8加四19 我的孩子们,我为你们再受生产之苦,直等到基督成形在你们里面。
8Gal. 4:19 My children, with whom I travail again in birth until Christ is formed in you.
9弗三17 使基督借着信,安家在你们心里,叫你们在爱里生根立基。
9Eph. 3:17 That Christ may make His home in your hearts through faith, that you, being rooted and grounded in love.
10当保罗初次向加拉太人传福音,使他们得着重生时,基督已经生在他们里面,但还没有成形在他们里面。然后使徒为他们再受生产之苦,使基督能成形在他们里面〔加四19〕。……他的传扬是把基督,活神的儿子,生在信徒里面。保罗的传扬强调基督为中心。按照加拉太书,基督已经启示在我们里面(一16),现今活在我们里面(二20),还要成形在我们里面(四19)。使基督成形在我们里面,就是使基督在我们里面完全长大。基督先是在我们悔改信主时,生在我们里面;然后是在我们基督徒的生活中,活在我们里面;还要在我们成熟时,成形在我们里面。
10Christ was born into the Galatian believers, but not formed in them when they were regenerated through Paul’s preaching the gospel to them the first time. The apostle then travailed again that Christ might be formed in them [Gal. 4:19]…His preaching was to bring forth Christ, the Son of the living God, in the believers. Paul’s preaching was emphatically Christ-centered. According to the book of Galatians, Christ has been revealed in us (1:16), He is now living in us (2:20), and He will be formed in us (4:19). To have Christ formed in us is to have Christ grown in us in full. First Christ was born into us at our conversion, now He lives in us in our Christian life, and He will be formed in us at our maturity.
11保罗说到基督成形在我们里面的话,含示我们正被基督所构成。使基督成形在我们里面是一件活的、生机的事。基督现今活在我们里面,使我们能被祂生机地构成。祂要以祂自己构成我们这个人—我们的心思、情感和意志。祂要构成我们魂的每一部分,使我们这人的每一部分有祂的形状,祂的形像。加拉太四章十九节的“成形”,与林后三章十八节的“形像”相呼应,那里保罗告诉我们,我们渐渐变化成为基督的形像。这形像是一种形状。基督必须成形在我们里面,使我们能借着在祂的形像里来彰显祂(新约总论第三册,六四至六五页)。
11Paul’s word about Christ being formed in us implies that we are being constituted of Christ. To have Christ formed in us is a living, organic matter. Christ is now living in us so that we may be constituted of Him organically. He intends to constitute our being—our mind, emotion, and will—of Himself. He will constitute every part of our soul so that we may have His form, His image, in every part of our being. The word formed in Galatians 4:19 corresponds to the word image in 2 Corinthians 3:18, where Paul tells us that we are being transformed into Christ’s image. This image is a form. Christ must be formed in us so that we may express Him by being in His image. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, p. 590)

12新约启示基督与我们这人有深切的关系。……基督带着祂的元素住在我们里面,乃是事实。祂这活的一位带着祂的元素,正生机地作到我们里面,把祂自己构成到我们这人里面,使我们有祂的形状,并彰显祂的形像。保罗受生产之苦,使基督能这样成形在信徒里面。
12The New Testament reveals that Christ is deeply related to our being…It is a fact that Christ with His element dwells within us. As the living One, He with His element is working within us organically, constituting Himself into our being so that we may have His form and express His image. Paul travailed that Christ might be formed in the believers in this way.
13那活在我们里面并成形在我们里面的基督,现今正安家在我们心里〔弗三17〕。……心是我们这人的中心。基督现今正在我们心里安家,就是使自己定居。所以,基督不仅在我们里面,也安家在我们里面。
13The Christ who lives in us and who is being formed in us is now making His home in our hearts [Eph. 3:17]…The heart is the center of our being. In our hearts Christ is now making His home, that is, settling Himself. Therefore, Christ is not only in us, but He is making His home in us.
14我们的心是由魂的各部分—心思、情感、意志,加上灵的主要部分—良心—组成的。这些是我们人内里的各部分。借着重生,基督进到我们的灵里(提后四22)。接着,我们该让祂扩展到我们心的每一部分。我们的心是我们内里各部分的总和,也是我们里面之人的中心;所以,当基督安家在我们心里,祂就掌管我们里面的全人,并用祂自己供应、加强我们内里的各部分。
14Our heart is composed of the three parts of our soul—the mind, the emotion, and the will—plus our conscience, the main part of our spirit. Through regeneration, Christ came into our spirit (2 Tim. 4:22). Now we should allow Him to spread Himself into every part of our hearts. The heart is the totality of all our inward parts and the center of our inward being. Therefore, when Christ makes His home in our hearts, He controls our entire inward being and supplies and strengthens every inward part with Himself.
