In order to represent God in His economy,we need to be fully reconciled to God—2 Cor.5:20:

The ministry of reconciliation is to bring us back to God fully,thoroughly,completely,and entirely—v.18:

１
和好的职事不仅将罪人带回归神，更将信徒绝对地带进神里面─19~20节。
The ministry of reconciliation is not merely to bring sinners back to God but,even the more,to bring believers absolutely into God—vv.19-20.

Until we are wholly one with the Lord,being in Him and allowing Him to be in us absolutely,we will need the ministry of reconciliation.
Until we are wholly one with the Lord,being in Him and allowing Him to be in us absolutely,we will need the ministry of reconciliation.

我们与神完全的和好有两步─19~20节：
Two steps are required for us to be fully reconciled to God—vv.19-20:
Two steps are required for us to be fully reconciled to God—vv.19-20:
１
林后五章十九节是叫世人与神和好，二十节是叫已经与神和好的信徒，进一步与神和好。
In 2 Corinthians 5:19 it is the world that is reconciled to God,but in verse 20 it is the believers,who have already been reconciled to God and are to be reconciled further to God.
In 2 Corinthians 5:19 it is the world that is reconciled to God,but in verse 20 it is the believers,who have already been reconciled to God and are to be reconciled further to God.
２
和好的第一步是罪人脱离罪与神和好─19节：
The first step of reconciliation is to reconcile sinners to God from sin—v.19:
The first step of reconciliation is to reconcile sinners to God from sin—v.19:
ａ
为这目的，基督为我们的罪死了，使我们的罪蒙神赦免─林前十五3，路二四46~47，约壹二12。
For this purpose Christ died for our sins that they might be forgiven by God—1 Cor.15:3; Luke 24:46-47; 1 John 2:12.
For this purpose Christ died for our sins that they might be forgiven by God—1 Cor.15:3; Luke 24:46-47; 1 John 2:12.
ｂ
这是基督的死客观的一面；在这一面，祂在十字架上担当我们的罪，替我们受了神的审判─彼前二24，赛五三11~12，来九28，西一22，罗八3。
This is the objective aspect of Christ's death; in this aspect He bore our sins upon Himself on the cross that they might be judged by God for us—1 Pet.2:24; Isa.53:11-12; Heb.9:28; Col.1:22; Rom.8:3.
This is the objective aspect of Christ's death; in this aspect He bore our sins upon Himself on the cross that they might be judged by God for us—1 Pet.2:24; Isa.53:11-12; Heb.9:28; Col.1:22; Rom.8:3.
３
和好的第二步是活在天然生命中的信徒脱离肉体与神和好─林后五20：
The second step of reconciliation is to reconcile believers living in the natural life to God from the flesh—2 Cor.5:20:
The second step of reconciliation is to reconcile believers living in the natural life to God from the flesh—2 Cor.5:20:
ａ
为这目的，基督替我们这个“人”死了，使我们能在复活的生命里向祂活着─14~15节。
For this purpose Christ died for us—the persons—that we might live to Him in the resurrection life—vv.14-15.
For this purpose Christ died for us—the persons—that we might live to Him in the resurrection life—vv.14-15.
ｂ
因着我们仍然与神隔开，我们并非完全与神是一，全然与祂和谐，所以需要和好的第二步。
Because we are still separated from God and because we are not fully one with God and altogether in harmony with Him,we need the second step of reconciliation.
Because we are still separated from God and because we are not fully one with God and altogether in harmony with Him,we need the second step of reconciliation.
ｃ
基督主观的死需要应用到我们的情况里，应用到我们天然的生命上─罗六6，八13，加五24，太十六24：
The subjective aspect of the death of Christ needs to be applied to our situation and to our natural life—Rom.6:6; 8:13; Gal.5:24; Matt.16:24:
The subjective aspect of the death of Christ needs to be applied to our situation and to our natural life—Rom.6:6; 8:13; Gal.5:24; Matt.16:24:
㈠
为了使我们完全与神和好，父暴露我们天然的生命，并向我们揭示我们真实的情况─约壹一5、7：
In order that we may be reconciled to God in full,the Father exposes our natural life and unveils our real situation to us—1 John 1:5,7:
In order that we may be reconciled to God in full,the Father exposes our natural life and unveils our real situation to us—1 John 1:5,7:
⑴
结果，我们就定罪自己天然的所是，并且主观地应用十字架，这种应用基督的死，就钉死我们天然的生命。
As a result,we condemn our natural being and apply the cross subjectively,and this application of the death of Christ crucifies our natural life.
As a result,we condemn our natural being and apply the cross subjectively,and this application of the death of Christ crucifies our natural life.
⑵
当我们天然的人被除去时，我们就经历和好的第二步；在这一步，我们天然人的幔子裂开了，使我们能活在神的同在中。
As our natural man is crossed out,we experience the second step of reconciliation; in this step the veil of our natural man is rent so that we may live in God's presence.
As our natural man is crossed out,we experience the second step of reconciliation; in this step the veil of our natural man is rent so that we may live in God's presence.
㈡
和好的第二步不是一次永远的，乃是继续不断的。
Instead of taking place once for all,the second step of reconciliation is continuous.
Instead of taking place once for all,the second step of reconciliation is continuous.
４
借着祂死的这两面，基督就使神所拣选的人完全与神和好了─罗五10，林后五19~20。
By the two aspects of His death,Christ fully reconciles God's chosen people to God—Rom.5:10; 2 Cor.5:19-20.

Being fully reconciled to God causes us to be enlarged in our heart—v.20; 6:11-13:

一
我们的心有多宽宏，在于我们与神和好的程度。
How large our heart is depends on the degree of our reconciliation to God.
How large our heart is depends on the degree of our reconciliation to God.
二
心狭窄是很强的标示，我们只是部分与神和好，我们得拯救的百分比还很低─12节，罗五10。
Narrowness of heart is a strong indication that we have been reconciled to God only partially and that the percentage of our salvation is quite low—v.12; Rom.5:10.
Narrowness of heart is a strong indication that we have been reconciled to God only partially and that the percentage of our salvation is quite low—v.12; Rom.5:10.
三
我们应当严以待己，而不是对人；为此，我们需要宽宏；那些非常梗直的人，通常也是狭窄的；他们需要心宽宏─林后六12~13。
In order to be strict with ourselves and not with others,we need to be enlarged; those who are constricted are usually narrow as well,and thus they need to have their heart enlarged—2 Cor.6:12-13.
In order to be strict with ourselves and not with others,we need to be enlarged; those who are constricted are usually narrow as well,and thus they need to have their heart enlarged—2 Cor.6:12-13.
四
智慧和广大的心是一件事的两面；智慧的秘诀乃是在于心地宽大─王上四20、29。
Wisdom and largeness of heart are two aspects of one thing; the secret of wisdom is to have a large heart—1 Kings 4:20,29.
Wisdom and largeness of heart are two aspects of one thing; the secret of wisdom is to have a large heart—1 Kings 4:20,29.
叁
当我们完全与神和好并且心宽宏时，就能在神的经纶里正确地代表祂─林后五20，十8，十二15，十三4、10：

摩西击打磐石两下，又称百姓是背叛的人，就是没有在以色列人眼前尊神为圣─10~12节：

In striking the rock twice and in calling the people rebels,Moses did not sanctify God in the sight of the people of Israel—vv.10-12:
