0411 完全且有效的神性
我们若在他死的形状上与他联合， 也要在他复活的形状上与他联合。《罗马书 6:5》
同复活。我经历与耶稣同钉十字架的证据就是我与祂有明确的相似之处。耶稣的灵进入我里面，重新安排我在神面前的个人生活。耶稣的复活赋予祂权柄将神的生命赐给我，我生命的经历现在必须建立在祂生命的基础上。我可以在此时此地就拥有耶稣复活的生命，且它将通过圣洁展现出来。
贯穿使徒保罗书信中的观点是，在决定与耶稣的死认同/联合后，耶稣复活的生命就贯穿我人性的每个部分。要在肉身中活出神子的生命，那需要神的全能，祂完全且有效的神性。圣灵不能被接纳为只是客人住在一间客房内，祂占据所有的房间。一旦我决定我的「旧人」（即我的罪的遗传）应该与耶稣的相联，圣灵就会涌入我里面。祂接管了一切，我的职责是行在光中并服从祂向我启示的一切。一旦我对罪做出了重要的决定，就很容易「算作」我实际上「向罪死了」，因为我发现耶稣的生命一直在我里面（罗马书6:11）。正如人性只有一种，圣洁也只有一种，就是耶稣的圣洁，已赐给了我的，就是祂的圣洁。神把祂儿子的圣洁放在我里面，我就属于一个新的属灵秩序。

0411 Complete and Effective Divinity
If we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection… —Romans 6:5
Co-Resurrection. The proof that I have experienced crucifixion with Jesus is that I have a definite likeness to Him. The Spirit of Jesus entering me rearranges my personal life before God. The resurrection of Jesus has given Him the authority to give the life of God to me, and the experiences of my life must now be built on the foundation of His life. I can have the resurrection life of Jesus here and now, and it will exhibit itself through holiness.
The idea all through the apostle Paul’s writings is that after the decision to be identified with Jesus in His death has been made, the resurrection life of Jesus penetrates every bit of my human nature. It takes the omnipotence of God— His complete and effective divinity— to live the life of the Son of God in human flesh. The Holy Spirit cannot be accepted as a guest in merely one room of the house— He invades all of it. And once I decide that my “old man” (that is, my heredity of sin) should be identified with the death of Jesus, the Holy Spirit invades me. He takes charge of everything. My part is to walk in the light and to obey all that He reveals to me. Once I have made that important decision about sin, it is easy to “reckon” that I am actually “dead indeed to sin,” because I find the life of Jesus in me all the time (Romans 6:11). Just as there is only one kind of humanity, there is only one kind of holiness— the holiness of Jesus. And it is His holiness that has been given to me. God puts the holiness of His Son into me, and I belong to a new spiritual order.
