2. God's purpose is accomplished by the divine life dispensed into His chosen and redeemed people; as God's life is wrought into His people, a metabolic reaction takes place within them that causes them to be transformed and become the same as God—John 3:15; 1 John 5:11-12; 2 Cor. 3:18; Rom. 8:29.
二 “人”在圣经里是个重大的辞─创一26，诗八4～6：
B. Man is a great word in the Bible—Gen. 1:26; Psa. 8:4-6:

1. God's intention is with man, God's thought is focused on man, and God's heart is set upon man.
2 完成神计划的是人，彰显神的是人，击败神仇敌的是人，将神的国带到人类中间的也是人。
2. It is man who fulfills God's plan, it is man who expresses God, it is man who defeats God's enemy, and it is man who brings the kingdom of God into the human race.
3 人是神显现的凭借，人是神行动的凭借，人也是神行政的凭借─结一26、5、10。
3. Man is the means of God's manifestation, man is the means of God's move, and man is the means of God's administration—Ezek. 1:26, 5, 10.

二 “我们要……造人”启示，神格的三者之间，为着人的创造，举行了会议─创一26上：
B. Let Us make man reveals that a council was held among the three of the God- head regarding the creation of man—Gen. 1:26a:
1 在已过的永远，三一神决定要创造人，这指明人的创造乃是为着三一神永远的定旨─弗三9～11。

1. Because we were created according to God's kind, our human virtues have the capacity to contain the divine attributes—10:1; 11:10.
2 神按着祂的形像造人，意思是神创造人有一个心意，要人成为神的复本，神的复制，使神得着团体的彰显；这个复制使神喜乐，因为祂的复制看起来像祂，说话像祂，生活像祂─约十二24，罗八29，来二10，约壹三1～2。
2. For God to create man in His image means that God created man with the intention that man would become a duplicate of God, the reproduction of God, for His corporate expression; this reproduction makes God happy because it looks like Him, speaks like Him, and lives like Him—John 12:24; Rom. 8:29; Heb. 2:10; 1 John 3:1-2.

二 这一个新人乃是战士，与神的仇敌争战─弗六10～13：

1 战士不是召会的身分，而是召会作为新人的一方面。
1. The warrior is not a status of the church but an aspect of the church as the new man.
2 召会这团体的新人是一个战士，信徒们一起组成这新人。
2. The church as the corporate new man is the warrior, and the believers together make up this new man.
3 我们必须在基督的身体里，在一个新人里，打属灵的仗，绝不能单独作战。
3. We must fight the spiritual warfare not individually but in the Body, in the one new man.
