读经：加三6，六10，15~16，18
Scripture Reading: Gal. 3:26; 6:10, 15-16, 18
壹　信仰之家是由所有借着信，在基督里成为神儿子的人所组成─加三26，六10：
I.　The household of the faith is composed of all who are sons of God through faith in Christ—Gal. 3:26; 6:10:
一　这宇宙的家庭是神的大家庭，而这个家的姓氏乃是“信仰”;我们都是信仰之家，就是信徒家庭的一分子：
A.　This universal household is a great family, and the name of this family is faith; we are all members of the "faith home," the household of believers:
1　信徒行事为人是凭着信心;这信就是“所望之事的质实，是未见之事的确证”─来十一1，林后四13，18，五7。
1.　The believers walk by faith, which is "the substantiation of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen"—Heb. 11:1; 2 Cor. 4:18; 5:7.
2　信徒接受那灵是借着听信仰;信来自听见话─加三2，罗十17：
2.　The believers receive the Spirit by the hearing of faith; faith comes out of the hearing of the word —Gal. 3:2; Rom. 10:17:
a　神写出来的话是圣经─约五39，提后三15~17。
a.　The written word of God is the Bible—John 10:35.
b　神活的话是基督─约一1，启十九13。
b.　The living word of God is Christ—1:1.
c　神应用的话是那灵─弗六17，约六63。
c.　The applied word of God is the Spirit—Eph. 6:17; John 6:63.
d　神在祂写成的话里给我们接触，成为活的话，应用到我们里面，成为那灵的话，使我们能得着三一神，祂能称无为有，又叫死人复活;（罗四17;）因此，神具体化在基督里，并实化为那灵，就是信。─引用经文
d.　God in His written word is contacted as the living word and applied into us as the word of the Spirit so that we can gain the Triune God, who is able to call not being as being and give life to the dead (Rom. 4:17); thus, God embodied in Christ and realized in the Spirit is faith.
e　我们越是这样得着神，神就越成为我们的信;信就是主观的神应用到我们里面。
e.　The more that God is gained by us in this way, the more He becomes our faith; faith is the subjective God applied to our being:
二　就着信心而言，没有一件事是不可能的─太十七20下，十九26，英文诗歌五三五首。
B.　Nothing is impossible to faith—Matt. 17:20b; 19:26; Hymns, #535.
贰　新造就是一个团体、神圣的儿子名分，（加三26，四5，7，）借着基督的救赎，那灵的重生，以及神将祂自己分赐到我们里面，并借着我们集体的进入与三一神生机的联结里作新人，（六15，三27~29，）而产生的：─引用经文
II.　The new creation is a corporate, divine sonship (Gal. 3:26; 4:5, 7) brought forth through Christ's redemption, the Spirit's regeneration, and God's dispensing of Himself into us, and through our entering collectively as the new man into an organic union with the Triune God (6:15; 3:27-29):
一　新造是有神性情之生命的杰作─林后五17：
A.　The new creation is the masterpiece of life with the divine nature—2 Cor. 5:17:
1　旧造没有神的生命和性情，但由神重生之信徒所构成的新人，有神的生命和性情─约一13，三15，彼后一4。
1.　The old creation does not have the divine life and nature, but the new creation, constituted of the believers, who are born again of God, does—John 1:13; 3:15; 2 Pet. 1:4.
2　新造就是一个新人，我们天然的人，天然的个性和天然的性格，在这里毫无地位─加三27~29，西三10~11。
2.　The new creation is the one new man, where there is no room for our natural being, our natural disposition, and our natural character—Gal. 3:27-29; Col. 3:10-11.
二　“要紧的乃是作新造”─加六15下：
B.　 "A new creation is what matters"—Gal. 6:15b:
1　加拉太书里所论主要的是说，我们是新造，我们该借着与三一神生机的联结，凭这新造活着;这新造成就神永远的定旨，在神的儿子名分里彰显神─四5，来二10，罗八29。
1.　The main issue in Galatians is that we are the new creation and that we should live by the new creation through an organic union with the Triune God; the new creation fulfills God's eternal purpose, which to express Himself in His sonship—4:5; Heb. 2:10; Rom. 8:29.
2　我们需要“照这准则而行”，就是照著作为新造的准则;照这准则而行，就是凭着灵而行─加六15~16，五25：
2.　We need to "walk by this rule," by the rule of being a new creation; to walk by this rule is to walk by the Spirit—Gal. 6:15-16; 5:25:
a　作神的众子活新造，乃是以神圣生命与神圣性情为管治的原则，基本的原则而行;这样，我们就成为三一神浩大的、宇宙的、团体的彰显，作神圣儿子名分的终极完成。
a.　To live a new creation as sons of God is to walk by the divine life and divine nature as a governing, elementary principle; in this way we shall be a vast, universal, corporate expression of the Triune God as the consummation of the divine sonship
b　我们需要照着新造的同一规则而行，也就是说，我们必须追求基督为目标，使我们能最完满的赢得基督，作为神召我们向上去得的奖赏─腓三13~16。
b.　We need to walk by the same rule of the new creation, that is, we must pursue Christ as the goal that we may gain Christ to the fullest extent as the prize for the upward calling of God—Phil. 3:13-16.
