   读经:创二916~17罗五12约十四19罗八2
壹  我们若要看见创世记二章里两棵树的内在意义,就必须看见神永远的心意与撒但反抗的计谋:
一  神永远的心意是要进到我们里面,成为我们的生命─弗一4~5约十10下,十四19
1  神渴望祂照着自己所造的人,在人的生命之外,得着神的生命─十10下。
2  神要使自己与我们成为一,并使我们与祂成为一,好使我们能活祂;祂成为我们的生命,我们成为祂的生活─十四19
a  我们能住在基督里面,并且有祂住在我们里面,指明我们与祂乃是一;这是神永远的心意─十五4~5
b  神永远的心意乃是,因为基督活着,我们也要活着;我们在祂的活里面活着,祂在我们的活里面活着─十四19加二20
二  撒但反抗的计谋乃是将他自己注入人里面─创三1~7罗五12
1  当撒但将他自己注入人里面,他就成了人里面的罪与死─12节,七8~91117太十六23弗二2
2  撒但的生命、性情和素质已注入人性里;这是撒但反抗的计谋─创三1~7
3  称为魔鬼的儿女,意思是由撒但所生;他的生命和性情在他的儿女里面─约壹三10约八44
贰  生命树表征神连同祂永远的心意,善恶知识树表征撒但连同他反抗的计谋─创二916~17
一  在神眼中,关于这两棵树,要紧的乃是人要吃正确的树,就是生命树─16~17节。
二  神的心意乃是要祂照着自己所造的人,有份于生命树─一26二9
1  生命树表征三一神具体化身在基督里,以食物的形态作人的生命─约一14六4851
2  神把人摆在生命树跟前,指明神要人借着生机的吃祂并新陈代谢的吸收祂,接受祂作人的生命,使神能成为人所是的构成成分─创二9
3  神的心意是要将祂自己当作生命树,栽种到人里面,使人与祂一同增长,好使人能彰显祂─一26二9
4  神是要人有份于生命树而得着神的生命,与神联合,好让神得着人,以成功祂的计划,并除灭撒但─一26~27
三  善恶知识树表征撒但是人死亡的源头─二16~17来二14
1  撒但反抗的计谋,乃是要将他自己当作罪与死,栽种到人里面,因而浸透人,并与人一同增长─创三1~7
2  撒但诱惑人的目的,就是要引诱人接触善恶知识树,使这树的生命─撒但的生命─进到人里面─罗五12约八44
3  撒但是要人有份于善恶知识树而有他的生命,与他茍合,好让他窃取人,成功他的恶意,而破坏神的计划。
参  创二9的两棵树已经成了罗八2的两个律:
一  罗八2的“律”这字不是指诫命,而是指立定的原则;这两个律乃是自然运行的。
二  律是自己会运行的。
三  那里有生命,那里就有那生命的律;生命和其生命的律是不能分开的。
四  每种生命不只是由律所支配,每种生命都是律。
五  神圣的生命是最强的生命,神圣生命的律也是最强的律;我们有个律在我们里面运行,那是宇宙中最强的律。
六  每棵树都是律;律来自树─创二9罗八2
1  我们既有两棵树长在我们里面,我们里面就有两个律在运行:
a  生命树栽种到我们里面,就成了律在我们里面运行─生命之灵的律。
b  善恶知识树在我们里面也成了一个律─罪与死的律。
2  这两棵树连同其律─罪与死的律和生命之灵的律─现今都在我们里面运行。
七  借着头一次的出生,我们有了罪与死的律;凭第二次的出生,我们有了生命之灵的律─诗五一5约三35~615
八  这位神已经经过过程,如今乃是那灵住在我们灵里;祂就是生命之灵的律─七39加三2514罗八2
九  神借着生命之灵的律的运行,拯救我们脱离罪与死的律─2节。
肆  凭生命树活着,就是自自然然的凭生命之灵的律活着─创二9罗八2
一  在基督徒的生活中有一个重要的原则,就是人活着不是凭着自己的意志,乃是凭着生命之灵的律─七15~16八2
二  我们基督徒的生活不该再受我们的意志所支配,乃该受运行在我们里面的生命之灵的律自然的运行所支配。
 
Ⅰ  A law is something that operates by itself.
Ⅱ  Every life is a law:
A  Where there is a life, there is also the law of that life; life is inseparable from the law of its life.
B  Every kind of life is not only governed by a law—every life is a law.
C  Every tree is a law; the law comes from the tree:
1  When the tree of life entered into us, it became a law.
2  The tree of the knowledge of good and evil has also become a law within us.
3  Since we have two trees growing within us, we have two laws operating within us.
Ⅲ  Romans 8 shows us that God's life is given to us to be our law:
A  The two laws in Romans 8:2 are not commandments but principles; these laws operate by nature.
B  These two laws—the law of sin and of death and the law of the Spirit of life—are operating within us; their work is according to law, not activity.
C  God has not only given us life—He has given us the law of life.
D  God's life within us operates in the way of a law.
E  There is a new law within us—the law of the life of God.
F  Believers should trust not only in life but also in the law of life.
Ⅳ  A Christian should discover the law of God's life and live by this law of life; this is the Christian life:
A  The God who has been processed and is now the Spirit dwelling in our spirit is the law of the Spirit of life.
B  The life a Christian receives is a law, and the Christian life is a spontaneous living according to the law of life.
C  Being a Christian is not a strenuous exercise; all we have to do is let go and allow the law of the inner life to operate within us.
D  Our faith consists of God's life operating within us through a law; this oper-ation results in our being able to live out the Christian life.
E  We need to learn to trust in the law of God's life, allowing this law to operate in us in a spontaneous way.
F  God delivers us from the law of sin and of death through the operation of the law of the Spirit of life.
Ⅴ  A Christian should not live according to the power of his will but accord-ing to the law of the Spirit of life:
A  There is a law of sin and of death within us that the power of the will has no control over and which can never be overcome.
B  No one can resist the law of sin by his will, nor can anyone resist the law of sin by willing to do good.
C  To live by the will is to try to be a certain type of person when we are not.
D  A law is spontaneous; there is no need for the will to assist it.
E  In the Christian life an important principle is to live not by one's own will but by the law of the Spirit of life.
F  Walking according to the law of life is spontaneous; all we need to do is calmly trust in the law of life within us.
G  The law of life within spontaneously regulates and carries us on; as we go along with this law, we experience life and peace.
Ⅵ  There is another law that can contend with the law of sin and of death:
A  God has given us a life-law; it remains the same all the time, and it never changes.
B  The law of sin and of death still exists, but we are no longer living under its power; we are living under another law.
C  There is a law in us that delivers us from the law of sin and of death.
D  The way of salvation is not to be someone we are not; rather, it is living out a new law of life from within.
E  When this law is lived out from within, sin will appear to be nonexistent and annihilated, and the power of death will seemingly disappear.
F  We need to learn to follow the law of life within us.
G  The law of the Spirit of life, like the law of sin and of death, is spontaneous.
H  The moment we see the law of life, the first thing we will do is to drop our work.
I  Is our Christian life governed by our will or by the manifestation of this new law within us?
J  Are we living our Christian life, or is there a spontaneous law, a spontaneous power of life in us, that directs us to live the Christian life in a spontaneous way?
