诗歌：大本399首

读经：伯一1、8，二3、9，二七5，三一6，四二5~6，约一14，罗一3~4，八29

　　创一26 神说，我们要按着我们的形像，照着我们的样式造人……。

　　伯二3 ……你曾用心察看我的仆人约伯没有？……他仍然持守他的纯全。

　　约壹三2 亲爱的，我们现在是神的儿女，将来如何，还未显明；但我们晓得祂若显现，我们必要像祂；因为我们必要看见祂，正如祂所是的。

　　约伯记一章一节说，“乌斯地有一个人名叫约伯；这人完全且正直，敬畏神，远离恶事。”完全，与我们里面的人有关；正直，与我们外面的人有关。不仅如此，正直也是不弯曲，不偏斜。约伯不仅里面完全、外面正直，更在积极一面敬畏神，在消极一面远离恶事。然而，……神造人不仅是要人敬畏祂、不犯错。圣经告诉我们，神乃是按着自己的形像，照着自己的样式造人，为叫人彰显祂（创一26）。这是一切积极事物中最积极的事。……最积极的事乃是彰显神。彰显神比敬畏神和远离恶事更高（约伯记生命读经，一一至一二页）。

　　另一个说到约伯这人的辞是“纯全”。在约伯记二章三节耶和华告诉撒但说，约伯“仍然持守他的纯全”。在九节约伯的妻子问他：“你仍然持守你的纯全么？”在二十七章五节约伯对他的朋友说，“我至死必不丢弃自己的纯全。”最后在三十一章六节约伯宣告说，“愿神……知道我的纯全。”纯全是完全和正直的总和，是完全加上正直的总和。就约伯而言，纯全是他这人的总体表现。在性格上，他是完全、正直的；在道德上，他有高标准的纯全。

　　 约伯敬畏神，远离恶事，神要得着像他这样的人并不容易。然而约伯所达到的全是虚空，并没有完成神的定旨，也没有满足神的愿望。因此，神对约伯有爱的关切。……在道德上，约伯很好。按照人的看法，约伯没有问题。神甚至向撒但夸奖约伯如何好（一8，二3）。唯有神知道约伯有一个需要，就是他缺少神。

　　至终，神的目的是要使约伯成为属神的人（提前六11，提后三17），充满了作神具体化身的基督，成为神的丰满，好在基督里彰显神，而不是一个高道德标准的人，有天然的完全、天然的正直和天然的纯全，那是约伯想要维持并持守的（伯二3、9上）。这样一个按着神的经纶由神所构成的人，绝不会受任何难处和问题所困惑，以致咒诅自己的生日，宁愿死不愿活。

　　神在祂经纶里的心意，乃是要把祂自己分赐到我们里面，作我们的生命和性情，使我们在生命和性情上能成为与祂一样，以彰显祂。……神的剥夺和神的销毁是要拆毁我们。我们是堕落、天然的人；身为这样的人，我们需要被拆毁。……然后祂才有一个根据，有一条路来重新建造我们。

　　神在祂经纶里的心意，不是要使堕落的人成为健全，乃是要把我们拆毁，然后用祂自己重建我们，以祂自己作我们的生命和性情，好叫我们这人完完全全与祂成为一。

　　神在约伯身上施行剥夺和销毁，好将他拆毁，使神能有一个根据和一条路，用神自己重建约伯，使他成为神人（约伯记生命读经，一二、二○、一三、三五、四二页）。

　　参读：约伯记生命读经，第五、二十三篇；过照着神启示之高峰的生活，第五篇。

　　提前六11 但你这属神的人啊，要逃避这些事，竭力追求公义、敬虔、信、爱、忍耐、温柔。

　　提后三17 叫属神的人得以完备，为着各样的善工，装备齐全。

　　神人不仅有两个生命，也有人性与神性两种性情。……宗教总是培养人天然的性能，好建立人的自己。教育也是这样，只是建立人。圣经表面上也是作这事，但实际上并非如此。圣经不是建立天然的人，乃是建立神人。我们由神所生，乃是神的儿女。

　　我在主职事里的负担，不是要建立你们作温和的人、善良的人或斯文的人。我释放了上千篇信息，说到如何作基督人，神人。在主的恢复里，我们的教导不是要栽培好人，……〔而〕是要培养神人。

