12约一12~13 凡接受祂的,就是信入祂名的人,祂就赐他们权柄,成为神的儿女。这等人……乃是从神生的。
12John 1:12-13 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the authority to become children of God, to those who believe into His name, who were begotten…of God.
13彼后一4 借这荣耀和美德,祂已将又宝贵又极大的应许赐给我们,叫你们……借着这些应许,得有分于神的性情。
132 Pet. 1:4 Through which He has granted to us precious and exceedingly great promises that through these you might become partakers of the divine nature…
14神的性情是指神的所是,就是神所是的丰富、元素和构成成分(约四24约壹一5四816)。神圣的性情,主要指神圣生命的构成,神的构成,乃是由那灵、爱、光所构成。……我们这些神的儿女乃是神人,从神而生,拥有神的生命和性情,属于神的种类(三1约一12~13)。我们重生时,有另一个性情分赐到我们里面;这是神的性情,神圣的性情。神圣的性情既是在神圣的生命里,我们重生所得的神圣生命里面就有神圣的性情(三35~615)。凡信入神儿子的人就由神而生,并有权利成为神的儿女;因此,信徒有权利有分于、享受神的性情(一12~13)(新约总论第十三册,二八四至二八五页)。
14The divine nature refers to what God is, that is, the riches, the elements, and the constituents of God’s being (John 4:24; 1 John 1:5; 4:8, 16). The divine nature, which mainly refers to the constitution of the divine life, the constitution of God, is constituted with Spirit, love, and light…As the children of God, we are God-men, born of God, possessing the life and nature of God, and belonging to the species of God (3:1; John 1:12-13). At our regeneration, another nature was imparted into us; this is the nature of God, the divine nature. Because the divine nature is in the divine life, the divine life with which we were born again has the divine nature within it (3:3, 5-6,15). Whoever believes into the Son of God is born of God and has the right to become a child of God; thus, a believer has the right to partake of, to enjoy, the nature of God (1:12-13). (The Conclusion of the New Testament, pp. 3932-3933)

15宇宙中最大的福分,就是我们能有分于神的性情。……我们正在有分于神所是的神圣元素。……我们若要成为有分于神圣性情的人,就需要凭神圣的生命而活,在这生命里有神圣的性情(约一4十10十一25六57下)。我们乃是借着神的应许而活神圣的生命。为使我们能享受神一切的所是,神要照着祂的应许为我们作许多事。……虽然我们在相信的时候就得着了神圣的生命,但我们必须不断享受神圣的性情。
15The greatest blessing in the universe is that we can partake of God’s nature…We are partaking of the divine elements of God’s being…If we would be partakers of the divine nature, we need to live by the divine life within which is the divine nature (John 1:4; 10:10; 11:25; 6:57b). We live the divine life by God’s promises. In order that we may enjoy all that He is, God will do many things for us according to His promises…Although we received the divine life at the time we believed, the divine nature must be continually enjoyed by us.
16我们既然有神圣的性情,就不需要外面的规条来调整我们的头发、衣服和行为。我们所作的任何调整,都该是照着里面的神圣性情。……每个新生婴儿都有人的性情。虽然婴孩没有任何外面规条的知识,他们仍然有人的性情规律他们所吃的东西。你不需要教导他们有关甜和苦的事,因为他们有人的性情连同人的口味。我们基督徒有……神圣的性情同神圣的口味。我们必须过一种和我们里面神圣性情相配的生活。
16Since we have the divine nature, we do not need outward regulations to adjust our hair, clothes, and behavior. Any adjustments that we make should be made according to the divine nature within…Every newborn child has the human nature. While little babies do not have any knowledge of outward regulations, they still have the human nature that regulates what they eat. You do not need to teach them about sweet and bitter because they have the human nature with its human taste…We [Christians] have the divine nature with a divine taste. We must live a life that matches the divine nature within us.
