借着神律法(神活的话)之功用,活基督以彰显神
Message Thirty Living Christ for the Expression of God through the Function of the Law of God as the Living Word of God
 

  
读经:诗篇一一九篇
Scripture Reading: Psa. 119
壹 
神的心意乃是要使祂自己借着人得着彰显─创一26:
God's intention is to have an expression of Himself through man—Gen. 1:26:
一 
神的见证就是神的彰显。
The testimony of God is the expression of God.
二 
神的心意乃是要将祂自己作到人里面,使祂借着人得着彰显,因而得着一个见证。
God's intention is to work Himself into man that He may be expressed through man and thereby have a testimony.
贰 
律法称为见证,(出二五16,)因为律法见证神;律法见证神是怎样的一位神─祂是义和圣,祂也是爱和光─弗四24,约壹四8,一5:
The law was called the testimony (Exo. 25:16) because it testifies of God; it testifies what kind of God He is—that He is righteous and holy and that He is love and light—Eph. 4:24; 1 John 4:8; 1:5:
一 
律法,十诫,作为神的见证,乃是神的一幅图画─出二十1~17。
As the testimony of God, the law, the Ten Commandments, is a portrait of God—Exo. 20:1-17.
二 
律法作为神的见证,神的彰显,启示神是怎样的神─出三四28。
The law as the testimony of God, the expression of God, is the revelation of who God is—34:28.
三 
神认为十诫是十句话,(申四13,十4,)这个说法进一步指明,律法乃是神对于祂自己的启示,因为一个人所说的话,就把那个人启示出来。
God regards the Ten Commandments as ten words (Deut. 4:13; 10:4); this is a further indication that the law is a revelation of God Himself, since the words a person speaks are a revelation of that person.
四 
律法联于神的经纶,因为律法赐下是作为神的描绘、神的图画、和神的见证。
The law is linked to God's economy because the law was given as God's portrait, God's picture, and God's testimony.
叁 
律法作为神的见证,乃是基督的预表;基督就是神的像,是神的描绘、神的图画、神的见证─西一15,约一1,14,17~18,启一5,三14:
As God's testimony, the law is a type of Christ, who, being the image of God, is God's portrait, picture, and testimony—Col. 1:15; John 1:1, 14, 17-18; Rev. 1:5; 3:14:
一 
律法是基督的预表,预表基督是神的见证,是完全而正确的描述神并彰显神的那一位─约一18。
The law is a type of Christ as God's testimony, the One who describes God and expresses Him in a full and adequate way—John 1:18.
二 
正如律法是神的十句话,将神启示给祂的百姓,照样,基督也是神的话,将神启示给我们─约一1,14节。
As the law is the ten words of God which reveal God to His people, so Christ is the Word of God revealing God to us—vv. 1, 14.
三 
当基督来了,神的见证就成了一个活的人位─约一17节。
When Christ came, the testimony of God became a living person—v. 17.
四 
主耶稣所作的和所说的,都彰显神;因这缘故,祂被称为神忠信的见证人─约十四10,启一5,三14。
Whatever the Lord Jesus did and said expressed God; for this reason He is called the faithful Witness—14:10; Rev. 1:5; 3:14.
肆 
在预表上,遵守律法就是彰显神;因此,以色列人守律法就是活神并彰显神:
In typology, to keep the law is to express God; thus, for the children of Israel to keep the law was to live God and express God:
一 
遵守律法以彰显神,就是神人的生活─腓一21上。
Keeping the law to express God is the living of a God-man—Phil. 1:21a.
二 
过神人生活的人有神的形像;他们是神的描绘,甚至是神的复制─林后三18,罗八29。
Those who live the life of a God-man bear the image of God; they are the portrait of God and even the duplication of God—2 Cor. 3:18; Rom. 8:29.
三 
我们需要过神人的生活,就是否认己、被钉死而活基督,使神得彰显的生活─太十六24,加二20,腓一19~21上。
We need to live the life of a God-man—a life of denying ourselves and being crucified to live Christ for God's expression—Matt. 16:24; Gal. 2:20; Phil. 1:19-21a.
四 
我们不该想要凭自己努力遵守律法,乃要让基督从里面将祂自己活出来,使我们成为神的见证,就是神彰显的扩展并扩大─加二16,20,罗八4。
We should not try in ourselves to keep the law; instead, we should let Christ live Himself out from within us that we may become the testimony of God, the expansion and enlargement of God's expression—Gal. 2:16, 20; Rom. 8:4.