　　我们需要借看见而认识，我们有神的生命和神的性情。这里有一个事实，就是神圣的生命与我们人的生命调和。所以，我们必须学习如何不凭我们人的生命活着，乃凭神的生命与我们人的生命相调而活，使我们成为神圣的（神人，一○至一一页）。

　　Another word used in relation to Job the man is integrity. In Job 2:3 Jehovah tells Satan that Job “still holds fast his integrity.” In verse 9 Job’s wife asks him, “Do you still hold fast your integrity?” In 27:5 Job says to his friends, “Until I die, I will not put away my integrity from me.” Finally, in 31:6 Job declares, “Let God know my integrity.”… Integrity is the totality of being perfect and being upright; it is the totality of perfection plus uprightness. With respect to Job, integrity is the total expression of what he is. In character he is perfect and upright, and in his ethics he has a high standard of integrity.

　　It was not easy for God to gain a person like Job who feared God and turned away from evil. Yet what Job had attained was altogether vanity. It did not fulfill God’s purpose, and it did not satisfy God’s desire. Thus, God was lovingly concerned for Job. Ethically speaking, Job was very good. According to human eyes, there was no problem with Job. God even boasted to Satan regarding how good Job was (v. 8; 2:3). Only God knew that Job had a need, that he was short of God.

　　Eventually, God’s intention was to make Job a man of God (1 Tim. 6:11; 2 Tim. 3:17), filled with Christ, the embodiment of God, to be the fullness of God for the expression of God in Christ, not a man of the high standard of ethics in Job’s natural perfection, natural uprightness, and natural integrity, which Job attempted to maintain and hold (Job 2:3, 9a). Such a person, constituted with God according to His economy, would never be entangled by any troubles and problems so that he would curse his birth and prefer to die rather than to live.

　　In His economy God’s intention is to dispense Himself into us to be our life and our nature that we may be the same as He is in life and nature in order to express Him….God’s stripping and God’s consuming are to tear us down. We are fallen and natural men. As such men, we need to be torn down…. Then God can have a base, a way, to build us up again.

　　In His economy God’s intention is not to make fallen man whole. Rather, God’s intention is to tear us down and rebuild us with Himself as our life and our nature that we may be persons who are absolutely one with Him.

　　God’s stripping and consuming were exercised over Job to tear Job down that God might have a base and a way to rebuild him with God Himself that he might become a God-man. (Life-study of Job, pp. 9-10, 17, 10-11, 29, 34-35)

　　我受教导要非常有德行。至终，我发现我不能爱人，我不能谦卑，我也不能有忍耐、仁慈、圣别或公义。我很失望，挣扎了许久。有一天，我看见……只有神是圣别的。一块黑铁不可能变成金子。我看见神所要的，乃是进到我里面，作我的内容，作我的圣别，作我的“金子”。当我看见并领悟这点，我极为兴奋。我想要告诉每一个人，我有神在我里面，神是我的内容。神是我的生命，我的圣别，我的爱，我的慢，和我的一切。我是一个器皿，一个容器，为要盛装神，并被神充满。

　　 不要凭着自己去爱人。你越试着爱人，最后你会越恨人。你若试着要谦卑，你就会骄傲。你里面甚至可能有一种态度—“你难道不知道我是这么谦卑么？”这是骄傲。你以你的谦卑为傲。

　　伊甸园里有两棵树—生命树和善恶知识树（创二9）。恶总是随着善；恨总是随着爱；骄傲总是随着谦卑。……神要的是生命。神不要你作好人，神要你作神人。……但你若仅仅是好人，你就绝不能成为神的彰显。神按祂自己的形像造人，目的是要彰显神。当我们成为充满神的神人，我们就彰显神。神人乃是神的彰显。

　　这样彰显神的神人乃是神的代表。他代表神，有神的权柄管理万有。神按着祂自己的形像造人来彰显祂，神也将祂的管治权给人，使人可以为祂掌权（一26）。彰显神、代表神的，不是好人，乃是神人。神的形像是为使我们彰显神，神的管治权是为使我们代表神。我们有神自己在我们灵里，所以我们可以被神充满，作满了神的神人，来彰显神和代表神。这就是照着神圣的经纶，将神自己分赐到我们里面。……我必须见证，我唯一的负担和独一的兴趣，就是神的经纶。神要将祂自己分赐到我们里面，使我们成为神人，不是好人。基督徒不仅仅是好人，更是神人。我们是按着神的形像造的，有灵来接受神到我们里面，作我们的生命、生命的供应和一切，好成为我们的内容，使我们成为神人（李文集一九八四年第三册，一三至一六页）。

