1总题:享受基督与在生命里长大以至成熟
1
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
3叁 我们需要看见神的生命在我们心里所遇到的难处:
3
4一 神的生命在我们里面所遇到的第一个难处,就是我们不认识我们人的观念乃是黑暗的——林后三14四4
4
51 我们需要看见,活的基督在我们里面,我们怎样对待祂,是基督徒生活中唯一值得关切的事——加一16二20四19腓一19~21林后三18
5
62 作基督徒就是不以基督以外的任何事物为标的;许多人得救后,所以有属灵生命上的难处,都是因为他们不认识生命的道路,不以基督作生命——罗八6
6
7二 生命在我们里面所遇到的第二个难处,就是假冒——太六25七5二三13~29
7
81 一个人是否属灵,不在于外面的表现,乃在于他如何对待内住的基督。
8
92 我们天然的良善乃是假冒的属灵,这是生命的一个大难处;生命的彰显就是不理睬我们的天性,不管我们的爱好,简单地让基督在我们里面运行,破碎我们。
9
103 若是我们凡事都凭天性、天然去作,其结果无论是什么都是假冒。

11腓一21 “因为在我,活着就是基督,死了就有益处。”
11Phil. 1:21 For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.
12加二20 “我已经与基督同钉十字架;现在活着的,不再是我,乃是基督在我里面活着;并且我如今在肉身里所活的生命,是我在神儿子的信里,与祂联结所活的,祂是爱我,为我舍了自己。”
12Gal. 2:20 I am crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.
13我们要来看,神的生命在我们里面所遇到的难处。…在我们身上所有好的也罢,坏的也罢;赞成的也罢,不赞成的也罢,可以说,没有一处不是神生命的难处。
13We need to see the obstacles that God’s life encounters in us…Everything we have, whether good or bad, approved or disapproved, can be an obstacle for God’s life.
14我们中间无论是聪明的,或是愚拙的;是受过高等教育的,或没有受高等教育的,我们里面的观念,都是在黑暗里,叫我们不能认识生命,认识基督。…神的生命在我们里面所遇到的第一个难处,就是我们不认识我们人的观念乃是黑暗的。我们不领会我们的观念,在我们看好像是正大光明的,实在说来,却是满了黑暗、无生命的。
14It does not matter whether we are wise or foolish, whether we are highly educated or uneducated, all our human concepts are in darkness,…and they keep us from knowing Christ as life in us…The first problem that God’s life encounters in us is that we do not realize the darkness of our human concepts. We do not realize that our concepts, even though they seem proper and upright, are actually full of darkness and without life.
15你得救时,接受了一位活的基督,祂在你里面作了你的生命。…这位活的基督在你里面,你怎样对待祂,才是值得关切的。(李常受文集一九五三年第一册,一六八至一六九、一七一至一七二页。)
15The day we were saved, we received a living Christ, who became our life in us…The only thing that matters is how we take care of the living Christ in us. (CWWL, 1953, vol. 1, “Knowing Life and the Church,” pp. 131-133)
信息选读
Today’s Reading
16我们得救以后,都有一个要作好的观念。…好比我们昨天晚上刚刚受浸,就有个观念要大发热心,广传福音。然而今天早晨,我们祷告神,与神交通时,这位活的基督在你我里面,把我们摸了一下;祂在你我里面,不断地运行,把我们里面推动了起来,结果故事就来了。…祂不停地运行,使我们看见,从前〔错待〕妻子,或责怪丈夫,埋怨别人,是不合宜的,应当去向他们认罪。…这就是基督在我们里面的故事。当我们祷告时,这位活的基督,在我们里面动一动,摸一摸,就要我们去向那些我们曾经得罪过的人认罪。
16After we are saved, the concept of trying to be good is within all of us… As soon as we are baptized, we typically think that we should be zealous and preach the gospel. However, when we pray and fellowship with God in the morning, the living Christ in us may touch us in a different way according to His constant operation and move in us. Then things truly begin to happen in us. For example, as He operates in us, we will see that some things we may have done in the past are inappropriate, such as [mistreating] our wives, blaming our husbands, and complaining about others. We will even have a sense that we should apologize…This is what Christ is doing in us. When we pray, the living Christ will move in us and touch us to apologize to those whom we have offended.
