5彼后三18 你们却要在我们的主和救主耶稣基督的恩典和知识上长大。愿荣耀归与祂,从现今直到永远之日。阿们。
52 Pet. 3:18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and unto the day of eternity. Amen.
6弗二7 好在要来的诸世代中,显示祂在基督耶稣里,向我们所施恩慈中恩典超越的丰富。
6Eph. 2:7 That He might display in the ages to come the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
7彼后三章十八节说,我们需要在恩典上长大。恩典乃是神自己带着神性经过成肉体、死、复活和升天的过程。这一切恩典的元素都在我们里面,与我们成为一。恩典乃是神自己作我们的生命,与我们成为一,拯救我们,安家在我们里面,并成形在我们里面。我们需要在这样的恩典里长大,使祂得荣耀,从现今直到永远之日。彼后三章十八节是使徒彼得著作的结语,指明他所写的一切,乃是属于神的恩典、在神的恩典里、凭着神的恩典并借着神的恩典(李常受文集一九九四至一九九七年第一册,五八二至五八三页)。
7Second Peter 3:18 says that we need to grow in grace. Grace is God Himself with divinity processed through incarnation, death, resurrection, and ascension. All these elements of grace are within us to be one with us. Grace is God Himself as our life to be one with us, to save us, to make His home in us, and to be formed in us. We need to grow in such a grace for His glory today and unto the day of eternity. Second Peter 3:18 is the concluding word of the apostle Peter’s writings, indicating that whatever he has written is of, in, by, and through the grace of God. (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 1, “Crystallization-study of the Epistle to the Romans,” p. 460)

Today’s Reading
8信徒在神经纶中经历神恩典的终极完成,就是召会作基督的身体(弗一6~822~23)。基督的身体是怎样出来的?我们原来是堕落的罪人;基督来流血,把我们赎回到基督里。基督是我们得救的范围和成分(元素)。基督的宝血把我们赎回到祂自己这范围和成分里。我们在基督里,就享受祂的成分。祂的成分就把我们制作为神宝贵的产业。以弗所一章二十二、二十三节给我们看见,神在基督身上所运行的大能,使祂从死人中复活,超过世界,升到天上,坐在神的右边,并且践踏仇敌,将一切都服在祂的脚下,而作万有的头。这个大能乃是向着召会的,也就是传输到召会里的。召会是祂的身体,得着这个大能的传输。头有这个大能,身体也得着这个大能的传输。基督的身体就是这样产生出来的。
8The consummation of the believers’ experience of the grace of God in His economy is the church as the Body of Christ (Eph. 1:6-8, 22-23). How is the Body of Christ produced? We were fallen sinners, but Christ came and shed His blood to redeem us back into Himself. Christ is the sphere and element of our salvation. The precious blood of Christ redeemed us back into Himself as the sphere and element. In Christ we enjoy His element, and with His element we have been made God’s precious possession. Ephesians 1:22-23 shows us that the power that God caused to operate in Christ raised Him from the dead so that He might transcend the world and ascend to the heavenlies, being seated at the right hand of God, crushing the enemy, having all things subjected under His feet, and thus being given to be the Head over all things. Such power is “to the church,” that is, transmitted to the church. The church as His Body receives the transmission of this power. Since the Head has this power, the Body also receives the transmission of this power. It is in this way that the Body of Christ is produced.
9神……经纶中之恩典的产品,乃是一首诗章(弗二10上)。神创造的诸天、地和人,不是神的诗章;但召会,基督的身体,乃是神的诗章。……神……经纶中之恩典的产品,乃是一首诗章,展示神这经纶中之恩典超越的丰富(7)。……这恩典是丰富、洋溢、繁殖而增多的。……我们……一面展示神丰富的恩典,另一面完成神所预定的。这些善良事工〔10〕必是指实行神的旨意,过召会生活,并作耶稣基督的活见证。
9The product of the grace in God’s economy is a poem (2:10a). The heavens, the earth, and man, which were created by God, are not God’s poem. Rather, the church, the Body of Christ, is God’s poem. The product of the grace in God’s economy is a poem to exhibit the surpassing riches of the grace in God’s economy (v. 7)…Grace is rich, abounding, multiplying, and increasing. On the one hand, we are to exhibit the rich grace of God, and on the other hand, we are to carry out what God foreordained. These good works [v. 10] must be the doing of His will that we may live the church life and bear the testimony of Jesus Christ.
10在使徒保罗,万事如粪土,恩典之于他,只是神基督;他乃是借着这恩典,就是他所经历的主,为主劳苦,超过众使徒。我们今天的生活,我们今天的工作,也该像保罗一样,以这一位经过过程、终极完成的三一神作恩典。我们整体的生活该是这样,而不是仅仅作一点该作的事,或是仅仅作一些好的事。在这样整体的生活里,完全不在于是非、善恶和对错,乃是在经过过程之三一神的范围里。在这样的生活里,只以生命为原则。凡是出于生命的,神就要;不是生命的,神就不要。这生命就是这丰富的恩典,是以父神作本质,以子神作元素,以灵神作素质的;这生命也就是神来作我们的恩典。我们所该活的就是这样的生活。愿主怜悯我们,祝福我们,叫我们都过这样的生活,使我们在神的经纶中,至终能经历神恩典的终极完成(李常受文集一九九一至一九九二年第二册,四三八至四三 九、四四八至四五○页)。
10To the apostle Paul, all things were like refuse, and grace was God in Christ. It was by grace, the Lord whom he experienced, that he labored for the Lord more abundantly than all the apostles. Like Paul, we should take the processed and consummated Triune God as grace in our living and work today. Our total living should be like this, not just doing some proper things or good things. In such a total living, it is altogether not a matter of being right or wrong or of doing good or evil; it is altogether in the sphere of the processed Triune God. In such a living we take only life as the principle. Whatever is of life, that is what God wants; whatever is not of life, that is what God rejects. This life is the rich grace with God the Father as the substance, God the Son as the element, and God the Spirit as the essence; this life is God coming to be our grace. This is the living that we should have. May the Lord be merciful to us and bless us that we may live such a life so that eventually we can experience the consummation of the grace of God in His economy. (CWWL, 1991-1992, vol. 2, “The Law and Grace of God in His Economy,” pp. 335-336, 342-343)

