10我们可能谈论基督是我们的生命,但我们若对祂没有真实的爱,祂是我们的生命就只是道理。……我们若要享受耶稣作生命,就必须爱祂。只要我们爱祂,即使我们不知道“生命”这辞,我们也会享受生命。我们不懂得道理,但我们会享受耶稣这活的人位作我们的生命。……我们也许有许多教训,有各样恩赐和能力,却不愿意接受基督的个性。主耶稣……需要一个像彼得那样爱祂的人,能对祂说,“哦,主耶稣,我爱你!我跟从你。我以你作我的人位。我接受你的个性作我的个性。我接受你的意愿作我的意愿。我接受你的愿望作我的愿望。我不在意教训、恩赐和能力,我只在意你自己。我爱你,我跟从你,接受你作我的人位。”(李文集一九七二年第一册,三○七至三一○页)
10We may talk about Christ being our life, but if we do not have the real love toward Him, He is only life to us in doctrine…If we would enjoy Jesus as life, we must love Him. As long as we love Him, even if we do not know the term life, we will enjoy life. We will not know a doctrine, but we will enjoy Jesus, a living person, as our very life. We may have many teachings with all the gifts and power, and yet we would not take the personality of Christ. The Lord Jesus… needs someone like Peter to love Him, someone to tell Him, “O Lord Jesus, I love You! I follow You. I take You as my person. I take Your personality as my personality. I take Your will as my will. I take Your desire as my desire. I do not care for teachings, gifts, and power. I just care for You. I love You, and I follow You, taking You as my person.” (CWWL, 1972, vol. 1, “Life and Building as Portrayed in the Song of Songs,” pp. 234236)
