接枝到基督里而成为生命树的一部分
Grafted into Christ to Become Part of the Tree of Life
« 周 纲目 »
四 我们住在葡萄树里,就有神分赐到我们里面,就是生命从生命树分赐到枝子里面;这分赐使我们成为神人—罗八10、6、11。
D As we abide in the vine, there is a dispensing of God into us, a dispensing of life from the tree of life into the branches; this dispensing makes us God-men—Rom. 8:10, 6, 11.
五 住在基督这葡萄树里,就是以祂为我们的居所,这是对神最高、最完满的经历;住在基督里面,就是在祂里面过生活,以祂为我们的一切—诗九十1,九一1、9。
E To abide in Christ as the vine is to take Him as our dwelling place, which is the highest and fullest experience of God; to dwell in Christ is to have our living in Christ, taking Him as our everything—Psa. 90:1; 91:1, 9.
六 我们若作为生命树的一部分而活,就不会在意善恶,乃在意生命;我们辨识事物,就不会照着对错,乃照着生命或死亡—创二9、16~17,林后十一3。
F If we live as part of the tree of life, we will care not for good and evil but for life, and we will discern matters not according to right and wrong but according to life and death—Gen. 2:9, 16-17; 2 Cor. 11:3.

  加二20  我已经与基督同钉十字架;现在活着的,不再是我,乃是基督在我里面活着;并且我如今在肉身里所活的生命,是我在神儿子的信里,与祂联结所活的,祂是爱我,为我舍了自己。

  罗八6  因为心思置于肉体,就是死;心思置于灵,乃是生命平安。

  神没有意思要我们不作人,也没有意思要我们作神仙,神乃是要我们作神人,作一个把神接到我们里面的人。我们的观念里没有这个。在我们的观念里,我们只想到我们自己。我们都看自己不错。可是,总还不够好,还有一些缺点,需要改良,盼望能改好一点。这改好是我们人的观念。学校的教育就是希望把人改良改良,能够比从前,甚至比现在更好。实在说来,这样的改良表面看似乎有一点用,但改到末了,有时候是越改越糟,再也没有办法了。神却不是要我们这样;……祂乃是要我们充满神,直到生命的活水像江河一样从我们里面流出来。这就是人的生命加上了神的生命,神的生命接枝在人的生命上,二命联成一命,而活出一个调和的神人生活(李文集一九九○年第三册,五一一至五一二页)。
  Gal. 2:20 I am crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.

  Rom. 8:6 For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the spirit is life and peace.

  God has no intention for us to stop being man. He has no intention for us to be spirits. God wants us to be God-men, those into whom God has been “grafted.” There is no such thing in our concept. In our concept there is only ourselves, and we consider that we are not too bad. However, we are not good enough; there are still some flaws. As a result, we need some improvement and expect some changes for the better. To change for the better is a human concept. The schools educate people with the hope that man would improve and would be better than before. Although this kind of improvement may superficially seem to work a little, in the end the person will be worse than before and will have no hope of being improved. God does not want this… He wants us to be filled with God until the living water of life flows out from us like rivers. This is to have the divine life added to the human life, to have God’s life grafted into the human life, and to have two lives becoming one life, thus living a mingled living of a God-man.

  今天我们基督徒生活的最高标准,就是达到神人调和的生活。神的目标就是把祂自己作到我们里面,到一个地步,祂成为我们,我们成为祂,祂与我们,我们与祂,生命、性情、形像完全相像。这就真的是登峰造极了,这不知道比善超越过多少。可惜我们许多基督徒,虽然得救了,对这件事并不清楚,不知道什么是真正基督徒的生活;以为基督徒的生活就是有好行为,荣耀神。但荣耀神真正的意思并不是这个,乃是把神显出来。我们常常以为,我们谦卑、忍耐、有好行为,就是荣耀神。岂不知我们所谓的谦卑、忍耐、温柔等,都不彰显神,反而都在彰显自己。

  我绝对相信,连我在内,就我们人的情形说,个个都不好。但感谢神,有一天我们都悔改了,我们信了主耶稣,呼求了祂的名,祂这圣气就进到我们里面,从此神就接枝在我们的生命里。这位在我们里面的耶稣基督就是三一神的具体化身;并且祂这具体化身的三一神,成了一个灵,就是复合的生命之灵,是多面且包罗的。这灵就是耶稣基督,就是三一神,也是我们的救赎主,是我们的真救主。祂进到我们里面,使我们在人的生命之外得着了另一个生命—神的生命。这就叫接枝的生命:神的生命接在人的生命上面,二命联成一命。这就像接枝过的树一样;所以不在乎修正,也不在乎改良,那些都是暂时的作用。我们乃是有神接枝到我们里面;祂与我们,我们与祂,二者成了一个。祂是我们的生命,我们是祂的生活;祂作我们的内容,我们成为祂的彰显。……三一神经过种种过程,进到我们里面,在我们这三部分人的灵、魂、体里作生命;并且这生命还是一个律,天天在我们里面自然地、自动自发、且满有能力地运作。……三一神就像……电,已经经过了过程:成为肉体、为人生活、钉十字架,且从死里复活,并在复活里成了赐生命的灵,进到你我里面来。这生命的灵成了一个律,天天在我们里面律我们(李文集一九九○年第三册,五一二至五一三页)。

  The highest standard of living for a Christian is to live the mingled life of a God-man. God’s purpose is to work Himself into us to the extent that He becomes us and we become Him, that we and He become completely identical in life, nature, and image. This is the pinnacle. This is much higher than being good. Unfortunately, although many of us are saved, we are not very clear about this matter and do not know what is the real Christian life. We think that the Christian life is merely to have good behavior and to glorify God. But the real meaning of glorifying God is not to do these things but to express God. We often think that to be humble, patient, and have good works is to glorify God. Actually, our so-called humility, patience, and gentleness do not express God. Rather, they express ourselves.

  I fully believe that everyone’s condition, including my own, is not quite proper. But thank God, one day we all repented, and we believed in the Lord Jesus. When we called on His name, the holy breath came into us. From that time on, God has been grafted into our life. This Jesus Christ who is in us is the embodiment of the Triune God. Moreover, this embodied Triune God has become a Spirit, who is the compound Spirit of life. He is diverse and all-inclusive. This Spirit is Jesus Christ and is also the Triune God. He is our Redeemer and our Savior as well. When He entered into us, we received another life, the life of God, in addition to our human life. This is called the grafted life. God’s life has been grafted into the human life, and the two lives have been joined to become one life. This is like the grafted branches being joined to the tree. Hence, it is not a matter of cultivation or improvement, which has only temporary results. We have God grafted into us. He and we have become one. He is our life, and we are His living. He is our content, and we have become His expression. The Triune God has been processed and has entered into us to be life in our tripartite being, that is, in our spirit, soul, and body. This life is like a law, operating daily in us in a natural, spontaneous, and powerful way… The Triune God can be compared to electricity. He has been processed and has passed through incarnation, human living, crucifixion, death, and resurrection. In resurrection He has become the life-giving Spirit and has entered into us. This Spirit of life has become a law and is regulating us day by day. (CWWL, 1990, vol. 3, “A Deeper Study of the Divine Dispensing,” pp. 409-410)
