壹　圣经揭示在神与人关系里生机的联结─约十五4~5，林前六17，罗十二5：
I.　The Bible unveils the organic union in God's relationship with man— John 15:4-5; 1 Cor. 6:17; Rom. 12:5:
一　生机联结的第一步，乃是神创造人─创一26，二7：
A.　The first step of the organic union is God's creation of man—Gen. 1:26; 2:7:
1　神创造人的目的，乃是要神与人能有一种完全生机、在生命里的联结;我们受造是要像神，与神是一─一26。
1.　God's intention in creating man was that God and man would be joined in a union that is altogether organic, a union in life; we were created to be like God and to be one with God—1:26.
2　神造人，目的是要进到人里面，与人成为一，好叫人与祂成为一;这是生机的联结。
2.　God created man for the purpose that He would enter into man, be one with man, and make man one with Him; this is the organic union.
3　诸天是为着地;地是为着使人生存;而人的灵是为着神：让人敬拜神，由神重生，与神联合，使人在与神生机的联结里生活行动─亚十二1，约四24，三6，林前六17，加五16，罗八4。
3.　The heavens are for the earth, the earth is for man to exist, and the spirit of man is for God, that is, for man to worship God, to be regenerated by God, and to be joined to God that man may live and walk in the organic union with God—Zech. 12:1; John 4:24; 3:6; 1 Cor. 6:17; Gal. 5:16; Rom. 8:4.
4　生命树是给人吃的，使神这生命的成分，成为人的构成;因此，人与神有了生机的联结，并活在一起如同一个人位─创二8~9，16，约六57，十五5，腓一20~21上。
4.　The tree of life is for man to eat that man may be constituted with God as the element of life; thus, man and God become organically united and live together as one person—Gen. 2:8-9, 16; John 6:57; 15:5; Phil. 1:20-21a.
二　成为肉体乃是要将神这生命带到人里面─约一1，4，14，十四6，十10下：
B.　The incarnation was to bring God as life into man—John 1:1, 4, 14; 14:6; 10:10b:
1　神的成为肉体就是要完成神的愿望和祂的喜悦，在生机的联结里与人成为一─弗一5，9。
1.　God's incarnation is to carry out God's desire with His good pleasure to be one with man in the organic union—Eph. 1:5, 9.
2　借着神的成为肉体，人就与生机的神有了生机的联结─约一14。
2.　Through God's incarnation, man is in an organic union with the organic God—John 1:14.
三　神的救恩就是这位拯救的神自己，加上祂的救赎;救赎并拯救的神自己，就是我们大能的救恩─路二30，十九10：
C.　God's salvation is the saving God Himself plus His redemption; the redeeming and saving God Himself is our dynamic salvation—Luke 2:30; 19:10:
1　神的救恩就是神自己来作我们的内容，并使我们在与祂神圣的生机联结里，成为祂的一部分─弗三17，五30。
1.　God's salvation is God Himself making Himself our content and making us a part of Him in the divine organic union—Eph. 3:17; 5:30.
2　在神的救恩里，祂是我们的一切，我们是祂的彰显;因着祂与我们是一，祂活在我们里面，我们也活在祂里面，所以我们是既属人又神圣，既神圣又属人─加二20，腓一20。
2.　In God's salvation He is everything to us, and we are His expression; because He and we are one, He lives in us and we live in Him, and thus we are humanly divine and divinely human—Gal. 2:20; Phil. 1:20.
3　我们这些现今是神配偶的人，应当照着调和的灵而行，藉此活神、彰显神并显出神─罗八4。
3.　As those who are now the counterpart of God, we should live God, express God, and manifest God by walking according to the mingled spirit—Rom. 8:4.
四　神把祂自己当作生命的种子种到我们灵里，为要长出一棵树;这棵树就是生命树的缩影─约十五1，4~5，十四6：
D.　God has sown Himself into our spirit as the life seed to grow a tree, a miniature of the tree of life—John 15:1, 4-5; 14:6:
1　今天生命树长在我们众人里面，叫我们每一个人都成为一棵小小的生命树;作为小小的生命树，我们需要长大─弗四15。
1.　Today the tree of life grows in all of us, causing each of us to be a small tree of life; as small trees of life we need to grow—Eph. 4:15.
2　我们需要长大到成熟，以成熟的方式认识神，认识圣经，认识召会，认识今天的光景和情形─来六1。
2.　We need to grow unto maturity to know God, to know the Bible, to know the church, and to know today's situation and condition in a mature way— Heb. 6:1.
3　我们是以神的增长而长大，而神的增长就是神在我们里面的扩增;信徒真实的长大，乃是三一神在他们里面长大、扩增─西二19。
3.　We are growing with the growth of God, that is, with the increase of God within us; the real growth of the believers is the Triune God growing, increasing, in them—Col. 2:19.
