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.
