纲目
1贰 神永远的定旨是要将祂自己分赐到衪所拣选并救赎的人里面，使他们在生命和性情上与祂一式一样，只是无分于神格，使祂得着扩大并扩展的彰显——弗一5、9、22～23，三9～11：
1
2一 约伯记留给我们一个双重的问题，关于神创造人以及神对付祂选民的目的——一1，十13，十三3～4：
2
31 对这个问题，答案乃是神永远的经纶，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，使他们成为与祂一样，作祂的丰满，就是祂的彰显——创一26，提前一3～4，弗一22～23，三9、19。

42 神对付爱祂的人，甚至使他们受损失，目的乃是要使他们最完满的得着祂，使祂能借着他们得以彰显，以成就祂造人的永远目的——罗八28～29，林后四16，参耶四八11。
4
5二 神创造万有（包括人），祂的心意是要人与神调和，以产生召会作基督的身体，好终极完成新耶路撒冷作祂荣耀的彰显——亚十二1，启四11，十九7，二一2。

6三 神永远的定旨，照着祂的心愿，是要得着召会成为基督生机的身体，以显明祂万般的智慧——弗一9～11、22～23，三9～11。

7弗三9~11 并将那历世历代隐藏在创造万有之神里的奥秘有何等的经纶，向众人照明，为要借着召会，使诸天界里执政的、掌权的，现今得知神万般的智慧，这是照着祂在我们的主基督耶稣里，所立的永远定旨。
7Eph. 3:9-11 And to enlighten all that they may see what the economy of the mystery is, which throughout the ages has been hidden in God, who created all things, in order that now to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenlies the multifarious wisdom of God might be made known through the church, according to the eternal purpose which He made in Christ Jesus our Lord.
8约伯记留给我们一个双重的紧要问题，关于神创造人以及神对付祂选民的目的。……这问题的答案……在旧约里找不到，唯有在新约里才有。神在祂的启示里所给的这答案，完全与三一神自己有关。
8The book of Job leaves us with a crucial twofold question concerning God’s intention in His creation of man and in His dealing with His chosen people…The answer to this question…is found not in the Old Testament but only in the New Testament. This answer, given by God in His revelation, is altogether concerned with the Triune God Himself.
9新约向我们揭示，神创造宇宙和万物，包括人在内，祂的目的是要将祂自己作到人里面。神要进到人里面，作人的内容，作人的生命、性情、生命供应和元素（约伯记生命读经，一○四页）。
9The New Testament unveils to us that God’s intention in His creation of the universe and of billions of items including man is to work Himself into man. God wants to enter into man to be man’s content and to be man’s life, nature, life supply, and element. (Life-study of Job, p. 91)

