5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。这等人不是从血生的,不是从肉体的意思生的,也不是从人的意思生的,乃是从神生的。
5John 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 not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
6十五1 我是真葡萄树,我父是栽培的人。
615:1 I am the true vine, and My Father is the husbandman.
7帖前一章一节说,“保罗、西拉和提摩太,写信给在父神和主耶稣基督里,帖撒罗尼迦人的召会:愿恩典与平安归与你们。”帖撒罗尼迦前书与后书都是写给在帖撒罗尼迦的地方召会,就是由该城所有在基督里的信徒所组成的。这样的地方召会是属于信徒的,也是在父神和主耶稣基督里的。这指明这样的地方召会是由父神所生,有祂的生命和性情,并在主耶稣基督一切的所是和所作里,与祂有生机的联结。因此,召会是属于人的(如帖撒罗尼迦人),但在生机上是在神里并在主里的。这种在神的生命和性情里生机的联结,乃是信徒为着召会生活,过圣别生活不可少的基础。这样的生活乃是这两封书信的主题(帖撒罗尼迦前书生命读经,三页)。
7First Thessalonians 1:1 says, “Paul and Silvanus and Timothy to the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace.” This Epistle and the second were both addressed to the local church in Thessalonica, composed of all the believers in Christ in that city. Such a local church is of the believers and is in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. This indicates that such a local church is born of God the Father with His life and nature and is united with the Lord Jesus Christ organically in all that He is and has done. Hence, it is of men (such as the Thessalonians) yet in God and in the Lord organically. This organic union in the divine life and nature is the vital base for the believers to live a holy life for the church life. Such a living is the theme of the two Epistles. (Life-study of 1 Thessalonians, p. 2)

8保罗的著作有一个特征,就是强调信徒与三一神生机的联结。……强调与基督生机的联结是保罗著作中一个显着的特点。……帖前一章一节虽然写得很简单,却提到生机的联结,这是保罗特有的写法。保罗在本节说到在父神和主耶稣基督里,帖撒罗尼迦人的召会。这里的介系词“在……里”非常重要,指出召会是在三一神里的。召会是由人所组成,但这些人—信徒—乃是在三一神里的。在帖撒罗尼迦的召会,一面是属于帖撒罗尼迦人的,另一面是在父神里的。
8It is a particular characteristic of Paul’s writing to emphasize the organic union of the believers with the Triune God…The emphasis on the organic union with Christ is an outstanding feature of Paul’s writings…Although 1 Thessalonians 1:1 is written in a simple way, it nevertheless includes Paul’s characteristic reference to the organic union. In this verse Paul speaks of the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. The preposition in here is very important; it indicates that the church is in the Triune God. The church is composed of human beings, but they, the believers, are in the Triune God. On the one hand, the church in Thessalonica was of the Thessalonians; on the other hand, this church was in God the Father.
9保罗不是仅仅说召会在神里面,乃是说召会在父神里。除非神是我们的父,否则我们就不能在祂里面。我们不是在神里面被造的,但我们是在祂里面重生的。我们乃是在神之外被造的;这就是说,在神创造时,我们与祂没有什么生机的联结或生命的关系,只有受造之物与创造者之间的关系。创造的结果乃是我们成了神所造之物,而神是我们的创造主。因此,神与我们之间有创造的关系,却没有生命的关系。我们受造时,神的生命并没有进到我们天然的人里面。我们这些神所造的人,并没有神的生命。我们只有受造的生命,就是我们天然人的生命。
9Paul does not merely say that the church is in God; he says that the church is in God the Father. Unless God is our Father, we cannot be in Him. We were not created in God; however, we were regenerated, born again, in Him. We were created outside of God. This means that in creation we did not have any organic union with God or any life relationship with Him. Instead, there was only the relationship between the creature and the Creator… Hence, there is a relationship of creation but no relationship in life…As God’s creatures, we did not have the life of God. We had only our created life, our natural human life.