　　参读：神人，第一章；长老训练第一册，第三章。

　　路一35 天使……说，圣灵要临到你身上，至高者的能力要覆庇你，因此所要生的圣者，必称为神的儿子。

　　罗八29 因为神所预知的人，祂也预定他们模成神儿子的形像，使祂儿子在许多弟兄中作长子。

　　我们使用与神有关的“属性”，以及与人有关的“美德”。主耶稣兼有神圣的性情同神圣的属性，以及属人的性情同属人的美德。……因为主耶稣由带着神圣素质的圣灵成孕，祂有神圣的性情同神圣的属性。因为祂由带着属人素质的童女所生，祂有属人的美德。所以，当祂在地上的时候，祂是过着属人且神圣的生活。祂过为人生活，但在那生活中，神圣的属性得以彰显（新约总论第三册，一四○页）。

　　I was taught that I should be very virtuous. Eventually, I discovered that I could not love, I could not be humble, and I could not be patient, kind, holy, or righteous. I became very disappointed and struggled for a long time. One day I saw that… only God can be holy. There is no possibility for a piece of black iron to be gold. I saw that what God wanted was to enter into me to be my contents, to be my holiness, to be my “gold.” When I saw and realized this, I became greatly excited. I wanted to tell everyone that I had God in me, that God was my contents. God is my life, my holiness, my love, my slowness, and my everything. I am a vessel, a container, to contain God and to be filled with God.

　　Do not try in yourself to love others. The more you try to love others, the more you will eventually hate others. If you try to be humble, you will be proud. You may even have the inward attitude—”Don’t you know that I am so humble?” This is pride. You are proud of your humility.

　　In the garden of Eden there were two trees—the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Gen. 2:9). Evil always goes with good. Hatred goes with love. Pride goes with humility….God wants life. God does not want you to be a good man, but God wants you to be a God-man….You can never be an expression of God if you are merely a good man. God made man in His own image for the purpose of expressing God. When we become a God-man who is filled with God, we express God. A God-man is an expression of God.

　　Such a God-man, expressing God, is God’s representative. He represents God, and he has God’s authority over all things. God created man in His own image to express Him, and God gave His dominion to man that man may reign for Him (Gen. 1:26). It is not a good man but a God-man who expresses God and represents God. God’s image is for us to express God, and God’s dominion is for us to represent God. We have God Himself in our spirit, and we can be filled with God and full of God to express Him and represent Him as a God-man. This is the dispensing of God Himself into us according to the divine economy. I must testify that my only burden and my unique interest is God’s economy. God wants to dispense Himself into us to make us God-men, not good men. A Christian is not merely a good man but a God-man. We were made in God’s image with a spirit to receive God into us as our life, our life supply, and our everything to be our very contents for us to be God-men. (CWWL, 1984, vol. 3, “The Divine Economy,” pp. 10-12)

　　在主耶稣里面，人与神，神与人调和，形成满了神圣属性和人性美德的组成。

　　在成为肉体时，基督这位神……由神成孕，有神圣的属性，祂由人类而生，有人性的美德。……在基督里面，神圣的属性与人性的美德成为一；就是说，……调和一起成为一。……所以，……祂在地上就过一种生活，有神的属性彰显在人的美德里。

　　今天活在我们里面的基督，仍有那由神圣属性所加强并丰富的人性美德。那分赐到我们里面的基督，乃是神圣性情同神圣属性，以及属人性情同属人美德的组成。祂在地上的时候，过着这二者所组成的生活。等到祂复活以后，祂就寻求在信徒里面过祂在地上所过的这种生活。这就是说，今天基督在我们里面，仍要过一种生活，是神圣性情同神圣属性，以及属人性情同属人美德的组成。我们若看见这点，就会与保罗同说，“现在活着的，不再是我，乃是基督在我里面活着。”（加二20）（新约总论第三册，一四○至一四一页）

　　在人救主的神人生活里，人的美德成了彰显神属性的外壳、形像，使神在人的生活里得着彰显。我们从这点看见，我们的人性美德—我们的爱、光、圣、义—只是外壳，是……神所创造的形像〔创一26〕。

