第六篇 在神的国里在神行政下实行神的旨意，为使召会作神的以色列
Doing the Will of God in the Kingdom of God under the Government of God for the Church as the Israel of God
读经：约壹二17，太七21，彼前一17，二24，五6~7、10，加六10、15~16
壹 我们要在神的国里实行神的旨意─太七21，十二50：
I. We need to do the will of God in the kingdom of God—Matt. 7:21; 12:50:
一 “唯独实行神旨意的，永远长存”─约壹二17：
A. "He who does the will of God abides forever"—1 John 2:17:
1 世界抵抗父神，世界上的事抵抗神的旨意─15~16节：
1. The world is against God the Father, and the things in the world are against the will of God—vv. 15-16:
a 在积极一面，我们有父和祂的旨意。
a. On the positive side, we have the Father and His will.
b 在消极一面，我们有世界和世界上的事。
b. On the negative side, we have the world and the things in the world.
2 我们要经常不断地实行神的旨意，不是偶尔为之；用于十七节的“实行”这动词，在原文指因着住（在一些事里）而习惯且持续地行（那些事）。─引用经文
2. We need to do the will of God habitually and continually, not just occasionally; this is indicated by the fact that the Greek verb for does in verse 17 denotes doing (things) habitually and continually by abiding (in the things).
二 我们要在来世进入诸天之国的实现，就必须在今世实行我们父的旨意─太七21~23，六10，十二50，启四11，罗十二2，弗一5、9、11，五17，西一9，四12：
B. In order to enter into the manifestation of the kingdom of the heavens in the coming age, we must do the will of our Father in this age—Matt. 7:21-23; 6:10; 12:50; Rev. 4:11; Rom. 12:2; Eph. 1:5, 9, 11; 5:17; Col. 1:9; 4:12:
1 国度完全是神旨意的事，并全然完成了神的旨意；事实上，国度就是神的旨意─太六10。
1. The kingdom is absolutely a matter of God's will and completely fulfills God's will; in fact, the kingdom is God's will—Matt. 6:10.
2 诸天之国宪法的终极结果，乃是天父的旨意─七21。
2. The ultimate issue of the constitution of the kingdom of the heavens is the will of the heavenly Father—7:21.
3 我们是国度的子民，在地上实行父的旨意─21节，十二50。
3. As the kingdom people, we are on earth to do the Father's will—v. 21; 12:50.
4 我们要实行父的旨意，就必须进窄门，走狭路─七13~14：
4. In order to do the will of the Father, we need to enter in through the narrow gate and walk on the constricted way—7:13-14:
a 窄门把旧人、己、肉体、人的观念、世界同其荣耀，都摒除在外；只有合乎神旨意的，才能进去。
a. The narrow gate excludes the old man, the self, the flesh, the human concept, and the world with all its glory; only that which corresponds with God's will can enter in.
b 当我们走在狭路上，我们就受到一种奥秘、看不见、内在的管治所约束，并且我们活在这管治之下。
b. As we walk on the constricted way, we are restricted by a mysterious, invisible, inward control, and we live under this control.
5 凡实行父旨意的，就是主耶稣的亲人─十二50：
5. Whoever does the will of the Father is a relative of the Lord Jesus—12:50:
a 基督这位属天的君王，总是降服于父的旨意，接受神的旨意作祂的分，不抵抗任何事─十一28~30，二六39。
a. Christ, the heavenly King, always submitted to the Father's will, taking God's will as His portion and not resisting anything—11:28-30; 26:39.
b 凡实行父旨意的，就是帮助主耶稣的弟兄，同情祂的姊妹，以及柔和慈爱的母亲。
b. Whoever does the will of the Father is a brother who helps the Lord Jesus, a sister who sympathizes with Him, and a mother who tenderly loves Him.
6 父永远的旨意是要把召会建造在子基督这磐石上─十六18，弗二21~22，四16。
6. The Father's eternal will is to build up the church upon Christ the Son as the rock—16:18; Eph. 2:21-22; 4:16.
贰 我们要在神的国里实行神的旨意，就必须过一种在神行政下的基督徒生活─彼前一17，二24，五6~7、10：

3. God governs by judging; this judgment of God is for the carrying out of His government—1 Pet. 1:17; 4:17.
4 彼前一章十七节所说，父所施行的审判，乃是神现今、每天在行政上对付祂儿女所施行的审判。─引用经文
4. The judgment in 1 Peter 1:17, which is carried out by the Father, is the present, daily judgment of God's governmental dealings with His children.
5 神审判任何不符合祂行政的事物；所以，在今世我们这些神的儿女乃是在神每天的审判之下─17节。

b. In our Christian life we should live in a way that matches the righteous requirements of His government—Psa. 89:14; Matt. 5:6, 10.
3 我们该谦卑服在神那执行祂行政之大能的手下─彼前五6：
