2第三篇 对付我们的心,使我们里面神圣生命的种子长大,以致我们在生命上达到成熟,为着在生命里神的建造
2
3贰 我们在生命里长大,就建造作基督身体的召会,这建造是借着我们心里基督这生命种子的长大而进行的(约壹三9彼前一23西二19弗二21四15~16太十三18~23);我们必须与主合作对付我们的心,使我们的心能蒙保守,有以下四个特征:
3
4一 神是要我们的心软:
4
51 神对付我们的心,乃是从我们的肉体中除掉石心,赐给我们肉心,就是柔软的心——结三六26
5
62 心软就是心志向着主是折服的,是柔顺的,没有强项,没有悖逆——参出三二9
6
73 柔软的心乃是好土,基督能在其中自由地长大;柔软的心乃是没有被属世的交通往来所硬化的心,不为自己寻求什么,也没有今世的思虑和钱财的迷惑——太十三3~918~23
7
84 神是用祂的爱来感动,使我们的心软;若是爱感不动,神就用祂的手借着环境来管教我们,直到我们的心软下来—林后五14四16~18来十二6~7,参耶四八11
8
9二 神是要我们的心清:
9
101 心清就是心爱神、要神,除神以外,别无爱慕、倾向或想望——太五8诗七三25,参耶三二39
10
112 我们的心应当单一地要神,好叫我们不怕别的,只怕得罪神,失去祂的同在——诗八六11赛十一1~2
11
123 清心是目的专一,要完成神的旨意荣耀神;我们的目标应当是最完满地享受并赢得基督——腓三7~14
12
134 我们必须“同那清心呼求主的人〞追求基督——提后二22提前一5诗七三1

14结三六26 “我也要赐给你们新心,将新灵放在你们里面;又从你们的肉体中除掉石心,赐给你们肉心。”
14Ezek. 36:26 I will also give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you; and I will take away the heart of stone out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh.
15太十三8 “但有的落在好土里,就结果实,有的一百倍,有的六十倍,有的三十倍。”
15Matt. 13:8 But others fell on the good earth and yielded fruit, one a hundredfold, and one sixtyfold, and one thirtyfold.
16〔马太十三章八节的〕好土象征好的心,没有为属世的交通往来所硬化,没有隐藏的罪,也没有今世的思虑和钱财的迷惑。这样的心让出每一寸的地土,接受主的话,使主的话可以长大,结出果实,甚至结了百倍。(23。)(圣经恢复本,太十三8注1。)
16The good earth [in Matthew 13:8] signifies the good heart that is not hardened by worldly traffic, that is without hidden sins, and that is without the anxiety of the age and the deceitfulness of riches. Such a heart gives every inch of its ground to receive the word that the word may grow, bear fruit, and produce even a hundredfold (v. 23). (Matt. 13:8, footnote 1)

