人的三部分与神的救恩的三个步骤
我们人类有三部分：灵、魂、体。在神的救恩里有三个步骤：重生、变化、改变形状。我们相信主耶稣的时候，重生就在我们的灵里发生。现今我们若住在神圣生命的交通里，这就给神圣的生命开了路，得以扩展到我们的魂里，变化我们里面之人的各部分。当主耶稣回来的时候，祂要将我们的身体改变形状，我们就要完全在神圣的生命和神圣的荣耀里。
今天我们的魂和身体都带给我们麻烦。我们若不住在神圣生命的交通里，我们的身体和魂就要为难我们。所有的信徒已经经历了神救恩的初阶，就是重生。藉着重生，神圣的出生，我们得着了神圣的生命，就是在子里面永远的生命，这永远的生命实际上就是子自己。
重生的灵胜过世界
根据约壹五章四节所说，凡从神生之物，就胜过世界。我们已经看见，“凡从神生之物”是指人的灵。所以，胜过世界的乃是重生之人的灵。有能力胜过邪恶、属撒但之世界的，乃是我们灵里神圣的生命。我们被试诱包围着，甚么能胜过试诱？我们灵里神圣的生命能胜过试诱。我们都需要看见，我们的灵与神圣的生命调和，这灵是能胜过世界的器官。
在胜过世界这件事上，我们不该信靠我们自己的能力或努力，我们需要信靠我们的灵。我们的灵足能胜过撒但与世界那邪恶的系统，但我们在自己里面无法胜过世界。我们运用我们的灵，停留在我们的灵里，且凭着我们的灵生活行动，我们的灵就有生命的能力胜过一切消极的事物。这就是为甚么我们需要运用我们的灵与主有交通，并且为着享受主有祷告。我们也需要运用我们的灵，呼求主名并祷读主话。这种操练激发我们灵里的能力以胜过世界。

For Whatever Is Born of God Overcomes the World – 1 John 5:4-5
The Tripartite Man and Three Steps of God’s Salvation
As human beings we have three parts: the spirit, the soul and the body. In God’s salvation there are three steps: regeneration, transformation and transfiguration. Regeneration took place in our spirit when we believed in the Lord Jesus. Now if we abide in the fellowship of the divine life, this will open the way for the divine life to spread into our soul and to transform the parts of our inward being. When the Lord Jesus comes back, He will transfigure our bodies. Then we shall be fully in the divine life and in the divine glory. Today both our soul and body give us trouble. If we do not abide in the fellowship of the divine life, our body and soul will give us a difficult time. All believers have experienced regeneration, the initial step of God’s salvation. Through regeneration, the divine birth, we received the divine life, the eternal life, which is in the Son. Actually, this eternal life is the Son Himself.
The Regenerated Spirit Overcomes the World
According to 5:4, everything that has been begotten of God overcomes the world. We have seen that “everything” points to the human spirit. Therefore, it is the regenerated human spirit that overcomes the world. It is the divine life in our spirit that has the ability to overcome the evil, satanic world. We are surrounded by temptations. What can overcome them? The divine life in our spirit can overcome temptation. We all need to see that our spirit is mingled with the divine life and is the organ that can overcome the world.
Regarding overcoming the world, we should not trust in our own ability or effort, we need to trust our spirit. Our spirit is well able to overcome Satan and the world, the evil system. But in ourselves we cannot overcome the world. When we exercise our spirit, stay in our spirit, and walk by our spirit, we shall see that our spirit has the life ability to overcome all negative things. This is why we need to exercise our spirit to have fellowship with the Lord and pray concerning the enjoyment of the Lord. We also need to exercise our spirit to call on the Lord’s name and to pray-read the Word. This exercise stirs up the ability in our spirit to overcome the world.
