二 三部分之人的变化,乃是神的行动,要使人成为神,使人被经过过程并终极完成的三一神所构成;在神向约伯的显现中,约伯看见了神,使他得着神,好为着神的目的被神变化—伯三八1~3,四二1~6,林后三16~18,来十二1~2上: |
B The transformation of the tripartite man is God’s move to deify man, to constitute man with the processed and consummated Triune God; in God’s appearing to him, Job saw God in order to gain God to be transformed by God for the purpose of God—Job 38:1-3; 42:1-6; 2 Cor. 3:16-18; Heb. 12:1-2a: |
1 看见神的结果是我们被变化成为神的形像;因此,我们越在灵里观看祂这终极完成的灵,就越将祂一切的成分作为神圣的元素接受到我们里面,以排除我们老旧的元素,使我们全人成为新的;我们的基督徒生活不在于外面的改变,乃在于从里面被变化—林后三18,诗二七4,加六15~16。2 我们借着心转向主,以没有帕子遮蔽的脸观看并返照祂,就能天天留在变化的过程中;没有帕子遮蔽的脸就是转向主的心—林后三16、18: |
1 Seeing God issues in the transformation of our being into God’s image; hence, the more we look at Him as the consummated Spirit in our spirit, the more we receive all His ingredients into our being as the divine element to discharge our old element so that our whole being becomes new; our Christian life is not a matter of changing outwardly but of being transformed from within—2 Cor. 3:18; Psa. 27:4; Gal. 6:15-16. |
a 心转向主,就是爱主;我们越爱主,我们的心向主就越敞开,祂就有路从我们的灵扩展到我们心的各部分。 |
2 We can remain in the daily process of transformation by turning our heart to the Lord so that we can behold and reflect Him with an unveiled face; an unveiled face is a heart that turns to the Lord—2 Cor. 3:16, 18: |
b 心转向主,把心向主敞开,是我们生命长大的秘诀;我们可以借着简单的告诉主:“主啊,我爱你,我要讨你喜悦,”而向主敞开我们的心。 |
a To turn our heart to the Lord is to love the Lord; the more we love the Lord, the more our heart will be open to the Lord, and He will have a way to spread out from our spirit into all the parts of our heart. |
c 我们一天过一天在一切的境遇中观看主(诗二七4),就返照主的荣光,并渐渐变化成为主的形像,从荣耀到荣耀。 |
b To turn our heart to the Lord, to open our heart to the Lord, is the key to our growing in life; we can open our heart to the Lord simply by telling the Lord, “O Lord, I love You; I want to please You.” |
d 许多基督徒不喜乐,因为他们里面的圣灵不喜乐(弗四30,参诗十六11,四三4,徒三19~20,出三三11、14~17,来一9,耶十五16,约十五9~11,约壹一3~4,约贰12,腓四4);我们的心若不转向主,不让主的灵从我们的灵扩展到我们的心里,我们定规是拘束、下沉的。 |
c As we behold the Lord day after day in all our situations (Psa. 27:4), we will reflect the Lord’s glory and be transformed into His image from glory to glory. |
e 主的灵在哪里,哪里就有自由(林后三17);若有人说聚会沉闷,我们就要领悟是他自己里面沉闷;然而当我们的心转向主,我们就享受那灵作我们的自由。 |
d Many Christians are not joyful because the Spirit within them is not joyful (Eph. 4:30; cf. Psa. 16:11; 43:4; Acts 3:19-20; Exo. 33:11, 14-17; Heb. 1:9; Jer. 15:16; John 15:9-11; 1 John 1:3-4; 2 John 12; Phil. 4:4); if we do not turn our heart to the Lord to let the Spirit of the Lord spread out of our spirit into our heart, we will feel restrained and depressed. |
f 释放的灵一有路扩展到我们心的各部分,我们就得释放、超脱且自由;这自由就是荣耀,就是神的同在和神的显出;我们觉得高尚、尊贵、光荣,因为我们正在被变化成为祂的形像—18节,创一26。 |
e Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom (2 Cor. 3:17); if someone says that a meeting is boring, we must realize that it is he himself who is bored within; but when we turn our heart to the Lord, we enjoy the Spirit as our freedom. |

林后三16~18 但他们的心几时转向主,帕子就几时除去了。而且主就是那灵;主的灵在哪里,哪里就有自由。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。 〔我们的〕心怎样向主开启呢?每当我们要定规一件事,要有一个主张的时候,我们都该先转向主说,“主啊,我爱你,我愿意讨你的喜悦。”这样,我们的心志就向主打开了。这一打开,主就进到我们的心志里。每一次我们有所爱好,有所愿望时,我们都当在那里停一停,对主说,“主啊,我爱你,我要讨你的喜悦。”这样,我们的心情向主就开启了,主当然就进到我们的心情里了。同样的,每一次我们思想一件事时,先把我们的思想停一停,对主说,“主啊,我爱你,我要讨你的喜悦。”这就是我们在心思里,向主开了一个口,主就能从这个口,进到我们心思里。……我们如此一再地在心思……里,向主敞开,主的灵就能一再地得着机会,进到我们魂的各部分(基督徒生命成熟的路,一五六至一五七页)。 |
信息选读
什么时候我们的心向主敞开,什么时候这个灵就会从我们里面,往外面扩展到我们的心思、心情、心志里。……〔这事〕有一个明显的证明,就是林后三章所说的自由。……(17)。你的心思里一有主的灵,你的心思定规有自由;你的心情里一有主的灵,你的心情也一定有自由;你的心志里一有主的灵,你的心志也必定是自由的。 若有人说聚会沉闷,我们就要领悟是他自己里面沉闷,因为他的灵,他里面沉闷,就感觉一切都沉闷。……你若不让主的灵出来,你这个人定规是拘束、下沉的。……你的心思、心情、心志就都……不自由,而没有喜乐。……你不让灵通过,你自然没有自由。 林后三章十八节说,“好像镜子观看并返照。”我们这个面孔,若是有条帕子盖上去,我们和屋内的电光就有间隔,有遮蔽了;等我们把这个帕子拿去,我们的面孔和电光就面对面,就能看见那个电光;这就好像从镜子里返照。灵在我们里面,我们就有自由,就敞着脸,面对面朝着主,主的荣光照在我们脸孔上,我们就如同镜子返照祂的荣光。这是没法装假的。 我们一天天爱主,一天天给主机会,主一天天地从我们里面出来,我们就一天天地长大,一天天地变化,最终变成主的形状。……这个形状就是主自己。人在我们身上看见一种光景,说是主的形状也可以,说是荣耀也可以,说是自由、释放也可以,说是主或主的灵的同在也可以。因为这五个就是一个。主就是那灵,灵在哪里,哪里就有自由,有了自由就敞着脸,得以看见主的荣耀,从荣耀到荣耀,就变成主的形状。 主从我们里面活出来,我们就长大、成熟了。所以,我们的心要向主敞开,要让祂从我们的灵里出来,进到我们的心思、心情、心志里。……我们的思想像祂的思想,我们的爱好像祂的爱好,我们的主张像祂的主张,我们这些人就有祂的形状(基督徒生命成熟的路,一五八至一六○、一六四至一六六页)。 参读:基督徒生命成熟的路,第十至十二篇。 |
2 Cor. 3:16-18 …Whenever their heart turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. And the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. But we all with unveiled face, beholding and reflecting like a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord Spirit. How do we open our heart to the Lord? Whenever we have to make a determination or decision, we should first say to the Lord, “O Lord, I love You. I am willing to please You.” This kind of prayer opens our will to the Lord, and once our will is opened, the Lord will enter into it. In addition, whenever we love or desire something, we should stop for a moment and say to the Lord, “O Lord, I love You. I want to please You.” This opens our emotion to the Lord. When we do this, the Lord will surely enter into our emotion. Similarly, whenever we begin to think about something, we should stop our thinking for a moment and say to the Lord, “O Lord, I love You. I want to please You.” This kind of statement opens our mind to the Lord, and through this opening, the Lord will be able to enter into our mind. Whenever we open to the Lord in our mind, the Lord’s Spirit will gain the opportunity to enter into the different parts of our soul.
