13〔例如,〕关于神,有客观和主观的真理。在客观一面,神是我们的创造者(创一1、26),救赎者(诗七八35),救主(提前二3),牧人(诗二三1),主(路一32),和主人(徒四24)。神作为这一切宝贵的项目,对我们是客观的,因为祂还在我们外面。然而,神也是我们的父(罗一7)。神作我们的父,对我们是主观的,因为祂的生命已经分授到我们里面。在肉身一面我们有父亲的生命,但我们父亲的人位无法进入我们里面;然而,就着属灵的实际说,父神的人位是在我们里面作生命。就这面意义说,我们不仅有父神的生命,也有父神自己在我们里面〔弗四6〕(李常受文集一九七七年第三册,七一、七三至七五页)。 13[For example], concerning God there are the objective and the subjective truths. On the objective side God is our Creator (Gen. 1:1, 26), Redeemer (Psa. 78:35), Savior (1 Tim. 2:3), Shepherd (Psa. 23:1), Lord (Luke 1:32), and Master (Acts 4:24). As all these precious items, God is objective to us because He remains outside of us. However, God is also our Father (Rom. 1:7). God as our Father is subjective to us because His life has been imparted into us. Physically, we have our father’s life, but our father’s person cannot enter into us; however, in the spiritual reality, the person of God the Father is in us as life. In this sense, we have not only God the Father’s life but also God the Father Himself within us [Eph. 4:6]. (CWWL, 1977, vol. 3, pp. 57-59)
