纲目
2壹 神永远的经纶乃是祂的家庭行政,要在基督里将衪自己分賜到衪所拣选的人里面,使祂得着一个家彰显祂自己,这家就是召会——基督的身体;神永远的经纶乃是衪永远的计划,而祂神圣的分赐乃是祂完成祂计划的凭借——提前一3~4三15罗十二5弗一10三8~9二10
2
3一 基督是神经纶的中心、圆周、元素、范围、凭借、目标和目的;事实上,神永远经纶的一切内容就是基督——太十七5弗三6路二四44
3
4二 除非我们认识神的经纶,否则我们就无法明白圣经;圣经的中心题目乃是神的经纶,整本圣经都是关乎神的经纶——45节,伯十13,参弗三9
4
5三 神的经纶就是要将神自己分赐到我们里面,使我们这人由祂的所是构成;这唯有借着神将祂自己这神圣的生命分赐到我们里面,才能完成——约十10十四6上林前十五45下罗八2610~11
5
6四 新约职事中的领导,乃是神所赐关于神永远经纶那控制之启示的领导——徒二六19箴二九18
6
7五 与神的经纶不同的教训,使我们离开对那位作我们生命和一切的主耶稣基督这宝贵人位真正的珍赏、爱和享受(林后十一2~3);异议者不同的教训(提前一3)引起信徒中间的嫉妒与不合,这违反使徒关于留在神经纶教训里之嘱附的目的(目标),就是爱(5,约十三34加五13~14)。
7
8六 神的神圣分赐把信徒作成神,使他们在生命和性情上,但不在神格上,成为神,好建造召会作基督的身体,并预备基督的新妇,以引进基督的国;为这缘故,神来成为一个人,使祂自己“人化”了;然后祂将自己作为生命分赐到我们里面,使我们在祂的生命和性情上“神化”了,但无分于祂的神格。
8
9七 神在祂经纶里的目的,是要把祂自己在祂神圣的三一——父、子、灵——里,分赐到祂所拣选的人里面;神在时间里唯一的目标,是要把祂自己一天过一天地分赐到我们里面。

10提前一3~4 我往马其顿去的时候,曾劝你仍住在以弗所,好嘱咐那几个人,不可教导与神的经纶不同的事,也不可注意虚构无稽之事,和无穷的家谱;这等事只引起辩论,对于神在信仰里的经纶并无助益。
101 Tim. 1:3-4 Even as I exhorted you, when I was going into Macedonia, to remain in Ephesus in order that you might charge certain ones not to teach different things nor to give heed to myths and unending genealogies, which produce questionings rather than God’s economy, which is in faith.
11提摩太前书是论到神的经纶。在保罗的时代,有些人在教导与神的经纶不同的事。保罗告诉我们,我们必须将这一切不同的教训放在一边,并回到神的经纶。神的经纶就是祂的家庭行政,祂的计划,要将祂自己分赐到我们里面。祂的分赐产生敬虔的生活。
11First Timothy is dealing with God’s economy. At Paul’s time some were teaching different things other than God’s economy. Paul told us that we have to put all these different teachings aside and come back to the economy of God. God’s economy is His household administration, His plan, to dispense Himself into us. His dispensing produces a life of godliness.
12这样来自神的分赐的敬虔生活,在于操练我们的灵;……敬虔的生活来自神的分赐,但神不是将自己分赐到无生命的器皿里,……〔而是〕分赐到我们这些活的器皿里。我们已经有自己的口味、拣选、偏好、感觉、思想、头脑、意志等;我们若不刚强地操练我们的灵,与主合作,神就无法将自己分赐到我们里面。我们的灵不仅是接受的器官,保留的器官,也是为着神分赐的入口。我们的灵大大敞开的时候,我们的全人就敞开。然后神就有路将自己分赐到我们里面。神的分赐在于我们的配合,我们的配合就是操练我们的灵(李常受文集一九七九年第一册,八○三至八○四页)。
12Such a godly life issuing from God’s dispensing depends upon the exercise of our spirit…A godly life comes out of God’s dispensing, but God is not dispensing Himself into lifeless vessels…[but] into us, the living vessels, who already have our own taste, choice, preference, feeling, thinking, mentality, will, etc. If we do not exercise our spirit strongly to cooperate with the Lord, God cannot dispense Himself into us. Our spirit is not only the receiving organ, the retaining organ, but also the opening for God’s dispensing. When our spirit opens wide, our whole being opens. Then God has a way to impart Himself into us. God’s dispensing depends upon our coordination, and our coordination is the exercise of our spirit. (CWWL, 1979, vol. 1, “Basic Lessons on Life,” p. 599)

