我们要活新造并作神的以色列而活，就需要这样遵守神新约经纶所有的基本原则而行─提前一4，弗三9。
To live a new creation and live as the Israel of God, we need to walk in such a way as to observe all the basic principles of God's New Testament economy—1 Tim. 1:4; Eph. 3:9.

ａ
我们的定命不只是作神的儿子，也是作神国里掌权的君王；保罗论到神的以色列的话，含示我们需要过君尊的生活，有君尊的行事为人─罗五17，21。
Our destiny is not only to be sons of God; it is to be kings reigning in the kingdom of God; Paul's word about the Israel of God implies that we need to live in a kingly way with a kingly walk—Rom. 5:17, 21.

ｂ
我们要作神正确的儿子，有那灵的果子就够了，但要作王─神的以色列─就需要另一种的生活，一种特别的凭着灵而行；我们需要过神儿子的生活，以及神的以色列的生活─加五16，25。

４
我们若有第二种凭着灵而行，就是照着神永远的定旨按规律而行，我们就是神的以色列，代表神，行使祂的权柄，并在地上执行祂的行政，以完成祂的定旨─创一26。
If we have the second kind of walk by the Spirit, an orderly walk according to God's eternal purpose, we shall be the Israel of God, representing God, exercising His authority, and carrying out His administration on earth for the fulfillment of His purpose—Gen. 1:26.

我们的神是三个特别之人─亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各的神，这含示祂是三一神─林后十三14：

God's people became His people through the experience of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

２
把亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各在神面前所受的对付、所有的经历传下去，然后神才得着子民。
The dealings which Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob received before God and the experiences they went through culminated in a people of God.
The dealings which Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob received before God and the experiences they went through culminated in a people of God.
３
我们都需要有亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各的成分；没有这些成分的，就不是神的子民，不是神的以色列。

We all need to have the elements of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; without these elements we cannot be the people of God, the Israel of God.

在创世记这卷书中，亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各的记载是重叠的；创世记描绘他们，不是当作三个分开的个人，乃是当作一个团体人的分子：
