总题:基督七倍加强的天上职事
第二篇 加强基督生机的救恩
Message Two To Intensify the Organic Salvation of Christ
壹 在启示录一章四至五节,那灵成了神圣三一的第二位,也就是神圣三一的中心,这启示出神七倍的灵功用加强的重要:
I. In Revelation 1:4-5 the Spirit becomes the second, the center of the Divine Trinity, revealing the importance of the intensified function of the sevenfold Spirit of God:
一 七灵在宝座前焚烧,借着管理世界的局势,完成神的行政,也就是执行神在宇宙中的经纶。
A. The seven Spirits are burning before the throne to carry out God's administration, to execute God's economy in the universe, by directing the world situation.
二 七倍加强的灵是七盏火灯,要焚烧、光照、暴露、审判、洁净并炼净我们,为要产生金灯台,以完成神新约的经纶─启四5。
B. The sevenfold intensified Spirit is the seven lamps of fire to burn, enlighten, expose, judge, purify, and refine us to produce the golden lampstands for the fulfillment of God's New Testament economy
三 七倍加强的灵是基督这救赎羔羊的七眼,也是建造的石头,鉴察并搜寻我们,将基督的素质、丰富和对神建造的负担注入并灌输到我们里面─亚三9,四7,启一14,五6。
C. The sevenfold intensified Spirit is the eyes of Christ as the redeeming Lamb and the building stone to observe and search us and to infuse and transfuse us with Christ's essence, riches, and burden for God's building—Zech. 3:9; 4:7; Rev. 1:14; 5:6.
四 金灯台作为三一神繁增的具体表现,充满了灵神这照耀的七灵─三一神完全的彰显─启一12,20,弗五18,罗八4,加五16,22~23。
D. The golden lampstands, as the multiplied embodiment of the Triune God, are filled with God the Spirit as the seven shining Spirits—the full expression of the Triune God—Rev. 1:12, 20; Eph. 5:18; Rom. 8:4; Gal. 5:16, 22-23.
贰 基督在祂加强的时期,七倍加强祂生机的救恩,为着建造基督的身体,终极完成新耶路撒冷:
II. In the stage of His intensification, Christ intensifies His organic salvation sevenfold for the building up of the Body of Christ to consummate the New Jerusalem:
一 基督的救赎是在法理一面完成的,乃是神救恩的手续,而祂的拯救是在生机一面完成的,乃是神救恩的目的─罗五10。
A. Christ's redemption is accomplished judicially as the procedure of God's salvation, and His salvation is carried out organically as the purpose of God's salvation—Rom. 5:10.
二 因为召会的堕落阻挠神完成祂永远的经纶,于是基督七倍的加强了祂生机的救恩:
B. Because the degradation of the church frustrates the accomplishment of God's eternal economy, Christ intensifies His organic salvation sevenfold:
1 今天这位充满并浸透我们、为要在生机一机拯救我们的灵,乃是七倍加强的赐生命之灵。
1. Today the Spirit who is filling and saturating us to save us organically is the sevenfold intensified life-giving Spirit.
2 因为赐生命的灵加强了七倍,所以那灵一切的元素也加强了七倍:
2. Since the life-giving Spirit has been intensified sevenfold, all the elements of the Spirit have been intensified sevenfold:
a 那灵是生命的灵;在加强之灵里的生命乃是加强的生命─罗八2。
a. The Spirit is the Spirit of life; the life in the intensified Spirit is an intensified life—Rom. 8:2.
b 那灵是恩典的灵;在加强之灵里的恩典乃是加强的恩典─来十29。
b. The Spirit is the Spirit of grace; the grace in the intensified Spirit is an intensified grace—Heb. 10:29.
叁 在基督七倍加强的生机救恩里,三一神被作到祂所救赎的人里面,使他们成为金灯台,就是基督的复制,也是那灵的翻版─出二五37,亚四2,6,启一11~12:
III. In Christ's sevenfold intensified organic salvation, the Triune God is wrought into His redeemed to make them the golden lampstands, which are the reproduction of Christ and the reprint of the Spirit—Exo. 25:37; Zech. 4:2, 6; Rev. 1:11-12:
一 借着重生,有分于神的生命─约壹三9,约三15,西三4。
A. By regeneration to participate in God's life—1 John 3:9; John 3:15; Col. 3:4.
二 借着性情上的圣别,有分于神的性情─弗一4,彼后一4。
B. By dispositional sanctification to participate in God's nature—Eph. 1:4; 2 Pet. 1:4.
三 借着更新,有分于神的心思─多三5,弗四23,腓二5
C. By renewing to participate in God's mind—Titus 3:5; Eph. 4:23; Phil. 2:5.
四 借着变化,有分于神的所是─林后三18下,弗三8。
D. By transformation to participate in God's being—2 Cor. 3:18b; Eph. 3:8.
五 借着模成,有分于神的形像─林后三18上,罗八29。
E. By conformation to participate in God's image—2 Cor. 3:18a; Rom. 8:29.
六 借着荣化,有分于神的荣耀、神完满的儿子名分、神的显出和神的样式─来二10,罗八23,19,约壹三2。
F. By glorification to participate in God's glory, in God's full sonship, in God's manifestation, and in God's likeness—Heb. 2:10; Rom. 8:23; Rom. 8:19; 1 John 3:2.
七 终极完成于新耶路撒冷,就是独一无二的灯台,作众灯台的终极完成─启二一18,23,二二5。
G. Consummating in the New Jerusalem, the one unique lampstand as the consummation of the lampstands—Rev. 21:18, 23; 22:5.