　　如果我们看见这点，我们就能够回答……〔这〕问题：主耶稣受死完成救赎以前，为什么必须在地上生活三十三年半。如果祂在地上只生活很短的时间，在祂的生活里神圣的属性就只有短暂的彰显。……但人救主过了三十三年半完全的为人生活。在那些年间，证明祂是没有瑕疵、没有残缺的。祂在任何一面都没有失败。祂的美德是一种形像，为着彰显神的属性。因此，神在祂的生活里得着彰显。

　　主的神人生活……构成祂之于信徒的模型。……这模型是为着信徒里面神人的“大量生产”—复制。在工厂里，制造模型可能用去许多时间，……模型造好……就用来大量生产。同样的，人救主的神人生活将祂构成模型，使祂现今在我们里面得以复制（路加福音生命读经，六○七至六○八页）。

　　约五19 ……子从自己不能作什么，唯有看见父所作的，子才能作；父所作的事，子也照样作。

　　　十四10 我在父里面，父在我里面，你不信么？我对你们所说的话，不是我从自己说的，乃是住在我里面的父作祂自己的事。

　　神愿意成为人，有一天，祂也成了一个人，在地上作为一个神人而生活。但是当祂这神人活在地上的时候，祂所过的生活不是凭祂属人的生命，乃是凭祂神圣的生命。祂是神圣的，祂要成为人，祂也成了人，但祂所过的人性生活，却不是凭着祂的人性，乃是凭着祂的神性。祂是带着神性而来的一个人，祂活在地上不仅是神，也是人。祂是个神人，但不是凭人的生命活着，乃是凭神的生命活着。所以祂的人性生活不是凭属人的生命活出来，乃是凭神圣的生命活出来的；但是在神圣的生命里，有人性的元素，并且在属人的生命里，有神性的元素。神圣的属性成了人性的美德（过照着圣经中神圣启示高峰之生活实行的路，二四页）。

　　In the Lord Jesus man and God, God and man, are mingled to form a composition full of the divine attributes and the human virtues.

　　In His incarnation Christ, the very God,…was conceived of God to have the divine attributes, and He was born of mankind to have the human virtues…. In Christ the divine attributes and the human virtues are one; that is,… mingled together as one….Therefore,… He lived a life on earth with the attributes of God expressed in the virtues of man.

　　Today the Christ who lives in us is still the One who possesses the human virtues strengthened and enriched by the divine attributes. The Christ who is being dispensed into us is a composition of the divine nature with its divine attributes and the human nature with its human virtues. While He was on earth, He lived a life that was a composition of these two. From the time of His resurrection He has been seeking to live in the believers the kind of life He lived on earth. This means that within us today Christ is still living a life that is a composition of the divine nature with its divine attributes and the human nature with its human virtues. If we see this, we shall say with Paul, “It is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me” (Gal. 2:20). (The Conclusion of the New Testament, pp. 655-656)

　　In the Man-Savior’s God-man living, man’s virtues became a shell, an image, to express God’s attributes so that God may be expressed in man’s living. From this we see that our human virtues—our love, brightness, holiness, and righteousness—are just a shell, the image created by God [Gen. 1:26]. If we see this, we shall have the answer to the question… concerning why it was necessary for the Lord Jesus to live on earth for thirty-three and a half years before He died to accomplish redemption. If He had lived on earth only a short time, there would have been only a momentary expression of the divine attributes in His living….The Man-Savior lived a full human life for thirty-three and a half years. During those years He was proved to be without defect or imperfection. He did not fail in any way. His virtues were an image for an expression of God’s attributes. Therefore, God was expressed in His living.

　　The Lord’s God-man living…constituted a prototype to His believers….This prototype is for the “mass production,” the reproduction, of the God-man in the believers. In a factory, a great deal of time may be spent to produce a prototype,… [which is] then used for mass production. In a similar way, the Man-Savior’s God-man living constituted Him a prototype so that He may now be reproduced in us. (Life-study of Luke, pp. 525-526)

　　〔神成为肉体〕产生一个神人，在地上过一种生活，不是凭祂属人的生命，乃是凭祂神圣的生命。祂在地上的日子，一直把自己摆在十字架上。祂留在十字架上死，好叫祂能凭神活，不是彰显人，乃是使神圣的属性成为人性的美德，而彰显神。这是第一个神人作为原型的生活。今天我们是祂的复制品，是祂的许多复本，所以我们该过同样的生活。

