約一 12『凡接受祂的，就是信入祂名的人，祂就賜他們權柄，成爲神的兒女。』
羅十二 2『不要模倣這世代，反要藉着心思的更新而變化，叫你們驗證何爲神那美好、可喜悅、並純全的
旨意。』
一個罪人能在刹那間成爲神的兒子，這是偉大的神蹟。重生和那靈素質的充滿並經綸的充溢都是很平常的，但也是極其神奇的。這些是神奇的常事（長老訓練第九冊，三○頁）。
旣然重生的意思是由神而生，自然重生就使我們成爲神的兒女（約一 12~13）。我們是神的兒女，神是我們的父。我們藉着重生所接受的神聖生命，就是我們得作神兒女的權柄。這生命也保證，藉着我們魂的變化和身體的榮化，有一天我們要享受完滿的兒子名分（譯自『甚麼是重生』英文小冊—中文尚未出書）。

成熟的信徒要藉着一生被神的榮耀浸透而從裏面得榮耀，也要藉着被帶進神的榮耀而從外面得榮耀。
裏面的浸透是一生之久的過程，而我們在外面被帶進神的榮耀乃是眨眼之間的事。在一刹那，眨眼之間，我們要被帶進神的榮耀（神生機救恩的祕訣—『那靈自己同我們的靈』，七九頁）。
聖靈在我們裏面的變化不是一時所能完成 的 …，乃是一生之久纔能成就的（ 林後四16~17）。我們天天接觸主，就得着祂復活生命新鮮供應的滋養，而得以不斷的更新…變化（神生命的救恩，四一至四二頁）。
當我們相信主耶穌，呼求祂名的時候，祂這賜生命的靈就進入我們靈裏，並重生了我們的靈。從此以後，三一神便內住於我們的靈。於是，我們在靈裏就與祂是一。
現今祂需要從我們的靈擴展到我們的魂裏。祂這位賜生命的靈擴展到我們的魂裏，並浸透我們的魂時，
我們就被變化了。變化就是我們的魂被三一神浸透。重生是在我們靈裏的出生，變化是在我們魂裏的浸透。
變化乃是一種新陳代謝的改變。就着物質的身體來說，新陳代謝是指細胞裏排除舊素質，加上新素質的過程。這種改變應用到魂裏，就是新約所說的『變化』（林後三 18，羅十二 2）。…變化乃是生命的改變，而不僅僅是外表的改變。神聖的成分加到我們裏面，取代了老舊屬人的成分。這種生機的改變發生在我們的魂裏。
因此，我們的靈需要重生，我們的魂需要變化。各地召會的聖徒都應當關心這件事，就是藉着神聖之靈的擴展而帶來生命上新陳代謝的改變（保羅的完成職事，九○至九一頁）。
變化不是任何一種外面的改正或調整。…變化是一種新陳代謝的作用，藉着將基督神聖生命的元素加到他們全人裏面，而在外面彰顯出基督的形像。…要有…健康的膚色，不是藉着塗化妝品，乃是藉着吃營養的食物，然後消化並新陳代謝的吸收。我們若吃得正確，我們所消化並吸收的食物就會供應我們一種新元素，這新元素至終會使我們的臉色產生一種外在、看得見的改變。變化的原則也是一樣。變化是裏面的新陳代謝，產生外面的顯出（神生機救恩的祕訣—『那靈自己同我們的靈』，四四頁）。

WEEK 6 — DAY 1
Morning Nourishment
John 1:12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the authority to become children of
God, to those who believe into His name.
Rom. 12:2 And do not be fashioned according to this age, but be transformed by the
renewing of the mind that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good
and well pleasing and perfect.
It is a great miracle that a sinner can be made a son of God in an instant.
Regeneration and being filled with the Spirit essentially and economically are very
normal, but they are also miraculous to the uttermost. They are miraculous normalities.
(Elders' Training, Book 9: The Eldership and the God-ordained Way (1), p. 32)
Since regeneration means to be born of God, it automatically causes us to become the children of God (John 1:12-13). We are His children and He is our Father. The divine life we receive through regeneration is our authority to be His children. It is also a guarantee that one day, through the transformation of our soul and the glorification of our body, we shall enjoy full sonship. (What Is Regeneration? pp. 12-13)
Today's Reading
The matured believers will be glorified from within through the lifelong saturation with the glory of God and from without through their being brought into God's glory.
Whereas the inner saturating is a lifelong process, our being brought into God's glory outwardly will be instantaneous. In an instant, in the twinkling of an eye, we will be brought into God's glory. (The Secret of God's Organic Salvation—“the Spirit Himself with Our Spirit," p. 69)
The transformation within us by the Holy Spirit cannot be accomplished in an instant....[It] is achieved throughout our entire life (2 Cor. 4:16-17).
When we contact the Lord daily, we receive the nutrients freshly supplied by His resurrection life. Thus, we will be renewed and transformed in a continuing way. (God's Salvation in Life, p. 40)When we believed on the Lord Jesus and called on His name, He as the life-giving Spirit entered into our spirit and regenerated it. Since then, the Triune God has indwelt our spirit. Thus, in spirit we are one with Him.
Now there is the need for Him to spread from our spirit into our soul. When He as the life-giving Spirit has spread into our soul and saturated it, we are transformed. Transformation is the saturation of our soul by the Triune God. Regeneration is a birth in our spirit; transformation, a saturation in our soul.
Transformation is a metabolic change. In the physical body metabolism refers to the processes in cells by which old materials are discharged and new are added. This change, applied to the soul, is called in the New Testament transformation (2 Cor. 3:18; Rom. 12:2)....Transformation is a change in life, not merely in appearance. The divine element is added to us; this discharges
the old human element. This organic change takes place in our soul.
Our spirit, then, needs regeneration; our soul, transformation. In all the churches the saints should be concerned about this metabolic change in life through the spreading of the divine Spirit. (The Completing Ministry of Paul, pp. 65-66)
Transformation i s not any kind of out ward correction or adjustment....Transformation is a kind of metabolism, by the addition of the element of the divine life of Christ into the believers' being, to be expressed outwardly in the image of Christ....The way to have...a healthy complexion is not to apply cosmetics but to eat nourishing food and then to digest and assimilate it metabolically. If we eat properly, the food we digest and assimilate will supply us with a new element which will eventually produce an outward and visible change in our facial color. The principle is the same with transformation. Transformation is a matter of inward metabolism
issuing in an outward expression. (The Secret of God's Organic Salvation—“the Spirit Himself with Our Spirit," p. 41)
