第三篇 新人的更新
Message Three The Renewing of the New Man
读经:弗二15,四22~24,西三10,罗十二2
Scripture Reading: Eph. 2:15; 4:22-24; Col. 3:10; Rom. 12:2
壹 新人是基督创造的,但信徒需要有分于这创造─弗二15,西三10:
I. The new man was created by Christ, but the believers need to partake of this creation—Eph. 2:15; Col. 3:10:
一 基督在十字架上创造新人的工作,已经完成了─弗二15。
A. Christ's creating work on the cross to bring forth the new man has been accomplished—Eph. 2:15.
二 信徒乃是借着日日得更新,有分于这创造─四22~24,西三10。
B. In order to partake of this creation, we need to be renewed day by day—4:22-24; Col. 3:10.
贰 我们乃是借着在心思里的灵里得更新,脱去旧人,穿上新人─弗四22~24:
II. Through the renewing of the spirit in our mind, we put off the old man and put on the new man—Eph. 4:22-24:
一 我们重生的灵调和了神内住的灵,因此我们的灵不是单个的灵,乃是调和的灵─罗八16。
A. Our regenerated spirit is mingled with the indwelling Spirit of God; hence, our spirit is not a single spirit but a mingled spirit—Rom. 8:16.
二 这调和的灵能进到我们的心思里─十二2:
B. This mingled spirit can enter into our mind—12:2:
1 这样调和的灵扩展到我们的心思,就成了我们心思的灵。
1. Such a mingled spirit spreads into our mind, thus becoming the spirit of our mind.
2 这使我们的心思得以改变并更新。
2. This changes and renews our mind.
3 我们得更新的心思就成了更新人的心思。
3. Our renewed mind then becomes a renewing mind.
三 我们乃是在这样的灵里得以更新,而脱去旧人,穿上新人。
C. It is in such a spirit that we are renewed and that we put off the old man and put on the new man.
四 我们要脱去旧人(旧的社交生活),并穿上新人(新的召会生活),就需要敞开我们的灵,让基督的灵充满、浸透、渗透我们的灵,直到那灵满溢到我们的心思、情感和意志里;乃是借着这满溢的灵,我们就能为着一个新人得更新─罗八11,林前十二13,弗五18,四22~24,三16~19。
D. In order to put off the old man (the old social life) and put on the new man (the new church life), we need to open our spirit and allow the Spirit of Christ to fill, saturate, and permeate our spirit until the Spirit overflows into our mind, emotion, and will; it is by this overflowing Spirit that we can be renewed for the one new man—8:11; 1 Cor. 12:13; Eph. 5:18; 4:22-24; 3:16-19.
叁 一面说,新人已经被创造了,(弗二15,)但另一面说,新人乃是渐渐得更新(西三10):─引用经文
III. On the one hand, the new man was created (Eph. 2:15), but on the other hand, the new man is being renewed (Col. 3:10):
一 新人原是用我们属于旧造的人创造的,所以新人需要更新;这更新主要的发生在我们的心思里(如“以致有充足的知识”所指明的)─10节。
A. Because the new man was created with us who belong to the old creation, he needs to be renewed; this renewing takes place mainly in our mind, as indicated by the phrase "unto full knowledge"—v. 10.
二 灵的重生实际上就是新人的创造;因此,新人在我们的灵里已经被创造了一约三6:─引用经文
B. The regeneration of the spirit is actually the creation of the new man; for this reason, we can say that in our spirit the new man has already been created—John 3:6:
1 当新造借着重生发生在我们灵里的时候,圣灵带着神圣的生命就加到我们里面─林后五17,加六15。
1. When the new creation took place in our spirit through regen-eration, the Holy Spirit with the divine life was added into our being—2 Cor. 5:17; Gal. 6:15.
2 那灵与神圣的生命加进来,产生了一个新的所是,就是新人。
2. This addition of the Spirit and the divine life produced a new being, a new man.
三 我们的魂需要更新─罗十二2:
C. There is a need for the renewing in our soul—Rom. 12:2:
1 虽然我们的灵已经重生,但我们的魂连同魂里心思、情感、意志的功能仍在旧造里,还需要得更新─罗十二2,弗四23。
1. Although our spirit has been regenerated, our soul with its faculties of mind, emotion, and will remains in the old creation and still needs to be renewed—Rom. 12:2; Eph. 4:23.
2 借着这更新的过程,新人就从我们的灵扩展到我们的魂里,并且实际的在我们里面扩增。
2. Through this process of renewing, the new man spreads from our spirit into our soul and actually increases within us.
肆 得更新就是得着神的元素加到我们里面,以顶替并排除我们老旧的元素─启二一5上,林后五17,罗十二2,林后四16:
IV. To be renewed is to have God's element added into our being to replace and discharge our old element—Rev. 21:5a; 2 Cor. 5:17; Rom. 12:2; 2 Cor. 4:16:
一 新就是神;所以,成为新的就是成为神─罗六4,七6:
A.  Newness is God; therefore, to become new is to become God—Rom. 6:4; 7:6:
1 神永远是新的,祂将祂常新的素质灌注到我们里面,以更新我们全人─十二2,西三10。
1. God is forever new, and He infuses His ever-new essence into our being to renew our entire being—12:2; Col. 3:10.
2 神的灵借着把神的属性灌注到我们内里各部分,而更新我们,这些属性常新不旧,永存不变─启二一5上。
2. The Spirit of God renews us by infusing our inward parts with God's attributes, which are forever new, can never become old, and are everlasting and unchanging—Rev. 21:5a.
二 我们乃是借着神圣生命在复活里更新的性能而得着更新─约十一25,林后一9,四14,腓三10。
B.  We are renewed by the renewing capacity of the divine life in resurrection—John 11:25; 2 Cor. 1:9; 4:14; Phil. 3:10.
三 更新的灵将新人的神圣素质分赐到我们里面,使我们成为新造─多三5。
C.  The renewing Spirit imparts the divine essence of the new man into our being to make us a new creation—Titus 3:5.
四 神安排我们的环境,使我们外面的人一天过一天,一点一点的被销毁,我们里面的人得着更新─林后四16。
D. God arranges our environment so that little by little and day by day our outer man will be consumed and our inner man will be renewed—2 Cor. 4:16.
