4月12日 道德上的主权

死也不再作他的主了……他活是向 神活着。这样,你们向罪也当看自己是死的,向 神在基督耶稣里,却当看自己是活的。(罗六9-11)

同享永生,永生是耶稣基督以人的身份所表现的生命。若我们从神而生,在这必朽的肉身所彰显的生命,正是这种生命,而非它的副本。永生不是从神而来的恩赐,乃是神把自己赐给我们。耶稣所彰显出来的能力与权柄,在我们对罪作道德判时,因着神的恩典,在我们身上彰显出来。

“圣灵降临在你们身上,你们就必得着能力。”——这能力并不是从圣灵而来的恩赐,乃是圣灵本身。换言之,这并不是圣灵所赐的什么东西。我们一旦与他的死认同后,就藉着十字架得着耶稣的生命。若觉得与神和好是件难事,那就一定是我们对罪未肯作确定的判决。只要一作决定,神丰盛的生命就立即进来。耶稣来了,是要供应永恒的生命:“叫神一切所充满的,充满了你们。”

永生与时间原不相关,永生是耶稣在地上时的生命。生命唯一的源头就是主耶稣基督。只要肯“放手”,最软弱的信徒也能经历神儿子的能力。我们旧我的能力,若有任何残余存在,都会叫耶稣的生命受阻。我们要慢慢地放手,让神生命的洪流涌进我们每一部分,以致人就认出我们是耶稣的门徒。

祈祷◆主啊,我感到自己渴望你的同在,并得着你极之美好和满有喜乐的赐福。主啊,我将此心愿交给你,若你认为是好的话,请赐给我。

April 12 Moral Dominion

“Death hath no more dominion over Him . . . in that He liveth, He liveth unto God. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God.” Romans 6:9-11

Co-Eternal Life. Eternal life was the life which Jesus Christ exhibited on the human plane, and it is the same life, not a copy of it, which is manifested in our mortal flesh when we are born of God. Eternal life is not a gift from God, eternal life is the gift of God. The energy and the power which was manifested in Jesus will be manifested in us by the sheer sovereign grace of God when once we have made the moral decision about sin.

“Ye shall receive the power of the Holy Ghost” – not power as a gift from the Holy Ghost; the power is the Holy Ghost, not something which He imparts. The life that was in Jesus is made ours by means of His Cross when once we make the decision to be identified with Him. If it is difficult to get right with God, it is because we will not decide definitely about sin. Immediately we do decide, the full life of God comes in. Jesus came to give us endless supplies of life: “that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.” Eternal Life has nothing to do with Time, it is the life which Jesus lived when He was down here. The only source of Life is the Lord Jesus Christ.

The weakest saint can experience the power of the Deity of the Son of God if once he is willing to “let go.” Any strand of our own energy will blur the life of Jesus. We have to keep letting go, and slowly and surely the great full life of God will invade us in every part, and men will take knowledge of us that we have been with Jesus.
