第三篇 为着一个新人的实际出现而得更新
Message Three Being Renewed for the Practical Existence of the One New Man
读经:弗二15~16,四22~24,西三10~11,罗十二2
Scripture Reading: Eph. 2:15-16; 4:22-24; Col. 3:10-11; Rom. 12:2
壹 一个新人是借着基督在十字架上的死所创造的─弗二15~16:
I. The one new man was created through Christ's death on the cross—Eph. 2:15-16:
一 一个新人是基督用两种材料创造的─蒙救赎的受造之人,以及神圣的元素;基督在十字架上把这两种材料放在一起,产生一个新人。
A. The one new man was created by Christ with two different materials—the redeemed created man and the divine element; on the cross Christ put these two materials together to produce a new man.
二 在一个新人的创造里,首先我们天然的人与基督同钉十字架,然后借着除去旧人,基督将神圣的元素分赐到我们里面,使我们成为一个新的实体─罗六6,林后五17。
B. In the creation of the one new man, our natural man was crucified with Christ, and then, through the crossing out of the old man, Christ imparted the divine element into us, causing us to become a new entity—Rom. 6:6; 2 Cor. 5:17.
三 这一个新人,作为团体的孩子,乃是基督在祂的复活里所产生的─约十六21,弗二15。
C. The one new man, as a corporate child, was brought forth by Christ in His resurrection—John 16:21; Eph. 2:15.
四 一个新人已经由基督创造成了,但信徒需要借着更新,脱去旧人并穿上新人,而有分于这创造─四22~24,西三10。
D. The one new man has been created by Christ, but the believers need to partake of this creation by putting off the old man and putting on the new man through renewing—4:22-24; Col. 3:10.
贰 一个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─10节,弗四23:
II. Because the one 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—v. 10; Eph. 4:13:
一 当新造在重生时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。
A. When the new creation took place in our spirit at the time of regeneration, the Holy Spirit with the divine life was added to our being—2 Cor. 5:17; Gal. 6:15.
二 灵的重生(约三6)实际上就是新人的创造;因此,我们可以说,新人已经被创造了。─引用经文
B. The regeneration of the spirit (John 3:6) is actually the creation of the new man; for this reason, we can say that the new man has already been created.
三 虽然我们的灵已经重生,但我们的魂连同魂里心思、意志、情感的功能仍在旧造里,还需要得更新─罗十二2,弗四23:
C. Although our spirit has been regenerated, our soul with its faculties of mind, will, and emotion remains in the old creation and still needs to be renewed—Rom. 12:2; Eph. 4:23:
1 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。
1. Through the process of renewing, the new man spreads from our spirit into our soul and actually increases within us.
2 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:
2. 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:
a 新就是神;所以,成为新的就是在生命和性情上,但不在神格上,成为神─罗六4,七6。
a. Newness is God; therefore, to become new is to become God in life and in nature but not in the Godhead—Rom. 6:4; 7:6.
b 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。
b. The renewing Spirit imparts the divine essence of the new man into our being to make us a new creation—Titus 3:5.
叁 按照以弗所四章二十三节,脱去旧人并穿上新人的关键,在于我们在心思的灵里得以更新:─引用经文
III. According to Ephesians 4:23, the key to putting off the old man and putting on the new man is to be renewed in the spirit of our mind:
一 重生的灵就是更新的灵;这更新的灵必须得着加强,(三16,)以侵入、征服、并占有我们魂的每一部分。
A. A regenerated spirit is a renewed spirit; this renewed spirit must be strengthened (3:16) to invade, subdue, and occupy every part of our soul.
二 当那住在我们重生的灵里并与其调和的赐生命之灵,扩展到我们的心思里,这调和的灵就成为我们心思的灵;乃是借着这调和的灵,我们的心思就得以更新─四23。
B. When the life-giving Spirit, who dwells in and is mingled with our regenerated spirit, spreads into our mind, this mingled spirit becomes the spirit of our mind; it is by this mingled spirit that our mind is renewed—4:23.
三 在我们心思的灵里得以更新,是里面的,是内在的─罗十二2:
C. To be renewed in the spirit of our mind is inward and intrinsic—Rom. 12:2:
1 在我们心思的灵里得以更新,就彻底改变我们的逻辑、哲学、想法、观念和心态。
1. The renewing in the spirit of our mind revolutionizes our logic, philosophy, thought, concept, and psychology.
2 更新乃是借着真理的灵带着圣经的启示,使我们在宗教、逻辑和哲学上,对神、宇宙、人类等类的事,心思有了改变,甚至借着十字架销毁的工作,让基督的心思顶替我们的心思─多三5,罗十二2,八6,腓二5,林后四16。
2. Renewing is to have our mind changed in our religion, logic, and philosophy concerning God, the universe, and mankind by the Spirit of truth with the revelations in the Scriptures, even to have Christ's mind replacing our mind through the consuming work of the cross—Titus 3:5; Rom. 12:2; 8:6; Phil. 2:5; 2 Cor. 4:16.
四 惟一使神的定旨在今世有可能得着成就的路,就是我们众人都愿意在我们心思的灵里得更新。
D. The only possibility of God's purpose being fulfilled in this age is that we would all be willing to be renewed in the spirit of our mind.
肆 要使一个新人得以完满的出现,我们就必须经历我们心思彻底的更新,这心思是照着我们的国籍和文化建立起来的─弗四23,西三10~11:
IV. In order for the one new man to come into full existence, we need to experience a thorough renewal of our mind, which has been built up according to our nationality and culture—Eph. 4:23; Col. 3:10-11:
一 我们必须在生活中实际的并天天在心思的灵里得着更新;否则,主就无法得着一个新人。
A. We need to be renewed in the spirit of our mind actually and daily in our living; otherwise, there is no way for the Lord to have the one new man.
二 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,让基督的灵来充满、浸透、漫溢我们的灵,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。
B. In order to put off the old man (the old social life) and to 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—Rom. 8:11; 1 Cor. 12:13; Eph. 5:18; 4:22-24; 3:16-19.
