13我还记得我悔改得救的情形,那是在我十九岁快二十岁的时候。我生在基督教,长在基督教,也在基督教里受教育。虽然我尚未得救,却已听了很多关于圣经的传讲和教训。但有一天下午,我听见了福音,在几个小时之内我成了另一个人。事实上乃是这“联结”的信改变了我。那时我从纯诚的心里,从全人的最深处,向神呼吁。那是分赐到我里面的信作了我信的元素,把我与奇妙的神联结在一起。信是我们得救的联结,把神联于我们,也把我们联于神。…我原是罪人,是神的仇敌,但我成了神人。这是因为有个东西联到我里面,与我联在一起,并且把我与神联结起来。那就是信(李文集一九九四至一九九七年第一册,三六三页)。
13I still remember my conversion when I was at the end of my nineteenth year of age. I was born into, raised up, and educated in Christianity. I had heard much preaching and teaching about the Bible, though I was not saved. But one afternoon I heard the gospel, and within a few hours I was a changed person. Actually, it was the linking faith that changed me. At that time from my sincere heart, from the depths of my being, I cried to God. That was the faith, imparted into me as my believing element, that linked me with the marvelous God. Faith is the linking of our salvation; it links God with us and links us to God… I was a sinner, an enemy of God, but I became a God-man. This is because something linked into me, linked with me, and linked me to God. That was faith. (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 1, “Crystallization-study of the Epistle to the Romans,” pp. 295-296)
