6在彼前一章,我们看见三一神为着祂完全的救恩而有的工作。在二节我们看见父神的先见、那灵的圣别以及耶稣基督的洒血。这节启示父的先见、子的救赎和那灵的实施。这就是三一神的工作,为要成功神完全的救恩。在三节彼得说,父重生了我们,使我们有活的盼望。神完全的救恩由三种元素构成:父的重生、子的救赎和那灵的实施。我们经历这救恩的时候,就有一种以圣别和爱为特征的生活。我们的生活方式是圣别的,并且我们爱弟兄。所以,圣别和爱乃是神完全救恩的结果。不仅如此,这救恩里还有不能坏的种子,就是神活而常存的话。这就是彼前一章的简单概要。
6In chapter 1 of 1 Peter we see the operation of the Triune God for His full salvation. In verse 2 we see the foreknowledge of God the Father, the sanctification of the Spirit, and the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ. This verse reveals the Father’s foreknowledge, the Son’s redemption, and the Spirit’s application. This is the operation of the Triune God to carry out God’s full salvation. In verse 3 Peter says that the Father has regenerated us unto a living hope. The full salvation of God is composed of three elements: the Father’s regeneration, the Son’s redemption, and the Spirit’s application. When we experience this salvation, we have a life that is characterized by holiness and love. We are holy in our manner of life, and we love the brothers. Therefore, holiness and love are the issue of God’s full salvation. Furthermore, in this salvation there is a seed, the incorruptible seed, which is the living and abiding word of God. This is a simple sketch of chapter 1 of 1 Peter.