三　基督、那灵、新造、以及我们的灵，乃是加拉太书所启示基要的四项，这些都是神经纶中基础的思想：
C.　Christ, the Spirit, the new creation, and our spirit are the four basic things revealed in the book of Galatians as the underlying thought of God's economy:
1　基督是神经纶的中心，那灵是基督的实际;当基督借着那灵，实化在我们灵里，我们就成为新造─加一16，二20，四19，三2~3，14，五16，25，六15，18。
1.　Christ is the center of God's economy, and the Spirit is the reality of Christ; when Christ is realized through the Spirit in our spirit, we become the new creation—Gal. 1:16; 2:20; 4:19; 3:2-3, 14; 5:16, 25; 6:15, 18.
2　因此，为着过新造的生活，以成就神的定旨，我们的灵是极其重要的─18节。
2.　Hence, our spirit is vital for us to live the life of the new creation for the fulfilling of God's purpose—v. 18.
叁　神的以色列（16节）就是真以色列人，（罗九6下，二28~29，腓三3，）包括在基督里所有外邦和犹太的信徒，他们是亚伯拉罕的真子孙，（加三7，29，）是信仰之家的人，（六10，）也是新造的人（15）：─引用经文
III.　The Israel of God (Gal. 6:16) is the real Israel (Rom. 9:6b; 2:28-29; Phil. 3:3), including all the Gentile and Jewish believers in Christ, who are the true sons of Abraham (Gal. 3:27-29), who are the household of the faith (6:10), and who are those in the new creation (v. 15):
一　真以色列，属灵的以色列，乃是召会;主需要恢复神的真以色列─16节，三7，29。
A.　The real Israel, the spiritual Israel, is the church; there is the need for the Lord to recover the real Israel of God—v. 16; 3:7, 29.
二　平安如雨临到神的真以色列，临到照这准则而行的人，就是凡为着那灵撒种而活新造的人─六7~10，15~16。
B.　Peace rains upon the real Israel of God, upon those who walk by the rule of living a new creation by sowing unto the Spirit—6:7-10, 15-16.
三　那些包括在真以色列里的人，照“这准则”而行，（16，）彰显神的形像，并施行神的权柄，由雅各变化为以色列，神的君王并得胜者（创三二27~28）所预表：─引用经文
C.　Those who are included in the real Israel walk by "this rule" (v. 16), express God's image, and execute God's authority; they are typified by Jacob, who was transformed into Israel, a prince of God and a victor (Gen. 32:27-28):
1　在雅各身上我们看见，父神爱人并拣选人─玛一2，罗九10~13。
1.　In Jacob we see the God the Father who loves man and chooses man—Mal. 1:2; Rom. 9:10-13.
2　在雅各身上我们看见，我们命定终生要借着那灵的管教，过挣扎的生活，使那灵在我们里面作变化的工作─创三二24~32，来十二6~11，林后三18。
2.　In Jacob we see our being destined to live a struggling life all our days through the discipline of the Spirit for the Spirit's transforming work within us—Gen. 32:24-32; Heb. 12:6-11; 2 Cor. 3:18.
3　在雅各身上我们看见，灵神在万有里作工，叫爱祂的人得益处，祂也变化人，并使人在神圣的生命里成熟，好叫人能给万民祝福，管理全地，并以子神作为生命的供应满足万民─创二七41，二八1~三五10，三七，三九~四九，罗八28~29。
3.　In Jacob we see God the Spirit who works in all things for the good of His lovers, transforms man, and makes man mature in the divine life that man may be able to bless all the people, to rule over all the earth, and to satisfy all the people with God the Son as the life supply—Gen. 27:41; 28:1—35:10; chs. 37, 39—49; Rom. 8:28-29.
四　我们过新造调和的生活，就会成为今天神在地上的以色列，祂的君王与得胜者，执行祂的权柄，代表祂的行政─参启二26~27：
D.　By living the mingled life of the new creation, we shall be the Israel of God on earth today, His princes and victors executing His authority and representing His government—cf. Rev. 2:7.
1　我们的定命不只是作神的儿子，乃是在神的国里作掌权的君王;保罗论到神的以色列这话，含示我们需要过君尊的生活，有君尊的行事为人─罗五17，21。
1.　Our destiny is not only to be sons of God; it is to be kings reigning in the kingdom of God; Paul's word about the Israel of God implies that we need to live in a kingly way with a kingly walk—Rom. 5:17, 21.
2　要成为神合式的儿子，有那灵的果子就够了;但要作君王─神的以色列，我们就需要另一种生活，一种特别的凭着灵而行;我们需要有神儿子的生活，也需要有神的以色列的生活─加五16，25。
2.　To be proper sons of God it is sufficient to have the fruit of the Spirit, but to be kings, the Israel of God, we need another kind of living, a particular kind of walk by the Spirit; we need both the living of the sons of God and that of the Israel of God—Gal. 5:16, 25.
五　这种君尊、得胜的生活建造基督的身体，结果带进神的以色列终极的完成，就是新耶路撒冷─启二一2。
E.　This kingly, overcoming living builds up the Body of Christ to issue in the ultimate consummation of the Israel of God, the New Jerusalem—Rev. 21:2.
