13那灵圣别我们以得儿子的名分;那灵也生了我们,使我们能从神而生(约三6)。神拣选我们成为圣别,好得着儿子的名分。成为圣别以得儿子的名分,完全是借着那灵、在那灵里并凭着那灵的事。当我看见好些亲爱的圣徒多年在主的恢复里却没有长大,我非常担心。虽然他们聚会、读经、听信息,但他们没有顾到那灵。他们说话时没有顾到那灵,反而随意闲聊、批评别人。他们虽然说自己爱主,爱主的恢复,爱召会生活,却一点也不顾到那灵。这是错误的;我们必须顾到那灵。今天这个与圣别和神儿子名分有密切关系的灵,就在我们灵里(罗八16,林前六17)。我们若愿意顾到那灵,就该先顾到我们的灵(李常受文集一九九三年第二册,六三七、六三三至六三四页)。 13It is the Spirit who sanctifies us unto sonship. It is the Spirit who begets us that we may be born of God (John 3:6). God chose us to be sanctified unto sonship. To be sanctified unto sonship is altogether a matter by the Spirit, in the Spirit, and with the Spirit. I am concerned when I see a number of dear saints who have been in the recovery for many years with no growth. Although they may meet, read the Bible, and listen to the messages, they do not care for the Spirit. Instead of taking care of the Spirit when they speak, they freely gossip and criticize others. Although they say that they love the Lord, love the recovery, and love the church life, they do not care a bit for the Spirit. This is wrong. We have to take care of the Spirit. Today this Spirit, who is wrapped up with sanctification and with God’s sonship, is in our spirit (Rom. 8:16; 1 Cor. 6:17). If we desire to take care of the Spirit, we should first take care of our spirit.
