12我们若要在神圣的荣耀里成为一，就必须弃绝自己并忘掉自己。必须不再是我，乃是基督在我里面活着（加二20）。这“我”已经被钉死，己必须被否认，基督才能活在我们里面。我们不但要弃绝世界，还要弃绝自己。一面，我们已经从许多属世的场合和属世的事物中圣别出来，进入了父的家；另一面，我们每个人都有自己的意见、思想或观念。如果情形是这样，我们如何能成为一？从前我们分别在各种属世的场合中，现今我们虽然回家了，但我们仍有己的难处。为这缘故，我们不可凭自己的生命活着，乃要凭荣耀的生命，神圣的生命活着。……这样，在这生命的荣耀里，我们就要成为一。因此，信徒的一有三个根据，或三个阶段：重生、圣别并得荣。第一阶段是借着重生，得着神为我们的父；第二阶段是借着圣言，从世界分别出来，归给三一神；第三阶段是借着否认己，凭荣耀的神圣生命活着。 12If we would be one in the divine glory, we must forsake and forget ourselves. It must be no longer I but Christ who lives in me (Gal. 2:20). The “I” has been crucified, and the self must be denied that Christ may live in us. We must not only renounce the world but also ourselves. On the one hand, we have been sanctified from so many worldly places and worldly things and have come home to the Father’s house. On the other hand, each of us has his opinions, thoughts, or ideas. If this is the situation, how can we be one? Once we were separated into various worldly places, but now, having come home, we may still have trouble with the self. For this reason we must not live by our own life but by the life of glory, the divine life… Then, in the glory of this life, we will be one. Hence, there are three grounds or steps of the oneness of the believers: regeneration, sanctification, and glorification. Having God as our Father by regeneration is the first step; coming to the Triune God by separation from the world through the holy word is the second step; and living by the divine life of glory through denying ourselves is the third step.