17生命在我们里面所遇到的第二个难处,就是假冒。…一个人是否属灵,不在于外面的表现,乃在于他如何对待基督。…假冒〔的属灵〕,是生命的一个大难处。…有一些人,生性温柔、谦让,与人无争,体贴人,肯为人落泪,同情人,愿为人舍己。他们有这许多的长处、美德;等到他们作了基督徒后,这些生性的美德也带进来了。他们以为这些就是生命,就是基督徒该有的。…以道德来说,那是该有的;以生命来说,那都是假冒的。…生命就是神自己,生命就是基督,生命就是圣灵。凡不是神、基督、圣灵的,就不是生命。…只有…基督从你里面出来,那个才是生命。
17The second problem that life encounters in us is hypocrisy…A person’s spirituality is not determined by outward appearance but by how he takes care of Christ. [A] spirituality [that] is false…is actually a great hindrance to life. Some people may be naturally gentle, modest, uncontentious, caring, willing to shed tears for others, sympathetic, and self-sacrificing. They have many good points and virtues. After they become Christians, they bring these natural virtues into the church. They think that these virtues are of life and that Christians should have them…From the point of view of morality, people should have these virtues, but from the point of view of life, these virtues are false. Life is God Himself, life is Christ, and life is the Holy Spirit. Anything that is not of God, Christ, or the Holy Spirit is not life…Life involves only the expression of Christ Himself out of us.
18有些人〔从来不发脾气〕,你要他们发脾气,还真是难。要人不发脾气不容易,要人发脾气也不容易;因为那就是那个人的生性,生性总是难改的。然而,当基督在他们里面运行,感动他们,要他们说几句真话,说几句厉害的话时,他们若是肯反着自己,顺从里面的感觉说真话,那就是生命从他们里面出来了。
18Some people are born with a disposition that does not lose its temper even when others try hard to make them lose their temper. It is difficult for some people not to lose their temper, but for others it is difficult for them to lose their temper. This is due to their disposition, and their disposition cannot be changed easily. Nonetheless, when Christ operates and moves in them, urging them to speak some frank, strong words, life will be expressed if they go against their disposition and obey the inner feeling to speak a frank word.
19所以,…生命…就是不理睬你的天性,不管你的爱好,简单地让基督在你里面运行,破碎你自己;这时,你凭着基督在你里面的运行所作的,就是生命。若是你凡事都凭天性、天然去作,其结果无论是什么都是假冒。(李常受文集一九五三年第一册,一七二、一七五至一七八页。)
19Thus, the expression of life involves the rejection of our natural disposition and preference and simply allowing Christ to operate in us and break us. Then our actions through the inner operation of Christ will be of life. If we always do things according to our disposition and natural being, the outcome will always be hypocrisy. (CWWL, 1953, vol. 1, “Knowing Life and the Church,” pp. 133138)

今日要点
21主题:对付黑暗的观念与假冒这两大难处,而使神圣生命长大成熟
21
22引经:腓一21加二20
22
231.对付黑暗的观念:
23
24A. 我们需要看见神的生命在我们心里所遇到的难处,好使我们得着光照,在客观的一面,第一个难处乃是黑暗的观念,无论我们是聪明或愚拙,是受过教育与否,里面的观念,都是在黑暗里的,叫我们不能认识生命,认识基督。
24
25B.我们得救时接受了一位活得基督,祂在我们里面作生命,我们怎么对待祂,在于我们是否活在黑暗的观念里,在腓一21加二20看见,保罗不活自己,他操练活这位基督,以祂为生命,基督该成为我们里面的故事。
25
262.对付假冒的难处:
26
27A. 我们需要看见神的生命在我们心里所遇到客观的第二个难处,就是假冒,一个人是否属灵,不在于外面的表现,乃在于他如何对待里面内住的基督,例如我们天然的良善,就不是真属灵,而是假冒的属灵,这乃是生命的一大难处。
27
28B.我们若要彰显这生命,就不该理睬我们的天性,不管我们的爱好,简单的让基督在我们里面运行,破碎我们,若我们凡事都凭天性、天然去作,其结果无论是什么都不是基督,都是假冒。
28
29应用:从作好基督徒的观念出来,不要想用自己的努力为神作这作那,反而要更多在灵里接受主作生命,好使我们活在光中,顺着里面的感觉来生活行动。
