6来六1 所以，我们既离开了那论到基督之开端的话，就当竭力前进，达到完全、成熟……。
6Heb. 6:1 Therefore leaving the word of the beginning of Christ, let us be brought on to maturity…
7罗十二2 不要模仿这世代，反要借着心思的更新而变化，叫你们验证何为神那美好、可喜悦、并纯全的旨意。
7Rom. 12:2 And do not be fashioned according to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of the mind that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and well pleasing and perfect.
8我们需要……指出变化与成熟的不同。变化的最后阶段就是成熟。成熟的意思是生命达到丰满。……我们的生命越多，就越成熟。婴孩显然是不成熟的，而成人是成熟的。一个人成熟了，意思就是他的生命达到丰满了。
8We need to point out the difference between transformation and maturity. The last stage of transformation is maturity. Maturity means the fullness of life…The more life we have, the more mature we are. An infant is obviously not mature, but a grown man is mature. For a human being to be mature means that his life has come into fullness.
9变化是生命里新陈代谢的改变。变化不是丰满的问题，乃是改变的问题。……唯有借着变化，我们才能达到成熟。我们有天然的生命，这生命无益于神的经纶。我们天然的生命不需要用别的生命来顶替，但是需要有新陈代谢的改变。我们不但需要外在表面的改变，也需要内在性质的改变。我们人的生命对于神的经纶是必需的，但不该一直是天然人的生命；乃该是在性质上经过了变化的人的生命，使神的生命能与人变化过的生命调和成为一。这是一件深奥的事（创世记生命读经，一四一九页）。
9Transformation is a metabolic change in life. Thus, transformation is not a matter of fullness; it is a matter of change…Only through transformation can we reach maturity. We have a natural life, but this life is not good for God’s economy. Although our natural life does not need to be replaced, it does need to be metabolically changed. We must not only have an outward change in appearance, but also an inward change in nature. Although our human life is necessary for God’s economy, it should not remain a natural human life; it should be a human life that has been transformed in nature so that the divine life may be mingled with the transformed human life to become one. This is a deep matter. (Life-study of Genesis, p. 1191)

10在新约里至少有两节揭示变化的事。罗马十二章二节……译为“变化”的希腊字，也出现在林后三章十八节。那一节说，“但我们众人既然以没有帕子遮蔽的脸，好像镜子观看并返照主的荣光，就渐渐变化成为与祂同样的形像，从荣耀到荣耀，乃是从主灵变化成的。”在以上两节里，“变化”这辞指明我们在基督徒生活里，需要新陈代谢的改变。我们不需要外面的改正和转变；我们需要在性质和生命上有内在的改变。
10At least two verses in the New Testament unveil the matter of transformation…The Greek word translated “transformed” in Romans 12:2 also appears in 2 Corinthians 3:18. According to the Greek, this verse should be rendered, “But we all with unveiled face, beholding and reflecting like a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord Spirit.” The word “transformed” in these verses indicates that in our Christian life we need a metabolic change. We do not need outward correction and alteration; rather, we need an inward change in nature and in life.
11这种新陈代谢的改变开始于重生。……在重生的时候，有一种新的生命，就是神的生命，放在我们灵里。从我们重生的时候起，这生命就一直变化我们天然的生命。当神的生命改变我们天然的生命时，就将神的生命多而又多的分赐到我们全人里面。所以，变化乃是我们天然生命的改变。当这改变达到丰满的程度，成熟的时候就到了。……成熟不是我们这人被改变的问题，乃是我们一再得着神生命的分赐，直到我们有了生命的丰满。
11This metabolic change begins with regeneration…At regeneration a new life, the divine life, was put into our spirit. From the time of our regeneration, this life has been transforming our natural life. As the divine life changes our natural life, it imparts more and more of the divine life into our being. Therefore, transformation is the change of our natural life. When this change reaches the point of fullness, the time of maturity has come…Maturity is not a matter of our being changed; it is a matter of having the divine life imparted to us again and again until we have the fullness of life.