17心与生命既有这样重要的关系,所以神为要叫祂的生命能从我们里面律出去,就不得不来对付我们的心。我们的心向着神总不外有四大问题,就是:不软,不清,不爱,不安。不软,是心志的问题;不清,不只是心思的问题,也是心情的问题;不爱,就只是心情的问题;而不安,乃是良心的问题。…神…来对付这四方面,叫我们的心能软,能清,能爱,能安。
17Since the heart is so vitally related to life, God has no other alternative but to deal with our heart so that His life might be regulated out from us. Toward God, our heart has four great problems: hardness, impurity, unlovingness, and unpeacefulness. Hardness is a matter of the will, impurity is a matter not only of the mind but also of the emotion, unlovingness is a matter of the emotion, and unpeacefulness is a matter of the conscience…[God] deals with these four aspects so that our heart may be soft, pure, loving, and at peace.
18第一,神是要我们的心软。心软就是心志向神是折服的,是柔顺的,没有强项,没有悖逆。神来对付我们的心,使我们的心能软,乃是除掉我们的石心,赐给我们肉心,(结三六26,)就是把我们刚硬的石心,软化成柔软的肉心。
18First, God wants our heart to be soft. To be soft means that the will of the heart toward God is submissive and yielding, not stiff-necked and rebellious. When God deals with our heart so that our heart is soft, He takes away the heart of stone out of our flesh and gives us a heart of flesh (Ezek. 36:26). This means that He softens our hard, stony heart so that it becomes a soft heart of flesh.
19当我们刚得救的时候,心总是软下来的。但有的人过些时候心又回头刚硬起来,不顺服主,甚至也不怕主,在主面前就又落下去了。所以我们的心什么时候硬了,我们什么时候就在神面前出了问题。我们在神面前属灵生活的光景要对,必须心一直不硬,一直软化才可以。…怕得罪神…是应该的。天不要怕,地也不要怕,就是要怕得罪神。要把我们的心对付到这样软,才可以。可惜有的弟兄姊妹,在许多事上都是软的,就是一提到神和神的旨意,就硬起来了。…也有的弟兄姊妹,对什么事都是硬的,可是一提到神和神的旨意,他就软了。这样才是一个心软的人。我们要求神使我们的心能这样软。
19When we are newly saved, the heart is always softened. But after a certain time the heart of some turns back and becomes hard again. Not being submissive to the Lord and not even fearing the Lord, they gradually fall away from the Lord’s presence. Whenever our heart is hardened, we have a problem before God. If we desire the condition of our spiritual living before God to be right, our heart must not be hardened; on the contrary, it must be continually softened…We ought to be fearful of offending God. Fear not heaven, and fear not earth; only fear to offend God. Our heart must be dealt with until it is soft to this extent; then it is all right. It is indeed sad that many brothers and sisters are soft in many things; yet as soon as God and the will of God are mentioned, they become very hard…There are also brothers and sisters who are hard toward everything; yet when God and the will of God are mentioned, they become soft. Such people have soft hearts. We should ask God to make our heart soft like this.
20神怎样使我们的心软,怎样软化我们的心?有时是用祂的爱来感动我们,有时是用祂的管教来击打我们。神常是先用祂的爱来感动,若是爱感不动,就用祂的手借着环境来击打,直到我们的心软下来。我们的心一软下来,祂的生命就能在我们里面运行了。
20How does God make our heart soft? How does He soften our heart? Sometimes He uses His love to move us, and sometimes He uses chastisement to strike us. God often uses His love first to move us; if love cannot move us, He uses His hand through the environment to strike us until our heart is softened. Once our heart is softened, His life can work within us.
21第二,神是要我们的心清。心清就是心思专一的思念神,也是心情向着神纯一不杂,(参林后十一3,)只爱神、要神,除神以外,别无爱慕、倾向或想望。马太五章八节说,“清心的人…必看见神。”所以心若不清,就不得看见神。只要我们的心思有一点思念在神之外的事物,或是我们的心情有一点爱慕在神之外的东西,我们的心就不清了,我们灵里的生命也就因此受了阻碍。所以我们必须“同那清心呼求主的人”追求基督,(提后二22,)作一个清心爱主、要神的人,才能让神的生命在我们里面自由运行。(李常受文集一九五三年第三册,一四七至一四九页。)
21Second, God wants our heart to be pure. A pure heart means a heart that sets its mind specifically on God. It is also a heart in which the emotion is exceedingly pure and simple toward God. (See 2 Cor. 11:3.) It only loves God and wants God; besides God, it has no other love, inclination, or desire. Matthew 5:8 says, “The pure in heart…shall see God.” Thus, if the heart is not pure, we cannot see God. If our thought is a little concerned with things outside of God, or if our emotion has a little love toward things outside of God, our heart is no longer pure; the life in our spirit is also hindered because of this. Therefore, we must pursue “with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart” (2 Tim. 2:22), and be those who love the Lord and want God with a pure heart; then we can let the life of God work freely within us.

今日要点
23主题:操练心软、心清,而使神圣生命长大
23
24引经:结三六26太十三8
24
251.要结实,不要结石:
25
26A. 若我们对付心,结果就会在生命里长大,就建造作基督身体的召会,这建造乃是借着我们心里基督这生命种子的长大而进行的,为此,我们必须与主合作,对付我们的心,使我们的心能蒙保守,有以下四个特征:心软、心清、心爱、心安。
26
27B. 这四个特征与心的四部分相关;首先,心软就是意志向主折服,柔顺不悖逆,结三六26指出,神要除去我们的石心,赐给我们一个新的心,就是肉心,这也就是太十三8好土所表征的好心,没有被属世的交通往来所硬化,能够让主话的种子长大结实。
27
282.操练心清,为着完成神的旨意:
28
29A. 我们必须与主合作,对付我们的心,使我们的心能蒙保守,有第二个特征:清心不是寡欲,心清,英文的意思是pure heart,就是心思专一的思念神,心情向着神纯一不杂,只爱神,要神,除神以外,别无爱慕、倾向或想望。
29
30B.我们要清心,就需要目的专一,要完成神的旨意荣耀神,思念同一件事,就是以最完满的享受基督、赢得基督作为我们基督徒生活和召会生活的目标。
30
31应用:我们要同那清心呼求主名的人,追求基督,作一个清心爱主、要主的人,渴慕在凡事上都遇见主,这样才能让神的生命在我们里面自由运行。
