聖經是我們獨一無二的標準 - 生命.. 結晶.. 啓示

Main Point

The Christian life is a matter of grafting, not replacement

Explanation

1. The rich life (Christ's life) influences and transforms the poor life (human life)

2. Christ's life swallows up the defects of human life, but does not eliminate human life

3. Human life is uplifted, enriched, and transformed, rather than replaced

Grafting Process

1. The lower life (human life) is grafted into the higher life (divine life)

2. The higher life swallows up the defects and weaknesses of the lower life

3. The lower life is enriched, uplifted, and transformed

Results of Grafting

1. Problem factors are overcome

2. Original functions are restored and strengthened

3. Human characteristics are preserved but elevated

4. Wonderful fruit is produced

Characteristics of Christ's Life

1. Contains elements of incarnation, human living, crucifixion, and resurrection

2. Possesses killing power (like spiritual antibiotics)

3. Contains nourishing elements

God's Method vs. Human Method

God's method: Let Christ's life swallow up the defects of human life

Human method: Hope to completely replace human life with divine life

Examples

1. The analogy of antibiotics killing bacteria

2. Branches grafted onto a better tree, retaining characteristics but being uplifted

3. Human disposition is not abolished, but uplifted and used

Application

The more we love the Lord Jesus and become one with Him, the more we experience the killing power of spiritual antibiotics
