6约一12~13 凡接受祂的,就是信入祂名的人,祂就赐他们权柄,成为神的儿女。这等人……乃是从神生的。
6John 1:12-13 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the authority to become children of God, to those who believe into His name, who were begotten...of God.
7彼后一4 ……祂已将又宝贵又极大的应许赐给我们,叫你们……借着这些应许,得有分于神的性情。
72 Pet. 1:4 ...He has granted to us precious and exceedingly great promises that through these you might become partakers of the divine nature...
8神当初所造的人,像一个器皿,……为着是要让神自己能装到里面。然而,在神还没有装到人里面之先,人自己就污秽、败坏了;所以神来救赎,把人赎回,并且洗净。但这不过是手续,并不是神的目的。
8When God created man, He created him as a vessel...God’s purpose is to fill up this vessel with Himself. However, before God filled man up, man became defiled and corrupted. Hence, God came to redeem man and cleanse him. But this is only the means; it is not God’s goal.
9神最终的目的,乃是要把祂自己作到我们里面,作我们的生命、一切,作到一个地步,使我们能成为祂;但这不是说我们就成为神,和独一的神一样了。……我们虽然是从神生的,有祂的生命,成为祂的儿女,作祂的家、家人,我们却没有神那主宰一切、受人敬拜的身位(李常受文集一九九○年第三册,四九四至四九五页)。
9The ultimate purpose of God is to work Himself into us in order that He may be our life and everything to us so that one day we can become Him. But this does not mean that we can become part of the Godhead and be the same as the unique God...Although we are born of God and have God’s life to become God’s children, His house, and His household, we do not have a share in His sovereignty or His person and cannot be worshipped as God. (CWWL, 1990, vol. 3, “A Deeper Study of the Divine Dispensing,” pp. 390-391)
信息选读
Today’s Reading
10在召会的历史上,第二世纪开始时,那些初期讲解圣经的教父们,在这件事上,甚至用了一个字,deification,意思是把人“神化”了。所以后来就有人反对,认为这是异端。但圣经约翰一章十二至十三节说,……我们信的人都是从神生的。从人生的就是人,从神生的也就是神。你我都是从神生的,所以我们也都是神。虽是这样,我们必须认识,我们没有神的身位,不能给人敬拜;有神的身位而当得人敬拜的,唯有神自己。
10In church history, beginning from the second century, some church fathers who were expounding the Bible used the term deification, which means to make man God. Later, they were opposed by others and were considered as heretics. But John 1:12-13 says...[that] we the believers are begotten of God. What is begotten of man is man, and what is begotten of God must be God. We are born of God; hence, in this sense we are God. Nevertheless, we must know that we do not share God’s person and cannot be worshipped by others. Only God Himself has the person of God and can be worshipped by man.
11传统的基督教观念是,神要我们得救的人作好,作属灵人,作圣人,但没有一种观念说,神要我们作神人。神成为肉体来到地上,就是一个神而人者,兼有神人二性的奇妙神人。至于我们,不仅为祂所造,祂还把祂自己生到我们里面,使我们每一个人都有神的生命和性情,成了神的儿女(彼后一4)。所以我们这些神所生的人,也都是神人。
11The traditional concept in Christianity is that God wants us, the saved ones, to be good, to be spiritual, and to be holy, but there is no concept that God wants us to be God-men. When God became flesh and came to earth, He was both God and man, a wonderful God-man, having both divinity and humanity. As for us, we are not only created by Him, but we have Him begotten into us so that every one of us has God’s life and nature, and we are now God’s children (2 Pet. 1:4). Therefore, as those begotten of God, we are all God-men.
