CHRIST AND THE BELIEVER ｜ 基督与信徒

ENThe sublimest conceptions presented to human thought respect: 1. The Being, Character, and Moral Working of the Self-existent, Self-sufficient God; 2. The immortal nature and destiny of created Man; and 3. The Relation of God and Man, in this world and the world to come. In the Bible, our only source of knowledge of these high themes, enough is revealed, in the simple form of fact, for all our spiritual needs. Especially, patent upon all its pages, lies the supreme fact of a gracious Redemption for enslaved and sinful man, provided and proffered through the voluntary self-sacrifice of an Incarnate God.

中呈于人类思想面前最崇高的观念，关乎三件事：一、自有永有、自足无缺之神的存在、品格与道德作为；二、受造之人不朽的本性与归宿；三、神与人在今世和来世的关系。圣经是我们认识这些崇高主题的惟一源头；其中以朴素的事实形态所启示的，已足敷我们一切属灵的需要。尤其昭然于全书每一页之上的，是那至高的事实：为被奴役的罪人预备并奉上的恩典救赎——借着一位道成肉身之神甘愿的舍己。

ENAnd equally patent and radiant throughout these pages we read the glad fact that, with every penitent and believing soul who humbly and obediently accepts the proffered grace of Christ, there is established by the Divine Love a new, abiding and transforming relation with God in Christ. The fruit of this relation appears in the soul's increasing likeness in character, its growing oneness with Christ in thought, desire, sympathy, aim, and affection. This relation of close dependence and fellowship is indeed vital to us, since it takes hold upon every fibre of our spiritual being, directs and governs our present life, moulds and matures our character for an ultimate perfected likeness to, and an open fellowship with, God. Isa. 57:15. I dwell with him that is of a contrite and humble spirit. VIII. 323, 324. 2 Pet. 1:4. Partakers of the Divine nature. XI. 671.

BSBIsaiah 57:15 For thus says the One who is high and lifted up, who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: “I dwell in a high and holy place, and with the oppressed and humble in spirit, to restore the spirit of the lowly and revive the heart of the contrite.

中同样昭然发光于这些书页之间的，是那令人欢喜的事实：凡谦卑顺服地接受基督所奉恩典的痛悔相信的灵魂，神圣之爱都在其身上建立起一种在基督里与神崭新、恒久且更新人的关系。这关系的果实显于灵魂品格上日增的肖似，显于其在思想、愿望、同情、目标与爱慕上与基督日深的合一。这种紧密倚赖与相交的关系对我们确是性命攸关：它抓住我们属灵存在的每一根纤维，指引管治我们今下的生活，模塑成熟我们的品格，以致最终完全像神、与神坦然相交。以赛亚书 57:15 —— 我住在至高至圣的所在，也与心灵痛悔谦卑的人同居。彼得后书 1:4 —— 就得与神的性情有份。

ENThe Relation of Christ to the Believer is disclosed in His entire Office-Work as Redeemer. See GOD (Office Work of the Son in Redemption). The corresponding Relation of the Believer to Christ is equally shown in the responsive feeling and action demanded of the believer—the required response of faith, repentance, surrender, obedience, love, and consecration; and this is confirmed by the actual effects wrought within the true believer's soul as the result of this penitent trust and self-devotion. For full textual treatment, see CHRISTIAN LIFE (Christian Experience).

中基督对信徒的关系，显明于他作救赎主的全部职分工作（参主题词条：神——子在救赎中的职分工作）。信徒对基督相应的关系，则同样显明于向信徒所要求的回应性情感与行动——即所要求的信心、悔改、降服、顺从、爱与奉献的回应；而这又被真信徒灵魂里因这痛悔的信靠与献身实际产生的果效所印证。详尽经文见主题词条：基督徒生活（基督徒经历）。

EN1. Building and Living Stones; Temple of God. 1 Pet. 2:4, 5. Unto Whom coming, a Living Stone, ye also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house. XI. 653. Eph. 2:20-22. Built upon the foundation, … Jesus Christ Himself being the chief corner-stone; in Whom ye are builded together for a habitation of God. 1 Cor. 3:9. Ye are God's building. 1 Cor. 3:16. Ye are the temple of God.

