人四次的堕落
第一次堕落，人不用他的灵。你若读创世记第三章，会看见亚当和夏娃可能已经忘记他们的灵。他们不用灵。
第二次堕落，人凭他的魂行动。你若读创世记第四章该隐的故事，会看见他是百分之百活在魂里的人。
第三次堕落，人照着他的肉体行事。你看见这三个步骤么？第一，人忽略灵；第二，他凭魂行动；第三，他完全照着肉体生活行动。所以到了创世记六章，人变成了肉体。神无法再容忍这堕落的肉体，于是差洪水来施行审判。
第四次堕落，人集体起来背叛神。他们全人受撒但鼓动起来背叛神。问题在于谁在这宇宙中有权利，谁在地上有权柄。整个人类受鼓动，被煽动起来背叛，宣告他们不在意神的权利和权柄。想想你的经历，你会发现在你里面也有这四件事。有的时候我们不用灵，有的时候我们凭魂行动，有的时候我们更糟，照着肉体行事为人。还有的时候糟透了，在我们深处会说，“我不在乎神不神。”这是撒但的工作。
神呼召亚伯拉罕
在第四次堕落中，人堕落到了极处，不能再堕落了。人已堕落到了底。这次终极的堕落，终于使神放弃了亚当族类。神决定放弃受造的族类。神虽然放弃了受造的族类，但祂并没有放弃祂在人身上的目的。一面祂放弃了亚当族类，但另一面祂从那堕落的族类中呼召出一个人来，要有新的起头。那个蒙召的人，名叫亚伯拉罕。按照圣经，亚伯拉罕成了新族类的元首。亚当是受造族类的元首，亚伯拉罕是蒙召族类的元首。神有祂的路来达成祂的目的。不管撒但的煽动或人的煽动，神仍然是神。祂是主宰一切的。在祂主宰之下，祂拣选了一个人作新族类的元首。

Human Collective Rebellion – Gen. 12:1
The Four Falls of Man
In the first fall, man did not use his spirit. If you read Genesis chapter three, you will see that Adam and Eve may have already forgotten their spirit. They did not use the spirit.
In the second fall, man acted by his soul. If you read the story of Cain in Genesis chapter four, you will see that he was a person living one hundred percent in the soul.
In the third fall, man acted according to his flesh. Do you see these three steps? First, man neglected the spirit; second, he acted by the soul; third, he lived and moved completely according to the flesh. So by Genesis chapter six, man had become flesh. God could no longer tolerate this fallen flesh, so He sent the flood to execute judgment.
In the fourth fall, man rose up collectively to rebel against God. Their whole being was instigated by Satan to rise up and rebel against God. The question is: who has the rights in this universe, and who has the authority on the earth? The entire human race was stirred up and instigated to rebel, declaring they did not care for God’s rights and authority. Consider your experience; you will find these four things within you as well. Sometimes we do not use the spirit; sometimes we act by the soul; sometimes we are worse, behaving according to the flesh. And sometimes it is terrible — deep within us we say, “I don’t care about God or no God”. This is the work of Satan.
God Calling Abraham
In the fourth fall, man fell to the uttermost; he could not fall any lower. Man had fallen to the bottom. This ultimate fall finally caused God to give up on the Adamic race. God decided to give up the created race. Although God gave up the created race, He did not give up His purpose with man. On one hand, He gave up the Adamic race, but on the other hand, He called a man out of that fallen race to have a new beginning. That called one was named Abraham. According to the Bible, Abraham became the head of a new race. Adam was the head of the created race; Abraham is the head of the called race. God has His way to accomplish His purpose. Regardless of Satan’s instigation or man’s instigation, God is still God. He is the Sovereign One. Under His sovereignty, He chose a man to be the head of a new race.