10圣经不是照着人的逻辑写的，乃是照着神的行动写的。神虽然在旧约里作了许多事，但祂没有行动。从亚当到基督，神留在祂的神性里，停留在永远里。……有一天神……从永远里出来，带着祂的神性进到时间里，并且进到一个童女的腹中，将自己与人性联结。这乃是神行动的头一步。第二步是祂从那个童女的腹中生出来，成为神人。祂留在童女的腹中九个月，就从那里出来，成为一个人，不仅带着神性，也带着人性，名叫耶稣。
10The Bible is not written according to human logic but according to God’s move. Although God did many things in the Old Testament, He did not move. Rather, from Adam to Christ, God remained in His divinity and stayed in eternity…But one day…God came out of eternity and entered with His divinity into time, entering into the womb of a human virgin to join Himself to humanity. This was the first step of God’s move. The second step was His being born of that human virgin to be the God-man. After staying in the womb of a human virgin for nine months, He came out of that womb, not only with divinity but also with humanity, to be a human being by the name of Jesus.
11这亲爱的一位，这位神人，兼有神人二性的神子耶稣基督，在地上过一个真正的人性生活。……主耶稣在祂地上生活的末了，到十字架上受死。
11This dear One, this God-man who is both divine and human, Jesus Christ the Son of God, lived a genuine human life on earth…At the end of His life on earth, the Lord Jesus went to the cross, and He died there.
12基督在十字架上完成祂的工作以后，就睡了，安息了（虽然在祂的死和复活之间祂也作了许多事）。然后祂从死人中起来，祂复活了。借着祂的复活，祂将祂的人性带到神性里（罗一3~4）。祂也生为神的长子，成为神众子中的头一位。在复活里，祂也成了赐生命的灵（林前十五45下）。……不仅如此，在基督的复活里，所有蒙神拣选的人，也重生成为神的众子（彼前一3）。……神这许多的儿子，就成了基督的许多肢体，构成基督的身体，就是神的召会（弗一22下~23）。这身体是新造里的新人，基督是这新人的每一个肢体（西三10~11）。这身体，这新人……至终……要扩大并终极完成为新耶路撒冷，作神的丰满，神团体的彰显，直到永远。
12After Christ finished His work on the cross, He went to sleep and rested (although He did a number of things between His death and resurrection). Then He rose up from the dead; He resurrected. Through His resurrection He brought His humanity into divinity (Rom. 1:3-4). He was also born to be the firstborn Son of God to be the leading One of the many sons of God. In His resurrection He also became a life-giving Spirit (1 Cor. 15:45b)… Furthermore, in the resurrection of Christ, all those who were chosen by God were regenerated to be the many sons of God (1 Pet. 1:3)…[who] have become the members of Christ to constitute His Body, which is the church of God (Eph. 1:22b-23). This Body is the new man in the new creation, and Christ is every member of this new man (Col. 3:10-11). This Body, this new man…eventually… will be enlarged and consummated to be the New Jerusalem as the fullness, the corporate expression, of God for eternity.
13那灵是三一神的终极完成。……我们基督徒该只摸这灵。我们既凭着灵得生并活着，就当凭着灵而行（加五25，罗八4）。……我们该凭灵祷告，凭灵读经，凭灵爱人，凭灵传福音。
13The Spirit [is] the consummation of the Triune God…We Christians should just deal with this Spirit. Since we have life and live by Him, we also should walk by Him (Gal. 5:25; Rom. 8:4)…We should pray by the Spirit, read the Bible by the Spirit, love others by the Spirit, and preach the gospel by the Spirit.
14加拉太六章十八节指明，那灵作为包罗万有的恩，与我们的灵同在。……因此，我们需要顾到我们的灵，作一切事都要操练我们的灵。这样，我们就经历神的灵在我们里面活着、在我们里面安家并变化我们。神的灵住在我们里面祷告、读经、说神的话、爱我们的配偶并传福音看望罪人。这样的生活就是经过过程的三一神，与得重生的三部分人的调和。这是新约的神圣启示，作为约伯受苦的答案，也是关于神创造人并对付祂选民之目的这个大问题的答案（约伯记生命读经，一○五至一○九页）。
14Galatians 6:18 indicates that the Spirit as the all-inclusive grace is with our spirit…Thus, we need to take care of our spirit, doing everything by exercising our spirit. Then we will experience the divine Spirit living in us, making His home in us, and transforming us. The divine Spirit lives in us to pray, to read the Bible, to speak God’s word, to love our spouse, and to visit sinners for the preaching of the gospel. Such a living is the mingling of the processed Triune God with the regenerated tripartite man. This is the divine revelation in the New Testament as the answer to the sufferings of Job and to the great question concerning God’s purpose in His creation of man and in His dealing with His chosen people. (Life-study of Job, pp. 91-95)

今日要点
16主题：认识并活在神永远的定旨里
16
17引经：弗三9~11
17
181.认识神创造人以及神对付祂选民的目的：
18
19A.当我们明白提后一9神按祂自己的定旨召我们以后，我们就需要看见，认识神永远的定旨是何等重要；弗三9~11指出，保罗要将神的经纶，向 众人照明，借着召会使仇敌得知神万般的智慧，这乃是照着神永远的定旨，所以，神永远的定旨是要将祂自己分赐到祂所拣选并救赎的人里面 ，使他们在生命和性情上与祂一式一样，只是无分于神格，使祂得着扩大并扩展的彰显。
19
20B.在约伯记中，我们看见约伯被销毁，这留给我们一个双重的问题，关于神创造人以及神对付祂选民的目的是什么？ 答案就是神永远的经纶，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，使他们成为与祂一样，作祂的丰满，就是祂的彰显。
20
212.借着神与人调和，完成神永远的定旨：
21
22A.神虽然在旧约作了许多事，但祂没有行动，仍在祂的神性里，停留在永远里，直到一天，神从永远里出来，将神性带到时间里，并且进到 一个童女的腹中，将自己与人联结，这是神行动的第一步，接着，祂从童女所生，生为一个兼有神、人二性的神人，在地上过三十三年 半的为人生活。
22
23B.主在十字架上完成祂的工作，三日复活，借此祂将祂的人性带到神性里，祂生为神的长子，成为赐生命的灵，在祂的复活里，所有蒙神 拣选的人，都重生成为神的众子，就是召会，基督的身体，新人，至终，要扩大并终极完成为新耶路撒冷，作神的丰满，神团体的彰显，直到永远，这就是新约 的神圣启示，也是约伯记的答案。
23
24应用：要经历神人调和，以完成神永远的定旨，就要看见那灵是三一神的终极完成，我们只该摸这灵，我们既凭着灵得生并活着，就当凭 着灵而行，凭着灵祷告、读经、爱人、传扬福音、爱我们的配偶、看望罪人。