12现在我们必须来看雅各，一个变化过的人，如何能被生命充满。人是器皿。……从约瑟被卖到雅各打发他的儿子们去埃及，至少有二十年的时间。……在那些沉默的年间，〔雅各〕是一个毫无野心、兴趣，也无事可作的人。这必是神将祂自己多而又多的分赐到雅各里面的时候。
12Now we must consider how Jacob, a transformed person, could be filled with life. Human beings are vessels. From the selling of Joseph to the sending of Jacob’s sons to Egypt was a period of at least twenty years. During these silent years Jacob was a person without any ambitions, interests, or things to do. This must have been the time God imparted Himself into Jacob more and more.
13唯一不能从雅各取去的，就是神的同在。雅各在希伯仑，一直活在与神的交通中。借着失去约瑟，雅各成了一个完全向神敞开的瓶子。……失去约瑟以后，雅各脱去了一切的阻挠，完全向主敞开。毫无疑问，雅各天天想念约瑟。他推测约瑟已经被恶兽吞吃了，但这事没有得着证实。因此，雅各也许认为他会再见到约瑟。这迫使雅各到神面前，向神敞开。他越想念约瑟，就越敞开。在那些年间，雅各是个向天敞开的瓶子，让属天的雨水不断地降到他里面。在那段时间，雅各天天在神面前，被神的生命充满（创世记生命读经，一四一九至一四二○、一四二二至一四二四页）。
13The only thing that could not be taken away from Jacob was God’s presence. At Hebron Jacob constantly lived in fellowship with God. Through the loss of Joseph, Jacob became a jar that was absolutely open to God…Now, after the loss of Joseph, Jacob was free from every frustration and was completely open to the Lord. Undoubtedly, Jacob thought about Joseph day after day. He had concluded that Joseph had been devoured by an evil beast, but this had not been confirmed. Hence, Jacob might have thought that perhaps he would see Joseph again. This pressed Jacob to God and opened him up to God. The more he thought about Joseph, the more open he was. During all these years, Jacob was a jar open to the heavens, and the heavenly rain was continuously falling into him. In this period of time Jacob was daily in the presence of God, being filled with the divine life. (Life-study of Genesis, pp. 1191-1195)

今日要点
15主题：新妇的预备，在于成熟，就是被那改变我们的生命所充满
15
16引经：来六1，罗十二2
16
171.认识何谓成熟：
17
18a.新妇的豫备，新妇的建造，也就是我们在主的生命里长大成熟，这三件事乃是连在一起的，成熟一词，希腊文原意是「终点」，是信徒生命变化的终点，保罗在来六1说，『所以，我们既离开了那润到基督之开端的话，就当竭力前进，达到完全、成熟...』，这里「完全、成熟」是一个希腊字，就是成熟这个字。
18
19B.这个字是源自马太二十四章六节的「末期」，成熟的意思是生命达到丰满，我们的生命越多，就越成熟，婴孩显然是不成熟的，而成人是成熟的，一个人成熟了，意思就是他的生命充满到一个地步，达到丰满的地步，所以成熟不是我们这人被改变的问题，而是我们一再地得着神生命的分赐，直到我们有了神的丰满。
19
202.认识变化与成熟的不同：
20
21A.在生命的经历上，变化与成熟有所不同，变化乃是在我们天然生命里新陈代谢的改变，而成熟是被那改变我们的神圣生命所充满，变化是改变的问题，成熟才是丰满的问题，变化的最后阶段乃是成熟，就是生命的丰满，这新陈代谢始于重生，这生命就一直变化我们天然的生命，当这改变达到丰满的地步，就是成熟。
21
22B.罗十二2说，『不要模仿这世代，反要借着心思的更新而变化，叫你们验证何为神那美好、可喜悦、并纯全的旨意』，在这节中的「纯全」，也就是成熟，在这段论及基督身体启示的一段话，说到了变化以达到成熟，指出成熟的信徒认识并顾到基督的身体，有身体的感觉，也以身体为中心。
22
23应用：从雅各身上看见，神借着外面的环境，迫使雅各一再地向神敞开，我们也需要更多向神敞开，成为向天敞开的瓶子，让属天的雨水不断地降在他里面，好被神的生命所充满，使人的生命经历新陈代谢的变化，而与神的生命调和成为一。
