儿子名分的过程
照着罗马八章二十九节，我们都要模成基督的形像。我们藉着模成，就被带进儿子名分的实际里。我们重生的时候，只有一点点儿子名分。如今，这儿子名分需要在我们里面扩展，直到将我们全人浸透。至终，主回来的时候，连我们物质的身体也要被儿子名分浸透。因此，我们的身体被儿子名分浸透，就是我们的身体得赎。
今天我们的灵是在儿子名分里，但我们的身体还没有。就着灵而言，我们是神的儿子，但就着物质的身体而言，我们还不在儿子名分里。在主回来的时候，我们身体的改变形状，也就是得赎，乃是儿子名分的最后一步。那时，我们就要完全、彻底被带进儿子名分里。我们全人的每一部分－灵、魂、体－就要成为神真正的儿子。那时，我们就得着荣耀。
我们里面有儿子名分的灵作豫尝。当我们呼叫“阿爸，父”，我们就甜美的享受圣灵作豫尝。这儿子名分的灵如今正在使我们复活、圣别、变化，并且将我们模成基督的形像。
由众子建造的身体
这许多弟兄，神许多的儿子，乃是基督身体上的肢体。因为身体不能由在肉体里的罪人来建造，只能由神的众子来建造，所以先题儿子名分，然后才题身体。我们模成基督的形像之后，才能有身体的实际，而我们都是这身体的肢体。
罗马书所启示福音的目标，乃是将在肉体里的罪人，变化成为在灵里之神的众子，为要形成基督的身体。使徒保罗就在这福音上事奉神。我们也必须学习在这样的福音上事奉神。

The Manifestation of the Body of Christ – Eph. 1:29
The Process of Sonship
According to Rom. 8:29, we all shall be conformed to the image of Christ. By conformation, we are brought into the reality of sonship. When we were born again, we had just a small portion of the sonship. Now the sonship needs to spread within us until it saturates our whole being. Eventually, at the time of the Lord’s coming back, even our physical body will be saturated with the sonship. Thus, the saturation of our body with the sonship is the redemption of our body.
Today our spirit is in the sonship, but our body is not. According to the spirit we are sons of God, but according to our physical body, we are not yet in the sonship. The transfiguration, the redemption, of our body at the Lord’s coming back will be the last step of the sonship. At that time, we shall be brought wholly and thoroughly into sonship. In every part of our being – spirit, soul, and body – we shall be the real sons of God. Then we shall be glorified. We have the spirit of sonship as a foretaste: whenever we call on “Abba Father”, we will have this sweet foretaste. This sonship is resurrecting, sanctifying, transforming and conforming us into the image of Christ.
The Body Built up with Sons
These many brothers, the many sons of God, are the members of the Body of Christ. Because the Body can be built up only with sons of God, not with sinners in the flesh, the sonship is mentioned first and the Body is mentioned later. Only after we have been conformed to the image of Christ can we have the reality of the Body, of which we all are members. The goal of the gospel as revealed in the book of Romans is to transform sinners in the flesh into sons of God in the spirit for the formation of the Body of Christ. The Apostle Paul served God in this gospel. We today must also learn to serve God in such a gospel.