　　就内在的意义说，跟从耶稣乃是作这第一个神人复印的翻版。跟从耶稣就是要过神人的生活，不凭属人的生命，乃凭神圣的生命，好叫神能彰显或显现于肉体，使祂神圣的属性成为人性的美德。……所以，过照着圣经中神圣启示高峰之生活实行的路，就是你必须是个神人。你这位神人必须过一种生活，不是凭你自己，乃是凭另外一位；不是凭你属人的生命，乃是凭祂神圣的生命；不是彰显你自己，乃是彰显祂的神性，使祂神圣的属性，全都成为你人性的美德。

　　基督不凭祂属人的生命，乃凭祂神圣的生命，过人性的生活。……祂乃是死而活。祂整个三十三年半的生活，天天都是在那里死。祂向自己死，使祂得以向父活（约五19、30，八28）。

　　基督在地上的时候，一直在十字架底下，不彰显祂自己，乃彰显父。有一天，腓力对祂说，“主啊，将父显给我们看……。”（十四8）主回答说，“腓力，我与你们同在这样长久，你还不认识我么？人看见了我，就是看见了父……。”（9）门徒看见主耶稣，但是他们看见祂时，就是看见父。这给我们看见，祂乃是父的彰显。

　　基督使祂自己这第一个神人成为一个原型，好大量复制许多弟兄—许多神人（罗八29）。我作基督徒六十九年了。经过这么多年，神叫我只知道这一件事，就是神成为人，为要使人在生命和性情上，但不在神格上，成为神。这是我唯一的负担，我唯一的信息。神与人要成为一个实体，而这一个实体，就是神性与人性的调和。这个调和要终极完成于新耶路撒冷，那就是整本圣经的总结（过照着圣经中神圣启示高峰之生活实行的路，二五至二八页）。

　　参读：圣经的四要素—基督、那灵、生命、召会，第三章。

　　约十二24 我实实在在地告诉你们，一粒麦子不落在地里死了，仍旧是一粒；若是死了，就结出许多子粒来。

　　罗八16 那灵自己同我们的灵见证我们是神的儿女。

　　我们的第二个出生，使我们得进神的国，成为神的种类。动物和植物都有其特别的种类。我们是从神而生，所以我们是众神，属于神的种类。我们应当一直记得，我们是神人，属于神的种类。

　　我们既是从神而生的神人，且属于神的种类，我们对自己的配偶说话时，就不可随便。作丈夫的必须是神人，生活像神人。只是作好人，离神的喜悦太远了。我们必须看见，我们是神人，从神而生，并且属于神的种类。这是神人生活的开端（神人的生活，一二至一三页）。

　　[The incarnation of God] produced a God-man, who lived on the earth not by His human life but by His divine life. All the days when He was on earth, He put Himself on the cross. He remained on the cross to die that He might live by God, not to express man but to express God in His divine attributes becoming man’s virtues. This was the life of the first God-man as a prototype. Today we are His reproduction, His many copies, so we should live the same kind of life.

　　Intrinsically speaking, to follow Jesus is to be a xerox copy of that first God-man. To follow Jesus is to live the life of a God-man, not by the human life but by the divine life, so that God may be expressed, or manifested, in the flesh in all His divine attributes becoming the human virtues…. So the practical way to live a life according to the high peak of the divine revelation is that you must be a God-man. As a God-man, you need to live a life not by yourself but by another One, not by your human life but by His divine life, not to express yourself but to express His divinity in His divine attributes, which all become your human virtues.

　　Christ lived a life of humanity, not by His human life but by His divine life…. He died to live. He was dying every day during His whole life of thirty-three and a half years. He died to Himself that He might live to the Father (John 5:19, 30; 8:28). Christ was under the cross all the time on the earth, expressing not Himself but the Father. One day Philip asked Him, “Lord, show us the Father…” (John 14:8). The Lord responded, “Have I been so long a time with you, and you have not known Me…? He who has seen Me has seen the Father…” (v. 9). The disciples saw the Lord Jesus, but when they saw Him, they saw the Father. This shows that He was the expression of the Father.

