第一篇　一个新人与神永远的定旨
Message One The One New Man and God's Eternal Purpose
读经：弗一9，11，三9，罗八29，创一26，弗二15~16，四22~24，六10~20
Scripture Reading: Eph. 1:9, 11; 3:9; Rom. 8:29; Gen. 1:26; Eph. 2:15-16; 4:22-24; 6:10-20
壹　“人”在圣经里是个重大的辞─创一26，诗八4~8：
I.　Man is a great word in the Bible—Gen. 1:26; Psa. 8:4-6:
一　神的心意是在于人;神的思想专注于人;神的心也是放在人身上。
A.　God's intention is with man; God's thought is focused on man; and God's heart is set upon man.
二　完成神计划的是人;彰显神的是人;击败神仇敌的是人;将神的国带到人类中间的也是人。
B.　It is man who fulfills God's plan; it is man who expresses God; it is man who defeats God's enemy; and it is man who brings the kingdom of God into the human race.
三　人是神显现的凭借;人是神行动的凭借;人也是神行政的凭借─结一26，5，10。
C.　Man is the means of God's manifestation; man is the means of God's move; and man is the means of God's administration—Ezek. 1:26, 5, 10.
四　天上的神渴望借着将祂自己作到人里面，而得着地上的人来彰显祂─弗二15，三16~17上。
D.　God in heaven desires to gain man on earth for His expression by working Himself into man—Eph. 2:15; 3:16-17a.
贰　神创造人的目的是要得着一个团体的人，以彰显祂并代表祂─创一26：
II.　God's intention in His creation of man is to have a corporate man to express Him and to represent Him—Gen. 1:26:
一　创世记一章神创造人，这是一幅图画，描绘神新造中的新人;这就是说，旧造是新造的表号、预表─弗二15，四24。
A.　God's creation of man in Genesis 1 is a picture of the new man in God's new creation; this means that the old creation is a figure, a type, of the new creation—Eph. 2:15; 4:24.
二　神照着祂自己的形像造人，并将祂的管治权给人─创一26：
B.　God created man in His own image and then gave man His dominion—Gen. 1:26:
1　“形像”是指神积极一面的目的─使人能有神的形像以彰显祂。
1.　Image refers to God's positive intention—that man would bear God's image for His expression.
2　“管治权”是指神消极一面的目的─使人能有神的管治权，以代表神对付祂的仇敌。
2.　Dominion refers to God's negative intention—that man would have God's dominion to represent Him to deal with His enemy.
三　召会，基督的身体，乃是一个新人，为着完成神永远的定旨─弗一9，11，三9，罗八29，提后一9，弗二15~16，四22~24：
C.　The church, the Body of Christ, is the one new man to accomplish God's eternal purpose—Eph. 1:9, 11; 3:9; Rom. 8:29; 2 Tim. 1:9; Eph. 2:15-16; 4:22-24:
1　召会是基督的身体，重在生命;而召会是一个新人，重在人位。
1.　The emphasis of the church being the Body of Christ is on life, whereas the emphasis of the church being the one new man is on the person.
2　召会作为基督的身体，需要基督作生命;召会作为一个新人，需要基督作人位。
2.　As the Body of Christ the church needs Christ as its life; as the one new man the church needs Christ as its person.
叁　召会作为一个新人，就是神心意中团体的人，这新人要完成神双重的定旨，就是有神的形像彰显祂，并为着神的国度与神的仇敌争战─弗二15，四24，六10~20：
III.　The church as the one new man is the corporate man in God's intention, and this new man will fulfill the twofold purpose of bearing God's image to express Him and of fighting against God's enemy for God's kingdom— 2:15; 4:24; 6:10-20:
一　圣经启示新人不是单个的人，乃是团体、宇宙的人─弗二15，四24，西三10~11：
A.　The Bible reveals that the one new man is not an individual but a corporate, universal man—2:15; 4:24; Col. 3:10-11:
1　这一个新人是团体的神人：
1.　The one new man is a corporate God-man:
a　第一个神人，就是神的长子，是这团体神人─新人─的头─罗八29，弗四15。
a.　The first God-man, the firstborn Son of God, is the Head of this corporate God-man—the new man—Rom. 8:29; Eph. 4:15.
b　许多的神人，就是神许多的儿子，是这团体神人─新人─的身体─16，24节。
b.　The many God-men, the many sons of God, are the Body of this corporate God-man—the new man—vv. 16, 24.
2　我们在基督里的信徒都与基督是一，成为这个新人;我们众人乃是这一个新人的各部分：
2.　We, the believers in Christ, are all one with Christ to be the new man; we all are parts of the one new man:
a　信徒虽有许多，但在宇宙中只有一个新人。
a.　There are many believers, but there is only one new man in the universe.
b　所有的信徒乃是这一个团体并宇宙新人的组成成分。
b.　All the believers are components of this one corporate and universal new man.
二　这一个新人乃是战士，与神的仇敌争战─六10~20：
B.　The one new man is a warrior fighting against God's enemy—6:10-20:
1　战士不是召会的一个身分，而是召会作为新人的一方面。
1.　The warrior is not a status of the church but an aspect of the church as the new man.
2　召会这团体的新人乃是战士，信徒在一起组成这新人：
2.　The church as the corporate new man is the warrior, and the believers together make up this new man:
a　只有作为战士的团体新人才能穿戴神全副的军装;任何单个的信徒都不能─11，13节。
a.　Only the corporate new man as the warrior can wear the whole armor of God; no individual believer can wear it—vv. 11, 13.
b　我们必须在基督的身体里，在这一个新人里，打属灵的仗，绝不能单独作战。
b.　We must fight the spiritual warfare not individually but in the Body, in the one new man.
肆　现在是神完成祂的定旨，好成全一个新人的时候，这新人要在地上完全出现─四24：
IV.　Now is the time for God to accomplish His purpose to perfect the one new man, who will come into full existence on earth—4:24:
一　世界局势被兴起，目标乃是为着一个新人：
A.　The world situation has been raised up for the goal of the one new man:
1　主在今时代所作的每一件事，都是要引进一个新人实际的出现。
1.　Everything the Lord is doing in the present age is to usher in the practical existence of the one new man.
2　因着科技的进步，在各地、各种环境情形中的圣徒们，现今有可能在实际并实行上成为一个新人。
2.　Because of the advances in technology, there is now the possibility that the saints in every locality in their environmental circumstances will become the one new man in reality and practicality.
二　当一个新人得着成全，那就是主回来的时候，并且这个得成全的新人要成为新妇─启十九7。
B.　When the one new man is perfected, that will be the time for the Lord's coming, and the perfected new man will be the bride—Rev. 19:7.
