神经纶的启示
加拉太人从神的经纶转回到律法，想要凭肉体的努力来遵守。但我们这样努力遵守律法的时候，就远离了神。神的经纶不是要我们凭肉体的力量来遵守律法。祂的经纶是要把祂自己作到我们里面。三一神已经成为经过过程的神。藉着成为肉体，基督在肉体里来成全律法，然后把律法摆在一边。藉着复活，基督成了赐生命的灵，准备好要进到我们里面。神新约的经纶，乃是要把经过过程的三一神作到我们里面来，成为我们的生命，并我们整个人。我们若看见这件事，就能宣告说，我们已经与基督同钉十字架，现在活着的，不再是我们；然而基督就在我们里面活着，我们因着在祂里面并属于祂的信而活。我们的旧人已经钉了十字架，但新人，就是新“我”，仍然活着。现今我们因着在神儿子里面，并属于神儿子的信而活，这信产生一种生机的联结，在其中我们与基督是一。遵守律法与这种生机的联结，是无法相比的。
加拉太二章二十节启示神的经纶。在神的经纶里，神的心意是要把经过过程的三一神，作到我们全人里面，使我们成为新人，就是新“我”。旧人，就是旧“我”，没有神的“我”结束了；但新人，就是新“我”，有三一神在其中的“我”，仍然活着。我们与基督同活，并且凭基督而活。不仅如此，我们也凭信而活，信乃是把我们带进与祂是一的凭借。在这生机的联结中，我们与主是一，因我们与祂有同一的生命，和同一的生活。我们活着，祂也活着。祂活在我们里面，我们也与祂同活。
基督在我们里面活着的异象
这一节所描绘的经历，含示三一神已经经过了过程。基督成为肉体以后，在地上生活，然后被钉十字架、埋葬并复活了。在复活里，祂成了赐生命的灵。基督升天以后，得了冠冕，登上宝座，并被立为万有的主。在五旬节那一天，祂成为那灵降在祂的身体上。从那时起直到如今，祂一直在地上作工并运行，寻找珍赏祂并呼求祂名的人。每当我们因着珍赏祂，而呼求主耶稣的时候，祂就进到我们里面，成为活的信，在我们里面运行，并带我们进入与祂生机的联结中。在这联结中，我们真能说，“我已经与基督同钉十字架；现在活着的，不再是我，乃是基督在我里面活着；并且我如今在肉身里所活的生命，是我在神儿子的信里，与祂联结所活的，祂是爱我，为我舍了自己。”这就是神新约的经纶。

Christ Living in Me — Gal. 2:20
A Revelation of God’s Economy
The Galatians had turned from God’s economy and had gone back to the law, which they were trying to keep by the efforts of the flesh. But when we endeavor to keep the law in this way, we are far off from God. God’s economy is not that we try to keep the law in the strength of our flesh. His economy is to work Himself into us. The Triune God has become the processed God. Through incarnation, Christ came in the flesh to fulfill the law and then to set it aside. Through His resurrection, Christ has become the life-giving Spirit, ready to enter into us. God’s New Testament economy is for the processed Triune God to be wrought into us to become our life and our very being. If we see this, we shall be able to proclaim that we have been crucified with Christ and that we live no longer. Nevertheless Christ lives in us, and we live by the faith that is in Him and of Him. Our old person has been crucified, but the new person, the new “I,” still lives. Now we live by faith in the Son of God and of the Son of God, a faith that produces an organic union in which we and Christ are one. There is no comparison between keeping the law and such an organic union.
Galatians 2:20 is a revelation of God’s economy. In His economy God’s intention is for the processed Triune God to be wrought into our being to make us a new person, a new “I.” The old person, the old “I,” the “I” without God, is over; but the new person, the new “I,” the “I” with the Triune God in it, still lives. We live with Christ and by Christ. Furthermore, we live by faith, which is the means to bring us into oneness with Him. In this organic union we are one with the Lord, for we have one life and one living with Him. When we live, He lives. He lives in us, and we live with Him.
The Revelation of Christ Living in Me
The experience portrayed in this verse implies that God in His Trinity has been processed. After Christ was incarnated, He lived on earth and then was crucified, buried, and resurrected. In resurrection He became the life-giving Spirit. After His ascension, Christ was crowned, enthroned and made the Lord of all. On the day of Pentecost, He descended as the Spirit upon His Body. From that time until now, He has been working and moving on earth, seeking those who will appreciate Him and call on His name. Whenever we call on the Lord Jesus out of our appreciation of Him, He comes into us and becomes the living faith which operates in us and brings us into an organic union with Him. In this union we can truly say, “I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, the faith of the Son of God, Who loved me and gave Himself for me.” This is God’s New Testament economy.