今日要点
12主题:过在恩典上长大的生活,成为神的诗章
12
131.信徒得以在其上长大的恩典:
13
14A.彼后三18说,『你们却要在我们的主和救主耶稣基督的恩典和知识上长大。愿荣耀归与祂,从现今直到永远之日。阿们。 』这是彼得著作的结语,指明他所写的一切,乃是属于神的恩典、在神的恩典里、凭着神的恩典、并借着神的恩典,18节所指出的恩典,乃是「信徒在其上长大的恩典」,我们都需要在恩典上长大,使祂得荣耀,从今时直到永远。
14
15B.恩典乃是神自己带着神性经过成肉体、死、复活和升天的过程,这一切恩典的元素都在我们里面,与我们成为一,拯救我们,在我们里面安家,成形在我们里面,保罗经历这生命就是丰富的恩典,以父神作本质,以子神作元素,以灵神作素质,所以在使徒保罗,万事如粪土,恩典之于他,只是神基督,他借着这恩典,就是他所经历的主,为主劳苦,超过众使徒。
15
162.借着经历恩典,成为神的诗章:
16
17A.弗二7说,『好在要来的诸世代中,显示祂在基督耶稣里,向我们所施恩慈中恩典超越的丰富』,这段上下文指出,神经纶中之恩典的产品-基督的身体,乃是神恩典的诗章,神所创造的诸天、地和人,不是神的诗章,但召会,基督的身体,乃是神的诗章,要展示神这经纶中之恩典超越的丰富,这恩典是丰富、洋溢、繁增且增多的。
17
18B.我们一面展示神丰富的恩典,另一面完成神所预定的,这些善良事工必定是指实行神的旨意,过召会生活,并作耶稣基督的活见证,这样,神恩典的丰富,就是神自己的丰富,作为我们的享受,就要超越各样的限制,并要公开显示出来,直到永远,基督身体就要作为神的诗章,成为新耶路撒冷,作神在新天新地中义的完成。

19应用:倪弟兄停止尽职时,有弟兄质问李弟兄,难道倪弟兄没有错吗?李弟兄说,你在质问之前,里面是活的还是死的?那弟兄就蒙光照自己是死的,为此我们要操练从是非、善恶、对错的范围出来,只以生命为原则,出于生命的,神就要,不是生命的,神就不要。
