肆 在经历上，在生命中作王就是在神圣生命的管治之下： |
Ⅳ In experience, to reign in life means to be under the ruling of the divine life: |
一 基督是在生命中作王的榜样，祂一直在父神圣生命的管治之下—参八5~13。 |
A Christ is a pattern of reigning in life by being under the ruling of the divine life of the Father—cf. 8:5-13. |
二 保罗是一个榜样，他在生活和职事上，都在神圣生命的管治之下—林后二12~14。 |
B Paul is an example of one who, in his life and ministry, was under the ruling of the divine life—2 Cor. 2:12-14. |
三 所有得着洋溢之恩并洋溢之义恩赐的信徒，都必须操练在神圣生命中受约束和限制；在国度管治之下的生活，乃是公义、和平并圣灵中喜乐的生活；这样生活就是作奴仆服事基督，这样的生活为神所喜悦，又为人所称许—罗十四17~18，参林前十二3。 |
C There is the need for all the believers who have received the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness to practice the restriction and limitation in the divine life; a life under the kingdom’s rule is a life of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit; to live in this way is to serve Christ as a slave, and such a life is well pleasing to God and approved by men—Rom. 14:17-18; cf. 1 Cor. 12:3. |
伍 申命记启示，正确的王首先要受神的话教导、管制、规律并支配（十七14~15、18~20）；对众召会中的长老们和我们渴望在生命中作王的众人来说，这原则也是一样（提后三14~17）： |
Ⅴ Deuteronomy reveals that a proper king first had to be instructed, governed, ruled, and controlled by the word of God (17:14-15, 18-20); this principle should be the same with the elders in the churches and with all of us who aspire to reign in life (2 Tim. 3:14-17): |
一 长老们要管理、治理召会，就必须被神的话重新构成（提前三2，五17）；结果，他们就在神的管理、神的规律和支配之下。 |
A In order to administrate, to manage, the church, the elders must be reconstituted with the word of God (1 Tim. 3:2; 5:17); as a result, they will be under God’s government, under God’s rule and control. |
二 这样，他们的决断自然会有神在其中，长老们就代表神治理召会的事务；这种治理乃是神治。 |
B Then spontaneously, God will be in their decisions, and the elders will represent God to manage the affairs of the church; this kind of management is theocracy. |
三 在以斯拉和尼希米带领之下，归回的以色列人借着神的话，集体地被神以祂自己重新构成，成为一个国，作神的见证；要重新构成神的子民，就要将他们放在神的话里，使他们被话浸透，借此教育他们—尼八1~18。 |
C Under the leadership of Ezra and Nehemiah, the returned people of Israel were collectively reconstituted by and with God through His word to be a nation as God’s testimony; to reconstitute the people of God is to educate them by putting them into the Word of God that they may be saturated with the word—Neh. 8:1-18. |
四 神的话与那灵是一（约六63，弗六17）；借着天天读圣言，神的话就在我们里面作工；并且那灵借着话，自然而然地将神的性情同神的元素，分赐到我们这人里面，使我们被神构成。 |
D The word of God is one with the Spirit (John 6:63; Eph. 6:17); through our daily reading of the divine Word, the word of God works within us, and the Spirit, through the word, spontaneously dispenses God’s nature with God’s element into our being, causing us to be constituted with God. |

申十七18 他登了国位，就要将……这律法书，为自己抄录一本。 20 免得他向弟兄心里高傲，离了这诫命，或偏左或偏右。这样，他和他的子孙在以色列中治国的日子，就得以长久。 在生命中作王，就是在神圣生命的管治之下。……主耶稣在地上，在祂的人性里作为神人所过的生活，……乃是完全在父神圣生命的管治之下。祂所作的每一件事，都是在父的管治之下。作为人，祂弃绝祂天然的人性，而在祂天父神圣生命的约束之下，过人性的生活。借着实际的在父神圣生命的管治之下，祂就在生命中作王。这是我们所该跟从的榜样。 我们必须在生命中作王，使我们能过召会生活（李文集一九九四至一九九七年第五册，五六七页）。 |
Deut. 17:18 And when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, he shall write out for himself a copy of this law in a book... 20 So that his heart may not be lifted up above his brothers and he may not turn aside from the commandment to the right or to the left; that he and his sons may extend their days over their kingdom in the midst of Israel. To reign in life is to be under the ruling of the divine life... The Lord Jesus as the God-man in His humanity on the earth... was absolutely under the ruling of the divine life of the Father. Everything He did was under the Father’s ruling. As a man, He rejected His natural humanity and lived a human life under the restriction of the divine life of His heavenly Father. By practically being under the ruling of the divine life of the Father, He was reigning in life. This is the pattern that we should follow. We must reign in life to live the church life.

