纲目
2壹 性情上圣化的过程是我们生机拯救的过程,使我们被美化,成为基督美丽、圣别、并荣耀的新妇——帖前四3上彼前一15~16弗一4~5五25~27帖前五23~24罗六1922
2
3一 以弗所五章二十五至二十七节启示整个神完整的救恩,向我们陈明在三个阶段里的基督:
3
41 在已过,基督是救赎主,为召会舍了自己,为着我们法理的救赎——“作丈夫的,要爱你们的妻子,正如基督爱召会,为召会舍了自己”——25节。
4
52 现今,基督是赐生命的灵,正用祂的成分浸透召会,而在性情上圣化召会,使召会成为祂的配偶;这是生机的拯救,就是新妇的美化并新妇的预备——“好圣化召会,借着话中之水的洗涤洁净召会”——26节。
5
63 将来,基督是新郎,要将召会献给自己作配偶,好得着满足——“祂好献给自己,作荣耀的召会,没有斑点、皱纹、或任何这类的病,好使她成为圣别、没有瑕疵”——这是我们的得荣,为着新妇的献上——27节。
6
74 在已过,基督为召会舍了自己;现今,祂正圣化召会;将来,祂要将召会献给自己作配偶,好得着满足;所以基督对召会的爱是为着圣化召会,祂圣化召会是为着将召会献给自己,作荣耀的召会。

8弗五25~27 ……基督爱召会,为召会舍了自己,好圣化召会,借着话中之水的洗涤洁净召会,祂好献给自己,作荣耀的召会,没有斑点、皱纹、或任何这类的病,好使她成为圣别、没有瑕疵。
8Eph. 5:25-27 …[Christ] loved the church and gave Himself up for her that He might sanctify her, cleansing her by the washing of the water in the word, that He might present the church to Himself glorious, not having spot or wrinkle or any such things, but that she would be holy and without blemish.
9以弗所五章二十五至二十七节实际上是一长句。保罗在这几节说,作丈夫的要爱他们的妻子,正如基督爱召会,为召会舍了自己。祂这样作,为要借着话中之水的洗涤,圣化她、洁净她,好把召会献给自己,作荣耀的召会,没有斑点、皱纹或任何这类的病。基督爱召会,为召会舍了自己,目的是要借着话中之水的洗涤圣化她。圣化是借着洁净,洁净是靠洗涤,洗涤是用水,而水是在话中(以弗所书生命读经,五四八至五四九页)。
9Ephesians 5:25 through 27 is actually one long sentence. In these verses Paul is saying that husbands should love their wives as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her. He did this that He might sanctify her, cleansing her by the washing of water in the word, in order that He might present the church to Himself glorious, without spot, wrinkle, or any such things. Christ’s purpose in loving the church and in giving Himself up for the church was to sanctify her by the washing of the water in the word. Sanctifying is by cleansing, cleansing is by washing, washing is by water, and water is in the word. (Life-study of Ephesians, p. 442)

