1
2六 有分于神的性情有个条件,就是我们要逃离世上从情欲来的败坏;我们需要活在逃离和有分、有分和逃离的循环里——彼后一4
2
3七 我们若享受神,并有分于祂所是的丰富,就会被神的性情所构成,而在生命和性情上(但不在神格上)成为与神一式一样,并在我们一切的所是和所作上彰显祂——3节。

4八 当我们有分于神的性情,享受神一切所是时,神性情的丰富就要完满地发展,如彼后一章五至七节所描述的。

5彼后一3 神的神能,借着我们充分认识那用祂自己的荣耀和美德呼召我们的,已将一切关于生命和敬虔的事赐给我们。
52 Pet. 1:3 Seeing that His divine power has granted to us all things which relate to life and godliness, through the full knowledge of Him who has called us by His own glory and virtue.
6林后十二9 祂对我说,我的恩典够你用的,因为我的能力,是在人的软弱上显得完全。所以我极其喜欢夸我的软弱,好叫基督的能力覆庇我。
62 Cor. 12:9 …My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness. Most gladly therefore I will rather boast in my weaknesses that the power of Christ might tabernacle over me.
7彼得……说,神已用祂自己的荣耀和美德呼召我们。……神知道我们需要保证、鼓励和力量,所以将又宝贵又极大的应许赐给我们。这些应许中的一个例子,是主在林后十二章九节对保罗所说的话。……这应许赐给保罗,使他能忍受肉体上的刺。要忍受“刺”,我们需要主够用的恩典。这是个例子,说明一个事实,就是我们需要许多应许,帮助我们达到神的荣耀和美德之目标。
7Peter…says that God has called us by His own glory and virtue… Knowing our need for assurance, encouragement, and strength, God has given us precious and exceedingly great promises. An example of these promises is the Lord’s word to Paul in 2 Corinthians 12:9…This promise was given to Paul to enable him to suffer the thorn in the flesh. In order to bear with a “thorn,” we need the Lord’s sufficient grace. This is an illustration of the fact that we need many promises to help us reach the goal of God’s glory and virtue.
8我们无法凭自己达到神的荣耀和美德这高超的目标。为此,我们需要主。因为我们不知道前途如何,神就将宝贵的应许赐给我们(彼得后书生命读经,四八至四九页)。
8We cannot reach the high goal of God’s glory and virtue by ourselves. For this, we need the Lord. Because we do not know what lies ahead of us, God has given us precious promises. (Life-study of 2 Peter, pp. 40-41)