BSB1 Peter 2:5 you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

中1. 建筑与活石；神的殿。彼得前书 2:4-5 —— 主乃活石……你们来到主面前，也就像活石，被建造成为灵宫。以弗所书 2:20-22 —— 被建造在使徒和先知的根基上，有基督耶稣自己为房角石……你们也靠他同被建造，成为神藉着圣灵居住的所在。哥林多前书 3:9 —— 你们是神所建造的房屋。3:16 —— 岂不知你们是神的殿吗？【OCR 注：原书 "Eph. 3:20-22" 依引文推定为 2:20-22。】

EN2. Head and Members, of Body or Church. 1 Cor. 12:12, 27. Ye are the body of Christ, and severally members thereof. XI. 322. Rom. 12:5. We are one body in Christ, and severally members one of another. Col. 1:18. Head of the body, the church. Col. 2:19. The Head, from Whom all the body, being supplied and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.

BSB1 Corinthians 12:27 Now you are the body of Christ, and each of you is a member of it.

中2. 头与肢体（身体即教会）。哥林多前书 12:12, 27 —— 你们就是基督的身子，并且各自作肢体。罗马书 12:5 —— 我们这许多人，在基督里成为一身，互相联络作肢体。歌罗西书 1:18 —— 他也是教会全体之首。2:19 —— 全身既然靠着他，筋节得以相助联络，就因神大得长进。

EN3. The Marriage Relation. Isa. 62:5. As the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee. VIII. 360. Eph. 5:22-33. 2 Cor. 11:2. Rev. 21:2, 9. As a bride adorned for her husband. The bride, the Lamb's wife. 1 Cor. 6:17. He that is joined to the Lord is one spirit.

BSBIsaiah 62:5 For as a young man marries a young woman, so your sons will marry you; and as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so your God will rejoice over you.

中3. 婚姻的关系。以赛亚书 62:5 —— 新郎怎样喜悦新妇，你的神也要照样喜悦你。以弗所书 5:22-33（丈夫与妻子的关系正如基督与教会）。哥林多后书 11:2 —— 我曾把你们许配一个丈夫，要把你们如同贞洁的童女献给基督。启示录 21:2, 9 —— 就如新妇妆饰整齐，等候丈夫；新妇，就是羔羊的妻。哥林多前书 6:17 —— 但与主联合的，便是与主成为一灵。

EN4. Shepherd and Flock. Ps. 23:1-4. The Lord is my Shepherd. Isa. 40:11. He shall feed His flock like a shepherd. Ezek. 34:12-16, 23. Behold, I Myself, even I, will search for My sheep, and will seek them out. Luke 12:32. Fear not, little flock. John 10:14-16. I am the good Shepherd, and I know Mine own, and Mine own know Me. Heb. 13:20. Our Lord Jesus, the great Shepherd of the sheep. 1 Pet. 2:25. Ye are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

BSB1 Peter 2:25 For “you were like sheep going astray,” but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

中4. 牧人与羊群。诗篇 23:1-4 —— 耶和华是我的牧者。以赛亚书 40:11 —— 他必像牧人牧养自己的羊群。以西结书 34:12-16, 23 —— 主耶和华说：看哪，我必亲自寻找我的羊，将他们寻见。路加福音 12:32 —— 你们这小群，不要惧怕。约翰福音 10:14-16 —— 我是好牧人，我认识我的羊，我的羊也认识我。希伯来书 13:20 —— 群羊的大牧人我主耶稣。彼得前书 2:25 —— 你们从前好像迷路的羊，如今既已归到你们灵魂的牧人监督了。

ENThese Figures find their fullest emphasis, and our precious theme its deepest interpretation, in Our Lord's Marvelous Words in His Last Discourse—the Figure of the Vine and its Branches. John 15:1-11. Abide in Me, and I in you. I am the Vine, ye are the branches. He that abideth in Me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit; for apart (severed) from Me ye can do nothing. If ye abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatsoever ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Even as the Father hath loved Me, I also have loved you; abide ye in My love. If ye keep My commandments, ye shall abide in My love. These things have I spoken unto you, that My joy may be in you. X. 489-491. John 14:20, 23. Ye shall know that I am in My Father, and ye in Me, and I in you. My Father will love him, and We will come unto him, and make Our abode with him.

BSBJohn 15:4, 5 4 Remain in Me, and I will remain in you. Just as no branch can bear fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in Me. 5 I am the vine and you are the branches. The one who remains in Me, and I in him, will bear much fruit. For apart from Me you can do nothing.