10我们重生、由神而生的时候,我们与神的生命关系就开始了。这个重生把我们带进与三一神生机的联结里。我们重生的时候,得着了神的生命。现今神不仅是我们的创造主、我们的神,祂也是生了我们的父。神不再仅仅是我们的创造主,祂也是生我们的那位,因为祂已经用祂的生命生了我们。因此,祂是我们的父神。
10When we were regenerated, born of God, our life relationship with God began. This rebirth brought us into the organic union with the Triune God. At the time of our regeneration, our rebirth, we obtained God’s life. Now God is not merely our Creator, our God; He is our Father, the One who has begotten us. God is no longer merely our Creator—He is also our Begetter, for He has begotten us with His life. Therefore, He is God our Father.
11帖撒罗尼迦信徒借着重生成了神的儿子。按照罗马书,召会是由神的众子组成的。……罪人可以成为属世组织的成员,却无法成为活神召会的组成分子。这样的召会只能由神的儿子所组成。
11Through regeneration the Thessalonian believers had become sons of God. According to the book of Romans, the church is a composition of sons of God… Sinners can be members of a secular organization, but they cannot be components of the church of the living God. Such a church is composed only of sons of God.
12父已经预定我们作祂的儿子。……神预定我们得儿子的名分〔弗一5〕。到了时候,神呼召我们,在我们里面感动我们;于是我们悔改,相信神的儿子耶稣基督,而接受了祂。我们一接受基督,就蒙了重生,成为神的儿子。现今我们既是神的儿子,就成了召会—基督身体—的组成分子。我们这些神的儿子既是基督的肢体,所以帖前一章一节说,召会不仅在父神里,也在主耶稣基督里(帖撒罗尼迦前书生命读经,三至五页)。
12We have been predestinated by the Father to be His sons…We have been predestinated unto sonship [Eph. 1:5]. At a certain time, God called us and moved us inwardly. Then we repented, believed in the Son of God, Jesus Christ, and received Him. By receiving Christ, we were reborn and became sons of God. Now that we are sons of God, we are the components of the church, the Body of Christ. Because we, as sons of God, are the members of Christ, 1 Thessalonians 1:1 says not only that the church is in God the Father but also that the church is in the Lord Jesus Christ. (Life-study of 1 Thessalonians, pp. 3-4)

今日要点
14主题:召会是在三一神里,启示信徒与三一神有生机的联结
14
15引经:约一12~13约十五1
15
161.借着在三一神里,与神有生机的联结:
16
17A.昨天我们说到帖前一1,保罗写帖前和帖后,都是写给在帖撒罗尼迦的地方召会,就是由该城所有在基督里的信徒所组成的,这样的地方召会是属于信徒的,也是在父神和主耶稣基督里的,这指明,这样的地方召会乃是由父神所生,有祂的生命和性情,并在主耶稣基督一切所是和所作里,与祂有生机的连结。
17
18B.保罗写这两封书信,目的是要信徒为着召会生活过圣别的生活,而这种在神的生命和性情里生机的联结,对于他们过圣别的生活是不可或缺的,神不仅是创造者,神更是我们的父,我们与父有生命的关系,有生机的联结,祂不仅是我们的神,祂更生了我们,是我们的父,信徒借着重生成了神的儿子。
18
192.借着重生并住在主里面,而与三一神有生机的联结:
19
20a.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。这等人不是从血生的,不是从肉体的意思生的,也不是从人的意思生的,乃是从神生的』,信徒不是从母腹中再生一次,而是重生,从神生,召会不是地上的团体或组织,召会乃是由蒙神所重生,由神的儿子所组成的。
20
21B.约十五1说,『我是真葡萄树,我父是栽培的人』,这段经文指出,主是葡萄树,而信徒是枝子,枝子要住在葡萄树上,就能结果子,我们不仅有神的生命,也需要借着住在主里面,而与基督这真葡萄树有生机的联结,借着接枝在基督这真葡萄树上,我们就能够享受基督里面一切的丰富,使我们成为这葡萄树的一部分,成为葡萄树的彰显。
21
22应用:我们每周都分别一个时段外出传福音,不是投负责弟兄一票,甚至也不是为神作工,而是看见神已经拣选、预定许多人成为祂的儿子,需要我们将福音传扬出去,而使人悔改相信基督,接受福音,我们该以这样的看见来有分于福音的传扬。
