Scripture Reading: 2 Cor. 5:17; 4:16; Gal. 6:15
壹　我们这些在基督里的信徒，已成为新造─林后五17：
I.　As believers in Christ, we have been made a new creation— 2 Cor. 5:17:
一　在神完全、包罗万有的救恩里，最重要的事是祂使我们成为在基督里的新造─加六15。
A.　The most crucial matter in God's full, all-inclusive salvation is His making us a new creation in Christ—Gal. 6:15.
二　“新造”这辞表达一个明白、真确的事实，就是我们已得救成为新造─林后六2，五17。
B.　The term new creation is an expression conveying the plain and real fact that we have been saved to be made a new creation—2 Cor. 6:2; 5:17.
三　这新造和旧造一样，乃是团体的;在新造里，我们众人是由神许多儿子所组成的新人，召会，的一部分─弗二15，一5，来二10~12。
C.　Like the old creation, the new creation is corporate; in the new creation we all are parts of the new man, the church, composed of the many sons of God—Eph. 2:15; 1:5; Heb. 2:10-12.
四　神永远的定旨不仅是要救赎、重新得回堕落的旧造，更是要重生人，使人成为新造─约三3，一12~13，林后五17。
D.　God's eternal purpose is not just to redeem, to repossess, the fallen old creation but to regenerate man to make him the new creation—John 3:3; 1:12-13; 2 Cor. 5:17.
五　我们借着与基督生机的联结，而成为新造─17节：
E.　We are a new creation through our organic union with Christ—v. 17:
1　在基督里，就是在生命和性情上与基督是一;这乃是出于神，并借着我们相信基督─林前一30，加三26~28。
1.　To be in Christ is to be one with Him in life and nature; this is of God through our faith in Christ— 1 Cor. 1:30; Gal. 3:26-28.
2　离了这样生机的联结，我们就仍在旧造里;但借着在基督里与三一神生机的联结，我们就在新造里。
2.　Apart from this organic union, we remain in the old creation, but by the organic union with the Triune God in Christ, we are in the new creation.
六　新造是一个人得了重生有神的生命，不活在外面的人里，而活在里面的人里─约三3，5~6，林后四16。
F.　The new creation is a person regenerated with the life of God and living in the inner man, not in the outer man— John 3:3, 5-6, 15; 2 Cor. 4:16.
贰　旧造与新造之间有基本的不同─创一1，林后五17，加六15，启二一2：
II.　There is a basic difference between the old creation and the new creation—Gen. 1:1; 2 Cor. 5:17; Gal. 6:15; Rev. 21:2:
一　旧造没有神的生命和性情，新造却有神在其中为其生命、性情、外表和彰显。
A.　The old creation does not have the divine life and nature, but the new creation has God within it as its life, nature, appearance, and expression.
二　旧造是空器皿，没有神作内容;但新造是团体的器皿，有神为其内容─弗一22~23 ，三19下。
B.　The old creation as an empty vessel has no content of God, but the new creation as a corporate vessel has God as its content—Eph. 1:22-23; 3:19b.
三　旧造是旧的，因为神不是它的一部分;新造是新的，因为神在其中─四22~24。
C.　The old creation was old because God was not part of it; the new creation is new because God is in it—4:22-24.
四　神的目标是要从旧造中产生出新造;新造乃是由神圣的生命所变化过的旧造─林后三18。
D.　God's goal is to produce the new creation out of the old creation; the new creation is the old creation transformed by the divine life—2 Cor. 3:18.
五　新造就是神与人调和，当三一神在基督里，作为那灵作到我们里面时，新造就发生 ;这是神性与人性的调和─林前六17，弗三16~17上。
E.　The new creation—the mingling of God with man— takes place when the Triune God in Christ as the Spirit is wrought into our being; this is the mingling of divinity with humanity—1 Cor. 6:17; Eph. 3:16-17a.
六　新耶路撒冷是新的，因为是神的新造，有神的新的性质─启二一2，5上：
F.　The New Jerusalem is new because, as God's new creation, it has God's nature of newness—Rev. 21:2, 5a:
1　既然新就是神，所以成为新的就是在生命、性情上，但不在神格上成为神，有神作到我们里面─罗六4，七6，弗四23~24。
1.　Since newness is God, to become new is to become God in life and nature but not in the Godhead by having God wrought into us—Rom. 6:4; 7:6; Eph. 4:23-24.