中以上诸比方最充分的强调、我们这宝贵主题最深刻的解释，见于我们的主在临别讲论中的奇妙话语——葡萄树与枝子的比方。约翰福音 15:1-11 —— 你们要常在我里面，我也常在你们里面。我是葡萄树，你们是枝子。常在我里面的，我也常在他里面，这人就多结果子；因为离了我，你们就不能做什么。你们若常在我里面，我的话也常在你们里面，凡你们所愿意的，祈求，就给你们成就。我爱你们，正如父爱我一样，你们要常在我的爱里。你们若遵守我的命令，就常在我的爱里。这些事我已经对你们说了，是要叫我的喜乐存在你们心里。14:20, 23 —— 到那日，你们就知道我在父里面，你们在我里面，我也在你们里面。……我父也必爱他，并且我们要到他那里去，与他同住。

ENThese are wonder-words, fraught with a depth, breadth, and intensity of meaning that may well surcharge the heart of every thoughtful, responsive believer with immeasurable thankfulness and joy. Clearly and unqualifiedly Christ declares that He comes into the believer's life and takes the believer into His life, and this abidingly, both here and in the eternal hereafter. He affirms that He will establish between Himself and the believer an indissoluble union or oneness of spiritual life. This union consists, not in an organic blending of the two natures, Divine and human, but in such an identity and mutual responsiveness of thought, desire, affection and aim, touching God and godlike living, as constitute a real oneness of the Divine and human spirit. This is the cardinal fact, the blessed truth, that underlies and vitalizes all other facts and truths of the believer's spiritual experience.

中这些是充满奇妙的话语，其意义之深、之广、之烈，足以使每一个肯思想、肯回应的信徒心中涨满无可计量的感恩与喜乐。基督清楚而毫无保留地宣告：他进入信徒的生命，也把信徒接入他的生命——并且是恒久如此，今世与永世皆然。他断言要在自己与信徒之间建立一种不可解除的联合，即属灵生命的合一。这联合不在于神人二性有机地混融，而在于在关乎神、关乎像神而活的事上，思想、愿望、爱慕与目标如此地同一、如此地彼此呼应，以致构成神的灵与人的灵真实的合一。这就是那根本的事实、蒙福的真理——信徒属灵经历的其他一切事实与真理，都以它为底基、因它而有生气。

ENChrist in You. John 6:56. I in him. John 17:23, 26. I in them. 2 Cor. 13:5. Jesus Christ is in you. Gal. 1:16. To reveal His Son in me. Gal. 4:19. Until Christ be formed in you. Gal. 2:20. Christ liveth in me. Eph. 3:17. That Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. Col. 1:27. Christ in you, the hope of glory. 1 John 3:24. We know that He abideth in us, by the Spirit which He gave us.

BSBColossians 1:27 To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

中基督在你们里面。约翰福音 6:56 —— 我也常在他里面。17:23, 26 —— 我在他们里面。哥林多后书 13:5 —— 岂不知你们若不是可弃绝的，就有耶稣基督在你们心里吗？加拉太书 1:16 —— 既然乐意将他儿子启示在我心里。4:19 —— 直等到基督成形在你们心里。2:20 —— 乃是基督在我里面活着。以弗所书 3:17 —— 使基督因你们的信，住在你们心里。歌罗西书 1:27 —— 基督在你们心里成了有荣耀的盼望。约翰一书 3:24 —— 我们所以知道神住在我们里面，是因他所赐给我们的圣灵。【OCR 注：原书 "Gal. 1:27" 依引文推定为 1:16。】

ENIn Christ. Rom. 8:1. No condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus. 1 Cor. 15:22. In Christ shall all be made alive. 1 Cor. 1:30. Of Him are ye in Christ Jesus. 2 Cor. 1:21. Stablisheth us in Christ. 2 Cor. 2:14. Leadeth us in triumph in Christ. 2 Cor. 5:17. If any man is in Christ, he is a new creature. Gal. 3:26, 28. Ye are all sons of God, in Christ Jesus. Eph. 2:10. Created in Christ Jesus. Phil. 3:9. Be found in Him. Col. 2:6, 10. Walk in Him, rooted and builded up in Him; ye are complete in Him. 1 Thes. 4:14. Them that sleep in Jesus. 1 John 2:28. Abide in Him. — Note that many of these texts refer to the fruit of abiding: "Saved, sanctified, rooted, builded up, made perfect; live, walk, work, suffer, sorrow and rejoice, conquer, triumph, sleep, and die—in Christ."

BSB2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away. Behold, the new has come!

