羅一3 ～ 4『論到祂的兒子，我們的主耶穌基督：按肉體說，是從大衞後裔生的，按聖別的靈說，是從死人的復活，以大能標出爲神的兒子。』

基督這神聖者，在成爲肉體以前，已經是神的兒子。（約一18，羅八3。）祂藉着成爲肉體，穿上與神性毫無關係的素質，就是人的肉體。祂這一部分，需要經過死而復活，得以聖別，並被拔高。藉着復活，祂的人性被聖別、拔高且變化了。因此，祂藉着復活，帶着祂的人性，被標出爲神的兒子。（徒十三33，來一5。）（李常受文集一九九四至一九九七年第五册，三○○頁。）

信息選讀

羅馬一章三至四節給我們看見耶穌是原型，八章二十九至三十節有眾子作大量產品。…就原型而言，有聖別的靈、肉體、以及標出爲神的兒子。…我們裏面也有聖別的靈，外面也有屬人的肉體，我們也要完全標出爲神的眾子。

我們生來是人的兒子，但我們已重生爲神的兒子。…我們是神的兒子，因爲神兒子的靈進入了我們的心。（加四6。）…所以，就一面說，我們每個人都與耶穌一樣。耶穌是在肉體裏的人，有神的兒子在祂裏面。我們也是肉體的人，有神的兒子在我們裏面。…阿利路亞！〔我們這些〕有神兒子在…裏面的肉體之人正在聖別、變化、和得榮的過程中。時候將到，我們都要宣告：『我們從復活標出爲神的眾子！』

按肉體說，甚至主耶穌也需要標出爲神的兒子。祂在還未標出之前，按肉體說，只是大衞的後裔；在祂所是的那一部分裏，祂還不是神的兒子。但是按聖別的靈說，祂藉着復活，就標出爲神的兒子。同樣的原則，按肉體說，我們都是罪人。但我們旣已得蒙重生，就能彀照着靈行事爲人。我們越照着調和的靈而行，就越經歷標出的過程。一天過一天，我們得以復活、聖別、變化、得榮。

兒子名分乃是藉着復活，並且在那靈裏得以實化。住在我們裏面的那靈，是升起的靈，也是標出的靈。…我們裏面有標出的基督作爲復活。不要設法改良自己，或使自己達到無罪的完全。反之，要享受並經歷那標出的靈。我們若靠着那靈治死身體的行爲，必要活着。（羅八13。）我們需要照着靈而行，將我們的心思置於靈，並靠着那靈治死身體的行爲。我們若天天照着靈而行，我們就完全在藉復活而標出的過程中。藉着復活的大能，我們要變化、模成，至終要得榮。

我們越藉着呼求主名來接觸祂，就越感覺祂的同在，也越覺得祂在裏面的膏油塗抹。呼求主名使我們得着澆灌、復甦、聖別、滿足和加強。這樣，我們就被帶進祂的同在中，豫備好迎接祂的回來。今天我們所需要的教訓，不是關乎豫言或時代的客觀教訓，乃是如何藉着享受並經歷基督作生命的大能而得標出的教訓。我們若有這一種教訓，我們就會領悟，在我們自己裏面是毫無盼望，且無能爲力，我們也就不會再試着改良自己。我們反而會運用我們的靈來接觸主，使我們能享受祂的膏油塗抹，並且有分於藉復活而標出的過程。（羅馬書生命讀經，二七、二六、七○四至七○五、六七七、六八○頁。）

Morning Nourishment

Rom. 1:3-4 Concerning His Son, who came out of the seed of David according to the flesh, who was designated the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness out of the resurrection of the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Before His incarnation, Christ, the divine One, was already the Son of God (John 1:18; Rom. 8:3). By incarnation He put on an element, the human flesh, that had nothing to do with divinity; that part of Him needed to be sanctified and uplifted by passing through death and resurrection. By resurrection His human nature was sanctified, uplifted, and transformed. Hence, by resurrection He was designated the Son of God with His humanity (Acts 13:33; Heb. 1:5). (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 5, “How to Be a Co-worker and an Elder and How to Fulfill Their Obligations,” p. 236)

Todays Reading

Romans 1:3-4 gives us Jesus as the prototype. In Romans 8:29-30 we have the many sons as the mass production…With the prototype there is the Spirit of holiness, the flesh, and the designation as the Son of God…We also have the Spirit of holiness within, the human flesh without, and we shall be designated in full as sons of God.

We were born the sons of man, but we have been reborn the sons of God… We are sons of God because the Spirit of the Son of God has come into us (Gal. 4:6)…Therefore, in a sense, each one of us is the same as Jesus. Jesus was a man in the flesh with the Son of God in Him. We also are men of flesh with the Son of God in us…Hallelujah! This man of flesh with the Son of God in him is under the process of sanctification, transformation, and glorification. The time will come when we will all declare, “We are designated to be sons of God out of resurrection!”

Even the Lord Jesus according to the flesh had to be designated the Son of God. Before His designation, according to the flesh, He was just the seed of David; in that part of His being He was not yet the Son of God. But by resurrection He was designated the Son of God according to the Spirit of holiness. In the same principle, according to the flesh, we are sinners. But now that we have been regenerated, we can have our being according to the spirit. The more we walk according to the mingled spirit, the more we undergo the process of designation. Day by day, we are resurrected, sanctified, transformed, and glorified.

The sonship is realized by resurrection and in the Spirit. The Spirit who dwells in us is the rising-up Spirit and the designating Spirit. We have the designating Christ as resurrection within. Do not try to improve yourself or to make yourself sinlessly perfect. Rather, enjoy and experience the designating Spirit. If by the Spirit we put to death the practices of the body, we shall live (Rom. 8:13). We need to walk according to the Spirit, set our mind upon the Spirit, and by the Spirit put to death the practices of the body. If we walk daily according to the Spirit, we shall be fully in the process of designation by resurrection. By the power of resurrection, we shall be transformed, conformed, and, eventually, glorified.

The more we contact the Lord by calling upon His name, the more we sense His presence and the more we are conscious of His anointing within. By calling on the name of the Lord, we are watered, we are refreshed, we are sanctified, we are satisfied, and we are strengthened. In this way we are brought into His presence, and we are made ready for His coming. The kind of teachings we need today are not the objective teachings about prophecy or about the dispensations but those regarding how we are designated by enjoying and experiencing Christ as the life power. If we have this kind of teaching, we shall realize that in ourselves we are hopeless and helpless, and we shall no longer try to improve ourselves. Rather, we shall exercise our spirit to contact the Lord so that we may enjoy His anointing and participate in the process of designation by resurrection.
