0411 完全且有效的神性
我們若在他死的形狀上與他聯合， 也要在他復活的形狀上與他聯合。《羅馬書 6:5》
同復活。我經歷與耶穌同釘十字架的證據就是我與祂有明確的相似之處。耶穌的靈進入我裡面，重新安排我在神面前的個人生活。耶穌的復活賦予祂權柄將神的生命賜給我，我生命的經歷現在必須建立在祂生命的基礎上。我可以在此時此地就擁有耶穌復活的生命，且它將通過聖潔展現出來。
貫穿使徒保羅書信中的觀點是，在決定與耶穌的死認同/聯合後，耶穌復活的生命就貫穿我人性的每個部分。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。聖靈不能被接納為只是客人住在一間客房內，祂佔據所有的房間。一旦我決定我的「舊人」（即我的罪的遺傳）應該與耶穌的相聯，聖靈就會湧入我裡面。祂接管了一切，我的職責是行在光中並服從祂向我啟示的一切。一旦我對罪做出了重要的決定，就很容易「算作」我實際上「向罪死了」，因為我發現耶穌的生命一直在我裡面（羅馬書6:11）。正如人性只有一種，聖潔也只有一種，就是耶穌的聖潔，已賜給了我的，就是祂的聖潔。神把祂兒子的聖潔放在我裡面，我就屬於一個新的屬靈秩序。

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.