　　Christ made Himself, the first God-man, a prototype for the mass reproduction of many brothers, the many God-men (Rom. 8:29). I have been a Christian for about sixty-nine years. After so many years I have been made by God to know only one thing—God became man so that man may become God in life and in nature but not in the Godhead. This is my unique burden, my unique message. God and man will become one entity, and that one entity is the mingling of divinity with humanity. This mingling will consummate in the New Jerusalem, which is the conclusion of the entire Bible. (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 2, “The Practical Way to Live a Life according to the High Peak of the Divine Revelation in the Holy Scriptures,” pp. 53-55)

　　主耶稣这神人说，祂是一粒麦子要落在地里死了，而成为许多子粒（约十二24）。这许多子粒实际上就是许多的神，作神的复制。头一个子粒—第一个神人—是原型，由这一子粒借着死与复活所产生的许多子粒—许多神人—是大量复制。这是神的复制。有些人听见神被复制，也许感到震惊，……然而，这正是约翰十二章二十四节所启示的。

　　神真正的嗜好是要在全地许多国家得着祂的复制。这样的复制使神喜乐，因为祂的复制看起来像祂，说话像祂，生活像祂。神在这复制里，祂的复制有祂的生命、祂的性情和祂的构成。

　　虽然我们是神的复制，但这复制—神的嗜好—不是这样完整或完全，因为我们许多有神生命的人，没有凭祂的生命而活。有些人的确凭神的生命而活，但他们没有不断凭祂的生命而活。可能早晨他们凭神的生命而活，但后来他们发了脾气，于是就活得像蝎子。……晚上他们也许变得更坏，活得像魔鬼撒但。……有一天，主耶稣转向爱祂的彼得，对他说，“撒但，退我后面去吧！”（太十六23上）因为彼得成了撒但，他就需要背起他的十字架，使撒但被置于十字架。

　　在我们日常的生活中，我们也许有时候是神，有时候是蝎子，有时候像撒但。因为这是我们实际的情况，我们当然需要被变化。

　　自从一九六二年这职事到了美国以来，我实际上只传讲一件事—神成为人，为要使人在生命和性情上成为神。然而，直到一九九四年二月，我才得着这样清楚的看见，有沉重的负担要告诉神的子民，我们众人都在生命和性情上（但不在神格上）是神。认识我们是谁，并领悟我们是谁，会使我们有革命性的改变。假定某位活得像蝎子的弟兄，领悟他是神的儿女，在生命和性情上是神，这位弟兄立刻会有彻底的改变。与他有关的气氛和一切也会随之改变。倘若今天所有的基督徒都领悟，他们在生命和性情上是神，整个世界都会不一样。已往十个月里，我常查问自己：“一个神人是这样么？你说信徒已在生命和性情上成为神，但你现在是什么？你是神或是别的东西？”我的回答是要悔改，并求主赦免，因为至少有一些我作的事，不是在祂里面或照着祂作的。这种领悟使我有革命性的改变（历代志生命读经，一二至一四页）。

　　参读：历代志生命读经，第二、四、十三篇；基督为父用神圣的荣耀所荣耀的结果，第一至三章。

　　约三6　 ……从那灵生的，就是灵。

　　林后三18 但我们众人既然以没有帕子遮蔽的脸，好像镜子观看并返照主的荣光，就渐渐变化成为与祂同样的形像，从荣耀到荣耀，乃是从主灵变化成的。

　　我们在路加福音看见，基督如何成为肉体，过神人的生活。我们在腓立比书看见，基督如何从我们活出来，为要得着祂自己的许多翻版。所有的基督徒都应当是这独一神人的翻版。

　　我们如何能成为这样的翻版，这样的复制？首先，我们需要在我们的灵里从是灵的基督重生，然后我们需要在我们的魂里，逐渐被是灵的基督变化。这样我们自然会借着祂的灵全备的供应，活神人基督，接受祂的心思，好像发光之体照耀生命的话，返照祂的光。我们也要给人看出我们是在基督里面，有祂作我们超凡的义，在祂复活的大能里模成祂的死。然后我们就要在神为人所造的一切人性美德里彰显祂。这些美德是由神人的神圣属性所加强、丰富并充满的（路加福音生命读经，六二九至六三○页）。

　　The Lord Jesus, the God-man, said that He was a grain of wheat falling into the ground to die in order to become many grains (John 12:24). These many grains are actually many gods as the reproduction of God. The first grain—the first God-man—was a prototype, and the many grains—the many God-men—produced by this one grain through death and resurrection are the mass reproduction. This is the reproduction of God. When some hear that God has been reproduced, they may be shocked…. Nevertheless, this is what is revealed in John 12:24.

