8弗三17 使基督借着信,安家在你们心里,叫你们在爱里生根立基。
8Eph. 3:17 That Christ may make His home in your hearts through faith, that you, being rooted and grounded in love.
9林前二16 谁曾知道主的心思能教导祂?但我们是有基督的心思了。
91 Cor. 2:16 For who has known the mind of the Lord and will instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ.
10腓二5 你们里面要思念基督耶稣里面所思念的。
10Phil. 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.
11按照以弗所一章,我们需要经历神在基督身上所运行的能力;按照三章,我们需要以基督作我们的人位。后者启示于十七节,那里说,“使基督……安家在你们心里。”正如一个人渴望有一个家,基督也渴望安家在我们心里。渴望安家在我们心里的基督,乃是一个人位。让基督安家在我们心里,就是让祂在我们里面定居。譬如,你可能被邀请到一位弟兄家里,但是你不能安家在那里,因为你在那里是作客。……你……没有自由或权利完全定居在那里。同样的原则,基督是在我们里面,但祂也许不能安家在我们里面,因为祂在我们心里仅仅是客人,而不是主人;我们的心是我们的家,却不是祂的家(李常受文集一九七一年第一册,三八四页)。
11According to Ephesians 1, we need to experience the power that God caused to operate in Christ, and according to Ephesians 3, we need to take Christ as our person. The latter is revealed in verse 17, which says, “That Christ may make His home in your hearts.” Just as a person desires a home, Christ desires to make His home in our hearts. The Christ who desires to make His home in our hearts is a person. For Christ to make His home in our hearts is for Him to settle down in us. For example, you may be invited to a brother’s house, but you are unable to make your home there, because you are there as a guest…You do not have the liberty or the right to fully settle down there. In the same principle, Christ is in us, but He may not be able to make His home in us because He is merely a guest in our heart, not the host; our heart may be our home, not His home. (CWWL, 1971, vol. 1, pp. 276-277)

12新约启示基督是在我们灵里(加六18腓四23门25)。提后四章二十二节特别说,“主与你的灵同在。”然而以弗所三章说,基督渴望安家在我们心里。我们的心是由良心,就是我们灵的领头部分,以及魂的所有部分,就是我们的心思、情感和意志所组成。基督虽然在我们的灵里,却可能没有扩展到我们心的所有部分,因为我们没有给祂完全的自由扩展到我们的心思、情感和意志里。结果,我们把基督监禁在我们的灵里。当我们把心思置于肉体的事上(罗八5),主就想要重新引导我们的思想。然而,我们可能叫祂留在我们的灵里,不要进到我们的心思里来搅扰我们。……如果基督告诉我们不要买某些东西,我们可能把祂局限在灵里,而不让祂进到我们的心思里。如果我们不让基督来摸我们的心思、情感和意志,祂虽然是在我们灵里,却不能安家在我们心里。
12The New Testament reveals that Christ is in our spirit (Gal. 6:18; Phil. 4:23; Philem. 25). Specifically, 2 Timothy 4:22 says, “The Lord be with your spirit.” Yet Ephesians 3 says that Christ desires to make His home in our heart. Our heart is composed of the conscience, the leading part of our spirit, and all the parts of our soul—our mind, emotion, and will. Although Christ is in our spirit, He may not have spread into all the parts of our heart, because we have not given Him the full liberty to spread into our mind, emotion, and will. As a result, we imprison Christ in our spirit. When we set our mind on the things of the flesh (Rom. 8:5), the Lord wants to redirect our thoughts. We, however, may tell Him to stay in our spirit and not to come into our mind to bother us…If Christ tells us not to buy certain items, we may limit Him to our spirit and not allow Him to enter into our mind. If we do not allow Christ to touch our mind, emotion, and will, although He is in our spirit, He will not be able to make His home in our heart.
13我们要让基督安家在我们里面,就需要得加强到我们里面的人,就是我们重生的灵里。在许多信徒的心里,基督只能在很小的程度上安家,因为这些信徒的心思、情感和意志很强,灵却很弱。譬如,一个信徒可能意志非常强,他一旦作了一个决定,就不会让基督改变那个决定。他也可能灵很弱;因此,基督不能在他里面扩展,反而被限制在他的灵里。我们要得加强到我们里面的人里,就需要呼求主的名,承认我们的罪,求主赦免我们的失败,并用祂的宝血洗净我们(约壹一79)。我们越呼求主的名,就越被祂充满并得加强到里面的人里(罗十12~13)。当我们得加强到里面的人里,主就从我们的灵扩展到我们心的每一部分,浸透我们的心思,充满我们的情感,并以祂自己占有我们的意志。结果,祂就要接管我们整个里面的所是,并完全定居在我们里面,因而安家在我们心里。
13In order to let Christ settle down in us, we need to be strengthened into our inner man, our regenerated spirit. In the hearts of many believers, Christ has made His home only to a small extent because those believers are strong in their mind, emotion, and will but weak in their spirit. For example, a believer may be so strong in his will that if he makes a certain decision, he will not allow Christ to change that decision. He may also be very weak in his spirit; therefore, Christ is unable to spread within him and is confined to his spirit. In order for us to be strengthened into our inner man, we need to call on the name of the Lord, confess our sins, and ask Him to forgive us of our failures and cleanse us with His precious blood (1 John 1:7, 9). The more we call on the name of the Lord, the more we will be filled with Him and the more we will be strengthened into our inner man (Rom. 10:12-13). When we are strengthened into our inner man, the Lord will spread from our spirit into every part of our heart, saturating our mind, filling our emotion, and occupying our will with Himself. As a result, He will take over our entire inner being and fully settle down in us and thus make His home in our heart.
14当基督安家在我们心里,我们就充分地以祂作我们的人位。祂的心思要成为我们的心思,祂的情感要成为我们的情感,并且祂的意志要成为我们的意志。基督自己要成为我们的心思、情感和意志;祂要成为我们的一切,也要实际地成为我们的人位。然后我们的生活将是基督在我们里面工作的结果。这样就不再是我们活着,乃是基督在我们里面活着(加二20)(李常受文集一九七一年第一册,三八四至三八六页)。
14When Christ makes His home in our heart, we will take Him as our person in an adequate way. His mind will become our mind, His emotion will become our emotion, and His will will become our will. Christ Himself will become our mind, emotion, and will; He will become everything to us and will be our person in reality. Then our living will be the issue of Christ working within us. Consequently, it will no longer be we who live but Christ who lives in us (Gal. 2:20). (CWWL, 1971, vol. 1, pp. 277-278)