12神的经纶、计划就是要把祂自己作成人,又把我们这些祂所造的人作成“神”,叫祂自己“人化”,叫我们众人“神化”。结果,祂和我们,我们和祂,都成了神人。所以作好人、作属灵人、作圣人是不够的。……不要盼望修改自己,因为神不要你作好人,祂要你作神人。祂是你的生命和一切,目的就是要你能彰显祂,活出祂来。
12God’s economy and plan is to make Himself man and to make us, His created beings, “God” so that He is “man-ized” and we are “God-ized.” In the end He and we, we and He, all become God-men. Hence, it is not enough for us to be good men, spiritual men, or holy men...God does not expect us to improve ourselves, because God is not after our being good men. He wants us to be God-men. He is our life and everything to us for the purpose that we would express Him and live Him out.
13神当初造我们时,是按着祂自己的形像和样式;我们犹如祂的一张照片,有祂的形像,但没有祂的生命。等到我们重生以后,我们这张照片就成了“真人”,有祂的生命、性情,和祂一样。祂是神“化成人”,我们是人“化成神”,结果二人成为一人,都是神人。
13When God created us, He created us in His image and according to His likeness. We are like a picture that has His image but is without His life. After we are regenerated, this picture becomes the “real” person, having His life and nature, and being the same as He is. He is God “man-ized,” and we are man “God-ized.” In the end the two become one, both being God-men.
14为此,我们需要操练自己,作个神人。……神重生了我们,叫我们得着祂的生命,有祂的性情,并且得以在祂的生命中长大。神在我们里面增长,我们就长大了(西二19)。我们要让神在我们里面加多,就必须操练我们的灵,因为神之于人一切正常故事,全都在灵里。我们越操练我们的灵,神就越在我们里面运行、加多;结果,我们就能长大成人,成为一个真正的神人。这是神所要的(李常受文集一九九○年第三册,四九五至四九七页)。
14For this reason we have to exercise ourselves to be God-men...God begot us so that we can receive His life and nature and can grow in His life. When God grows within us, we grow (Col. 2:19). In order for God to increase within us, we have to exercise our spirit because every proper thing that goes on between God and man depends on the spirit. The more we exercise our spirit, the more God operates and increases within us. As a result, we grow up to become genuine God-men. This is what God is after. (CWWL, 1990, vol. 3, “A Deeper Study of the Divine Dispensing,” pp. 391-392)
15参读:时代的异象,第二篇;长老训练第五册—关于主今日行动的交通,第一章。

今日要点
16主题:神永远的经纶乃是要使人成为神
16
17引经:约一12~13彼后一4
17
181.我们所该关注、强调并供应惟一的事—神永远经纶的异象:
18
19A.在主的恢复里,我们所该关注、强调并供应的那一件事,惟一的事,乃是神永远经纶的属天异象,所以,要按照神对召会的经纶生活并事奉,今天我们必须认识,圣经的中心题目就是神的经纶,这也是保罗写提摩太前书的负担,因此,我们需要按照神经纶的属天异象来生活并事奉。
19
20B.神的经纶,神的计划就是要把祂自己作成「人」,使祂「人化」,并把我们这些祂所造的人作成「神」,使我们「神化」,使人在生命和性情上,但不在神格上成为神,以建造基督的身体,终极完成新耶路撒冷,以完成神永远的经纶。
20
212.神的经纶就是要使人成为神:
21
22A.神当初造人如器皿,但在盛装神之前,这器皿就污秽、败坏了,所以神成为人,不仅来救赎,更是要把祂作到人里面,作生命和一切,在约一12~13指出,我们信徒成为神的儿女,不是领养的,而是从神生的,是由神所生的儿女,有祂的生命,但我们作为祂的家人,却没有神那主宰一切、受人敬拜的身位。
22
23B.不仅有分神的生命,在彼后一4也指出,我们这些满了邪情私欲的罪人,竟得有分于神的性情,意思是,我们能得着祂的性情,像祂一样的圣别,今天召会需要的,不是教导许多在外面改良自己的教训,而是需要更多的神分赐到召会信徒里面,使信徒成为神人,这就是神的经纶。
23
24应用:我们需要向着祂的分赐敞开,操练我们的灵,作敞开的器皿,好让神更多在我们里面运行、加多,而在祂的生命中长大,以神的增长而长大。
