13罪人怎能进入神里面?所有隔离的元素:罪性、罪行、世界、魔鬼、死亡、肉体、以及己,都必须除去,然后我们才会亲近神,不只到神面前,更是到神里面。……为此,需要一些工作,一些预备。主必须作预备的工作。祂必须去,不是到诸天之上,乃是到十字架,好除掉所有的障碍。所有的障碍都被主那包罗万有的死除掉了。……祂对付了罪性、罪行、世界、这世界的王、肉体、己、旧人甚至死亡。借着死与复活,主铺好了路,预备了地方,好把我们带进神里面。……借着祂的死与复活,主开辟、预备了道路,铺好了大道,能立刻领人进入神里面。主挪移了所有的山冈,填平了所有的凹地,铺好了大道,付上了所有的过路费。我们无须付上什么,我们可以直接进入神里面。
13How can sinners get into God? All the separating elements, the obstacles of sin, sins, the world, the devil, death, the flesh, the self, and the old man, must be abolished. Then we will be brought near to God, and not only to God but into God. For this, some work, some preparation, was needed. The Lord had to do a work of preparation. He had to go not to the heavens but to the cross to remove all the obstacles. All the obstacles have been removed by the Lord’s all-inclusive death…He dealt with sin, sins, the world, the ruler of this world, the flesh, the self, the old man, and even death. By death and resurrection the Lord paved the way and prepared the place that we might be brought into God. By His death and resurrection the Lord cut and prepared the way and paved the highway that can bring any person into God immediately. The Lord removed all the mountains, filled all the gaps, paved the highway, and paid all the tolls. There is no charge for us to pay. We may come directly into God.
