12在彼前一章九节,魂的救恩就是我们信心的结果。尽管我们的灵已经得救,我们的魂仍在天天得救。我们的救恩还未完成,还未达到信心的结果,就是魂的救恩。这意思是,基督再来的时候,我们的魂要得救到极点,被带进对基督更高的享受。照着马太二十五章,基督再来时要对作为忠信奴仆的信徒说,“进来享受你主人的快乐。”(21、23)在要来的千年国里,与主同享祂的快乐,乃是我们魂的救恩。尽管不信者自由地享受一切属世的宴乐,我们信徒却不能这么作。就这面说,我们的魂在受苦。但主回来的时候,我们的魂要得救进入祂的快乐,在祂的国度里享受祂到极点。这将是我们信心的结果,就是我们信心过程的终结(新约总论第十三册,一九二至一九三页)。
12In 1 Peter 1:9 the salvation of our soul is the end of our faith. Although in our spirit we have been saved, in our soul we are being saved day by day. Our salvation has not yet reached its completion, that is, the end of our faith, the salvation of our soul. This means that at the second coming of Christ, our soul will be saved to the uttermost and will be brought into a higher enjoyment of Christ. According to Matthew 25, Christ at His coming back will say to the believers who are faithful slaves, “Enter into the joy of your master” (vv. 21, 23). To partake of the Lord’s joy with Him in the coming millennial kingdom is the salvation of our soul. Although the unbelievers freely enjoy all the pleasures of the world, we believers cannot. In this sense, our soul is suffering. But when the Lord comes back, our soul will be saved into His joy to enjoy Him to the uttermost in His kingdom. That will be the end of our faith, the consummation of the process of our faith. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, pp. 3855-3856)
