12真属灵乃是基督,一个活的人位。所以,我们要属灵,就该接受基督作我们的人位。正如子基督宣告,祂说话的时候,乃是父作事;我们应当能宣告,我们行事的时候,基督就在我们里面作事。例如,我们应当能说,我们去买东西,或与配偶说话时,乃是基督在我们里面作事。然后我们就能像使徒保罗在加拉太二章二十节那样宣告:“不再是我,乃是基督在我里面活着。”我们若接受基督作我们的人位,而不是努力凭一己之力属灵,我们就会真属灵(李常受文集一九七一年第二册,二八六至二八七页)。
12Genuine spirituality is Christ, a living person. Therefore, in order for us to be spiritual, we should take Christ as our person. Just as Christ the Son declared that when He spoke, it was the Father doing the work, we should be able to declare that when we do things, Christ does the work within us. For example, we should be able to say that when we go shopping or speak with our spouse, it is Christ who does the work within us. Then we will be able to proclaim, as the apostle Paul did in Galatians 2:20, “It is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me.” If we take Christ as our person instead of endeavoring to be spiritual by our own effort, we will be genuinely spiritual.
