我们若在祂死的形状上与他联合,也要在祂复活的形状上与祂联合。(罗6:5)

一同复活。要证明我的确已与耶稣同钉十字架,就是我明显有像祂的地方。耶稣的灵进入我里面,重整了我向神的生命。


耶稣的复活,使祂有权柄把神的生命充满我;而我这生命,是必须建造在祂生命的根基上。我现在有耶稣复活的生命,在圣洁上可表明出来。


在使徒保罗的书信中,有个一贯的思想,就是决志——作这道德上的抉择,承认与耶稣同死后,耶稣复活的生命就充满我每一部分。人在肉身活出神儿子的生命,必须有超人的能力才行。


圣灵绝不处于客人的地位,祂是无孔不入的。我一旦决志让旧人(罪的遗传)与耶稣同死,圣灵就开始进袭我。祂要管理一切,要我行在光中,要使我顺服。我既对罪作了道德的判决,就很容易向罪死,因为耶稣的生命已经住在我里面。


人性若只有一个印记,圣洁同样也只有一个,就是耶稣的圣洁,而这圣洁正是祂赐给我的。神把祂儿子的圣洁放在我里面,我就属于一个新的属灵族类。

祈祷


噢,主啊,在这新的一天,以祢的恩典帮助我完全感受到祢的大能,并祢在我周围。让我面对着祢的荣耀,以致我可以“变成主的形状,荣上加荣”。

Complete and Effective Divinity


If we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection… —Romans 6:5


Co-Resurrection. The proof that I have experienced crucifixion with Jesus is that I have a definite likeness to Him. The Spirit of Jesus entering me rearranges my personal life before God. The resurrection of Jesus has given Him the authority to give the life of God to me, and the experiences of my life must now be built on the foundation of His life. I can have the resurrection life of Jesus here and now, and it will exhibit itself through holiness.


The idea all through the apostle Paul’s writings is that after the decision to be identified with Jesus in His death has been made, the resurrection life of Jesus penetrates every bit of my human nature. It takes the omnipotence of God— His complete and effective divinity— to live the life of the Son of God in human flesh. The Holy Spirit cannot be accepted as a guest in merely one room of the house— He invades all of it. And once I decide that my “old man” (that is, my heredity of sin) should be identified with the death of Jesus, the Holy Spirit invades me. He takes charge of everything. My part is to walk in the light and to obey all that He reveals to me. Once I have made that important decision about sin, it is easy to “reckon” that I am actually “dead indeed to sin,” because I find the life of Jesus in me all the time (Romans 6:11). Just as there is only one kind of humanity, there is only one kind of holiness— the holiness of Jesus. And it is His holiness that has been given to me. God puts the holiness of His Son into me, and I belong to a new spiritual order.
