神的建造_God’s Building 中

其實整本聖經在講一件事就是神的建造。在創世記開始，提到伊甸園旁邊有一道比遜河，有金子、珍珠和紅瑪瑙，這些材料是三一神建造結構的基本元素：

金是父神神聖的性情，被呼召的人都有分的，珍珠是子神救贖之門，紅瑪瑙是靈神變化救贖之人過程；

三一之神建造工作所產生新耶路撒冷，就是由金、珍珠、和寶石這三類材料構成的: 金城碧玉牆，城根基用寶石裝飾，牆上有珍珠門_啟21:18～21。

神建造過程也可用馬太十三章撒種者的比喻來說明：主將祂自己當作生命的種子，撒在人心的土壤里，使祂能生長並活在他們裡面，且從他們裡面彰顯出來。

This is also illustrated by the parable of the sower in Matthew 13: The Lord sows Himself as the seed of life into men's hearts, the soil, that He might grow and live in them and be expressed from within them.

種子撒到土壤里，是憑土壤里的養分而長大；結果，種子的出產乃是由種子和土壤的元素所組成。

The seed is sown into the soil to grow with the nutrients of the soil; as a result, the produce is a composition of elements from both the seed and the soil.

在我們裡面有一些養分是神所造的，預備讓祂進到我們裡面，在我們裡面長大；神造了人的靈，有人的養分，也造了人的心，作為神聖種子生長的土壤。

We have within us certain nutrients created by God as a preparation for His coming into us to grow in us; God has created the human spirit with the human nutrients along with the human heart as the soil for the divine seed.

我們在生命里長大的速度，不在於神聖的種子，乃在於我們供應這種子多少的養分；我們供應的養分越多，種子就長得越快，並且越茂盛。

The rate at which we grow in life depends not on the divine seed but on how many nutrients we afford this seed; the more nutrients we supply, the faster the seed will grow and the more it will flourish.

我們若留在魂里，留在天然的人里，就沒有任何養分為着神聖種子的長大；但我們若得着加強到裡面的人里，並且注意我們的靈，操練我們的靈，就能夠供應養分，基督就能安家在我們心裡。

If we remain in our soul, in our natural man, there will not be any nutrients for the growth of the divine seed, but if we are strengthened into our inner man and if we pay attention to our spirit and exercise our spirit, the nutrients will be supplied, and Christ will make His home in our hearts.

我們若要主這生命的種子在我們裡面長大，作我們完滿的享受，我們就必須向主完全敞開，並與主合作，徹底地對付我們的心。

If we are going to have the Lord as the seed of life grow within us to be our full enjoyment, we have to open to the Lord absolutely and cooperate with Him to deal thoroughly with our heart.

一面，神用祂自己作元素加強我們；另一面，我們提供養分；借着這二者，神在基督里就在我們的全人里完成祂內在的建造，就是建造祂的家。

On the one hand, God strengthens us with Himself as the element, and on the other hand, we afford the nutrients; through these two God in Christ carries out His intrinsic building— the building of His home—in our entire being.

牆是用碧玉造的，城是純金的，如同明淨的玻璃。

城牆的根基是用各樣寶石裝飾的。第一根基是碧玉，第二是藍寶石，第三是瑪瑙，第四是綠寶石，

第五是紅瑪瑙，第六是紅寶石，第七是黃璧璽，第八是水蒼玉，第九是黃玉，第十是翡翠，第十一是紫瑪瑙，第十二是紫晶。

十二個門是十二顆珍珠，每一個門各自是一顆珍珠造的，城內的街道是純金，好像透明的玻璃。
