Scripture Reading: Matt. 16:16, 18; Eph. 5:32; 3:16-17a; Gal. 4:19; S. S. 1:2-4
壹　我们若要过为着完成神永远定旨的生活，就需要认识神中心的思想─创二9~12，18，21~23，启二一2：
I.　If we would live a life for the fulfillment of God's eternal purpose, we need to know the central thought of God-Gen. 2:9-12, 18, 21-23; Rev. 21:2:
一　神中心的思想，乃是要得着基督藉着召会作神的彰显─西一15，来一3，弗一22~23，三21：
A.　The central thought of God is to have Christ as His expression through the church-Col. 1:15; Heb. 1:3; Eph. 1:22-23; 3:21:
1　神中心的思想，乃是基督必须有召会作祂的身体，祂的新妇，祂的扩增，和祂的配偶，团体的彰显基督;在全本圣经里，没有什么比这点更为中心、重要或紧要─太十六16，18，弗一22~23，五32。
1.　The central thought of God is that Christ must have the church as His Body, His bride, His increase, and His counterpart to express Christ in a corporate way; in all the Scriptures nothing is more central, vital, or important than this-Matt. 16:16, 18; Eph. 1:22-23; 5:32.
2　神中心的思想，乃是要使基督成为我们的一切，使我们，基督的身体，能在基督里作神团体的彰显─西三11：
2.　God's central thought is to make Christ everything to us so that we, the Body of Christ, can be the corporate expression of God in Christ-Col. 3:11:
a　神的心意是要将基督作到祂所拣选并救赎的人里面，作他们的生命，并使他们成为团体的彰显，好使神在基督里藉着他们得彰显─弗三16~21。
a.　God's intention is to have Christ wrought into His chosen and redeemed people to be life to them and to have them as a corporate expression so that God may be expressed in Christ through them-Eph. 3:16-21.
b　神渴望得着一班人与基督调和，变化成为基督的形像，并在基督里同被建造成团体的身体，盛装基督且彰显基督─罗八16，十二1~2，4~5。
b.　God desires to have a group of people mingled with Christ, transformed into the image of Christ, and built up together in Christ as a corporate Body to contain and express Christ-Rom. 8:16; 12:1-2, 4-5.
3　基督作神的彰显，和召会作基督的身体，构成神中心的思想;这是宇宙中极大的奥秘;我们若不领会这奥秘，就不知道宇宙的意义，和我们人生的意义─弗五32，启四11。
3.　Christ as the expression of God and the church as the Body of Christ constitute the central thought of God; this is the greatest mystery in the universe, and if we do not understand this mystery, we do not know the meaning of the universe and of our human life-Eph. 5:32; Rev. 4:11.
二　神圣心思的中心思想是，我们作活的器皿盛装神，应当在基督里接受神作我们的生命和生命的供应;我们必须变化成为金、珍珠和宝石;并且我们必须同被建造成为活的身体，作活的配偶，与基督相配─创二9~12，18，21~23，启二一2，9~12，18~21，二二17。
B.　The central thought of the divine mind is that we, as living vessels to contain God, should receive God in Christ as our life and life supply; that we need to be transformed into gold, pearl, and precious stones; and that we must be built up together as a living Body, a living counterpart to match Christ-Gen. 2:9-12, 18, 21-23; Rev. 21:2, 9-12, 18-21; 22:17.
贰　我们若要过为着完成神永远定旨的生活，就需要与神中心的工作合作─罗十二1~2，加四19：
II.　If we would live a life for the fulfillment of God's eternal purpose, we need to cooperate with the central work of God-Rom. 12:1-2; Gal. 4:19:
一　圣经管制的异象，乃是三一神将祂自己作到祂所拣选并救赎的人里面作生命，好以神圣的三一浸透并渗透他们全人─林后十三14，罗八10，6，11，弗三19。
A.　The governing vision of the Bible is the Triune God working Himself into His chosen and redeemed people as life in order to saturate and permeate their entire being with the Divine Trinity-2 Cor. 13:14; Rom. 8:10, 6, 11; Eph. 3:19.
二　神新约的经纶乃是经过过程并终极完成的三一神作到我们里面，作我们的生命、所是和人位，使我们成为祂团体的彰显─16~17节上，一22~23：
B.　God's New Testament economy is for the processed and consummated Triune God to be wrought into us to become our life, our being, and our person so that we may be His corporate expression-vv. 16-17a; 1:22-23:
1　神永远的定旨，是要将祂自己作到我们里面，作我们的生命和一切，使我们接受祂作我们的人位，活祂并彰显祂─9节，三11，加一15~16，二20，四19，腓一20~21上。
1.　God's eternal purpose is to work Himself into us as our life and our everything so that we may take Him as our person, live Him, and express Him-v. 9; 3:11; Gal. 1:15-16; 2:20; 4:19; Phil. 1:20-21a.
2　神的心意是要将基督透彻的作到我们这个人里面;但是在我们属灵的追求中，我们可能不关心这件事，而只顾到自己的意愿─加四19，腓二21。
2.　God's intention is to have Christ thoroughly worked into our being; however, in our spiritual seeking we may have no concern for this, caring instead for our own intention-Gal. 4:19; Phil. 2:21.