2　新耶路撒冷乃是新（就是基督）这个范围的终极完成─林后五17。
2.　The New Jerusalem will be the ultimate consummation of the realm of newness, which is Christ— 2 Cor. 5:17.
叁　基督借着祂的钉死，就是祂在十字架上包罗万有的死，对付了旧造的问题─路二三44~46，来十20，出二六31：
III.　Christ dealt with the problem of the old creation through His crucifixion, His all-inclusive death on the cross—Luke 23:44-46; Heb. 10:20; Exo. 26:31:
一　基督的死所了结的主要项目，乃是旧造。
A.　The main item terminated by the death of Christ was the old creation.
二　因为基督是以一切受造之物中首生者的身分死在十字架上，（西一15，）祂的死就了结了旧造。─引用经文
B.　Because Christ died on the cross as the Firstborn of all creation (Col. 1:15), His death terminated the old creation.
三　在神看来，整个旧造都与基督同钉十字架，并与祂同埋葬─参约二十5。
C.　In the sight of God, the entire old creation was crucif ied with Christ and buried with Him—cf. John 20:5.
肆　新造乃是借着复活产生的─林后五17，林前十五20，23，45：
IV.　The new creation comes into being by resurrection— 2 Cor. 5:17; 1 Cor. 15:20, 23, 45:
一　基督在祂复活里的工作，乃是在七日的第一日复活，使新造有新生的起头─约二十1：
A.　In His work in His resurrection, Christ rose up on the f irst day of the week to germinate the new creation— John 20:1:
1　基督在七日的第一日复活，这事实指明宇宙在基督的复活里有了新的起头。
1.　The fact that Christ rose on the f irst day indicates that the universe had a new beginning in Christ's resurrection.
2　主的死是旧造的了结，祂的复活是新造新生的起头。
2.　Whereas the Lord's death was the termination of the old creation, His resurrection was the germination of the new creation.
3　旧造凭神圣的生命有新生的起头，就成为新造。
3.　When the old creation is germinated with the divine life, it becomes the new creation.
二　新造新生起头的元素，乃是复活的基督成了赐生命的灵─林前十五45下：
B.　The germinating element of the new creation is the resurrected Christ as the life-giving Spirit—1 Cor. 15:45b:
1　在祂的复活里，基督成了赐生命的灵，使旧造里的一些人有新生的起头，而成为新造─约二十17。
1.　In His resurrection Christ became the life-giving Spirit to germinate some of those in the old creation to be the new creation—John 20:17.
2　林前十五章四十五节含示以魂为中心的旧造，以及以灵为中心的新造。
2.　First Corinthians 15:45 implies the old creation with the soul as the center and the new creation with the Spirit as the center.
3　赐生命的灵乃是新造的中心和生命线─45节下，林后五17。
3.　The life-giving Spirit is the center and lifeline of the new creation—v. 45b; 2 Cor. 5:17.
伍　我们借着得重生，成了新造─彼前一3，约三6：
V.　We are made a new creation by being regenerated— 1 Pet. 1:3; John 3:6:
一　重生使我们成为新造，有神的元素在其中─一12 ~13，结三六26。
A.　Regeneration causes us to become a new creation, something which has the element of God within it—1:12-13; Ezek. 36:26.
二　重生使我们得着神的生命和元素，藉此使我们成为新造─彼后一4。
B.　Regeneration causes us to have God's life and element, thereby making us a new creation—2 Pet. 1:4.
陆　在经历上，我们是借着破碎和更新，在成为新造的过程中─林后五17，四10~12，16，弗四23~24：
VI.　In our experience we are in the process of becoming a new creation by being broken and renewed—2 Cor. 5:17; 4:10-12, 16; Eph. 4:23-24:
一　虽然我们的灵已经得了重生，但我们的魂连同魂里心思、意志、情感的功能，仍在旧造里，需要得更新。
A.　Although our spirit has been regenerated, our soul with its faculties of mind, will, and emotion remains in the old creation and needs to be renewed.
二　得更新就是得着神常新的素质分赐到我们里面，顶替并排除我们老旧的元素─林后四16，罗十二2，多三5。
B.　To be renewed is to have God's ever-new essence dispensed into us to replace and discharge our old element— 2 Cor. 4:16; Rom. 12:2; Titus 3:5.
三　借着更新的过程，我们就从旧造的范围里迁到新造的范围里，成为新耶路撒冷─西三10，启二一2。
C.　Through the process of renewing, we are transferred from the realm of the old creation into the realm of the new creation to become the New Jerusalem—Col. 3:10; Rev. 21:2.
柒　我们需要在复活里活在基督的升天里，胜过旧造─歌二8~13，四6~9，六10上：
VII.　We need to overcome the old creation by living in the ascension of Christ in resurrection—S. S. 2:8-13; 4:6-9; 6:10a:
一　物质的事物是旧造的一部分;我们若渴望世界物质的事物，就是活在旧造里。
A.　The physical things are part of the old creation; if we desire the physical things of the world, we are living in the old creation.
二　活在旧造里的基督徒，关切物质的事物。
B.　A Christian who lives in the old creation cares for physical things.
三　旧人关切物质的事物，但我们该是在升天里生活的新人，在复活里作神的新造─弗四22，24，二4~6。
C.　The old man cares for physical things, but we should be the new man living in ascension as God's new creation in resurrection—Eph. 4:22, 24; 2:4-6.