15基督渴望从我们的灵扩展到我们心的各部分。然而,我们也许未必愿意让祂扩展到我们的心思、情感或意志里。所以,保罗向父祷告,求祂借着祂的灵,用大能使我们得以加强到里面的人里,使基督能安家在我们心里。这指明借着这样得加强,我们就愿意让内住的基督扩展到我们这人的各部分,并掌管每一部分。这就是基督安家在我们心里。
15Christ desires to spread from our spirit to all the parts of our heart. We, however, may not always be willing for Him to spread into our mind, emotion, or will. Therefore, Paul prayed to the Father that He would strengthen us according to His power by His Spirit into our inner man so that Christ may make His home in our hearts. This indicates that by being strengthened in this way, we shall be willing to let the indwelling Christ spread into all the parts of our being and to take over each part. This is Christ making His home in our hearts.
16我们得救的时候,基督进到我们的灵里。……我们得以加强到里面的人里,就开了门让基督在我们里面扩展,从我们的灵扩展到我们心思、情感、意志的每一部分。基督越在我们里面扩展,祂就越定居在我们里面,并安家在我们里面。这就是说,祂占有我们内里之人的每一部分,据有这些部分,并用祂自己浸透这些部分。结果,我们就被基督充满(新约总论第三册,六六至六八页)。
16When we were saved, Christ came into our spirit…As we are strengthened into the inner man, the door is opened for Christ to spread in us, to spread from our spirit to every part of our mind, emotion, and will. The more Christ spreads within us, the more He settles down in us and makes His home in us. This means that He occupies every part of our inner being, possessing all these parts and saturating them with Himself. As a result, we are filled with Christ. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, pp. 591-593)

今日要点
18主题:借着经历基督成形、安家在我们里面,而成为基督的复制品
18
191.被基督所构成,使基督成形在我们里面:
19
20A.我们要成为作我们榜样之基督的复制品,不仅需要基督活在我们里面,还需要基督成形在我们里面,加四19说,『我的孩子们,我为你们再受生产之苦,直等到基督成形在你们里面』,保罗说这话,乃是因加拉太人已经得着重生,有基督生在他们里面,但还没有成形在他们里面,成形含示我们正在被基督所构成,这是一件活的、生机的事,要成形,就需要让基督在我们里面完全长大。
20
21B.基督现今活在我们里面,使我们能被祂生机的构成,以祂自己构成我们的心思、情感和意志,构成我们魂的每一部分,使我们这人的每一部分,都有祂的形状,祂的形像,这样的过程乃是变化的过程,我们借着观看并返照祂,就渐渐变化成为基督的形像,基督必须成形在我们里面,使我们成为祂的复制,使我们能借着在祂的形像里来彰显祂。
21
222.让基督安家,扩展到魂的各部分:
22
23A.弗三17说,『使基督借着信,安家在你们心里,叫你们在爱里生根立基』,这是我们要成为作我们榜样之基督的复制品,经历基督的第三步-安家,安家一词,原文由kata和oikos组成,直译为向下住,住下来,基督要安家在我们心里,因为心是我们这人的中心,基督安家在心里,就是使祂在我们里面向下住,住下来。
23
24B.我们的心由魂的各部分-心思、情感、意志,以及灵的主要部分-良心所构成,借着重生,基督已经进到我们灵里,我们该让祂扩展到我们心的每一部分,让祂向下住,让祂住下来,让祂掌管我们的全人,并用祂自己来供应、加强我们内里的各部分,基督有强烈的渴望要住,但我们却未必愿意让祂住,所以保罗向父屈膝祷告,求父借着祂的灵,用大能使我们得以加强到里面的人里,而使基督安家,而使我们成为基督的复制。
24
25应用:我们需要学习祷告说,主啊,我虽然常常不让你扩展,但求你使我不照外面的人,也就是以堕落的魂为人位,加强我,加强到我里面的人里,使我能以里面的人作人位,来过我的基督徒生活和召会生活,而把你活出来。