三　神新约的经纶专注于祂中心的工作，祂独一的工作─约五17，四34，腓二13，林前十五58，弗三16~17上：
C.　God's New Testament economy is focused on His central work, His unique work- John 5:17; 4:34; Phil. 2:13; 1 Cor. 15:58; Eph. 3:16-17a:
1　神在宇宙中的中心工作，独一工作，乃是要在基督里将祂自己作到祂所拣选并救赎的人里面，使祂自己与他们成为一─加四19，弗三17上。
1.　God's central work, His unique work in the universe, is to work Himself in Christ into His chosen and redeemed people, making Himself one with them- Gal. 4:19; Eph. 3:17a.
2　神的定旨是要将祂自己作到我们里面，使祂自己在祂神圣的三一里成为我们内里的元素;这定旨乃是宇宙的中心，离开这定旨，基督徒的生活就毫无意义─启四11。
2.　God's purpose is to work Himself into us, making Himself in His Divine Trinity our inward elements; this purpose is the center of the universe, and apart from this purpose the Christian life is meaningless-Rev. 4:11.
3　我们需要过为着神中心工作奉献的生活，并成为在神中心的工作里与神合作的人;这样的人灵里贫穷，清心，并愿意被三一神充满，以三一神作他的内容─罗十二1~2，提后一7，太五3，8，弗三16~19。
3.　We need to live a life of consecration for the central work of God and become a person who cooperates with God in His central work; such a person is poor in spirit, pure in heart, and willing to be filled with the Triune God as his content-Rom. 12:1-2; 2 Tim. 1:7; Matt. 5:3, 8; Eph. 3:16-19.
叁　我们若要过为着完成神永远定旨的生活，就需要活在神圣的罗曼史里─歌一2~4：
III.　If we would live a life for the fulfillment of God's eternal purpose, we need to live in the divine romance-S. S. 1:2-4:
一　在最纯洁、最圣别的意义上，圣经是一对宇宙配偶的罗曼史─神在基督里是新郎，神所救赎的人是新妇─约三29，太二五6，启十九7，二一2，9~10，二二17。
A.　The Bible is a romance, in the most pure and the most holy sense, of a universal couple-God in Christ as the Bridegroom and God's redeemed people as the bride-John 3:29; Matt. 25:6; Rev. 19:7; 21:2, 9-10; 22:17.
二　雅歌是一幅奇妙生动的图画，以诗意的写法，描绘新郎基督和爱祂的新妇之间新婚的爱;雅歌的主题是，一个绝佳婚姻里爱的历史，启示出个别信徒与基督爱的交通中进展的经历：吸引和追求的阶段，（一2~4，）经历十字架的阶段，（二14，）在诸天界里生活，在复活里作神新造的阶段，（四8，）以及成为圣所，就是至圣所的阶段。（六4。）─引用经文
B.　Song of Songs is a marvelous and vivid portrait, in poetic form, of the bridal love between Christ as the Bridegroom and His lovers as His bride; the subject of Song of Songs is the history of love in an excellent marriage, revealing the progressive experience of an individual believer's loving fellowship with Christ: the attracting and pursuing stage (1:2-4), the stage of experiencing the cross (2:14), the stage of living in the heavenlies to become God's new creation in resurrection (4:8), and the stage of becoming the sanctuary, the Holy of Holies (6:4).
三　惟有爱能保守我们与主有正确的关系─可十二30：
C.　Only love can keep us in a proper relationship with the Lord-Mark 12:30:
1　人无论爱什么，他的全心，甚至全人，都是摆在所爱的上面，被其霸占并得着─提前六10，提后三2~4，四8，10上。
1.　Whatever one loves, his whole heart, even his whole being, is set on and occupied and possessed by-1 Tim. 6:10; 2 Tim. 3:2-4; 4:8, 10a.
2　我们应该爱主，为着祂的权益，并按照祂的方式、口味、意愿和目标而爱祂─太十六18，弗四16，启十九7~9，二一2，10~11，二二17。
2.　We should love the Lord for His interests and according to His way, taste, intention, and goal-Matt. 16:18; Eph. 4:16; Rev. 19:7-9; 21:2, 10-11; 22:17.
3　使神渴望与我们联结、调和并合并的，乃是因着在神里面的爱;使我们渴望与祂联结、调和并合并的，也是因着在我们里面同样的爱─约壹四8，16，约十四20，23。
3.　It is the love in God that gives Him the yearning to unite, mingle, and incorporate with us, and it is the same love in us that gives us the yearning to unite, mingle, and incorporate with Him-1 John 4:8, 16; John 14:20, 23.
4　我们爱主，是因为祂先爱了我们，将祂爱的素质注入并分赐到我们里面，在我们里面产生我们用以爱祂的爱─约壹四19，罗五5，八35，39，十五30。
4.　We love the Lord because He first loved us, infusing and dispensing His loving essence into us and generating within us the love with which we love Him- 1 John 4:19; Rom. 5:5; 8:35, 39; 15:30.
5　我们要维持并发展我们向主起初的爱，就需要活在祂面前，作为器皿向祂敞开，爱祂，接受祂，享受祂，被祂充满，让祂成为我们的一切，并在我们里面、藉着我们且同着我们，作一切的事，使神永远的定旨得以完成─启二4，林后四7，罗九21，23，弗一9，三9~11。
5.　In order to maintain and develop our first love toward the Lord, we need to live before Him as vessels open to Him, loving Him, receiving Him, enjoying Him, being filled with Him, and letting Him be everything to us and do everything in us, through us, and with us for the fulfillment of God's eternal purpose-Rev. 2:4; 2 Cor. 4:7; Rom. 9:21, 23; Eph. 1:9; 3:9-11.
