创世记结晶读经(二二): 神在基督里复制我们成神人

约十二 24『我实实在在的告诉你们，一粒麦子不落在地里死了，仍旧是一粒；若是
死了，就结出许多子粒来。』
罗八 29『因为神所豫知的人，他也豫定他们模成神儿子的形像，使他儿子在许多弟
兄中作长子。』

    根据圣经，神的形像与他的复制有关。创世记一章的『形像』，是为著神得以
复制、得以『翻版』在人身上。这就是说，人这样被造，是使人能成为神的复制，
神的翻版。…神造人的目的既是要人成为他的复制，而且这目的乃是用『形像』一
辞来指明，我们就可以接著说，『形像』一辞含示盛装神的度量。人若没有盛装神
的度量，怎能成为神的复制，神的翻版？人要成为神的翻版，就必须有盛装神之所
是的度量或能力（路加福音生命读经，五五九至五六○页）。

    神真正的嗜好是要在全地许多国家得著他的复制。这样的复制使神喜乐，因为
他的复制看起来像他，说话像他，生活像他。神在这复制里，他的复制有他的生命、
他的性情和他的构成。这是何等大的事！（历代志生命读经，一三页）

    圣经里对於神和人的关系，有一个奥秘的思想。神的心意是要成为与人一样，
并使人与他一样。这意思是说，神的目的是要将他自己与人调在一起，因而使他自
己像人，也使人像他。主耶稣乃是神人；他是完整的神和完全的人。我们也可以说，
他是人而神者。我们今天所敬拜的，乃是人而神者。不仅如此，成为像摩西一样属
神的人（申三三 1，书十四 6，诗九十标题），就是成为神人，成为与神调和的人。
神喜悦所有蒙他拣选并救赎的人，都成为神人（以西结书生命读经，一五五至一五
六页）。

    我们需要神在基督里将他自己作到我们里面，作我们的生命、性情和构成。结
果，我们不仅成为合乎神心的人─我们在生命和性情上（但不是在神格上）就是神。
…为要成就这事，神就在基督里成为人，并且经过一些过程，使这人能被标出为神
圣的。在复活里，他被标出为神的长子。在复活里，并藉著复活，神的长子基督成
了赐生命的灵，现今进入我们里面，将他自己当作生命分赐到我们里面，作我们内
里的构成，使我们成为神人，就像他自己一样。他是神成为人，我们是人成为神─
在生命和性情上，但不是在神格上（撒母耳记生命读经，二○四页）。

    我(李)的负担就是要你们清楚看见，神的经纶、计画就是要把他自己作成人，
又把我们这些他所造的人作成神，叫他自己『人化』，叫我们众人『神化』。结果，
他和我们，我们和他，都成了神人。所以作好人、作属灵人、作圣人是不彀的，今
天神所要的不是这些，他所要的乃是神人。不要盼望修改自己，因为神不要你作好
人，他要你作神人。他是你的生命和一切，目的就是要你能彰显他，活出他来。

    我们犹如他的一张照片，有他的形像，但没有他的生命。等到我们重生以后，
我们这张照片就成了『真人』，有他的生命、性情，和他一样。他是神化人，我们
是人化神，结果二人成为一人，都是神人。这是圣经神圣的启示（关于神圣分赐更
深的研读，四五页）。

John 12:24 "Truly, truly, I say to you, Unless the grain of wheat falls
into the ground and dies,   it abides alone; but if it dies, it bears much
fruit."

Rom. 8:29 "Because those whom He foreknew, He also predestinated to be conformed
to the  image of His Son, that He might be the Firstborn among many brothers.
"

    According to the Bible the image of God is related to His duplication.
In Genesis 1 “image” is for God to be duplicated, to be “copied” in man.
This means that man was created in such a way that he could become God's
duplication, His copy....Since God created man for the purpose of man's
becoming His duplication, and since this purpose is indicated by the use
of the word image, we may go on to say that the word image implies the capacity
to contain God. If man did not have the capacity to contain God, how could
he become God's duplication, His copy? In order for man to be a copy of
God, man must have the capacity or ability to contain what God is.
(Life-study of Luke, p. 486)

    God's real hobby is to have His reproduction in many nations around
the globe. Such a reproduction makes God happy because His reproduction
looks like Him, speaks like Him, and lives like Him. God is in this reproduction,
 and His reproduction has His life, His nature, and His constitution. What
a great matter this is! (Life-study of 1 & 2 Chronicles, p. 11)

    In the Bible there is a mysterious thought concerning the relationship
between God and man. God's desire is to become the same as man is and to
make man the same as He is. This means that God's intention is to mingle
Himself with man and thereby make Himself like man and make man like Him.
The Lord Jesus is the God-man; He is the complete God and the perfect man.
We may also say that He is the Man-God. The One whom we worship today is
the Man-God. Furthermore, to be a man of God, as Moses was (Deut. 33:1;
Josh. 14:6; Psa. 90, title), is to be a God-man, a man who is mingled with
God. It is a delight to God that all His chosen and redeemed people would
be God-men. (Life-study of Ezekiel, p. 124)

    We need God to work Himself in Christ into us as our life, our nature,
and our constitution. As a result, we are not simply a man according to
God's heart─we are God in life and in nature but not in the Godhead....In
order to accomplish this, God in Christ became a man and went through some
processes that this man could be designated something divine. In resurrection
He was designated the firstborn Son of God. In and through resurrection
Christ, the firstborn Son of God, became the life-giving Spirit, who now
enters into us to impart, to dispense, Himself as life into our being to
be our inner constitution, to make us a God-man just like Him. He was God
becoming man, and we are man becoming God in life and in nature but not
in the Godhead. (Life-study of 1 & 2 Samuel, p. 168)

    My burden is to show you clearly that God's economy and plan is to make
Himself man and to make us, His created beings, “God,” so that He is “man-ized”
and we are “God-ized.” In the end, He and we, we and He, all become God-men.
Hence, it is not enough for us to be good men, spiritual men, or holy men.
These are not what God is after. What God wants today is God-men. God does
not expect us to improve ourselves, because God is not after our being good
men. He wants us to be God-men. He is our life and everything to us for
the purpose that we would express Him and live Him out.

    We are like a picture, which has His image, but is without His life.
After we are regenerated, this picture becomes the “real” person, having
His life and nature, and being the same as He is. He is God “man-ized,”
and we are man “God-ized.” In the end, the two become one, both being God-men.
 This is the divine revelation of the Bible. (A Deeper Study of the Divine
Dispensing, p. 54)
