西二10　 你们在祂里面也得了丰满。祂是一切执政掌权者的元首。

　　林前一30 但你们得在基督耶稣里，是出于神，这基督成了从神给我们的智慧：公义、圣别和救赎。

　　因为神格一切的丰满是在基督里面，又因为我们已经被摆在祂里面（林前一30），所以我们在祂里面就得了丰满。……所有相信基督的人都已经被摆在基督里了〔加三27〕。因此我们与祂联合并且与祂是一。结果，祂所是的一切、所有的一切都归我们，祂所经历的一切也成了我们的历史。……不仅如此，因着我们与基督是一，我们就有分于祂所完成、所得着并所达到的一切（歌罗西书生命读经，二一九页）。

　　Col. 2:10 And you have been made full in Him, who is the Head of all rule and authority.

　　1 Cor. 1:30 But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became wisdom to us from God: both righteousness and sanctification and redemption.

　　Because all the fullness of the Godhead is in Christ and because we have been placed in Him (1 Cor. 1:30), we have been made full in Him....All those who believe in Christ have been put into Christ [Gal. 3:27]. Therefore, we are identified with Him and one with Him. The result is that all He is and all He has belongs to us, and all that He has experienced is our history....Furthermore, because we are one with Him, we partake of all that He has accomplished, obtained, and attained. (Life-study of Colossians, p. 178)

　　我们是包罗万有之基督的肢体。我们已经被摆在祂里面，与祂联合，实实在在“嫁”给祂了。因此，我们与祂乃是一。凡祂所经过的一切，现今乃是我们的历史；祂所得着并所达到的一切，乃是我们所承受的基业。我们是在这样一位基督里，祂也在我们里面。我们已经被摆在祂里面，与祂是一，并且接受了祂一切的所是和所有。……虽然有些基督徒对这事有道理上的认识，但仅仅在头脑上领会与基督联合是不够的。我们需要运用信心，好有分于我们在基督里所有的一切。我们不该认为自己是可怜的，正如一个贫穷的女子嫁给富有的人之后，就不该再认为自己是贫穷的。即使她可能感觉贫穷，但她必须操练应用这事实：她丈夫的丰富是属于她的。照样，因着我们与基督是一，我们就不该看自己是贫穷的。相反的，我们需要充分地体验我们在基督里所有的。

　　有些基督徒喜欢在祷告中宣告他们多贫穷、多可怜、多卑下。这种祷告是没有信心、没有把握的祷告。我们需要有充分的确信，相信我们与这位丰富、包罗万有的基督是一，与那是三一神一切丰满之具体化身者是一。我们若凭充分的确信来体验这事，就绝不会认为自己是贫穷的了。

　　不要相信你对自己的感觉，乃要望断以及于基督。运用你的信心，实化祂的所是、祂所经过、祂所得着并所达到的以及今天祂在那里。祂既是在第三层天上，我们又与祂是一，我们也就在第三层天上。……我们已经被摆在那追测不尽之丰富的基督里了。……在这位基督里，我们得了完全，得以完备。在祂里面，我们一无所缺。不要谈论说，你多么缺乏；因为你在基督里，你是一无所缺的。在祂里面乃是丰满、完全和完备。事实上，祂自己就是丰满、完全和完备。因为我们在祂里面，所以我们是完全、完备的；我们一无所缺。我们是一班有基督之丰富的人。

　　在以弗所三章八节，保罗说到基督那追测不尽的丰富。我们比亿万富翁还富足，因为我们所有的丰富无法计算。我们无法想像我们在基督里所拥有的是何等丰富。我们常常祷告说，“主啊！我又贫穷、又可怜。”但少有人祷告说，“主啊！我感谢你，我是富足、完备、充满的。主耶稣，因着我在你里面，我就比最有钱的亿万富翁还富有。我一无所缺。”我盼望你读过这篇信息之后，能开始这样的祷告。要告诉主、天使、甚至魔鬼，说，你比地上任何亿万富翁还富足，因为你乃是在基督里面，祂的丰富是追测不尽的（歌罗西书生命读经，二二○至二二一页）。

　　We are members of the all-inclusive Christ. We have been put into Him, identified with Him, truly “married” to Him. Hence, we are one with Him. All that He has passed through is now our history, and all that He has obtained and attained is our inheritance. We are in such a Christ, and He is in us. We have been placed into Him, we are one with Him, and we receive all that He is and has. Although some Christians have a doctrinal knowledge of this, a mere mental understanding of our union with Christ is not adequate. We need to exercise faith in order to partake of all that is ours in Christ. We should not consider ourselves poor, just as a poor woman who has married a rich man should no longer think of herself as poor. Even though she may feel poor, she must practice applying the fact that the riches of her husband belong to her. In like manner, because we are one with Christ, we should not regard ourselves as in poverty. To the contrary, we need to have a full realization of what we have in Christ.

　　In their prayers, some Christians like to declare how poor, pitiful, and low they are. This kind of prayer is without faith or assurance. We need to believe with full assurance that we are one with the rich, all-inclusive Christ, with the One who is the embodiment of all the fullness of the Triune God. If we realize this with full assurance, we shall never consider ourselves poor.

　　Do not believe your feelings about yourself, but look away to Christ. Exercise your faith to realize what He is, what He has passed through, what He has obtained and attained, and where He is today. Since He is in the third heaven and we are one with Him, we are in the third heaven also....We have been placed into the Christ who is unsearchably rich. In this Christ we are made perfect, complete. In Him we do not lack anything. Do not talk about how much you lack. Because you are in Christ, you lack nothing. In Him is the fullness, the perfection, the completion. Actually, He Himself is the fullness, perfection, and completion. Because we are in Him, we are complete and perfect; we lack nothing. We are those who possess the riches of Christ.

　　In Ephesians 3:8 Paul speaks of the unsearchable riches of Christ. We are more than billionaires because the riches we have are greater than can be counted. We simply have no idea what vast riches we possess in Christ. Often we have prayed, “Lord, I am poor and pitiful.” But not many have prayed in this way: “Lord, I thank You that I am rich, complete, and full. Lord Jesus, because I am in You, I am richer than the wealthiest billionaire. I am short of nothing.” I hope that after reading this message, you will begin to pray in this way. Tell the Lord, the angels, and even the demons that you are richer than any earthly billionaire because you are in the Christ whose riches are unsearchable. (Life-study of Colossians, pp. 178-179)
