1) Q. In order to live the life of a God-man, I want to know what the God-man living is.

2) Q. I am not familiar with the term God-man. Who is a God-man?

3) Q. My Christian life is full of ups and downs. Is this kind of life pleasing to God?

5) Q. I want to live the life of a God-man. How do I live a life like the Lord did when He was on earth?

问:我想过神人的生活。我如何能过一个象主在地上所过的生活呢?

6) Q. If such a life was first found in the Lord, how can we have the same life?
A. Originally, such a life was an individual man, Jesus Christ; now this life is being repeated in many men who have been redeemed and regenerated and who possess the divine life.
问:若这样的生活起初只是在主身上才能找到,那我们如何能有同样的生活呢?
答:这样的生活起初只是在个人的耶稣基督身上;如今这生活是重复在许多蒙了救赎、重生,有神圣生命的人身上。
7) Q. As a member of the Body, isn’t it enough just to care for the feeling of the Head?

问:作为身体的一个肢体,仅仅顾到头的感觉难道还不够吗?

A. The strongest proof that we have seen the Body is that we can no longer be individualistic. As members of the Body, we should have a feeling for the Body.
问:一个看见了身体的基督徒还个人主义地生活和事奉,这可能吗?