保罗……设立过召会生活的榜样，为着过身体的生活（罗十五14~十六27）。……当我们在神圣生命的管治之下，我们就自然而然地传福音。……保罗首先传福音给外邦人（十五14~24），然后把他们带进基督身体的交通里，使他们借着在爱里供给耶路撒冷圣徒的需要，而与犹太召会有交通（25~33）。这就把二者都带进一个身体的交通中。 在罗马十六章一至二十四节，保罗借着推荐与问安，就把在他职事下的许多圣徒和许多地方召会联调一起，为着在基督身体宇宙的交通中有基督身体实际的生活。……今天，所有接受了洋溢之恩并洋溢之义恩赐的信徒，都需要在神圣的生命中操练受生 命的约束和限制（李文集一九九四至一九九七年第五册，五六八至五六九页）。 王要将祭司利未人面前的这律法书，为自己抄录一本（申十七18）。这里的律法是指摩西五经。……以色列人中间正确的王，乃是受神的话教导、管制、规律并支配的。 今天对召会中的长老们来说，原则也是一样。……长老们要管理、治理召会，就必须被神的圣言重新构成。结果，他们就在神的管理、神的规律和支配之下。这样，他们的决断自然会有神在其中，长老们就代表神治理召会的事务。这种治理乃是神治（申命记生命读经，一四三页）。 神对以色列的心意，是要在地上得着一班有神圣构成的百姓，作祂的见证。……他们要被重新构成，就需要借着回到神的律法，就是祂的话，而回到神面前。在以斯拉和尼希米带领下，归回的以色列人借着神的话，集体地被神以祂自己所构成，成为一个国，作神的见证。 要重新构成神的子民，就需要用神口里所出、彰显神的话教育他们。重新构成神的子民，乃是将他们放在神的话里，使他们被话浸透，借此教育他们。神的话与那灵是一（约六63，弗六17）。借着我们每天读圣言，神的话就在我们里面作工；并且那灵借着话，自然而然地将神的性情同神的元素，分赐到我们里面，使我们被神构成（圣经恢复本，尼八1注1）。 参读：申命记生命读经，第十七篇；罗马书中神完整的救恩结晶读经，第四篇。 |
Paul set up a pattern of living the church life for the living of the Body life (Rom. 15:14—16:27)... When we are under the ruling of the divine life, we will spontaneously preach the gospel... Paul first preached the gospel to the Gentiles (15:14-24) and then brought them into the fellowship of the Body of Christ with the Jewish churches through their giving in love to provide for the necessities of the saints in Jerusalem (vv. 25-33). This was to bring the two into the fellowship of the one Body. By his recommendations and greetings in 16:1-24, Paul was blending together many saints and many churches under his ministry for the practical living of the Body of Christ in the universal fellowship of the Body... Today there is the need for all the believers who have received the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness to practice the restriction and limitation in the divine life. (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 5, “Crystallization-study of the Complete Salvation of God in Romans,” p. 451) The king was to write out for himself a copy of the law in a book, out of that which was before the Levitical priests (Deut. 17:18). The law here refers to the Pentateuch... A proper king among the children of Israel was one who was instructed, governed, ruled, and controlled by the word of God. The principle should be the same with the elders in the churches today... In order to administrate, to manage, the church, the elders must be reconstituted with the holy word of God. As a result, they will be under God’s government, under God’s rule and control. Then spontaneously God will be in their decisions, and the elders will represent God to manage the affairs of the church. This kind of management is theocracy. (Life-study of Deuteronomy, p. 121) God’s intention with Israel was to have on earth a divinely constituted people to be His testimony... In order to be reconstituted, they needed to come back to God by coming back to His law, that is, His word. Under Ezra and Nehemiah the returned people of Israel were collectively constituted by and with God through His word to be a nation as God’s testimony. In order to reconstitute the people of God, there is the need to educate them with the word that comes out of the mouth of God and which expresses God. To reconstitute the people of God is to educate them by putting them into the Word of God that they may be saturated with the word. The word of God is one with the Spirit (John 6:63; Eph. 6:17). Through our daily reading of the divine Word, the word of God works within us, and the Spirit, through the word, spontaneously dispenses God’s nature with God’s element into our being, causing us to be constituted with God.