17我们既有了神的生命,也就有神的性情。生命是重在生活的本能,性情是重在生活的口味。我们喜欢属天,因为这就是神的性情,神的口味就是属天的。我们喜欢圣别,因为神的性情和口味就是圣别。我们一骄傲就觉得难过,谦卑了就觉得舒服,因为这就是神的性情和口味。我们占人的便宜就不好受,与人分享就十分快乐,因为这也是神的性情和口味。……若是我们领会到,我们里面神的性情有一个特别的口味,我们就知道,要脱开世界是多容易,要不爱罪恶是多容易。神在我们里面,不只是我们的生命,也作了我们的性情。祂是我们里面生活的本能,也成了我们生活的口味。祂的生命和性情都在我们里面,所以我们不爱世界,胜过罪恶,是轻而易举的。
17Since we have the life of God, we also have the nature of God. The emphasis on life is on the capacity to live, and the emphasis on nature is on the inclination of our living. We desire to be heavenly because the nature of God, the inclination of God, is heavenly. We desire to be holy because God’s nature and inclination are holy. We feel uneasy when we are proud, and we feel comfortable when we are humble because this is the nature and inclination of God. We feel uneasy when we take advantage of others and very happy when we share with others, because this is God’s nature and inclination…If we realize that the divine nature within us has a particular taste, we will see that it is easy to be freed from the world and not love sin and evil. God is in us not only as our life but also as our nature. Within us He is the capacity to live, and He has also become our taste in our living. His life and nature in us make it very easy for us not to love the world and to overcome sins and evil.
18我们里面神圣性情的范围得以扩大的路,就是接受基督的话,不但借着诵读,也借着祷告、歌唱、颂咏和感谢(西三16)。基督的话若要丰丰富富地住在我们里面,我们就需要敞开我们的全人,并运用我们的灵。然后基督的话就会进到我们里面,挑旺我们,并与我们调和,使我们真正、实际地与主成为一。结果,神圣性情在我们里面的范围就得以扩大(新约总论第十三册,二八六、二八八至二九一页)。
18The way to enlarge the sphere of the divine nature within us is to take the word of Christ not only by reading but also by praying, singing, psalming, and thanking the Lord (Col. 3:16). If the word of Christ is to dwell in us richly, we need to open our entire being and exercise our spirit. Then the word of Christ will enter into us, stir us up, and become mingled with us, causing us to be one with the Lord in an actual and practical way. As a result, the sphere of the divine nature in us will be enlarged. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, pp. 3934-3937)

今日要点
20主题:作为神的儿女,应当成为神圣性情的有分者
20
211.既接受了宝贵的信,就当有分于神的性情:
21
22a. 在彼得书信的主题,乃是关乎在神行政下的基督徒生活,在这样的背景下,彼得在彼后一4说,『借这荣耀和美德,祂已将又宝贵又极大的应许赐给我们,叫你们…借着这些应许,得有分于神的性情』这是很有意义的,这说出收信的这些寄居的犹太信徒,不是以逃离外面环境为目标,而是以有分神的性情为目标。
22
23b.这说出,我们这些在基督里的信徒,既然接受了同样宝贵的信,就应当有分于神的性情,神的性情是指神的所是,就是神所是的丰富、元素和构成成分,我们重生所得之神圣生命,里面就有神圣的性情,神圣生命重在生命的本能,而神圣性情重在生活的口味,我们既有了神的生命,能够凭这生命的本能而作神的儿女,也就有神的性情,喜欢属天、圣别,有了神的性情和口味。
23
242.作为神的儿女,应当成为神圣性情的有分者:
24
25a.约一12~13说,『凡接受祂的,就是信入祂名的人,祂就赐他们权柄,成为神的儿女。这等人…乃是从神生的』,我们既是神的儿女,就是神人,从神而生,拥有神的生命和性情,属于神的种类,因此我们有权利成为神的儿女,并有分于神的性情,这乃是宇宙中最大的福分。
25
26b.在彼后一4下半,『得有分于神的性情』,原文直译为,成为神圣性情的有分者,become partakers of divine nature,神的儿女有分于神圣性情,就会成为神圣性情的有分者,一个神圣性情的有分者,也就是得享神性情并有分于神性情的人。
26
27应用:我们若要成为神圣性情的有分者,就需要凭神圣的生命而活,并且借着运用我们的灵,诵读、祷告、歌唱、颂咏和感谢,敞开我们的全人来接受基督的话,使我们与基督成为一,而让神圣性情在我们里面的范围得以扩大,而有神的性情和口味,在我们的生活中来彰显祂。