五　我们在神圣生命里的长大，是为着神独一的目的，就是建造基督的身体─弗四12~16：
E.　Our growth in the divine life is for the unique purpose of God—the building up of the Body of Christ—Eph. 4:12-16:
1　长大是为着建造，并且长大等于建造;身体乃是借着长大把自己建造起来，而身体的长大就是身体把自己建造起来─16节。
1.　Growth is for the building, and growth equals the building; the Body builds itself up by growing, and the growth of the Body is the Body's building up of itself—v. 16.
2　召会作为基督的身体是一个生机体，一个由神性加上人性所构成的生机构成─4~6节：
2.　The church as the Body of Christ is an organism, an organic constitution constituted with divinity plus humanity—vv. 4-6:
a　神圣的素质、元素和源头，与人性的骨架调在一起。
a.　The divine essence, element, and source are mingled with the human frame.
b　这是神今天所寻求的，也是神心愿所要的。
b.　This is what God is after today, and this is according to God's desire.
3　基督身体的建造，要引进神永远经纶的完成─三9~10，一10。
3.　The building up of the Body of Christ will usher in the fulfillment of the eternal economy of God—3:9-10; 1:10.
六　在神与人关系里生机的联结，终极完成于新耶路撒冷─启二一2~3，10~11，22：
F.　The organic union in God's relationship with man consummates in the New Jerusalem—Rev. 21:2-3, 10-11, 22:
1　一面，新耶路撒冷就是三一神;另一面，圣城就是三一神与祂赎民的调和。
1.　On the one hand, the New Jerusalem is the Triune God; on the other hand, the holy city is the Triune God mingled with His redeemed.
2　新耶路撒冷的建造，乃是在神性里的三一神与在人性里的我们的调和;因此，圣城乃是在神性里带着人性，又在人性里带着神性。
2.　The building up of the New Jerusalem is the mingling of the Triune God in His divinity with us in our humanity; therefore, the holy city is divinely human and humanly divine.
3　新耶路撒冷乃是在生机联结里相互的住处─3，22节。
3.　The New Jerusalem will be a mutual abode in the organic union—vv. 3, 22.
4　“整个新耶路撒冷乃是一个大的生机联结。”（在神与人关系里生机的联结，一○一页。）
4.　"The entire New Jerusalem will be a great organic union" (The Organic Union in God's Relationship with Man, p. 88).
贰　诡诈的撒但阻挠信徒与三一神生机联结的发展─太十三25，31~33：
II.　In his subtlety Satan has frustrated the development of the believers' organic union with the Triune God—Matt. 13:25, 31-33:
一　撒但利用基督教里的三个教派─天主教、更正教、灵恩派─阻挠得重生的人和经过过程的三一神之间生机联结的正确发展，藉此拦阻神的经纶─可四26~29，林前三1~3，6~7。
A.　Three "isms" in Christianity—Catholicism, Protestantism, and Pentecostalism— have been utilized by Satan to hinder God's economy by frustrating the proper development of the organic union between the regenerated man and the processed Triune God—Mark 4:26-29; 1 Cor. 3:1-3, 6-7.
二　撒但阻挠生机联结之发展所依循的原则，乃是把神所赐的东西拿来错误的使用。
B.　The principle Satan follows in frustrating the development of the organic union is to take something given by God and cause it to be used in a wrong way.
三　在拦阻神子民经历基督的事上，没有什么比今天的灵恩派更狡诈─加一15~16，二20，四19。
C.　Nothing is more subtle in hindering God's people from experiencing Christ than today's Pentecostalism—Gal. 1:15-16; 2:20; 4:19.
四　灵恩派最大的破坏，就是使信徒很难珍赏与基督内里生机的联结─提后四22，林前六17。
D.　The greatest damage of Pentecostalism is that it makes it difficult for believers to appreciate the inward organic union with Christ—2 Tim. 4:22; 1 Cor. 6:17.
五　“我们要认识，我们已经与三一神有生机的联结，这是一件要紧的事。祂与我们，我们与祂，调和在一起成为一。这一种生机的联结已经发生在我们的灵里。所以，我们该在我们灵里照着那灵行事为人。这就是神新约的经纶，是祂永远的定旨得以实现的路。”（加拉太书生命读经，一七六页。）
E.　"It is crucial that we realize that we have been joined organically to the Triune God. He and we, we and He, are mingled together as one. Such an organic union has taken place in our spirit. Therefore, we should walk according to the Spirit in our spirit. This is God's New Testament economy, the way in which His eternal purpose is carried out" (Life-study of Galatians, p. 144).
