西三10~11 并且穿上了新人；这新人照着创造他者的形像渐渐更新，以致有充足的知识；在此并没有希利尼人和犹太人、受割礼的和未受割礼的、化外人、西古提人、为奴的、自主的，唯有基督是一切，又在一切之内。

　　以弗所二章十五节说，基督借着十字架，“在祂的肉体里，废掉了那规条中诫命的律法，好把两下在祂自己里面，创造成一个新人。”接着四章二十二至二十四节告诉我们，要脱去旧人，穿上新人。这新人就是基督的身体，穿上新人的意思就是凭着基督的身体过生活。我们得救以前，是活在旧人里，活在旧社会里，但如今我们是基督的肢体，活在祂的身体里。我们应当脱去旧人连同旧的社会生活，我们也应当穿上新人，就是召会。在这新人里没有天然的事物，没有犹太人，没有希利尼人，没有社会阶级；每一个人都满了基督，所以基督是每一个人，基督也在每一个人里面（西三10~11）。在新人里没有别的，只有基督。我们的生命是基督，我们的生活是基督，我们的意念是基督，我们的雄心是基督，我们的意志是基督，我们的爱是基督，与我们有关的一切事都是基督。祂浸透了我们的全人。

　　按照以弗所四章十七至三十二节，新人是凭着恩典和真理过生活。在这一个新人的生活里，恩典和真理乃是成就神定旨的两个主要因素。神需要一个新人，在地上成就祂的定旨，完成祂的心意（圣经中的基本启示，七五至七六页）。

　　Col. 3:10-11 And have put on the new man, which is being renewed unto full knowledge according to the image of Him who created him, where there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free man, but Christ is all and in all.

　　Ephesians 2:15 says that Christ through the cross abolished “in His flesh the law of the commandments in ordinances, that He might create the two in Himself into one new man.” Then in Ephesians 4:22-24 we are told to put off the old man and to put on the new man. This new man is the Body of Christ. To put on the new man means to live a life by the Body. Before our salvation we were living in the old man, in the old society, but now we are members of Christ, living in His Body. We should put off the old man with the old social life, and we should put on the new man, the church. In this new man there is nothing natural, nothing Jewish, nothing Greek, nothing of social rank; everyone is full of Christ, so Christ is everyone, and Christ is in everyone (Col. 3:10-11). There is nothing but Christ in the new man. Our life is Christ, our living is Christ, our intention is Christ, our ambition is Christ, our will is Christ, our love is Christ, and everything else about us is Christ. He saturates our entire being.

　　This new man, according to Ephesians 4:17-32, lives a life by grace and reality. These are the two main factors in the living of such a new man to fulfill God's purpose. God needs a new man on this earth to fulfill His purpose, to carry out His intention. (CWWL, 1983, vol. 3, “The Basic Revelation in the Holy Scriptures,” p. 431)

　　创世记一章神创造人，这是一幅图画，描绘出在神新造里的新人。这就是说，旧造是新造的表号、预表。在神的旧造里中心人物是人，在神的新造里也是如此。所以，在旧造和新造中，人都是中心。

　　神创造人是按着祂自己的形像（一26），并给人祂的管治权。形像是为着彰显，神要人作祂的彰显。然而，管治权不是彰显的事，而是代表的事。神要人在祂的权柄上代表祂，为祂管理。在旧造中，人被造有神的形像以彰显祂，并有祂的管治权以代表祂。

　　形像说到神积极的目的，管治权说到神消极的目的。神积极的目的是要人彰显祂，神消极的目的是要人对付神的仇敌撒但，魔鬼。在宇宙中神有一个难处，就是对付祂的仇敌。因为神的仇敌魔鬼是受造之物，所以神不会直接对付他；神乃要借着祂创造中的一个造物—人，来对付他。神要借着人来对付祂的仇敌。因此，神创造人有两个目的：积极的目的是人有神的形像以彰显祂；消极的目的是人有神的管治权，以代表祂来对付祂的仇敌。

　　在旧造里所给人的管治权仅限于地上，就是说在旧造中对付神的仇敌只局限于地上。然而，在神的新造中，管治权扩大到全宇宙。……最后，召会这新人乃是在神的目的中所要得着的人。神要得着一个人，祂在旧造中所创造的乃是一个表号、预表，而不是真正的人。真正的人乃是基督借祂包罗万有的死，在十字架上所创造的人，这人称为新人。……旧人没有完成神的双重定旨；然而，在神新造里的新人，的确完成了彰显神并对付神仇敌的双重定旨（新约总论第七册，二九五至二九六页）。

　　God's creation of man in Genesis 1 is a picture of the new man in God's new creation. This means that the old creation is a figure, a type, of the new creation. In God's old creation the central character is man. It is the same in God's new creation. Therefore, in both the old creation and the new creation man is the center.

　　God created man in His own image (Gen. 1:26) and then gave man His dominion. Image is for expression. God wants man to be His expression. Dominion, however, is a matter not of expression but of representation. God wants man to represent Him in His authority for His dominion. In the old creation man was created to have God's image to express Him and also to have His dominion to represent Him.

　　The image refers to God's positive intention, and dominion to God's negative intention. God's positive intention is that man would express Him, whereas God's negative intention is that man would deal with God's enemy, Satan, the devil. In the universe God has a problem, the problem of dealing with His enemy. Since God's enemy, the devil, is a creature, God will not deal with him directly Himself; instead, He will deal with him by man, a creature of His creation. God deals with His enemy through man. Hence, in God's creation of man there were two intentions. The positive intention is that man would bear God's image for His expression; the negative intention is that man would have God's dominion to represent Him to deal with His enemy.

　　In the old creation the dominion given to man was limited to the earth. This means that in the old creation the dealing with God's enemy was restricted to the earth. However, in God's new creation the dominion has been enlarged to the entire universe. Eventually, the church as the new man is the man in God's intention. God wanted a man, and in the old creation He created a figure, a type, not the real man. The real man is the man Christ created on the cross through His all-inclusive death. This man is called the new man. The old man did not fulfill God's dual purpose. However, the new man in God's new creation does fulfill the twofold purpose of expressing God and dealing with God's enemy. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, pp. 2302-2303)
