太十七5，路二四44。
7C Christ is the element, sphere, means, goal, and aim of God's eternal economy; He is everything in God's economy—Matt. 17:5; Luke 24:44.
8四 神的经纶就是要将神自己分赐到我们里面，使我们这人由祂的所是构成；这唯有借着神将祂自己作为神圣的生命分赐到我们里面，才能完成—弗三16~17上，罗八2、6、10~11。
8D God's economy is to dispense Himself into our being that our being may be constituted with His being; this can be accomplished only by God dispensing Himself into us as the divine life—Eph. 3:16-17a; Rom. 8:2, 6, 10-11.
9五 神的经纶就是神成肉体，经过人生，受死，复活，成为赐生命的灵，进到我们里面作生命，把神分赐到我们里面，使我们得变化，以产生召会，就是基督的身体，也就是神的家、神的国、基督的配偶，最终的集大成乃是新耶路撒冷—约一14、29，十二24，二十22，十四2，三3、5、29~30，启二一2。
9E The economy of God is that God became flesh, passed through human living, died, resurrected, and became the life-giving Spirit to enter into us as life and to dispense God into us so that we may be transformed for the producing of the church, which is the Body of Christ, the house of God, the kingdom of God, and the counterpart of Christ, the ultimate aggregate of which is the New Jerusalem—John 1:14, 29; 12:24; 20:22; 14:2; 3:3, 5, 29-30; Rev. 21:2.
10六 神的经纶乃是神成为人，使人在生命和性情上，但不在神格上，成为神，好产生基督生机的身体，这要终极完成于新耶路撒冷—罗八3，一3~4，十二4~5，启二一10。
10F God's economy is God becoming man that man may become God in life and nature but not in the Godhead to produce the organic Body of Christ, which will consummate in the New Jerusalem—Rom. 8:3; 1:3-4; 12:4-5; Rev. 21:10.

11弗三9 …将那历世历代隐藏在创造万有之神里的奥秘有何等的经纶，向众人照明。
11Eph. 3:9 …To enlighten all that they may see what the economy of the mystery is, which throughout the ages has been hidden in God, who created all things.
12一10 为着时期满足时的经纶，要将万有，无论是在诸天之上的，或是在地上的，都在基督里归一于一个元首之下。
121:10 Unto the economy of the fullness of the times, to head up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth, in Him.
13新约的启示，或说使徒们的教训，所讲的乃是神的经纶。根据提前一章三至四节，神的经纶可以说就是神新约启示的总称。…不同的教训就是指与神经纶不合的教训。那些人所讲的，虽有一些旧约的根据，但都是家谱、律法等，与神在信仰里的经纶不同。…这给我们看见，神的经纶就是新约的启示，也是使徒们的教训，乃是独一无二、完全并完整的，是不能加，也不能减的。我们今天在召会中施教，只能照着新约的启示，使徒们的教训来传讲；缺了就是不够，多了就是人的道理，而不是神经纶的话（李文集一九九四至一九九七年第二册，三四三至三四四页）。
13The New Testament revelation, the teaching of the apostles, is concerned with God’s economy. According to 1 Timothy 1:3-4, we may say that God’s economy is the general term for God’s New Testament revelation… Different teachings refer to teachings that are not in line with the economy of God. What certain ones taught, though somewhat based on the New Testament revelation, were genealogies and the law. These were different from God’s economy in faith… This shows us that God’s economy is the New Testament revelation, the teaching of the apostles. It is uniquely one, perfect, and complete. Nothing can be added to it or taken away from it. Today in the church we should teach only according to the New Testament revelation, which is the apostles’ teaching. Anything less than this is inadequate, and anything more than this is man’s teaching, not the words of God’s economy. (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 2, “The Governing and Controlling Vision in the Bible,” p. 276)

14基督的职事，有地上的职事，还有天上的职事。地上的职事是祂在肉身里完成的，是为着成功救赎。救赎一成功，祂就进到坟墓休息。然后在复活里，祂就变化成灵，开始祂天上的职事。祂成了灵，乃是为着把神自己分赐到人里面。这个分赐，就是祂自己进到我们里面来，…结果就产生召会。召会就是基督的身体；基督的身体就是神的家，神的国，也是基督的配偶，作祂的新妇；最终的完成乃是新耶路撒冷。
14The ministry of Christ consists of His earthly ministry and His heavenly ministry. He carried out the earthly ministry in His flesh for the accomplishment of redemption. Once He accomplished redemption, He entered into the tomb for rest. Then in resurrection He became the Spirit and thus began His heavenly ministry. He became the Spirit in order to dispense God Himself into people. This dispensing is He Himself coming into us… The issue of this dispensing is the church, which is the Body of Christ, the house of God, the kingdom of God, and the counterpart of Christ as His bride, the ultimate consummation of which is the New Jerusalem.
