15这样的圣别就是神圣的子化我们,使我们成为神的众子,好叫我们在神的生命和性情上(但不是在祂的神格上)与祂一样,以致我们能成为神的彰显。因此,圣别乃是神圣的子化。……我们没有神的神格,也不能有神的神格,但我们的确有神的生命和性情,使我们能成为神的彰显。原则上,儿子是父亲的彰显。父神圣别我们,以子化我们,把我们作成祂的众子好彰显祂。……我们重生以后,还需要长大好达到成熟。当我们的魂完全子化时,我们就成熟了。至终,我们那仍然满了软弱、疾病、情欲、罪恶的身体,就要完全改变形状,得着荣耀。
15Such a sanctification is to “sonize” us divinely, making us sons of God in order that we may become the same as God in His life and in His nature (but not in His Godhead) so that we can be God’s expression. Hence, sanctification is the divine sonizing…We do not have and we cannot have God’s Godhead, but we do have God’s life and nature so that we may be God’s expression. A son, in principle, is the expression of the father. God the Father sanctifies us to sonize us, to make us His sons for His expression…After being regenerated we need to grow to reach maturity. We become mature when our soul is fully sonized. Eventually, our body, which is still full of weakness, sickness, lust, and sinfulness, will be transfigured, glorified in full.
