纲目
13 人是神所造的,目的是要彰显并代表神,不该为着神以外的事物,乃该绝对为着神;因此,凡我们出于自己所作的,无论是好或坏,都是为自己作的,既是为自己作而不是为神作的,在神眼中都是有罪的;罪乃是为着己——创一26赛四三7罗三23

2a 为着自己而事奉主乃是罪;宣扬自己乃是罪——民十八1王下五20~27太七22~23林后四5

3b 我们行义,就如施舍、祷告、禁食,若是为着自己,好表现并炫耀自己,乃是罪——太六1~6

6创一26 神说,我们要按着我们的形像,照着我们的样式造人……。
6Gen. 1:26 And God said, Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness…
7赛四三7 就是凡称为我名下的人,是我为自己的荣耀所创造、所塑造的,更是我所造作的。
7Isa. 43:7 Everyone who is called by My name, whom I have created, formed, and even made for My glory.
8罗三23 因为众人都犯了罪,亏缺了神的荣耀。
8Rom. 3:23 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
9神创造我们,是要我们为着祂,作祂的彰显和代表。祂创造我们并不是为着我们自己。但我们向祂独立而活。我们恨人,是向神独立;我们爱人,也是向神独立。这就是说,在神看来,我们的恨和我们的爱都是一样的。
9God created us that we might be for Him. He created us to be His expression and His representation. He did not create us for ourselves. But we live independently of Him. When we hate others, we are independent of God, and when we love others, we are also independent of God. This means that in God’s sight our hatred and our love are the same.
10不仅如此,我们的恨与爱都不是出于我们的灵,而是出于我们的肉体,出于善恶知识树。善恶知识树表征撒但。我们不该认为只有行恶是出于撒但,行善就不是出于撒但。……我们必须知道,我们出于自己所作的,无论好坏,都是为自己作的;既是为自己作的,就是罪(利未记生命读经,二二○页)。
10Furthermore, neither our hatred nor our love is from our spirit. Rather, both our hatred and our love are from our flesh, and both are from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The tree of the knowledge of good and evil signifies Satan. We should not think that only doing evil is of Satan and doing good is not…We need to realize that anything we do out of ourselves, whether good or evil, is for ourselves, and since it is for ourselves, it is sin. (Life-study of Leviticus, pp. 184-185)

11罪包括争权。我们爱人,可能是为着自己—为着自己的名声、地位、利益和骄傲。这种爱就是与神争权。我们需要祷告:“主,拯救我,叫我不为自己的骄傲、名声、升迁、利益、好处作什么。”这就是蒙拯救脱离与神的争权。当我们为自己的名声和升迁爱人时,就不是为着神。这种爱乃是出于撒但;这是在肉体里,并且就是罪。凡在肉体里的就是罪,凡在我们肉体里的罪就是撒但,凡撒但在肉体里所作的,就是争权。……我们对儿女的爱也可能是在肉体里。新约嘱咐我们要在主里养育我们的儿女。但我们可能是为着自己和将来而养育儿女。这就是罪。
11Sin involves a power struggle. We may love others for ourselves—for our name, position, benefit, and pride. This kind of love is in the power struggle with God. We need to pray, “Lord, save me from doing anything for my pride, for my name, for my promotion, for my benefit, for my interests.” This is to be saved from the power struggle with God. When we love others for our name and promotion, we are not for God. This kind of love is of Satan; it is in the flesh, and it is sin. Whatever is in the flesh is sin, whatever is sin in our flesh is Satan, and whatever is done there by Satan is the power struggle. Our love for our children may be in the flesh. The New Testament charges us to raise up our children in the Lord. However, we may raise up our children for ourselves and our future. This is sin.
12即使在召会生活中,我们行事也可能不是为神而是为己。我们可能作了很好的事,但深处隐藏的动机却是为着自己。……譬如,在作见证或祷告时,我们可能想要人人都对我们说“阿们”。我们可能献上一个高的、属灵的祷告,而我们这样作的目的是要得着“阿们”。……由此可见,甚至我们在祷告中,也与神争权。我们想要的是地位,不是神。
12Even in the church life we may do things that are not for God but for ourselves. We may do something that is very good, yet deep within our hidden intention is to do that good thing for ourselves…For example, in giving a testimony or in praying, we may want everyone to say “amen” to us. We may offer a high, spiritual prayer, but our aim in doing so may be to receive the “amens.”…From this we see that even in our prayer there is the power struggle with God. We desire position, not God.
13因着我们作属灵的事时,可能有隐藏的动机,主耶稣曾说到一些人,表面上是为神作事,实际上是为着高举自己。所以,主说,“你们要小心,不可将你们的义行在人前,故意叫他们注视。”(太六1上)论到施舍,祂说,“不要让左手知道右手所作的。”(3)论到祷告,祂接着说,“你们祷告的时候,不可像那假冒为善的人,因为他们爱站在会堂里,并十字街口祷告,为要叫人看见。”(5上)论到禁食,祂说,“你们禁食的时候,不可面带愁容,像那假冒为善的人一样;他们把脸装得难看,为要叫人看出他们在禁食。”(16上)我们即使在行义、施舍、祷告、禁食时,也可能与神争权。在神眼中,行这些事为自己而不为神,乃是罪。
13Because we may have hidden motives in doing spiritual things, the Lord Jesus spoke concerning those who do things apparently for God but actually for the purpose of advancing themselves. Therefore, He said, “Take care not to do your righteousness before men in order to be gazed at by them” (Matt. 6:1). Concerning giving alms He said, “Do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing” (v. 3). Concerning prayer He went on to say, “When you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites, because they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners, so that they may be seen by men” (v. 5). Concerning fasting He said, “When you fast, do not be like the sullen-faced hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces so that they may appear to men to be fasting” (v. 16). Even in doing righteousness, giving alms, praying, and fasting, there may be a power struggle with God. To do these things for ourselves and not for God is sinful in His eyes.
14以基督为赎罪祭是很深的。我们对赎罪祭的经历,完全与我们享受主耶稣作我们的燔祭有关。我们越爱主、越享受主,就越晓得自己是何等邪恶。有时,当我们爱主到极点,就会感觉没有地方隐藏自己。……当〔保罗〕寻求主的时候,他看见在自己里面没有善〔参罗七18〕(利未记生命读经,二二○至二二二页)。
14To take Christ as the sin offering is very deep. The experience of the sin offering is altogether related to our enjoyment of the Lord Jesus as our burnt offering. The more we love the Lord and enjoy Him, the more we will know how evil we are. Sometimes, when we love the Lord to the uttermost, we may feel that there is no place to hide ourselves…When Paul was seeking the Lord, he saw that there was nothing good in himself [cf. Rom. 7:18]. (Lifestudy of Leviticus, pp. 185-186)