中在基督里。罗马书 8:1 —— 如今，那些在基督耶稣里的就不定罪了。哥林多前书 15:22 —— 在基督里众人也都要复活。1:30 —— 但你们得在基督耶稣里是本乎神。哥林多后书 1:21 —— 那在基督里坚固我们和你们……的就是神。2:14 —— 感谢神！常率领我们在基督里夸胜。5:17 —— 若有人在基督里，他就是新造的人。加拉太书 3:26, 28 —— 你们因信基督耶稣，都是神的儿子……你们在基督耶稣里都成为一了。以弗所书 2:10 —— 我们原是他的工作，在基督耶稣里造成的。腓立比书 3:9 —— 并且得以在他里面。歌罗西书 2:6, 10 —— 就当遵他而行，在他里面生根建造……你们在他里面也得了丰盛。帖撒罗尼迦前书 4:14 —— 那已经在耶稣里睡了的人。约翰一书 2:28 —— 小子们哪，你们要住在主里面。——请注意：以上许多经文说的是住在基督里的果效：『得救、成圣、生根、建造、得以完全；生活、行走、作工、受苦、忧伤与喜乐、得胜、夸胜、安睡、离世——都在基督里。』

ENAbiding in Him is imposed upon us as a commanded duty. Yet, as Andrew Murray writes: "It is not a work that we have to do, but a consenting to let Him do all for us, in us, and through us. It is a work that He does, under the mighty impulse of His redeeming love. Our part is simply to yield, to trust, and to wait for what He has engaged to perform." Of the Master's figure he says: "All the vine possesses belongs to the branches. All Christ's fullness is for the believer. And all that the branch possesses belongs to the vine. The branch exists to bear fruit in honor of the vine from which it derives its life. So every power of the believer, every thought and feeling, belong to Jesus, that from Him and for Him he may bring forth fruit to the glory of His name."

中『常在他里面』是加给我们的一道命令、一项本分。然而正如慕安得烈（Andrew Murray）所写：『这不是一件要我们去做的工，而是一种应允——让他为我们、在我们里面、借着我们成就一切。这是他在其救赎之爱的大能推动下所做的工；我们的本分只是降服、信靠，并等候他所承诺要成就的。』论到夫子的比方，他说：『葡萄树所有的一切都属于枝子——基督一切的丰盛都是为着信徒的；而枝子所有的一切也都属于葡萄树——枝子存在，就是为着荣耀那赐它生命的树而结果子。照样，信徒的每一分力量、每一个意念与情感都属于耶稣，好叫他从他、也为他结出果子，使他的名得荣耀。』

ENWith Christ: Crucified, Dead. Rom. 6:4, 6, 8. Our old man was crucified with Him. Dead with Christ. Buried with Him. Gal. 2:20. I have been crucified with Christ. Col. 2:20. 2 Tim. 2:11. If we died with Him, we shall also live with Him. [There could be no new spiritual life for us without the crucifixion of our old humanity—first representatively in Christ, and then afterward really in each one of ourselves. You cannot bring all your fleshly inclinations into subjection to the law of God; you cannot renounce your worldly pride and ambition, and be content to live humbly for the kingdom of heaven's sake—you cannot do this without pain, without the cross. It is enough if we are willing simply to take the crosses God Himself lays on us, in the self-denials and the pains which it costs us just to do and bear His will. In this sense we may enter spiritually "into the fellowship of Christ's sufferings"; we may be crucified with Him. — Bp. Boyd Carpenter.]

BSBRomans 6:6 We know that our old self was crucified with Him so that the body of sin might be rendered powerless, that we should no longer be slaves to sin.

中与基督同钉、同死。罗马书 6:4, 6, 8 —— 我们的旧人和他同钉十字架；与基督同死；和他一同埋葬。加拉太书 2:20 —— 我已经与基督同钉十字架。歌罗西书 2:20；提摩太后书 2:11 —— 我们若与基督同死，也必与他同活。【摘录】若不把我们的旧人钉死——先是代表性地在基督里，然后是真实地在我们每个人身上——就不可能有新的属灵生命。你无法叫一切属肉体的倾向都降服于神的律法，无法弃绝属世的骄傲野心、甘心为天国的缘故度卑微的生活——做这些不可能不痛，不可能没有十字架。只要我们甘愿领受神亲手放在我们身上的十字架——就在遵行并担当他旨意所要付上的舍己与苦痛之中——这就够了。在这个意义上，我们可以在灵里进入『和他一同受苦的团契』，可以与他同钉十字架。——博伊德·卡彭特主教（Bp. Boyd Carpenter）

