创世记结晶读经(31):神造的第一个人没能完成神目的于是神造第二个人
太六 13『不叫我们陷入试诱，救我们脱离那恶者。因为国度、能力、荣耀，都是你的，直到永远。阿们。』
林前十五 47『头一个人是出於地，乃属土；第二个人是出於天。』
神对付我们时，总是顾到他的三个神圣属性─他的公义、圣别和荣耀。神是公义的，神是圣别的，神也是荣耀的神。公义与神的行动、作法、行为和活动有关；神所作的一切都是公义的。圣别是神的性情；圣别不是行动的事，乃是性情（性质）的事。正如桌子的性质是木，书的性质是纸；照样，神的性情乃是圣别。神的行动是公义的，他的性情是圣别。…荣耀是神自己得著彰显。神得著彰显，那就是荣耀。所以，在公义里我们看见神的作法，在圣别里我们看见神的性情，在荣耀里我们看见神得著彰显（罗马书生命读经，二四一页）。
马太六章十三节的祷告，结束於认识并赞美神的国度、能力和荣耀。这也是说到三一神。国度是子的，这国乃是神在其中施行权能的范围。能力属於那灵，这能力完成神的目的，使父能彰显他的荣耀。这指明主教导我们的祷告，乃是开始於三一神，按著父、子、灵的次序；也是结束於三一神，但是按著子、灵、父的次序。因此，主在他至高教训里所教导的祷告，开始於父神，也结束於父神。父神是开始，也是结束；是阿拉法，也是俄梅嘎（神人的生活，一一九至一二○页）。
神给人管治权的用意，是要对付神的仇敌、恢复地并带进神的权柄。〕这些事已经完成了么？当然没有。然而，神是存著这用意来创造人。撒但知道这个远比我们清楚。圣经告诉我们，人被造之后，撒但立刻进来，破坏神为他目的所创造的人。人堕落了。然而，神没有放弃人。神自己来成为一个人。他来是要进到人里面，使他自己与人成为一。他来成为第二个人，叫作耶稣（林前十五 47）。第一个人没有达成神的目的，第二个人成就了。第一个人是一个团体人，第二个人也是一个团体人。亚当是第一个团体人的元首，而基督是第二个人的元首。神的目的藉著第二个人得著成就了。… 神给人管治权，他在这事上之目的的成就开始於基督。
新约的传扬开始於一种奇特的方式，这种方式与我们的观念相反。新约的传扬开始是说，『你们要悔改，因为诸天的国已经临近了。』（太四 17）临近的意思是来了。当基督来时，神的国就来了。基督带进国度。那小小的人耶稣就是神的国。
神给人管治权之用意的实现关系到基督为元首，以及召会（包括所有圣徒）为身体。神用意的实现不只在於头，也在於身体。阴间的门不能胜过召会（十六 18）。圣经没有说，阴间的门（指撒但的权势）不能胜过众圣徒。假如圣徒是分开或单独的，阴间的门就能胜过他们。你需要被建造到召会里。用基督所建造起来的身体，绝不会被撒但击败。撒但绝不能胜过建造的召会。
众圣徒已得著捆绑仇敌的权柄（19，十八 18）。马太十六章十九节的话是对彼得说的，十八章十八节的话是对每一位信徒说的。…今天，召会连同所有的圣徒，有捆绑和释放的权柄。许多时候，我们不应该单单祷告，我们应该捆绑并释放（创世记生命读经，一○四、一○七页）。

English Version
Matt. 6:13 "And do not bring us
into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and
the power and the glory forever. Amen."
1 Cor. 15:47 "The first man is
out of the earth, earthy; the second man is out of heaven."
As God deals with us, He always cares for three of His divine attributes─His righteousness,
holiness, and glory. God is righteous, God is holy, and God is a God of glory.
Righteousness is related to God's acts, to His ways, actions, and activities.
Everything God does is righteous. Holiness is God's nature. Holiness is not a
matter of action, but of nature. As the nature of a table is wood and the
nature of a book is paper, so the nature of God is holiness. God's acts are
righteous and His nature is holiness....Glory is God Himself expressed. When
God is expressed, that is glory. Therefore, in righteousness we see God's ways,
in holiness we see God's nature, and in glory we see God expressed. (Life-study
of Romans, p. 203)
[In Matthew 6:13] is the realization and praise of God's kingdom, power,
and glory. This also refers to the Triune God. The kingdom is of the Son, which
is the realm in which God exercises His power. The power is of the Spirit,
which carries out God's intention so that the Father can express His glory.
This indicates that the prayer which the Lord teaches us to pray begins with
the Triune God, in the sequence of the Father, the Son, and the Spirit, and
ends also with the Triune God, but in the sequence of the Son, the Spirit, and
the Father. Thus, the prayer taught by the Lord in His supreme teaching begins
with God the Father and ends also with God the Father. God the Father is both
the beginning and the end, the Alpha and the Omega. (The God-man Living, p.
100)
Has this been accomplished? Certainly not. Yet, God created man with
this intention. Satan knows this much better than we do. The Bible tells us
that immediately after the creation of man,Satan came in to damage the man whom
God had created for His purpose. Man fell. However, God did not give man up. God Himself became a man. He came that
He might get into man and make Himself one with man. He came to be the second
man called Jesus (1 Cor. 15:47). The first man did not fulfill God's purpose;
the second man did. The first man was a corporate man, and the second man is
also a corporate man. Adam was the head of the first corporate man, and Christ
is the Head of the second man.
God's purpose is fulfilled by the second man....The fulfillment of God's
purpose in giving man dominion started with Christ.
The preaching in the New Testament begins in a peculiar way, in a way
that is contrary to our concept. It says, "Repent, for the kingdom of the
heavens has drawn near" (Matt. 4:17). The words has drawn near mean “is
come.” When Christ came, the kingdom of God came. Christ brought in the
kingdom. The little man Jesus was the kingdom of God.
The fulfillment of God's intention in giving man dominion involves
Christ as the Head and the church, including all the saints, as the Body. The
fulfillment of God's intention is not only with the Head, but also with the
Body. The gates of Hades cannot prevail against the church (Matt. 16:18). The
Bible does not say the gates of Hades (meaning the power of Satan) cannot
prevail against the saints. They can prevail against the saints if the saints
are separate or individualistic. You need to be built into the church. The Body
which is built up with Christ can never be defeated by Satan. Satan can never
prevail against the builded church.
The saints have been given authority to bind the enemy (Matt. 16:19;
18:18). The word in Matthew 16:19 was spoken to Peter; the word in Matthew
18:18 was spoken to every believer....Today, the church with all the saints has
the authority to bind and loose. Many times, we should not simply pray; we
should bind and loose. (Life-study of Genesis, pp. 83-84, 86)