Today's Reading
13圣经包括六十六卷书,开始于创世记的神和神的创造,终极完成于启示录的新耶路撒冷;在圣经这两端之间,有许多的历史、教训、预言和预表。我们若只照着这些事来明白圣经,就仍不认识圣经。我们需要看见,神永远的经纶,就是神永远的目的同祂心头的愿望,要将祂自己在祂神圣的三一里,作为父在子里借着那灵,分赐到祂所拣选的人里面,作他们的生命和性情,使他们与祂一样,作祂的丰满,祂的彰显。
13The Bible, which consists of sixty-six books, begins with God and His creation in Genesis and consummates with the New Jerusalem in Revelation. Between these two ends of the Bible, there are history, teachings, prophecies, and types. But if we understand the Bible only according to these things, we still do not know the Bible. We need to see the eternal economy of God, which is God’s eternal intention with His heart’s desire to dispense Himself in His Divine Trinity as the Father in the Son by the Spirit into His chosen people to be their life and nature that they may be the same as He is for His fullness, His expression.
14经纶是为着分赐而执行一项计划的安排。神的经纶是神的计划、神的安排,要把祂自己,祂的元素、生命、性情、属性,以及祂所完成、所达到的一切,都分赐到祂所拣选的人里面,使他们在神圣源头的神圣元素里,由神圣的素质所构成,而重新被建造,好成为神圣的。……神用神圣的构成重新建造我们之后,我们就像主耶稣一样,在人性里带着神性,也在神性里带着人性。基督在成为肉体之前只有神性,但在成为肉体之后成了神人,就是带着神性的人。现今祂在人性里带着神性,又在神性里带着人性。我们借着基督得了重生,成为祂的一部分,如今也与祂一样,在人性里带着神性,又在神性里带着人性。
14An economy is an arrangement to carry out a plan for dispensing. God’s economy is God’s plan, God’s arrangement, for God to dispense Himself in His element, life, nature, and attributes, and all that He has achieved and attained into His chosen people that they may be rebuilt by being constituted with the divine essence in the divine element of the divine source to be something divine…After God’s rebuilding with the divine constitution we, like the Lord Jesus, become divinely human and humanly divine. Before incarnation Christ was only divine, but after His incarnation He became a God-man, a man with the divine nature. Now He is divinely human, and He is also humanly divine. Having been regenerated by Christ, we have become a part of Him, and now we are the same as He is—divinely human and humanly divine.
15重生的人在人性里带着神性,又在神性里带着人性,自然而然成了一个生机体,就是基督的身体;基督的身体就是神的召会作神新造里的新人,以完成神的新“事业”,就是建造基督的身体,作三一神的丰满和彰显。这丰满乃是三一神的生机体,要终极完成于新耶路撒冷。圣经开始于神在祂的创造里,这乃是起初;圣经结束于新耶路撒冷,就是三一神和一切祂所拣选、救赎、重生、变化、模成并荣化之三部分人的调和。因此,新耶路撒冷乃是神和人的构成,要彰显神,直到永远。……这样的看见,就是对整本圣经的概览。我们读圣经时,需要将我们的注意力集中在神那为着神圣分赐的永远经纶上。除非我们认识神的经纶,否则我们就无法明白圣经(约伯记生命读经,六五至六七页)。
15The regenerated ones, who are divinely human and humanly divine, spontaneously become an organism, the Body of Christ, which is the church of God as the new man in God’s new creation to carry out God’s new “career,” that is, to build up the Body of Christ for the fullness, the expression, of the Triune God. This fullness as the organism of the Triune God will consummate in the New Jerusalem. The Bible begins with God in His creation as the initiation and ends with the New Jerusalem, which is the mingling of the Triune God and all His chosen, redeemed, regenerated, transformed, conformed, and glorified tripartite people. The New Jerusalem is thus a constitution of God with man to express God for eternity. To see this is to have an overview of the entire Bible. In our reading of the Bible, we need to focus our attention on God’s eternal economy for the divine dispensing. Unless we know God’s economy, we will not understand the Bible. (Life-study of Job, pp. 57-58)

今日要点
17主题:看见神永远经纶的异象,而活在神永远经纶的实际里
17
18引经:提前一3~4
18
191.保罗要提摩太顾到神的经纶:
19
20A.在保罗的时代,有些人在教导与神经纶不同的事,所以在提摩太前书,保罗劝提摩太仍留在以弗所,第一件提到的,就是提前一3~4,保罗要提摩太顾到神的经纶,他所摆出来的,乃是神的经纶对抗不同的教训。
20
21B.提前一4里神的『经纶』,原文是由oikos和nomos两个希腊字组成,οἶκος(oikos)意思是家庭,νόμος(nomos)意思是行政,这字与νομή(nome)草场是同源字,因此这字指家庭管理,家庭行政,引伸为行政分配的安排,计划,或经纶;『经纶』在辞海的定义是:『以治丝之事,喻规划政治也。』朱熹说:『经者,理其绪而分之;纶者,比起类而合之。』所以『经纶』在中文的解释上有规划、治理天下政治之意义。
21
222.看见神永远经纶的异象:
22
23A.神永远的经纶乃是祂的家庭行政,要在基督里将祂自己分赐到祂所拣选的人里面,使祂得着一个家彰显祂自己,这家就是召会一基督的身体;神永远的经纶乃是祂永远的计划,而祂神圣的分赐乃是祂完成祂计划的凭藉,因召会不同的教训,使人偏离基督,这很严肃,因为基督乃是神经纶的中心、圆周、元素、范围、凭藉、目标和目的,神的经纶就是要将神自己在基督里作生命,分赐到我们里面,使我们由祂的所是所构成。
23
24B. 然而,异议者传讲与神经纶不同的教训,就使人离开对那位作我们生命和壹切的主耶稣基督这宝贵的人位真正的珍赏、爱和享受,所以保罗嘱咐的目的乃是爱,以弗所召会最终离弃保罗的教训,也就失去了对主起初的爱而败落了;所以,今天在恢复的召会,我们需要看见,神的神圣分赐,把信徒作成神,使信徒在生命和性情上,但不在神格上成为神,好建造召会作基督的身体,预备基督的新妇,以引进基督的国,这是神将自己人化,为使人神化的目的,这也是神在祂时间里惟一的目标;我们需要看见神经纶的异象。
24
25应用:我们不该照着人的逻辑、天然观念,甚至不该照着历史、教训、预言和豫表读经,而该照着神的经纶来明白圣经,将我们的注意力集中于神那为着神圣分赐的永远经纶上,并借着祷读、研读、背诵、讲说,借着这些圣经的话接受神圣的分赐,而使我们活在神永远经纶的实际里。