EN[The greatest hindrance to the believer's entire surrender is the old self. Only as the natural man is crucified with Christ is the new self, the spiritual man, set free for a complete surrender to God, offered "a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God" (Rom. 12:1). And though the old self will continue to exert its hindering force as long as the believer lives, still, under the mastering might of "the Spirit of life in Christ," it can be so kept in its crucifixion place, and under its sentence of death, that it shall never again obtain dominion over him. Sadly true it is that, from unwatchfulness, and from weakness engendered by past habitual self-indulgence, the believer, under an occasional sore temptation, "overtaken in a trespass" (Gal. 6:1), is subjected to the temporary control of the old nature. But so soon as the new nature penitently retraces its steps, its power is re-established over the soul through the inworking of the restored Christ-life. In view of these vital facts the believer is called, not only to unsleeping trust and consecration, but to ceaseless vigilance, prayer, and resistant struggle at every point of exposure to old weaknesses and temptations. Above all should his supreme desire and petition be that Christ should fill the place, and exert the control, of the expelled self within his whole spiritual being—that "Christ may dwell in his heart by faith," and may be "formed within him, the hope of glory": that Christ may be his life. — B.] See Flesh and Spirit.

中【作者按语】信徒完全降服最大的拦阻是旧我。惟有属血气的人与基督同钉十字架，那新我——属灵的人——才得释放，可以完全降服于神，献上『当作活祭，是圣洁的，是神所喜悦的』（罗马书 12:1）。旧我固然要在信徒有生之年不断施加拦阻之力，然而在『赐生命圣灵』（罗 8:2）辖制之能底下，它可以被牢牢按在受钉之处、按在死刑判决之下，永不再辖制信徒。可悲的是，确有这样的事实：由于失了警醒、由于往日惯性的放纵所生的软弱，信徒会在偶发的猛烈试探之下『被过犯所胜』（加拉太书 6:1），一时落入旧性的辖制。但新性只要痛悔回转，其权能便借着复归之基督生命在里面的运行重新确立于灵魂之上。鉴于这些切身的事实，信徒蒙召不仅要有不眠的信靠与奉献，还要有不歇的警醒、祷告，并在每一个暴露于旧软弱旧试探的破口上作抵抗的争战。而至高无上的心愿与祈求应当是：让基督来填满被逐出的旧我之位、执掌其权，充满他整个属灵的存在——使『基督因信住在他心里』，并『成形在他里面，成了有荣耀的盼望』：使基督作他的生命。——巴特勒（B.）。另参主题词条：肉体与圣灵（Flesh and Spirit）。

ENQuickened together with Christ. Eph. 2:5. When we were dead through our trespasses, quickened us together with Christ. Col. 2:13. Suffer and Reign with Christ. 2 Tim. 2:12. If we suffer, we shall also reign with Him. 1 Pet. 4:13. Rejoice, as partakers of Christ's sufferings. Joint-Heirs with Christ. Rom. 8:17. Raised, and Made to Sit with Him in the Heavenly Places. Eph. 2:6. Col. 3:1. If ye were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above. With Him in Glory. John 14:3. Where I am, there ye may be also. John 17:24. Col. 3:4. Ye shall appear with Him in glory. 1 Thes. 5:10.

BSBEphesians 2:5, 6 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in our trespasses. It is by grace you have been saved! 6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,

中与基督一同活过来。以弗所书 2:5 —— 当我们死在过犯中的时候，便叫我们与基督一同活过来。歌罗西书 2:13。与基督同苦同王。提摩太后书 2:12 —— 我们若能忍耐（同受苦难），也必和他一同作王。彼得前书 4:13 —— 倒要欢喜，因为你们是与基督一同受苦。与基督同作后嗣（罗马书 8:17）。一同复活、一同坐在天上。以弗所书 2:6；歌罗西书 3:1 —— 所以，你们若真与基督一同复活，就当求在上面的事。与他同在荣耀里。约翰福音 14:3 —— 我在哪里，叫你们也在那里。17:24；歌罗西书 3:4 —— 他显现的时候，你们也要与他一同显现在荣耀里。帖撒罗尼迦前书 5:10。

