83 我们要在生命里长大以建造基督的身体,就需要吸取神,往下扎根并向上结果(赛三七31);这意思是,我们需要与神有隐密交通的时间(太六6,十四22~23);基督徒的加力,光照,享受安息,喜乐,相信,解决难处,胜过试炼、试探和艰难,以及安慰,都在于他借着祷告和神的话与神秘密的交通(但六10,西四2,提后三14~17)。 83 In order to grow in life for the building up of the Body of Christ, we need to absorb God by taking root downward and bearing fruit upward (Isa. 37:31); this means that we need to have hidden times of fellowship with God (Matt. 6:6; 14:22-23); the empowering, enlightening, enjoying of rest, rejoicing, believing, solving of problems, overcoming of trials, temptations, and hardships, and comforting for a Christian all depend upon his secret fellowship with God through prayer and God’s word (Dan. 6:10; Col. 4:2; 2 Tim. 3:14-17).
