11宇宙有两个原则:一是神权柄的原则,一是撒但背叛的原则。我们不能一面事奉神,一面又走背叛的路,带着背叛的灵。背叛的人虽能讲道,撒但在那里笑,因他里头有撒但的原则。事奉的对面就是权柄。……我们这班事奉神的人,必须要有一次基本的认识。……人若一次碰着神的权柄,给神打倒,以后眼睛就越过越会明亮,……知道谁是不法(倪柝声文集第三辑第一册,一二五至一二六页)。
11There are two principles in the universe—God’s authority and Satan’s rebellion. We cannot serve God on the one hand, while taking the way of rebellion with a spirit of rebellion on the other hand. Although a rebellious person can preach, Satan will laugh, because the principle of Satan is there in the preaching. Service is ever attendant to authority…We who serve God must gain this basic understanding at some time…Once a man meets God’s authority and is smitten by it, his eyes will be enlightened…He will know who is and who is not lawless. (CWWN, vol. 47, “Authority and Submission,” p. 115)
