四十八、选民在荣耀里与基督的交通

82问：无形教会的成员在荣耀里所享有的与基督的交通是什么？

答：无形教会的成员在荣耀里所享有的与基督的交通，是在于今生(林后3:18)、死后（路23:43），以及最终在复活与审判日达于完全的交通（帖前4:17）。

Q. 82. What is the communion in glory which the members of the invisible church have with Christ?

A. The communion in glory which the members of the invisible church have with Christ, is in this life, immediately after death, and at last perfected at the resurrection and day of judgment.

83问：无形教会的成员今生在荣耀里所享有的与基督的交通是指什么？

答：这种交通是指：

  1. 无形教会的成员今生得蒙与基督一同得荣的初熟的果子，因基督是他们的元首，他们是祂的肢体，所以在祂里面，与祂所有的荣耀有份（弗2:5－6）；
  2. 他们享有上帝的慈爱（罗5:，比较林后1:22），良知的平安，圣灵里的喜乐，和荣耀的盼望（罗5:1－2；14:17），这些都是他们得基业的凭据；
  3. 而恶人则感受到上帝复仇的愤怒，良知的恐惧，对将来审判的畏惧，这些痛苦始于今生，并在死后承受（创4:13；太27:4；来10:27；罗2:9；可9:44）。

Q. 83. What is the communion in glory with Christ which the members of the invisible church enjoy in this life?

A. The members of the invisible church have communicated to them in this life the firstfruits of glory with Christ, as they are members of him their head, and so in him are interested in that glory which he is fully possessed of; and, as an earnest thereof, enjoy the sense of God’s love, peace of conscience, joy in the Holy Ghost, and hope of glory; as, on the contrary, sense of God’s revenging wrath, horror of conscience, and a fearful expectation of judgment, are to the wicked the beginning of their torments which they shall endure after death.
