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。

　　罗八23　 不但如此，就是我们这有那灵作初熟果子的，也是自己里面叹息，热切等待儿子的名分，就是我们的身体得赎。

　　神人有神圣的权利有分于神的所是。……保罗在林后三章十八节的话，……指明变化的工作不是由属于主灵的事物所作的，乃是由主灵亲自作的。因此，我们是凭神自己的所是而被变化的。

　　在以弗所三章八节，……基督追测不尽的丰富，就是基督所是的丰富。基督追测不尽的丰富分赐到我们里面，意思就是我们不仅有分于神的生命、性情和心思，更有分于祂的所是（李文集一九九四至一九九七年第四册，二七二至二七三页）。

　　2 Cor. 3:18 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.

　　Rom. 8:23 And not only so, but we ourselves also, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan in ourselves, eagerly awaiting sonship, the redemption of our body.

　　The God-men have the divine right to participate in God’s being…Paul’s word in 2 Corinthians 3:18…indicates that the work of transformation is done not by something of the Lord Spirit but by the Lord Spirit Himself. Hence, we are being transformed with God’s very being.

　　[In Ephesians 3:8] the unsearchable riches of Christ are the riches of Christ’s being, the riches of what Christ is. For the unsearchable riches of Christ to be dispensed into us means that we participate not only in God’s life, nature, and mind but also in His being. (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 4, “Incarnation, Inclusion, and Intensification,” pp. 215-216)

　　我们作为神人也有神圣的权利有分于神的形像〔林后三18〕。……这就是复活并得荣之基督的形像。在神的创造里，人是在外面按着神的形像被造；但我们所要变化成为的形像，乃是内在的。变化成为与祂同样的形像，就是模成神长子这复活得荣之基督的形像，与祂一式一样（罗八29）。

　　我们基督徒乃是神人，我们里面都有主灵，而主灵正在我们里面进行一种新陈代谢改变的过程，将我们变化成为基督的形像。新陈代谢的变化为复活得荣之基督的形像，就是有分于神的形像。

　　至终，我们要被带进神的荣耀，有分于神的荣耀。希伯来二章十节说，神要领许多的儿子进荣耀里去。保罗在罗马八章三十节说到这事：“祂所预定的人，又召他们来；所召来的人，又称他们为义；所称为义的人，又叫他们得荣耀。”得荣耀乃是神完整救恩的一步，在此神用祂生命和性情的荣耀完全浸透我们的身体。这样，祂就将我们的身体改变形状，使之同形于祂儿子复活、荣耀的身体（腓三21）。

　　神人有分于神的神性，这神圣权利的另一面乃是有分于神儿子的名分（弗一5，罗八23）。我们能有神的生命、神的性情、神的心思、神的所是、神的形像、和神的荣耀，因为我们是神的儿子。……在创立世界以前，就是在已过的永远，神预定我们，预先标出我们得儿子的名分。在时间开始以前，神就有意并定意，要我们有分于祂儿子的名分。

　　我们作为神人，也要有分于神的显出（19）。当我们的生命︱基督︱显现的时候，我们也要与祂一同显现在荣耀里（西三4）。今天神是隐藏的，但有一天祂要向全宇宙显示出来。罗马八章十九节指明，当神显示、揭露出来的时候，我们这些神的众子也要有分于那个显示、揭露。神要与祂的众子一同显示出来，他们在生命、性情、心思、所是、形像和荣耀上，将要与祂一式一样。

　　神人有神圣的权利，有分于神的神性，这包括有权利像神。约壹三章二节说，“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。”……我们不仅要有分于神的生命和性情，也要有神的样式。有神的样式乃是莫大的祝福与享受（李文集一九九四至一九九七年第四册，二七三至二七六页）。

　　As God-men, we also have the divine right to participate in God’s image [2 Cor. 3:18]…This is the image of the resurrected and glorified Christ. In God’s creation man was made in God’s image in an outward way, but the image into which we are being transformed is something inward. To be transformed into the same image is to be conformed to the resurrected and glorified Christ, as the firstborn Son of God, to be made the same as He is (Rom. 8:29).

　　We Christians, who are God-men, all have the Lord Spirit within us, and the Lord Spirit is in the process of carrying out a metabolic change in our being, transforming us into the image of Christ. To be metabolically transformed into the image of the resurrected and glorified Christ is to participate in God’s image.

　　Eventually, we will be brought into God’s glory to participate in His glory. Hebrews 2:10 says that God is leading many sons into glory. Paul refers to this in Romans 8:30: “Those whom He predestinated, these He also called; and those whom He called, these He also justified; and those whom He justified, these He also glorified.” Glorification is the step in God’s complete salvation in which God will completely saturate our body with the glory of His life and nature. In this way He will transfigure our body, conforming it to the resurrected, glorious body of His Son (Phil. 3:21).

　　Another aspect of the God-men’s divine right to participate in God’s divinity is the right to participate in God’s sonship (Eph. 1:5; Rom. 8:23). We can have God’s life, God’s nature, God’s mind, God’s being, God’s image, and God’s glory because we are God’s sons…Before the foundation of the world, that is, in eternity past, God predestinated us, marked us out, unto sonship. Before time began, God intended and determined that we would participate in His sonship.

　　As God-men, we will participate also in God’s manifestation (Rom. 8:19). When Christ our life is manifested, we will be manifested with Him in glory (Col. 3:4). Today God is hiding, but one day He will be manifested to the whole universe. Romans 8:19 indicates that when God is manifested, revealed, we, the sons of God, will participate in that revelation, in that manifestation. God will be manifested with His sons, who will be the same as He in life, in nature, in mind, in being, in image, and in glory.

　　The God-men’s divine right to participate in God’s divinity includes the right to bear God’s likeness. First John 3:2 says, “Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not yet been manifested what we will be. We know that if He is manifested, we will be like Him because we will see Him even as He is.”…We will not only participate in God’s life and nature but will also bear God’s likeness. To bear God’s likeness will be a great blessing and enjoyment. (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 4, “Incarnation, Inclusion, and Intensification,” pp. 216-217)
