一　圣经的基本思想，是三一神渴望将祂自己作到我们里面，使我们接受祂作生命并且活祂─弗三16~17上，腓一21上。

IV.　"That Christ may make His home in your hearts…that you may be filled unto all the fullness of God"—Eph. 3:17a, 19b:
一　我们需要得以加强到里面的人里，结果基督就能安家在我们心里，进而以祂自己来占有、得着、浸润、并浸透我们里面的人─16~17节上。
A.　We need to be strengthened into the inner man with the result that Christ could make His home in our hearts and thereby occupy, possess, permeate, and saturate our inner being with Himself—vv. 16-17a.
二　当基督安家在我们心里，我们就被充满，成为神一切的丰满，就是三一神终极完成的团体彰显─19节下。
B.　When Christ makes His home in our hearts, we will be filled unto all the fullness of God—the ultimate consummation of the corporate expression of the Triune God—v. 19b.

二　基督身体的长大在于我们里面神的增长，神的增多：
B.　The growth of the Body depends on the growth of God, the increase of God, within us:
1　神是以非常主观的方式把祂自己赐给我们，而叫我们生长─林前三6~7。
1.　God gives the growth by giving Himself to us in a very subjective way— 1 Cor. 3:6-7.
2　神越加到我们里面，就越使我们生长。
2.　The more God is added to us, the more growth He gives to us.
3　神使我们生长，事实上乃是把祂自己赐给我们。
3.　For God to give us growth actually means that He gives us Himself.
柒　“直到我们众人…达到了长成的人，”“在基督里成熟”─弗四13，西一28：
VII.　"Until we all arrive…at a full-grown man," "full-grown in Christ"—Eph. 4:13; Col. 1:28:
一　我们需要对生命的长进有正确的认识：
A.　We need to have the proper understanding of the growth of life:
1　生命的长进不是行为的改善，不是敬虔的表现，不是热心的事奉，不是知识的加增，不是恩赐的显多，不是能力的加大。
1.　The growth of life is not the improvement of behavior, the expression of piety, zealous serving, the increase of knowledge, to abound in gifts, or the increase of power.
2　生命的长进是神成分的加多，（二19，）是基督丰满身量的增长，（弗三17上，四13，）是圣灵地位的开展，（五18，）是人成分的减少，是天然生命的破碎，是魂的各部分被征服。（提后一7。）─引用经文
2.　The growth of life is the increase of the element of God (2:19), the increase of the stature of the fullness of Christ (Eph. 3:17a; 4:13), the expanding of the ground of the Holy Spirit (5:18), the decrease of the human element, the breaking of the natural life, and the subduing of every part of our soul (2 Tim. 1:7).
二　成为长成的人，乃是在生命里成熟;成熟乃是得着神圣生命一再分赐到我们里面，直到我们有生命的丰满─约十10下，林后五4下。
B.　To be a full-grown man is to have the maturity in life; maturity is a matter of having the divine life imparted into us again and again until we have the fullness of life—John 10:10b; 2 Cor. 5:4b.
三　在基督里成熟，乃是因基督这神圣生命的成分成熟，直到长成─西一28。
C.　To be full-grown in Christ is to mature with Christ as the element of the divine life unto full growth—Col. 1:28.
四　神永远的定旨只能借着我们的变化和成熟得着完成─创一26，林后三18，西一28，二19。
D.　God's eternal purpose can be accomplished only through our transformation and maturity—Gen. 1:26; 2 Cor. 3:18; Col. 1:28; 2:19.