ENLike Christ. Rom. 8:29. To be conformed to the image of His Son. 2 Cor. 3:18. We all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image, from glory to glory. Gal. 3:27. Put on Christ. 1 John 3:2. We shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. — Beholding the grace and beauty of Christ, attracted by Him who is "altogether lovely," we are won to love; and loving, we are constrained to imitate, and so become like Him. [Beholding is transfiguring. The vision works back from the organs of vision to the springs of life. By the Christ whom he looks at lovingly, the believer, little by little, comes to be Christ-like. New dispositions which are sweet taking the place of the old ones which were bitter; clearer trains of thought, less self-indulgent habits, less self-seeking plans, a less irritable temper, more magnanimity, more courage—these are the brightening brightness. Our attachments, admirations, sympathies are all the time fashioning and refashioning us, making us over from what we have been to what we are to be. Lifting your eyes to the One loftiest Leader and ceaseless Deliverer, your own life will cast abroad the brightness that "shineth more and more." There can be no standing still. From strength to mightier strength, from grace to richer grace, "from glory to glory"—is not this "practical"? — Bp. F. D. Huntington.]

BSB2 Corinthians 3:18 And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into His image with intensifying glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

中像基督。罗马书 8:29 —— 预先定下效法他儿子的模样。哥林多后书 3:18 —— 我们众人既然敞着脸得以看见主的荣光，好像从镜子里返照，就变成主的形状，荣上加荣。加拉太书 3:27 —— 披戴基督。约翰一书 3:2 —— 主若显现，我们必要像他，因为必得见他的真体。——瞻望基督的恩典与荣美，被那『全然可爱』者吸引，我们就被赢得而去爱；爱着爱着，便不能不效法，于是渐渐像他。【摘录】瞻望即变化。所见的异象从视觉的官能一路作用回生命的泉源。信徒借着所深情注视的基督，一点一点地变得像基督：甘甜的新性情取代苦涩的旧性情；思路更清明，习惯少放纵，图谋少为己，脾气少急躁，更宽宏，更勇敢——这些就是那渐亮的光辉。我们的依恋、钦慕与同情无时不在塑造又重塑我们，把我们从旧我改作将来的我。举目仰望那位至高的元帅、不歇的拯救者，你自己的生命就要投洒出那『越照越明』的光辉。绝无原地踏步之理：力上加力，恩上加恩，『荣上加荣』——这难道不『实际』吗？——F. D. 亨廷顿主教（Bp. F. D. Huntington）

ENChrist our Life. John 1:4. In Him was life. John 6:35. I am the bread of life. John 11:25. I am the resurrection and the life. John 14:6. I am the way, the truth, and the life. John 10:10. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly. Rom. 5:10. Saved by His life. Rom. 8:2. The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. Gal. 2:20. I have been crucified with Christ; yet I live; and yet no longer I, but Christ liveth in me: and that life which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, the faith which is in the Son of God, Who loved me, and gave Himself up for me. Col. 3:3, 4. For ye died, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, Who is our life, shall be manifested, then shall ye also with Him be manifested in glory. 1 John 5:12, 20. He that hath the Son hath the life. [To be at one with God in all things and at any pains, as He was; to think the thoughts of God, to love the things of God, to will the will of God, and work the works of God; to live wholly for and in His pleasure—this is life spiritual, divine, eternal, the true life for which we were made. And therefore, like all true life, it carries in itself its own joy, its own compensation of blessedness for all which it has cost us. That is the last glorious secret of the life of the cross. — Bp. Carpenter.]

BSBColossians 3:3, 4 3 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.

中基督是我们的生命。约翰福音 1:4 —— 生命在他里头。6:35 —— 我就是生命的粮。11:25 —— 复活在我，生命也在我。14:6 —— 我就是道路、真理、生命。10:10 —— 我来了，是要叫羊得生命，并且得的更丰盛。罗马书 5:10 —— 就更要因他的生命得救了。8:2 —— 赐生命圣灵的律。加拉太书 2:20 —— 我已经与基督同钉十字架，现在活着的不再是我，乃是基督在我里面活着；并且我如今在肉身活着，是因信神的儿子而活，他是爱我，为我舍己。歌罗西书 3:3-4 —— 因为你们已经死了，你们的生命与基督一同藏在神里面。基督是我们的生命，他显现的时候，你们也要与他一同显现在荣耀里。约翰一书 5:12 —— 人有了神的儿子就有生命。【摘录】在凡事上、不惜任何代价地与神合一，像他那样；思想神的意念，爱神所爱，立神所立的旨意，作神的工；全然为着他的喜悦、活在他的喜悦之中——这就是属灵的、神圣的、永远的生命，是我们受造本为要活出的真生命。所以，如同一切真生命一样，它自身带着自己的喜乐，带着足以补偿它使我们所付一切代价的福乐。这就是十字架生命最后的荣耀奥秘。——卡彭特主教（Bp.
