第二十篇 神的律法作为神活的话对爱祂之寻求者的功用和福分
Message Twenty The Functions and Blessings of God's Law as His Living Word to His Loving Seekers
读经：诗一一九
Scripture Reading: Psa. 119
壹 在诗篇一百一十九篇，基督是律法的实际：
I. In Psalm 119 Christ is the reality of the law:
一 基督是律法（即神的见证，神的彰显）的实际;神的见证表征基督，神的具体化身（西二9），是神所是之活的描绘。─引用经文
A. Christ is the reality of the law as the testimony of God, the expressionof God; the testimony of God signifies Christ, theembodiment of God (Col. 2:9), as the living portrait of whatGod is.
二 基督是作为神的话之律法的实际，这表征基督乃是神所呼出的活话─启十九13下，提后三16~17：
B. Christ is the reality of the law as the word of God, signifyingChrist as the living Word of God breathed out by Him—Rev. 19:13b; 2 Tim. 3:16-17:
1 写成的话是字句，但活的话乃是那灵，那灵乃是字句的实际─约六63，弗六17。
1. The written words are the letters, but the living Word isthe Spirit, who is the reality of the letters—John 6:63;Eph. 6:17.
2 律法是基督这人位，而基督的人位乃是那灵─林前十五45下，林后三17。
2. The law is the person of Christ, and the person of Christ isthe Spirit—1 Cor. 15:45b; 2 Cor. 3:17.
3 那灵是神一切所是的实际（约十六13，约壹五6）;因此，基督作为那灵，乃是律法的实际。─引用经文
3. The Spirit is the reality of whatever God is (John 16:13;1 John 5:6); hence, as the Spirit, Christ is the reality of thelaw.
贰 律法有两面─字句的一面，和那灵作神福分之实际的一面─林后三6，弗一3：
II. There are two aspects of the law—the aspect of the letterand the aspect of the Spirit as the reality of God's blessings—2 Cor. 3:6; Eph. 1:3:
一 我们来就近律法的态度，若只是关切字句的诫命，我们所有的就是律法在杀死人的字句这一面。
A. If our attitude in coming to the law is to care for the commandmentsin letters, we will have the law in the aspect ofthe killing letter.
二 然而，我们若将律法的每一部分─所有的诫命、典章、律例、训辞和判语，当作我们所爱之神呼出的话，我们就会有律法赐生命之灵的这一面。
B. However, if we take every part of the law—all the commandments,ordinances, statutes, precepts, and judgments—as theword breathed out by the God whom we love, we will have thelaw in the aspect of the life-giving Spirit.
叁 律法的功用有两面：
III. There are two aspects of the function of the law:
一 律法有消极一面：
A. The law has a negative aspect:
1 律法是神的诫命，暴露人的罪，叫罪人服在神面前─罗七7下，三19~20，五20上，四15下。
1. As God's commandments, the law exposes man's sin andsubdues sinners before God—Rom. 7:7b; 3:19-20; 5:20a;4:15b.
2 律法是神的规条，带着律例、典章和仪文，其功用是将神所拣选的人看守在其监管之下，好带他们归于基督─加三23~24。
2. As God's regulations with statutes, ordinances, and rituals,the law functioned to guard God's chosen people in itscustody that they might be conducted to Christ—Gal.3:23-24.
二 律法有积极一面：
B. The law has a positive aspect:
1 律法是神活的话，其功用是将活神供应给寻求祂的人─诗一一九2、88。
1. As God's living word, the law functions to minister theliving God to His seekers—Psa. 119:2, 88.
2 律法是神活的话，其功用是将神自己作为生命和光，分赐到那些爱律法的人里面─25、50、107、116、130、154节。
2. As God's living word, the law functions to dispense GodHimself as life and light into those who love the law—vv. 25, 50, 107, 116, 130, 154.
3 律法是神活的话，其功用是苏醒人的魂，快活人的心─十九7~8。
3. As God's living word, the law functions to restore man'ssoul and make man's heart joyous—19:7-8.
4 律法是神活的话，其功用是给我们带来救恩─一一九41、170。

