10) Q. Now that believers are united to God by receiving Him, is this enough?
A. Union is not sufficient to bring us into an incorporation with the Triune God. In order to be incorporated with the consummated God, we need to be mingled with Him.
问:既然信徒借着接受神与祂联结,这就足够了吗?
答:联结还不足以把我们带进与三一神的合并里。为要与终极完成的神合并,我们需要与祂调和。