15神的经纶就是神成肉体，经过人生，死而复活，化身成灵，进到人里面，把神分赐到人里面，使人重生，结果就产生召会；这召会就是基督的身体，基督的继续，基督的扩充，基督的繁增，也是神的国，神的家，同时也是基督的配偶，作祂的新妇。这些加在一起，最终的完成就是新耶路撒冷。
15God’s economy is that God became flesh, passed through human living, died, and resurrected; then He became the Spirit and entered into men to dispense God into them for their regeneration, issuing in the church. The church as the Body of Christ is His continuation, enlargement, and multiplication; it is also the kingdom of God, the house of God, and at the same time the counterpart of Christ as His bride. The ultimate consummation of the totality of all these items is the New Jerusalem.
16你一看见神的经纶，就会作长老，就什么毛病都没有了。…我也和你们一样；你们有肉体，我也有肉体；你们软弱，我更软弱。你们有毛病，我比你们毛病更多，更麻烦。怎么作长老？就是要看见神成了肉体，经过人生，天天死，末了死在十字架上，然后复活，化身成灵。灵进到人里面，就把神分赐给人。你若看见这些，就会作长老。你若把这些话，好好祷告到你里面，你就会恍然大悟，知道怎么作长老。所以这是个管制的异象，也是个支配的异象。
16Once you see the economy of God, you will know how to be an elder, and all your troubles will be gone… I am just like you. You have the flesh; I also have the flesh. You are weak; I am weaker. You have troubles; I have more troubles, and my troubles are more complicated. How can you be an elder? You have to see that God became flesh, passed through human living, died daily, eventually died on the cross, and then resurrected and became the Spirit. This Spirit enters into us to dispense God into us. If you see these things, you will know how to be an elder. If you pray over these words and let them get into you, you will spontaneously realize how to be an elder. Hence, this is a governing vision and a controlling vision.
17你要学会讲：圣经有两部分，头一部分是预表、预言，第二部分是应验、成全。圣经所讲的一切都是为着应验、成全神的经纶。神的经纶就是神成肉体，经过人生，受死，复活，化身成灵，进到人里面作生命，把神分赐给人，叫人得变化，产生召会，就是基督的身体，也就是神的家、神的国、基督的配偶，最终的集大成就是新耶路撒冷。这就是圣经，也就是那管制并支配我们的异象（李文集一九九四至一九九七年第二册，三四九至三五一页）。
17You need to learn to say that the Bible has two sections: The first section is the types and prophecies, and the second section is the fulfillment and accomplishment. All the things referred to in the Bible are for the fulfillment and accomplishment of the economy of God. The economy of God is that God became flesh, passed through human living, died, resurrected, and became the Spirit to enter into us as life and dispense God into us that we may be transformed for the producing of the church, which is the Body of Christ, the house of God, the kingdom of God, and the counterpart of Christ, the ultimate aggregate of which is the New Jerusalem. This is the Bible, and this is the vision that governs and controls us. (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 2, “The Governing and Controlling Vision in the Bible,” pp. 281-282)