5 律法是神活的话，其功用是使我们坚立（28），安慰我们（76），并滋养我们（103）。─引用经文
5. As God's living word, the law functions to strengthen(v. 28), comfort (v. 76), and nourish us (v. 103).
6 律法是神活的话，其功用是扶持我们，使我们存活，使我们有盼望─116~117、49节。
6. As God's living word, the law functions to uphold us, keepus safe, and cause us to hope—vv. 116-117, 49.
7 律法是神活的话，使我们享受神作我们的业分─57节。
7. As God's living word, the law causes us to enjoy God as ourportion—v. 57.
8 律法是神活的话，使我们享受神的面（58），以及祂脸上的光照（135）。─引用经文
8. As God's living word, the law causes us to enjoy God'scountenance (v. 58) and the shining of His face (v. 135).
9 律法是神活的话，使我们享受神作我们的藏身之处和盾牌（114），也享受神的帮助和善待（175、65）。─引用经文
9. As God's living word, the law causes us to enjoy God as ourhiding place and shield (v. 114) and also enjoy God's helpand well-dealing (vv. 175, 65).
10 律法是神活的话，其功用是使我们有智慧并且通达─98~99节。
10. As God's living word, the law functions to make us wiseand give us understanding—vv. 98-99.
11 律法是神活的话，其功用是赐给我们正确的明辨和知识─66节。

12 律法是神活的话，其功用是保守我们不犯罪，不走一切的邪路─11、101节。
12. As God's living word, the law functions to keep us fromsinning and from every evil way—vv. 11, 101.
13 律法是神活的话，保守我们不绊跌（165），使我们的脚步稳当，并使我们胜过罪孽（133）。─引用经文
13. As God's living word, the law keeps us from stumbling(v. 165), establishes our footsteps, and causes us to overcomeiniquity (v. 133).
三 律法在我们的经历中是积极的或是消极的，在于我们的心接受律法的情形：
C. Whether in our experience the law is positive or negativedepends on the condition of our heart in receiving the law:
1 我们若爱神，谦卑自己，把律法当作神活的话，借以接触祂并住在祂里面，律法就要成为管道，借此将神圣的生命和本质传输给我们，作我们的供应和滋养;我们借着律法作为神的话，得着神本质的注入，就在生命、性情和彰显上与神成为一，并自然而然过彰显神且符合祂律法的生活─罗八4，腓一21上。
1. If we love God, humble ourselves, and regard the law as Hisliving word through which we contact Him and abide inHim, the law will become a channel through which the divinelife and substance are conveyed to us for our supplyand nourishment; being infused with God's substancethrough the law as God's word, we will become one withGod in life, nature, and expression and will spontaneouslylive a life that expresses God and corresponds to His law—Rom. 8:4; Phil. 1:21a.
2 然而，我们到律法这里来，若不在爱里寻求神，反而把律法与活的神这生命的源头分开，那原本为要带进生命，本身却不能赐生命的律法，对我们就成为定罪和杀死的元素─出十九8，约五39~40，罗七10~11，加三21，林后三6~7、9，参出二三19下与注2。
2. However, if in coming to the law we do not seek God in lovebut rather separate the law from the living God as thesource of life, the law, which was intended to result in lifebut cannot give life of itself, will become a condemning andkilling element to us—Exo. 19:8; John 5:39-40; Rom. 7:10-11;Gal. 3:21; 2 Cor. 3:6-7, 9; cf. Exo. 23:19b and footnote 2.
肆 与律法有关的有两种人：
IV. There are two kinds of people in relation to the law:
一 第一种是守字句的人，由热中犹太教者和大数的扫罗为例─腓三6下、2。
A. The first kind is the letter-keepers, illustrated by the Judaizersand Saul of Tarsus—Phil. 3:6b, 2.
二 第二种是寻求神的人，由诗人（特别是一百一十九篇的著者）和使徒保罗为例─林后三6：
B. The second kind is the God-seekers, illustrated by the psalmists,especially by the writer of Psalm 119, and by the apostlePaul—2 Cor. 3:6:

1. Rich in meaning, the Hebrew word for muse implies to worship,to converse with oneself, and to speak aloud; to museon the word is to taste and enjoy it through careful considering.
