提前六11 但你这属神的人啊，要……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。

　　一面约伯承认他是会朽烂，会销毁之物〔伯十三28〕，另一面约伯仍觉得他在任何事上都没有错。约伯知道神察看他一切的道路，并为他的脚掌划定界限（27），所以他要神向他说明情况。

　　我们需要看见，神永远的经纶，就是神永远的目的同祂心头的愿望，要将祂自己在祂神圣的三一里，作为父在子里借着那灵，分赐到祂所拣选的人里面，作他们的生命和性情，使他们与祂一样，作祂的丰满，祂的彰显。

　　神的经纶是神的计划、神的安排，要把祂自己，祂的元素、生命、性情、属性，以及祂所完成、所达到的一切，都分赐到祂所拣选的人里面，使他们在神圣源头的神圣元素里，由神圣的素质所构成，而重新被建造，好成为神圣的。我们在接受神的分赐之前，仅仅是属人的；神用神圣的构成重新建造我们之后，我们就像主耶稣一样，在人性里带着神性，也在神性里带着人性。……我们借着基督得了重生，成为祂的一部分，如今也与祂一样，在人性里带着神性，又在神性里带着人性（约伯记生命读经，六五至六七页）。

　　1 Tim. 6:11 But you, O man of God,…pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, meekness.

　　2 Tim. 3:17 That the man of God may be complete, fully equipped for every good work.

　　On the one hand, Job recognized that he was something rotten, something that would waste away [Job 13:28]. On the other hand, Job continued to feel that he was not wrong in anything. Realizing that God had watched his paths and had set limits for him (v. 27), Job wanted God to explain the situation to him.

　　We need to see the eternal economy of God, which is God’s eternal intention with His heart’s desire to dispense Himself in His Divine Trinity as the Father in the Son by the Spirit into His chosen people to be their life and nature that they may be the same as He is for His fullness, His expression.

　　God’s economy is God’s plan, God’s arrangement, for God to dispense Himself in His element, life, nature, and attributes, and all that He has achieved and attained into His chosen people that they may be rebuilt by being constituted with the divine essence in the divine element of the divine source to be something divine. Before receiving God’s dispensing, we were merely human. After God’s rebuilding with the divine constitution, we, like the Lord Jesus, become divinely human and humanly divine…Having been regenerated by Christ, we have become a part of Him, and now we are the same as He is—divinely human and humanly divine. (Life-study of Job, pp. 55-56)

　　重生的人在人性里带着神性，又在神性里带着人性，自然而然成了一个生机体，就是基督的身体；基督的身体就是神的

　　召会作神新造里的新人，以完成神的新“事业”，就是建造基督的身体，作三一神的丰满和彰显。这丰满乃是三一神的生机体，要终极完成于新耶路撒冷。圣经开始于神在祂的创造里，这乃是起初；圣经结束于新耶路撒冷，就是三一神和一切祂所拣选、救赎、重生、变化、模成并荣化之三部分人的调和。因此，新耶路撒冷乃是神和人的构成，要彰显神，直到永远。

　　基督不仅是圣经的中心，也是神经纶的中心和普及。在这经纶中，基督成为肉体，上十字架，经过钉死；从死里出来，进入复活；在复活里，祂从神而生，成为神的长子，并且祂这末后的亚当成了赐生命的灵，重生祂所有的信徒，使他们在生命和性情上与祂一样，成为祂的众弟兄，并神的众子。这些神的众子，加上神的长子，就成了一个新人，以基督作头，召会作身体，以完成神永远的定旨，终极完成于新耶路撒冷。

　　我们若看见这个关于神经纶的启示，就能明白约伯记。约伯受神的剥夺和销毁，却不明白发生在他身上的事。……他知道神有一个定旨，却不知道神的定旨是什么。

　　新约的主要内容，乃是三一神照着祂美意而有的永远经纶，要在祂的生命和性情上，将祂自己分赐到祂所拣选并救赎的人里面，使他们都在生命和性情上与祂一模一样，使他们成为祂的复制，以彰显祂。这团体的彰显要终极完成于新耶路撒冷。因此，新耶路撒冷就是成为肉体的扩大和扩增，达到完满的总结，就是三一神的丰满，让祂在祂调和着人性之神性里彰显祂自己。这就是新约的内容，这就是约伯所需要的答案，这也就是神所给关于约伯受苦之目的的答案（约伯记生命读经，六七至六八、七三至七四页）。

　　The regenerated ones, who are divinely human and humanly divine, spontaneously become an organism, the Body of Christ, which is the church of God as the new man in God’s new creation to carry out God’s new “career,” that is, to build up the Body of Christ for the fullness, the expression, of the Triune God. This fullness as the organism of the Triune God will consummate in the New Jerusalem. The Bible begins with God in His creation as the initiation and ends with the New Jerusalem, which is the mingling of the Triune God and all His chosen, redeemed, regenerated, transformed, conformed, and glorified tripartite people. The New Jerusalem is thus a constitution of God with man to express God for eternity.

　　Christ is not only the center of the Bible but also the centrality and universality of God’s economy. It was in this economy that Christ became incarnated, that He went to the cross to pass through crucifixion, that He came out from death and entered into resurrection, and that in resurrection He was begotten of God to be God’s firstborn Son and as the last Adam became the life-giving Spirit to regenerate all His believers to make them the same as He is in life and nature that they might become His brothers and the sons of God. These sons plus the Firstborn all become a new man, with Him as the Head and with the church as His Body, to carry out God’s eternal purpose to consummate in the New Jerusalem.

　　If we see this revelation concerning God’s economy, then we will be able to understand the book of Job. Job suffered God’s stripping and consuming, but he did not understand what was happening to him…He knew that God had a purpose, but he did not know what God’s purpose was.

　　The main contents of the New Testament are that the Triune God has an eternal economy according to His good pleasure to dispense Himself into His chosen and redeemed people in His life and in His nature, to make all of them the same as He is in life and nature, to make them His duplication that they may express Him. This corporate expression will consummate in the New Jerusalem. Thus, the New Jerusalem is simply the enlarged, the increased, incarnation consummated in full, that is, the fullness of the Triune God for Him to express Himself in His divinity mingled with humanity. These are the contents of the New Testament, and this is the answer that Job needed. This is God’s answer concerning the purpose of Job’s suffering. (Life-study of Job, pp. 56-57, 62)