　　God’s real hobby is to have His reproduction in many nations around the globe. Such a reproduction makes God happy because His reproduction looks like Him, speaks like Him, and lives like Him. God is in this reproduction, and His reproduction has His life, His nature, and His constitution.

　　Although we are God’s reproduction, this reproduction—God’s hobby—is not so complete or perfect, because many of us who have God’s life do not live by His life. Some do live by God’s life, but they do not live by His life continually. Perhaps in the morning they live by God’s life, but later in the day they may lose their temper and live like a scorpion…. In the evening they may become even worse, living like the devil, Satan….One day the Lord Jesus turned to Peter, someone who loved Him, and said to him, “Get behind Me, Satan!” (Matt. 16:23a). Because Peter had become Satan, he needed to bear his cross so that Satan could be put on the cross.

　　In our daily living we may be God at one time, a scorpion at another time, and Satan at yet another time. Because this is our actual situation, we surely need to be transformed.

　　Since the ministry began in the United States in 1962, I have actually ministered only one matter—God becoming a man that man may become God in life and in nature. However, it was not until February 1994 that I received such a clear view with a heavy burden to tell God’s people that we all are God in life and in nature but not in the Godhead. To know who we are and to realize who we are revolutionizes us. Suppose a certain brother who has been living like a scorpion realizes that, as a child of God, he is God in life and in nature. Immediately this brother will be radically changed. The atmosphere and everything related to him will also be changed. If all of today’s Christians realized that they were God in life and in nature, the whole world would be different. During the past ten months, I have often checked with myself: “Is a God-man like this? You have spoken that the believers have become God in life and in nature, yet what are you now? Are you God or are you something else?” My answer has been to repent and ask for the Lord’s forgiveness because at least some of the things I did were not in Him or according to Him. This realization has revolutionized me. (Life-study of 1 & 2 Chronicles, pp. 11-12)

　　作为基督精华的那灵，包含最高标准道德的元素。当那灵在我们里面运行时，最高人性美德的元素也在我们里面运行。主拯救我们不发脾气，不是……神奇的作什么。祂乃是以住在我们里面者的身分，在我们里面运行，并使祂自己与我们调和，借此拯救我们。如果我们转向祂这位在我们灵里的，呼求祂的名，祂就会带着祂的一切元素，在我们里面运行。祂是这样来拯救我们的（路加福音生命读经，六一六至六一七页）。

　　 我们所传的这位神，经过成为肉体，死而复活，成了那赐生命的灵。今天祂既是神又是人。当祂来成为人，活在地上时，祂并没有把神性放弃，……所以有的解经家就称祂作“神人”。……这位进到我们里面的灵，不仅有神性，也有人性。在得救以前，我们不只没有神性，连我们的人性也是堕落的。但我们得救以后，我们不仅有神性，我们也得着了最高的人性，使我们能过一种高超的生活。我们不是拘守什么外面的规条，乃是里面多了一个成分，就是主耶稣基督超越的人性。……因着祂的神性，我们就能活出神性一切的荣耀；因着祂的人性，我们就能活出人性一切的美德。所以一个真正得救，凭着里面的灵活着的人，在他身上就自然流露出神的荣耀和人的美德。

　　我们的主是神，又是人。在全世界所有的传记中，没有一个人像新约四福音所记载的主耶稣。当我们读的时候，不仅惊奇祂的神性，更受祂人性的美德所感动、所吸引。祂的为人、态度、待人实在太奇妙了，祂的人性实在超凡。我们赞美祂！这样一位神而人者，竟然乐意住在我们里面。祂经过成为肉体，死而复活，成为赐生命的灵。如今在等候人呼求祂，相信祂。我们一呼求祂的名，接受祂作救主，祂就进到我们里面，我们就和祂有生机的联结。当我们向祂敞开，爱祂，渴慕与祂联结为一，我们里面就天天被祂充满、被祂据有。这样我们所活出来的，就是神性的荣耀和人性的美德。这是何等荣耀，何等美好，何等甜美的生活！（李文集一九八三年第三册，一九七至一九八页）
