晨興餧養
羅八37 ~ 39『然而藉着那愛我們的,在這一切的事上,我們已經得勝有餘了。因爲我深信,無論是死,是生,是天使,是掌權的,是現今的事,是要來的事,是有能的,是高,是深,或是別的受造之物,都不能叫我們與神的愛隔絕,這愛是在我們的主基督耶穌裏的。』
當我們在生命中作王時,我們就在羅馬六至十六章裏所陳明的一切事上有分。當我們在生命中作王時,我們就被神的聖別性情所浸透、充滿,使我們在性情上得以聖別,並且我們調和的靈要擴展到我們的心思裏,而更新我們的心思。當我們在生命中作王時,我們就能被模成神長子的形像,並在我們一生之中,藉着內住之靈的印塗而被榮化。…我們也得着神的義,就是主觀的基督,且享受神的豐富。…我們就能在這一切事上有分,並且能構成基督得勝的新婦,作祂的滿足、快樂和喜悅。(李常受文集一九九四至一九九七年第五册,五五六頁。)
信息選讀
我們在生命中作王,而在那靈裏被聖別;(羅六19,22,十五16;)…在心思裏爲調和的靈所更新;(十二2,弗四23;)…漸漸變化成爲基督的形像,從榮耀到榮耀,乃是從主靈變化成的;(羅十二2,林後三18;)…被模成爲神長子的形像;這是藉着那靈的代求,使萬有互相効力,叫愛神的人都被模成。(羅八26
~ 29。)…我們〔也〕…被榮化,(30,)好在我們的身體裏得贖,(23
下,)藉着內住之靈的印塗,(弗四30,)得以終極的有分於我們神聖的兒子名分。(羅八23 下。)
當我們在生命中作王,我們就在環境的艱難和苦難上得勝有餘;這是因着有神幫助我們,祂不吝惜自己的兒子,把萬有和祂一同白白的賜給我們,並且揀選我們,稱我們爲義;(31
~
33;)因着有基督已經爲我們死了,而且已經復活了,現今坐在神的右邊,爲我們代求;(34;)因着被基督那不能隔絕的愛,以及在基督裏神那不能隔絕的愛所奪取;(35
~ 39;)且因着向基督並向神忠信至死。(38。)
當我們領受洋溢之恩並洋溢之義的恩賜,在生命中作王時,我們就得着神的義,就是主觀的基督。(九18
~ 33,腓三9,林前一30。)我們得着這義,是本於信顯示與信,(羅一17
上,)並且是照着祂的憐憫,爲要在那些蒙憐憫的器皿上,彰顯祂榮耀的豐富。(九18 ~
23。)…我們〔也〕藉着呼求主的名、(十13、)相信主的話、(14、)並傳報喜信,(15,)而享受神的豐富。(12 ~ 15。)
我們在生命中作王,而活接枝的生命。(十一17 ~24,加二20
上。)…我們原是野橄欖樹的枝子,(羅十一17,24,)接枝在基督這栽種的橄欖樹上;基督與以色列乃是一。(24,詩八十15 ~
17,太二15。)我們因信站住,好有分於橄欖根(這根托着我們—羅十一18)的肥汁。(20,17。)不僅如此,我們這些接上的枝子,與基督這栽種的橄欖樹,一同活一個調和的生命,過一個調和的生活。
在生命中作王乃是對神生機救恩完滿的經歷。神完整的救恩是藉着我們接受恩典與義;這完整救恩的結果,是使我們在生命中作王,這是神完整救恩的目標。羅馬五章所說的在生命中作王,乃是打開該書其餘部分的鑰匙。我們需要在這光中來看六至十六章的一切事。這是以全新的方式解釋羅馬書。(李常受文集一九九四至一九九七年第五册,五五三至五五六頁。)

WEEK 8 — DAY 3
Morning Nourishment
Rom. 8:37-39 But in all these things we more than conquer through Him
who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life nor angels
nor principalities nor things present nor things to come nor powers nor
height nor depth nor any other creature will be able to separate us from
the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
When we are reigning in life, we are in all the matters presented in
Romans 6 through 16. When we are reigning in life, we are being soaked
and saturated with the holy nature of God for sanctification in our
disposition, and our mingled spirit spreads into our mind to renew our
mind. When we are reigning in life, we can be conformed to the image of
God’s firstborn Son and glorified through the sealing of the indwelling
Spirit throughout our entire life…We also gain the righteousness of God,
which is the subjective Christ, and we enjoy the riches of God…We can
be in all these things, and we can be constituted Christ’s overcoming
bride for His satisfaction, pleasure, and delight. (CWWL, 1994-1997,
vol. 5, “Crystallization-study of the Complete Salvation of God in
Romans,” p. 439)
Today's Reading
We reign in life in being sanctified in the Spirit (Rom. 6:19, 22; 15:16),…
in being renewed by the mingled spirit in our mind (12:2b; Eph. 4:23),…
in being transformed to the image of Christ from glory to glory by the
Lord Spirit (Rom. 12:2b; 2 Cor. 3:18)…We reign in life in being
conformed to the image of God’s firstborn Son through the Spirit’s
interceding that all things may work together for the conformation of
those who love God (Rom. 8:26- 29)…We reign in life in being glorified
(v. 30) to be redeemed in our body (v. 23c) to participate in our divine
sonship ultimately (v. 23b) through the sealing of the indwelling
Spirit (Eph. 4:30).
When we reign in life, we more than conquer the environmental hardships
and sufferings by having God being for us, who did not spare His own
Son, who gives us freely all things with Him, and who has chosen us and
justified us (Rom. 8:31-33); by having Christ who died for us, who was
raised, and who is sitting at the right hand of God interceding for us
(v. 34); by being captivated by the love of Christ and by the love of
God in Christ from which we are inseparable (vv. 35-39); and by being
faithful to Christ and God unto death (v. 38).
When we receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness
to reign in life, we gain the righteousness of God, which is the
subjective Christ (9:18-33; Phil. 3:9; 1 Cor. 1:30). This righteousness
is gained out of faith to faith (Rom. 1:17a) according to His mercy in
order to make known the riches of His glory upon vessels of mercy
(9:18-23). When we reign in life, we enjoy the riches of God (10:12-15)
by calling on the name of the Lord (v. 13), by believing in the Lord’s
word (v. 14), and by announcing the glad tidings (v. 15).
We reign in life in living a grafted life (11:17-24; Gal. 2:20a)…We are
branches of the wild olive tree (Rom. 11:17, 24) that were grafted into
Christ, the cultivated olive tree, who is one with Israel (v. 24; Psa.
80:15-17; Matt. 2:15). We stand by faith to partake of the root (which
bears us, Rom. 11:18) of fatness of the olive tree (vv. 20, 17).
Furthermore, we, as the grafted branches, and Christ, as the cultivated
olive tree, live together one mingled life in one mingled living.
Reigning in life is the full experience of the organic salvation of God. God’s
complete salvation is through our receiving grace and righteousness, and
this complete salvation issues in our reigning in life as the goal of
His complete salvation. Reigning in life in Romans 5 is the key to open
up the rest of the book. We need to see everything in Romans 6 through
16 in this light. This is altogether a new way to interpret the book of
Romans. (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 5, “Crystallization-study of the Complete
Salvation of God in Romans,” pp. 437-439)
