主已经为我们完成了救赎的工作。藉着祂在十字架上救赎的死,祂已满足了神在我们身上一切公义的要求,并且也为我们履行了神一切公义、圣别和荣耀的要求。藉着祂在蛇的形状中在十字架上的死,主甚至已经废除了撒但,魔鬼,就是那霸占我们、奴役我们的,好叫我们蒙拯救脱离那恶者的奴役与死亡的权势(来二14)。一切消极的事物已经藉着祂在十字架上那包罗万有的死解决了。
我们无须作任何事,只要相信主所已经完成的事。祂已经对付并解决我们所有的问题,祂没有留下甚么要我们来作的。所以不需要我们作甚么,只要我们信入祂所完成、所成功,包罗一切的救赎工作。
主经过死亡,藉着复活,且在复活里,已经释放了祂的生命,并成了赐生命的灵(林前十五45)。如今在复活里,祂是生命的灵(林后三17),带着祂救赎工作的一切功效,等候我们来信入祂。我们一旦信人祂,就不仅罪得赦免,并蒙拯救脱离撒但邪恶的黑暗权势,更接受了生命的灵,就是主自己,带着神永远的生命。这样我们便得救并重生了。乃是藉着信主并信祂包罗一切的救赎工作,我们接受了神的生命,并从祂而生成为祂的众子。
信入主的意思就是接受祂(约一12)。祂如今是赐生命的灵,带着祂完全的救赎,等候并期待我们来接受祂。我们的灵是接受的器官。我们可以藉着信入主而接受祂的灵到我们灵中。我们一信入祂,祂这灵就进入我们的灵中,我们就被祂这赐生命的灵所重生,并且与祂成为一灵(林前六17)。藉着信入祂,我们也进入祂里面,而与祂合一,有分于祂,并享受祂为我们所完成的一切。我们藉着信入祂,便在祂一切所是、所经过、所完成、所达到、所得到的事上与祂联合了。当我们藉着信入祂与祂合一,我们就被作生命的祂所拯救、所重生。藉着信入祂,我们便有分于祂作生命,并且在祂里面得了重生。

Believing into the LordIs Receiving – John 1:12
The Lord has already accomplished the work of redemption for us. Through His redeeming death on the cross, He has satisfied all of God’s righteous requirements upon us and has also fulfilled all that God’s requirement of righteousness, holiness and glory. Through His death on the cross in the form of a serpent, the Lord even abolished Satan, the devil, who possessed us and enslaved us, so that we might be delivered from the slavery of the evil one and from the power of death (Heb. 2:14). All negative things have been dealt with through His all-inclusive death on the cross.
We need not do anything — only believe in what the Lord has already accomplished. He has dealt with and solved all our problems; He has left nothing for us to do. Therefore, we do not need to do anything, but simply believe into His completed and all-inclusive work of redemption
The Lord, having passed through death and entered into resurrection, has released His life in resurrection and has become the life-giving Spirit (1 Cor. 15:45). Now, in resurrection, He is the Spirit of life (2 Cor. 3:17), carrying with Him all the effectiveness of His redeeming work, waiting for us to believe into Him. Once we believe into Him, our sins are forgiven, we are delivered from the dark power of Satan’s evil rule, and we receive the Spirit of life — the Lord Himself — together with God’s eternal life. Thus, we are saved and born again. It is by believing into the Lord and His all-inclusive redemption that we receive God’s life and are born of Him to become His many sons.
To believe into the Lord means to receive Him (John 1:12). He is now the life-giving Spirit, with His complete redemption, waiting and expecting us to receive Him. Our human spirit is the organ for receiving. By believing into the Lord, we can receive His Spirit into our spirit. Once we believe into Him, He as the Spirit enters our spirit; we are regenerated by Him as the life-giving Spirit and become one spirit with Him (1 Cor. 6:17). By believing into Him, we also enter into Him, becoming one with Him, partaking of Him, and enjoying all that He has accomplished for us. Through believing into Him, we are united with Him in all that He is, has passed through, has accomplished, has attained and has obtained. When we are united with Him by believing into Him, we are saved and regenerated by Him as life. Through believing into Him, we partake of Him as life and are regenerated in Him.