今日要点
16主题:取用基督作赎罪祭,使神得着彰显与代表
16
17
181.取用基督作赎罪祭,使神得着彰显与代表:
18
19A.创一26说,『神说,我们要按着我们的形像,照着我们的样式造人...』,此外,赛四三7也说,『就是凡称为我名下的人,是我为自己的荣耀所创造、所塑造的,更是我所造作的』,这些经节给我们看见,神创造我们,是要我们为着祂,为着彰显并代表神,祂创造我们,并不是为着神以外的东西,乃该绝对为着神。
19
20B.而罗三23指出,『因为众人都犯了罪,亏缺了神的荣耀』,罪与彰显神的荣耀有关,人第一次的罪,还不仅是所谓吃了善恶知识树的果子,而是在此之前,人已经为自己,不为着神,这就是倪弟兄所说,人第一次的罪,这亏缺了神的荣耀,无论好坏,只要不是出于神的,是出于自己的,都是为着自己,都不是为着神的,就都是罪,这就是我们需要取用基督作赎罪祭的原因。
20
212.取用基督作赎罪祭,而对付我们的己:
21
22A.我们为着自己而事奉主乃是罪,宣扬自己也是罪,甚至我们行义,就如施舍、祷告、禁食,若是为着自己,好表现并炫耀自己,乃是罪,我们爱别人若是为着自己,为着自己的名声、地位、利益和骄傲,也是罪,甚至我们养育儿女若是为着我们的自己和未来,也是罪,这些都是在肉体里的结果,凡是在肉体里的都是罪。
22
23B.以基督为赎罪祭是很深的,我们对赎罪祭的经历,完全与我们享受主耶稣作我们的燔祭有关,这也与约翰一书一章三节至二章二节这段符合,前段说到我们对基督作燔祭的经历,后段说到我们对基督作赎罪祭与赎愆祭的经历,主会允许一些环境临到我们,使用我们的失败,来给我们看见我们的「自己」多可怕、丑陋并可憎,消极一面,使我们弃绝一切出于自己的,晓得自己是何等邪恶,积极一面,我们会爱主到极点。
23
24应用:我们需要祷告说,『主,拯救我,叫我不为自己的骄傲、名声、升迁、利益、好处做什么』,而停下自己,取用基督作赎罪祭,而使我们一切思想、说话、行动,都为着神的建造。
