纲目
1伍 享受基督作美地的凭借是神活而有功效的话,『比一切两刃的剑更锋利,能以刺入、甚至剖开魂与灵,骨节与骨髓,连心中的思念和主意都能办明』—来四12
1
2一 以色列人在我们有分于神完满的救恩上是我们新约信徒的豫表(林前十6上11):
2
31 在第一阶段,我们接受基督,得救赎并蒙拯救脱离世界,正如以色列人蒙拯救脱离埃及一样。
3
42 在第二阶段,我们在跟随主时,成了飘流的人,正如以色列人在旷野飘流;我们的飘流总是发生在我们的魂里。
4
53 在第三阶段,我们完满的有分于并享受基督,正如以色列人有分于并享受美地的丰富一样;这是在我们的灵里经历的。
5
64 希伯来信徒魂里犹疑,不知如何对待他们的希伯来宗教;这种在心思里的犹疑,就是在魂里游荡,并不是在灵里经历基督。
6
7二 希伯来书的作者劝勉希伯来的信徒,不要留在魂里游荡,乃要竭力进入灵里,有分于并享受属天的基督:
7
81 那在天上坐在宝座上的基督,(罗八34,)现在也在我们里面,(10,)也就是在我们灵里,(提后四22,)这灵就是神居住的所在。 (弗二22。)
8
92 伯特利是神的家,神的居所,也是天的门;在那里基督是梯子,将地联于天,并将天带到地;(创二八12~17约一51;)我们的灵今天既是神居住的所在,现今也就是天的门,在这寝基督是梯子,把我们在地上的人联于天,并把天带给我们。
9
103 因此,每当我们转到灵里,我们就能借着基督作天梯,进入天的门,摸着天上施恩的宝座—来四16
10
114 那些犹豫徘徊的希伯来信徒,是在他们的魂里游荡,而忽畧了他们的灵,但新约完全是灵里的事,而不是在魂里—罗八16提后四22加六18
11
12三 希伯来信徒的魂及其犹疑的心思,怀疑神救恩的法则,考虑到自己的利益,必须被神活的、有功效、能刺入的话破碎,好使他们的魂与灵分开—来四12
12
131 骨髓如何深藏在骨节里,灵也照样深藏在魂里;要使骨髓与骨节分开,主要的是骨节必须破碎,照样,要使灵与魂分开,魂也必须破碎—彼前三4
13
142 每当我们读圣经时,神的话对我们都该是活的、有能力的,并且锋利到一个地步,足以把我们的灵与魂剖开,并且办明我们的思念和主意,显示什么是出乎自己并为着自己的,什么是出乎神并为着神的;我们必须在灵里借着各样的祷告,用信与话调和,使话成为活而有功效的—来四2弗六17~18
14
153 神活的话必须刺入我们里面,拯救我们脱离犹疑的心思和飘荡的魂,使我们进入我们灵里基督这安息日的安息;我们不该留在魂里游荡徘徊,乃需要否认魂,并竭力进入灵里,有分于并享受属天的基督,使我们能在千年国里,在祂作王时有分于国度的安息。

16来四12 因为神的话是活的,是有功效的,比一切两刃的剑更锋利,能以刺入、甚至剖开魂与灵,骨节与骨髓,连心中的思念和主意都能辨明。
16Heb. 4:12 For the word of God is living and operative and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit and of joints and marrow, and able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
17提后四22 愿主与你的灵同在。愿恩典与你们同在。
172 Tim. 4:22 The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you.
18照圣经看,人有三部分:灵、魂、体(帖前五23)。希伯来四章十二节说到骨节与骨髓,是体的部分;也说到魂与灵。
18According to the Bible, man is a tripartite being—spirit, soul, and body (1 Thes. 5:23). [In Hebrews 4:12] are the joints and marrow—which are parts of the body—and the soul and spirit.
19就〔以色列人〕而言,有三个地方:(一)埃及,是他们被救出之地;(二)旷野,是他们飘流之地;(三)迦南,是他们进入之地。他们在这三地的历史,表征他们有分于神完全救恩的三个阶段。这预表我们新约信徒有分于神完全的救恩(圣经恢复本,来四12注2)。
19With [the children of Israel] there were three places: (1) Egypt, from which they were delivered; (2) the wilderness, in which they wandered; and (3) Canaan, into which they entered. Their history in these three places signifies the three stages of their participation in God’s full salvation. This is a type of us, the New Testament believers, in our participation in the full salvation of God. (Heb. 4:12, footnote 2)

