20歌罗西三章一至四节含示，我们与基督同有一个地位，一个生命，一个生活，一个定命和一个荣耀。因着我们与基督有同一的地位，所以祂在哪里，我们就在哪里。…祂所有的生命，我们也有。再者，我们与基督同有一个生活；…如果我们天天实际的与基督同过一个生活，就我们无论作什么，祂也作什么。这意思是说，我们谈话，祂也谈话。…〔倘若〕我们生气，但基督不生气，那时我们就不是与祂同过一个生活；在这种情况之下，我们的生活就不是祂的生活。我们都该不发脾气，不是因着我们想要遵守圣经的命令，乃是因为我们觉得那活在我们里面的基督不发脾气。如果我们只想办法控制脾气，这就是宗教。但如果我们因着与基督同活而不发脾气，我们就在生命上并在生活上与祂成为一了。
20Colossians 3:1-4 implies that with Christ we have one position, one life, one living, one destiny, and one glory. Because we and Christ have one position, we are where He is…The life He has we have also. Moreover, we have one living with Christ…If we have one living with Christ in a practical way day by day, then whatever we do, He does also. This means that when we talk, He talks…If we become angry and Christ is not angry, we do not have one living with Him at that particular time. In such a case, our living is not His living. We should refrain from losing our temper not because we are trying to obey a biblical command but because we sense that the Christ who lives in us is not losing His temper. If we simply try to control our temper, we are religious. But if we do not lose our temper because we are living with Christ, then we are one with Him in life and in living.
