罗六4~5　所以我们借着浸入死，和祂一同埋葬，好叫我们在生命的新样中生活行动，像基督借着父的荣耀，从死人中复活一样。我们若在祂死的样式里与祂联合生长，也必要在祂复活的样式里与祂联合生长。

　　向神活着，就是在神圣的生命里对神尽义务，在复活的生命里向神负责。我们在与基督生机的联结中，经历复活的生命。在这复活的生命中，我们自然而然地被神约束，并且对祂尽义务。这也在于生机的联结。

　　因着我们已经与基督同钉十字架，所以现在活着的，不再是我们，乃是基督在我们里面活着。我们不再活在旧人、天然的人里面。反之，基督活在我们里面。然后在复活里，我们在神儿子的信里活。在神儿子的信里活，意思就是活在我们因信神的儿子，而有与祂生机的联结里。

　　我们凭着灵（加五16、25），与基督一同向神活着（罗六8、10）。这是在我们的经历中，对经过过程之三一神的享受（加拉太书生命读经，一○一至一○二页）。

　　Rom. 6:4-5 We have been buried therefore with Him through baptism into His death, in order that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so also we might walk in newness of life. For if we have grown together with Him in the likeness of His death, indeed we will also be in the likeness of His resurrection.

　　To be living unto God is to be obligated to God in the divine life, to be responsible to God in the resurrection life. In the organic union with Christ, we experience resurrection life. In this resurrection life we are held to God spontaneously and are obligated to Him. This also depends on the organic union.

　　Because we have been crucified with Christ, it is no longer we who live, but Christ lives in us. We no longer live in the old man, the natural man. Rather, Christ lives in us. Then in resurrection we live in the faith of the Son of God. To live in the faith of the Son of God means to live in the organic union with the Son of God, which comes through our believing in Him.

　　We live to God with Christ (Rom. 6:8, 10) and through the Spirit (Gal. 5:16, 25). This is the enjoyment of the processed Triune God in our experience. (Life-study of Galatians, p. 83)

　　我们离开主所作的一切，都是出于肉体。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）。

　　植物界里所谓的接枝，就是把两棵树结合在一起。〔就如〕把一棵甜树枝接在酸树上，……最后这两个生命联结在一起，成为一个生命，再结出来的果子，就是甜树借着酸树的一个彰显。就着酸树来说，甜树是它的生命，现在活着的，乃是甜树在它里面活着。若是酸树能说话，它就要宣告说，“无论是风霜，是雨雪，总叫甜树在我身上得着彰显。”这个就是基督徒的生活（宇宙的奥秘与人生的意义，二五页）。

　　我们所领受并且天天在经历的救恩，乃是在神圣三一的生机联结里。……每当我们呼求耶稣的名，生机的联结就发生在我们里面。……我们与主之间有生命的联结，生机的联结。……我们相信主耶稣之前，与主是分开的。然而，在我们得救时，我们里面发生了一些美妙的事。

　　我们重生的基督徒，都有另一位与我们同在。我们与祂有生机的联结。……我们是生机地与主耶稣有了联结。当我们心里相信，口里呼求祂的名时（罗十9），这生机的联结就发生并完成在我们里面（三一神在祂神圣三一生机联结里的生机体，一三至一五页）。

　　罗马十二章从生机的联结，从联结的生命这个角度，论到基督的身体，这个生命不但把我们与基督联结在一起，也把我们与基督所有的肢体联结在一起。我们原是生在亚当里，但神把我们从亚当里带出来，借着重生把我们移植到基督里。重生把我们带进与基督生机的联结里，使我们成为基督的一部分。生机地在身体里，意思就是我们必须生机地与基督联结，因而被栽植到祂的身体里。然后，我们就与基督的身体有生机的联结，成为身体的一部分（新约总论第十册，一○九页）。

　　Anything we do independently of the Lord is of the flesh. 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)

　　In botany, grafting means to unite two trees...[such as] a branch of a sweet tree into that of a sour tree....Eventually, these two lives are joined together to become one life. The fruit produced thereafter is the expression of the sweet tree through the sour tree. To the sour tree, the sweet tree is its life, so it is no longer the sour tree that lives, but it is the sweet tree that lives in it. If the sour tree could speak, it would declare, "As always, even now the sweet tree will be magnified in my body, whether through wind and frost or through rain and snow." This is the life of a Christian. (CWWL, 1985, vol. 5, "The Mystery of the Universe and the Meaning of Human Life," p. 351)

　　The very salvation that we have received and that is being experienced by us day by day is in the organic union of the Divine Trinity.... When we call upon the name of Jesus, an organic union transpires within us....There is a union in life, an organic union, between us and the Lord....Before we believed in the Lord Jesus, we were just ourselves apart from the Lord. When we were saved, however, something wonderful transpired within us.

　　Another One is with us regenerated Christians. We have an organic union with Him. We are united with the Lord Jesus organically. This organic union is accomplished and transpires within us when we believe in our hearts and when we call on His name with our mouths (Rom. 10:9). (CWWL, 1988, vol. 3, "The Organism of the Triune God in the Organic Union of His Divine Trinity," pp. 473-475)

　　Romans 12 speaks of the Body from the angle of the organic union, that is, from that of the uniting life, a life that unites us together, not only with Christ but with all the other members of Christ. Formerly, we had been born in Adam, but God took us out of Adam and transplanted us into Christ by rebirth. It is rebirth, or regeneration, that has brought us into an organic union with Christ, thus making us a part of Christ. To be organic in the Body means that we must be organically united with Christ and thereby planted into His Body. Then we will have an organic union with the Body of Christ and become a part of the Body. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, p. 3106)
