15我们有些人也许对得荣严守一种客观的观念。照着这观念，那些得救并重生的人，要忽然得荣耀。他们想像信徒的得荣要在主耶稣来临时瞬间发生。但我们的得荣虽然看起来是忽然发生的事，实际上却是在生命里逐渐长大并发展之过程的完成。借着重生，荣耀的生命已进入我们里面，如今我们里面有荣耀的种子。我们里面所有作种子的生命，乃是荣耀的生命（一27）。至终，这种子要开花，这样我们就要被带进荣耀里。这就像主耶稣的变化形像（太十七1~2）。主在山上变化形像时，并不是神的荣耀忽然从诸天之上降在祂身上，乃是神圣的荣耀从祂里面照耀出来。同样，我们要被带进其中的荣耀，乃是现今那在我们里面的荣耀照耀出来。这就是说，基督不是引导我们进入某种客观的荣耀，乃是引导我们进入那作为种子已撒在我们里面的荣耀。所以，得荣耀就是说，那作为种子已撒在我们里面的荣耀，浸透了我们全人。当我们被荣耀的元素饱和并浸透时，那荣耀就从我们透出来。这就是我们这些神的后嗣与基督同得荣耀的意思（新约总论第五册，三二至三四页）。 15Some of us may hold strictly an objective concept of glorification. According to this concept, those who have been saved and regenerated will suddenly be glorified. Supposedly, the glorification of the believers will take place instantaneously at the coming of the Lord Jesus. But although our glorification may appear to be a sudden occurrence, it will actually be the consummation of a process of gradual growth and development in life. Through regeneration the life of glory has come into us, and now we have a seed of glory within us. The life that we have within us as a seed is the life of glory. This is Christ in us, the hope of glory (1:27). Eventually, this seed will blossom, and thereby we shall be brought into glory. It will be like the transfiguration of the Lord Jesus (Matt. 17:1-2). When the Lord was transfigured on the mountaintop, it was not that the shekinah glory suddenly came upon Him from the heavens; it was that the divine glory shone from within Him. Likewise, the glory into which we shall be brought is the outshining of the very glory that is within us right now. This means that Christ is not leading us into some objective glory but into the very glory that has been sown into us as a seed. Therefore, to be glorified means to have the glory that has been sown into us as a seed saturate our whole being. When we have been permeated and saturated with the element of glory, that glory will come out of us. This is what it means for us, the heirs of God, to be glorified with Christ.
