2023-09-02 周六 — 经纶的三一 —灵的应用

经文:你们既听了真理的话,就是那叫你们得救的福音,也在祂里面信了,就在祂里面受了所应许的圣灵为印记。(弗一13,另译)

计划完成以后,就有(现在仍有)应用的必要。在这第三步的应用里,需要更多精细的工作。在第一步,父仅仅定了计划。在第二步,子必须作许多工作来完成这计划。在第三步,那灵的应用需要许多继续的工作。那灵不是凭着自己单独作这种应用的工作,乃是作为子同着父而作。

神经纶的第三步,就是那灵的步骤,一切的工作当然是那灵作的。不过,在第三步里,子成了那灵。因此,那灵所作的无论是那一种工作,都是成为那灵的子作的。在第三步里,一切的工作都是那灵作为子同着父作的。因为在第二步完成以后,子这位完成者,同着父,已经成了那灵。因此,那灵是经过过程的三一神在祂经纶里终极的完成。那灵所作的每一样工作,都是成为那灵的子同着父作的。

The Economical Trinity – the Spirit’s Application – Eph. 1:13

After the plan was completed, there was (and still is) a need for application. In this third step of application, more delicate work is required. In the first step, the Father merely made a plan. In the second step, the Son had to do a lot of work to accomplish this plan. In the third step, the application of the Spirit requires much continuing work. The Spirit does not do this applied work by himself alone, but as the Son with the Father.

The third step of God’s economy is the step of the Spirit, and of course all the work is done by the Spirit. In the third step, however, the Son became the Spirit. Therefore, no matter what kind of work the Spirit does, it is done by the Son who became the Spirit. In the third step, all the work is done by the Spirit as the Son with the Father. Because after the completion of the second step, the Son, the accomplisher, with the Father, has become the Spirit. Thus, the Spirit is the consummation of the processed Triune God in his economy. Any work accomplished by the Spirit is done by the Son who became the Spirit with the Father.