10在已过,基督乃是救赎主,为召会舍了自己(弗五25),为着救赎并分赐生命(约十九34);现今,祂是赐生命的灵,正借着圣别、浸透、变化、长大和建造,圣化召会;将来,祂是新郎,要将召会献给自己作配偶,好得着满足。所以基督对召会的爱是为着圣别并圣化召会,祂的圣别并圣化是为着将召会献给自己。
10In the past, Christ as the Redeemer gave Himself up for the church for redemption and the impartation of life (John 19:34); in the present, He as the life-giving Spirit is sanctifying the church through separation, saturation, transformation, growth, and building up; and in the future, He as the Bridegroom will present the church to Himself as His counterpart for His satisfaction. Therefore, Christ’s loving the church is to separate and sanctify her, and His separating and sanctifying the church are to present her to Himself.
11血和水从主被扎的肋旁流出来。血是为着救赎,水是为着分赐生命,好使召会能产生。在以弗所五章二十五节,我们看见因着基督爱召会,并为召会舍了自己,召会才能产生。
11Blood and water came out of the Lord’s pierced side. The blood was for redemption, and the water was for the impartation of life so that the church might come into existence. In Ephesians 5:25 we have the church coming into existence through Christ’s loving her and giving Himself up for her.
12召会产生之后,还需要圣化。圣化的过程包括浸透、变化、长大和建造。……召会需要被基督一切的所是浸透。浸透是随着变化、长大和建造而有的。借着这几面圣化的过程,召会得以成为完整且完全,就是创世记二章夏娃所预表的实际。
12After the church has come into existence, the church needs the sanctifying. The process of sanctification includes saturation, transformation, growth, and building up…The church needs to be saturated with all that Christ is. Saturation is accompanied by transformation, growth, and building. Through such a process of sanctification with all these aspects, the church becomes complete and perfect, the reality of what is typified by Eve in Genesis 2.
13由亚当肋骨建造成的夏娃,为亚当预备好之后,就被献给她所出自的源头—亚当。照样,召会也要献给她的源头—基督。……以弗所五章二十七节说,基督要把召会献给自己,作荣耀的召会。因此,祂是呈献者,也是接受者。
13After Eve had been prepared for Adam by being built out of Adam’s rib, she was presented to Adam, the source from which she came. In like manner, the church will be presented to Christ, who is her source…Ephesians 5:27 says that Christ will present the church to Himself glorious. Hence, He will be both the presenter and the receiver.
14没有分别、浸透、变化、长大和建造,召会就不能达到完全,也无法长到基督丰满之身材的度量。唯有借着包罗万有圣化的过程,召会才能成为完整,并达到基督丰满之身材的度量,好使基督能将一个完全的召会献给祂自己。
14Without separation, saturation, transformation, growth, and building, the church cannot be perfected and grow into the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ. Only through an all-inclusive process of sanctification can the church become complete and attain to the measure of the stature of Christ’s fullness so that Christ can present a perfect church to Himself.
15首先,召会出现了。其次,召会被圣化,因此得以成为完全且完整。最终,召会献给基督作荣耀的召会,没有斑点、皱纹或任何这类的病。召会乃是成为圣别、没有瑕疵地献给祂。我们如今是在召会产生的第二阶段,就是圣化的阶段。当这一阶段完成时,我们就要被献给基督作荣耀的召会。
15First, the church is brought into existence. Second, the church is sanctified and thereby perfected and completed. Finally, the church is presented to Christ as a glorious church without spot, wrinkle, or any such things. It is presented to Him holy and without blemish. We are presently in the second stage of the production of the church, the stage of sanctification. When this stage is complete, we will be presented to Christ as a glorious church.
16变化……乃是借着保养与顾惜。你若忠信地来到聚会中,得着保养并顾惜,你自然就与世界有分别,并且被基督的丰富所浸透。然后你就有长大、变化与建造。……最终新妇要成为完整、完全,并长成基督丰满之身材的度量。然后主耶稣要回来,将预备好的新妇献给祂自己(以弗所书生命读经,五四九至五五一页)。
16[Transformation] comes through the nourishing and the cherishing. If you faithfully come to the meetings to be nourished and cherished, spontaneously you will be separated from the world and saturated with the riches of Christ. Then with you there will be growth, transformation, and building…Eventually, the bride will be complete, perfect, and grown to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ. Then the Lord Jesus will come and present this prepared bride to Himself. (Life-study of Ephesians, pp. 442-445)
17参读:以弗所书生命读经,第五十三篇。

今日要点
18主题:经历基督作赐生命的灵,留在美化的过程里,成为美丽的新妇
18
19引经:弗五25~27
19
201.基督作赐生命的灵,圣化召会成为美丽的新妇:
20
21A.弗五25~27说,『...基督爱召会,为召会舍了自己,好圣化召会,借着话中之水的洗涤洁净召会,祂好献给自己,作荣耀的召会,没有斑点、皱纹、或任何这类的病,好使她成为圣别、没有瑕疵』,这是三节圣经乃是一句话,在此之前是说到夫妻之间伦常关系所需要的生活,并指向基督爱召会,为召会所作的一切,使召会能成为美丽的新妇,献给自己。
21
22B.在已过,基督是救赎主,为召会舍了自己,为着法理的救赎,现今,基督是赐生命的灵,正用祂的成分浸透召会,而在性情上圣化召会,使召会成为祂的配偶,这乃是生机的拯救,就是新妇的美化并新妇的预备,将来,基督是新郎,要将召会献给自己作配偶,好得着满足。
22
232.借着性情上圣化的过程,被美化成为新妇:
23
24A.所以,若要预备新妇成为美丽的新妇,我们在现今,就需要经历性情上圣化的过程,也就是生机拯救的过程,使我们被美化,成为基督美丽、圣别、并荣耀的新妇,法理的救赎,地位上的圣别已经成功,而生机的拯救正在施行,圣化的工作正在进行,因此,若要圣化,就需要借着洁净,洁净是靠洗涤,洗涤是用水,而水是在话里面。
24
25b.没有分别、浸透、变化、长大和建造,召会就不能达到完全,也无法长到基督丰满之身材的度量,惟有借着包罗万有圣化的过程,召会才能成为完整,并达到基督丰满之身材的度量,好使基督能将一个完全的召会献给祂自己,所以召会先出现,其次,召会被圣化,最终,召会献给基督作为荣耀的召会,没有斑点、皱纹、和任何这类的病之美丽的新妇。
25
26应用:每个主日不仅重温主血救赎的价值,更激励我们经历祂作为水,使我们一周的起头,就经历祂生命的分赐,而使我们借着保养与顾惜而经历变化的过程,而与世界有分别,且被基督的丰富所浸透,带进长大、变化与建造,而成为没有斑点、皱纹之美丽的新妇。