20第一阶段,我们接受基督,得救赎并蒙拯救脱离世界。第二阶段,我们在跟随主时,成了飘流的人,这种飘流总是发生在我们的魂里。第三阶段,我们完满地有分于并享受基督,这是我们在灵里所经历的。我们追求物质的享受和罪中之乐,就是在埃及所预表的世界中。我们在魂里飘流,就是在旷野。我们在灵里享受基督,就是在迦南。……接受希伯来书的希伯来信徒,当时正不知如何对待他们老旧的希伯来宗教,这种在心思里的犹疑,就是在魂里游荡,并不是在灵里经历基督。……要使骨髓与骨节分开〔四12〕,主要的是骨节必须破碎。同样的原则,要使灵与魂分开,魂也必须破碎。希伯来信徒的魂及其犹疑的心思,怀疑神救恩的法则,考虑到自己的利益,必须被神活的、有功效、能刺入的话破碎,好使他们的灵与魂分开。
20In the first stage we receive Christ and are redeemed and delivered from the world. In the second stage we become wanderers in following the Lord; our wandering always takes place in our soul. In the third stage we partake of and enjoy Christ in a full way; this is experienced in our spirit. When we pursue the pleasures of material and sinful things, we are in the world, typified by Egypt. When we wander in our soul, we are in the wilderness. When we enjoy Christ in our spirit, we are in Canaan…The receivers of [the book of Hebrews], the Hebrew believers, were wondering what they should do with their old Hebrew religion. This wondering in their mind was a wandering in their soul, not an experience of Christ in their spirit… The dividing of the marrow from the joints (4:12) requires mainly the breaking of the joints. In the same principle, the dividing of the spirit from the soul requires the breaking of the soul. The Hebrew believers’ soul, with its wondering mind, its doubting concerning God’s way of salvation, and its considering of its own interests, had to be broken by the living, operative, and piercing word of God that their spirit might be divided from their soul.
21我们的魂就是我们的己(太十六26,比路九25)。我们跟从主,必须否认我们的魂,就是我们的己(太十六24路九23)。我们的灵是我们全人最深的部分,是我们接触神的属灵器官(约四24罗一9)。在我们的灵里,我们蒙了重生(约三6);在我们的灵里,圣灵居住并作工(罗八16);在我们的灵里,我们享受基督和祂的恩典(提后四22加六18)。因此,希伯来书的作者劝勉希伯来的信徒,不要留在魂里游荡,这魂是他们必须否认的。他们该竭力进入灵里,有分于并享受属天的基督,使他们能在千年国里,在祂作王时有分于国度的安息。
21Our soul is our very self (Matt. 16:25; cf. Luke 9:25). In following the Lord we must deny our soul, our very self (Matt. 16:24; Luke 9:23). Our spirit is the deepest part of our being, a spiritual organ with which we contact God (John 4:24; Rom. 1:9). It is in our spirit that we are regenerated (John 3:6). It is in our spirit that the Holy Spirit dwells and works (Rom. 8:16). It is in our spirit that we enjoy Christ and His grace (2 Tim. 4:22; Gal. 6:18). Hence, the writer of this book advised the Hebrew believers not to stagger in the wandering of their soul, which soul they had to deny, but to press on into their spirit to partake of and enjoy the heavenly Christ that they might participate in the kingdom rest of His reign in the millennium.
22我们的灵是我们接触神的器官(约四24),我们的心是我们爱神的器官(可十二30)。我们的灵接触、接受、盛装并经历神,但需要我们的心先爱神。我们的魂有三部分—心思、意志和情感;我们的灵也有三部分—良心、交通和直觉。我们的心不是与魂和灵分开的,乃是由魂的各部分,加上灵的良心所组成的。因此,我们的心里有带着思念的心思,以及带着主意的意志。思念影响主意,而主意实现思念。神的活话能辨明我们心思里的思念,和意志里的主意。当希伯来的信徒在救恩的过程中徘徊时,作者在前面的经文中所引用神的话,能把他们的思念和主意显露出来(圣经恢复本,来四12注2,注3)。
22Our spirit is the organ with which we contact God (John 4:24), while our heart is the organ with which we love God (Mark 12:30). Our spirit contacts, receives, contains, and experiences God. However, this requires that our heart love God first. Our soul is of three parts—mind, will, and emotion; and our spirit too is of three parts—conscience, fellowship, and intuition. Our heart is not separate from our soul and spirit but is a composition of all the parts of our soul, plus the conscience, a part of our spirit. Hence, in our heart is the mind, with the thoughts, and the will, with the intentions. The thoughts affect the intentions, and the intentions carry out the thoughts. The living word of God is able to discern the thoughts in our mind and the intentions in our will. What was quoted from the word of God by the writer in the foregoing verses was able to expose what and where the thoughts and intentions of the Hebrew believers were while they were staggering in the process of their salvation. (Heb. 4:12, footnotes 2 and 3)

今日要点
24主题:享受基督作美地的凭藉-神活而有功效的话
24
25引经:来四12提后四22
25
261.从飘流的旷野到安息的美地之豫表:
26
27A.今天,我们要享受基督作美地,作安息日的安息,需要有一个重要的凭藉,就是来四12,『比一切两刃的剑更锋利,能以刺入、甚至剖开魂与灵,骨节与骨髓,连心中的思念和主意都能辨明』;以色列人在我们有分神完满的救恩上是我们新约信徒的豫表。
27
28B.照圣经看,人有三部分,灵、魂、体,来四12说到骨节与骨髓,是体的部分,也说到魂与灵,而就着以色列人而言,也有三个地方,第一,埃及,为奴并被拯救之地,第二,旷野,飘流之地,第三,迦南,是他们进入之地,他们在这三地的历史,表征他们有分于神完全救恩的三个阶段。
28
292.经历神完全救恩的三个阶段:
29
30a.在第一阶段,我们接受基督,得救赎并蒙拯救脱离世界,正如以色列人蒙拯救脱离埃及,在第二阶段,我们跟随主时,成了漂流的人,正如以色列人在旷野漂流,这种飘流总发生在我们魂里,而在第三阶段,我们完满的有分并享受基督,正如以色列人有分于并享受美地的丰富,这乃是在灵里经历的。
30
31b.因着希伯来信徒在魂里犹疑,没有在灵里经历基督作为美地,作为安息日的安息,所以作者劝勉信徒,不要在魂里游荡,乃要竭力进入灵里,有分并享受属天的基督,今天那坐在天上的基督,现在也在我们里面,也就是在我们灵里。
31
32应用:借着祷告读主的话,使我们能够经历神活的、有功效的话,使我们能够辨明心中的思念和主意,而使我们留在经历神救恩的路上。