伍 
神的律法就是神活的话,其功用乃是将神的本质注入到爱祂的寻求者里面,把他们作成祂的见证,为着成就祂永远的经纶─诗一一九:
The law of God functions as the living word of God to infuse His substance into His loving seekers to make them His testimony for the fulfillment of His eternal economy—Psa. 119:
一 
律法是属灵的,在素质、性质和本质上,与是灵的神是一样的─罗七14,约四24。
The law is spiritual, the same in essence, nature, and substance as God, who is Spirit—Rom. 7:14; John 4:24.
二 
律法作为神的十句话,乃是祂的呼吸,将祂的成分传输到接受祂话的人里头─提后三16。
The law as God's ten words are His breath to convey His element into the ones who receive His words—2 Tim. 3:16.
三 
律法作为神活的话最高、最内在的功用,乃是将神的本质分赐到我们里面,使我们在生命、性情和彰显上,但不在神格上,成为神。
The highest and most intrinsic function of the law as God's living word is to impart God's substance into us to make us God in life, in nature, and in expression but not in the Godhead.
四 
神话语的功用,就是神自己的功用、运行─帖前二13,腓二13:
The function of the word of God is the function, the operation, of God Himself—1 Thes. 2:13; Phil. 2:13:
1 
借着神话语的功用,爱神的寻求者就得着光变为生命的祝福─诗十九8下,一一九130,105,25,50。
Through the function of the word of God, God's loving seekers receive the blessing of light becoming life—Psa. 19:8b; 119:130, 105, 25, 50.
2 
借着神话语的功用,爱神的寻求者就得着吸入神的祝福─提后三16。
Through the function of the word of God, God's loving seekers receive the blessing of inhaling God—2 Tim. 3:16.
3 
借着神话语的功用,爱神的寻求者就得着享受神作他们的分的祝福─诗一一九57上,七三26。
Through the function of the word of God, God's loving seekers receive the blessing of enjoying God as their portion—Psa. 119:57a; 73:26.
4 
借着神话语的功用,爱神的寻求者就得着享受神的面容和祂脸面照耀的祝福─一一九58上,135上,二四6,一〇五4,民六25~26,林后四6,三18。
Through the function of the word of God, God's loving seekers receive the blessing of enjoying God's countenance and the shining of His face—119:58a, 135a; 24:6; 105:4; Num. 6:25-26; 2 Cor. 4:6; 3:18.
陆 
神的律法预表基督作内里生命的律法─罗八2:
The law of God is a type of Christ as the inward law of life—Rom. 8:2:
一 
生命的律法在素质上乃是神在基督里作为那灵,生命的律法在功用上有使我们成为神的性能,将我们构成为基督身体的肢体,有各种样的功用─十二4~5,林前十二12~27。
In essence, the law of life is God in Christ as the Spirit, and in function, the law of life has the capacity to make us God and to constitute us the members of the Body of Christ with all kinds of functions—12:4-5; 1 Cor. 12:12-27.
二 
当生命的律法运行在我们里面,就将神圣的性情和属性注入到我们里面,将我们模成神的形像,使我们彰显祂并代表祂─创一26~27。
As the law of life operates within us, it infuses the divine nature and attributes into our being, conforming us to the image of God that we may express Him and represent Him—Gen. 1:26-27.
三 
生命的律法尽功用,将神的长子这原型的元素注入到我们里面,把我们作成祂的复制,使神得着团体的彰显,完成祂永远的定旨─罗八28~29。
The law of life functions to infuse into us the elements of the firstborn Son of God as the prototype, making us His reproduction that God might have a corporate expression to fulfill His eternal purpose—Rom. 8:28-29.
四 
当内里生命的律法将基督作到我们里面的每一部分,基督就成形在我们里面─来八10,加四19:
As the inward law of life works Christ into every part of our being, Christ is formed in us—Heb. 8:10; Gal. 4:19:
1 
至终,神要作到人里面,人要与神调和。
Eventually, God will be wrought into man, and man will be mingled with God.
2 
这样,神与人就成为一个实体;这是宇宙中最秘密的奥秘。
God and man will thus become one entity; this is the most secret mystery in the universe.