9神将又宝贵又极大的应许赐给我们,是为着一个特别的目的。祂的目的是要我们借着这些应许,得有分于神的性情。借着又宝贵又极大的应许,我们在基督里的信徒,在与祂生机的联结里,得有分于神的性情。在行传二、三章,彼得和其他门徒必定有分于神的性情;难怪别人看门徒,就看见神的彰显。因为门徒享受神并有分于神,他们就被神构成。
9God has granted to us precious and exceedingly great promises for a specific purpose. His purpose is that through these promises we may become partakers of the divine nature [2 Pet. 1:4]. Through the precious and exceedingly great promises, we, the believers in Christ, have become partakers of His divine nature in an organic union with Him. In Acts 2 and 3 Peter and the other disciples surely were partaking of the divine nature. It is no wonder then that when others looked at the disciples, they saw the expression of God. Because the disciples enjoyed God and partook of God, they were constituted of God.
10这也该是我们今天的经历。我们若享受神并有分于祂,我们就会被祂构成。当然,我们绝不会在达到神格或成为敬拜的对象这意义上成为神。然而,我们可以透彻地被神的性情构成。
10This should also be our experience today. If we enjoy God and partake of Him, we will be constituted of Him. Of course, we will never become God in the sense of attaining to the Godhead or becoming an object of worship. However, we may be thoroughly constituted of God’s nature.
11我们都在肉身一面被我们所吃的食物构成。……同样,我们也许被神构成,以致在我们一切的所是所作上彰显神。我们甚至可能发出神圣的香气。我们若天天有分于神,至终就会不知不觉地有分于祂。别人接触我们,就会在我们身上看见三一神的彰显。
11We all are constituted physically of the food we eat…In like manner, we may become so constituted of God that we express God in all that we are and do. We may even give off a divine fragrance. If we partake of God day by day, eventually, we will partake of Him unconsciously. When others contact us, they will see in us the expression of the Triune God.
12我的愿望是在主恢复里的众圣徒,都完全被神的性情浸透。我们越被神浸透,就越彰显祂。
12My desire is that all the saints in the Lord’s recovery would be fully saturated with the nature of God. The more we are saturated with God, the more we will express Him.
13有分于神的性情,就是有分于神之所是的元素、成分。我们有分于神,神所是的各方面就成为我们的享受。我们有分于祂的公义、圣别、恩慈、爱、怜恤,这就是享受神性情的构成成分。神将又宝贵又极大的应许赐给我们,目的是我们得有分于神的性情。
13To be a partaker of the divine nature is to be a partaker of the elements, the ingredients, of God’s being. When we partake of God, the aspects of what God is become our enjoyment. We partake of His righteousness, holiness, kindness, love, and compassion. This is to enjoy the constituents of the divine nature. God’s purpose in giving us the precious and exceedingly great promises is that we may become partakers of the divine nature.
14彼后一章四节说到有分于神的性情的条件:“既逃离世上从情欲来的败坏。”我们越逃离这败坏,就越享受神的性情。同样,我们越有分于神的性情,就越逃离世上从情欲来的败坏。这是个循环。……我能见证,因为这有分和逃离的循环在我里面有力、快速地作工,我就很难接受任何世界的败坏。我有分于神的性情,这神的性情加强我,使我远离败坏。然后我越远离世界的败坏,就越享受神性情的丰富。这是对神经纶的经历。一至四节实际上就是我们对神经纶的享受一幅完全的图画(彼得后书生命读经,五一至五二页)。
14In 2 Peter 1:4 there is a condition for becoming partakers of the divine nature: it is “having escaped the corruption which is in the world by lust.” The more we escape this corruption, the more we will enjoy the nature of God. Likewise, the more we partake of the divine nature, the more we will escape the corruption that is in the world by lust. This is a cycle…I can testify that because this cycle of partaking and escaping works within me in a strong, rapid way, it is difficult for me to take in any of the corruption of the world. I partake of the divine nature, and this divine nature strengthens me to stay away from corruption. Then the more I stay away from the corruption of the world, the more I enjoy the riches of the divine nature. This is the experience of God’s economy. What we have in 1:1-4 is actually a full picture of our enjoyment of God’s economy. (Life-study of 2 Peter, pp. 42-43)

今日要点
16主题:神赐应许的目的,乃是要信徒有分神的性情
16
171.神赐应许的目的:
17
18a.在彼得书信的背景中,彼得在彼后一3说,『神的神能,借着我们充分认识那用祂自己的荣耀和美德呼召我们的,已将一切关于生命和敬虔的事赐给我们』,后面说到神的应许,神知道我们需要保证、鼓励和力量,所以将又宝贵又极大的应许赐给我们。
18
19b.神将又宝贵又极大的应许赐给我们,是为着一个特别的目的,就是要我们借着这些应许,得有分于神的性情,林后十二9说,『祂对我说,我的恩典够你用的,因为我的能力,是在人的软弱上显得完全。所以我极其喜欢夸我的软弱,好叫基督的能力覆庇我』,这应许赐给保罗,使保罗能忍受这根刺,这说出我们何等需要神的应许。
19
202.进入逃离与有分的循环里:
20
21a.我们无法凭自己达到神的荣耀和美德这高超的目标,为此,我们需要主,因为我们不知道前途如何,神就将宝贵的应许赐给我们,我们借着神又宝贵又极大的应许,得享神性情的丰富。
21
22b.今天我们要有分于神的性情,有一个条件,按着经文,就是我们要逃离世上从情欲来的败坏,我们需要活在逃离和有分、有分和逃离的循环里,我们越多逃离这败坏,就越享受神的性情,因着这循环在信徒里面有力、快速的作工,就使我们难以接受任何世界上的败坏,得有分于神的性情。
22
23应用:我们天天早上起来第一件事,就该享受神并有分于祂,借着呼求主名、祷读主话,而使我们所享受的话奶所构成,以致使我们在一天的生活中,能够发出神圣的香气,人接触我们就接触到神,在我们身上看见三一神的彰显。
