5路一79 要照亮坐在黑暗中死荫里的人,把我们的脚引到平安的路上。
5Luke 1:79 To shine upon those sitting in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
6弗四18~19 他们在悟性上既然昏暗,就因着那在他们里面的无知,因着他们心里的刚硬,与神的生命隔绝了;他们感觉既然丧尽……。
6Eph. 4:18-19 Being darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance which is in them, because of the hardness of their heart; who, being past feeling…
7无论不信的人多有道德,他们只有人的良心可遵照;而因着人的堕落,良心已大大受了破坏。……他们受破坏的良心不太有作用。即使不信者的良心的确起作用,那也是他们仅有的。
7Regardless of how moral the unbelievers are, they have only the human conscience to go by, and this has been greatly damaged by the fall of man … Their damaged conscience does not work very well. Even if the unbelievers’ conscience did work well, it is the only thing that they have.
8我们信徒不仅有受造的良心,也有得更新的良心。我们的良心,是我们灵的一部分(罗九1,参八16),借着我们灵的重生得了更新。除了这得更新的良心以外,我们还有这五样重大的东西:神圣的生命、神圣生命的律、圣灵、基督和神。因此,不信者受造的良心,和那有三一神这神圣生命内住的信徒得更新的良心,其间是无法比较的(李常受文集一九七九年第一册,七三四至七三五页)。
8We believers have not only a created conscience but also a renewed conscience. Our conscience, as a part of our spirit (Rom. 9:1; cf. 8:16), has been renewed through the regeneration of our spirit. In addition to this renewed conscience we have these five great things: the divine life, the law of the divine life, the Holy Spirit, Christ, and God. Thus, there is no comparison between the created conscience of the unbelievers and the renewed conscience of the believers who are indwelt by the Triune God as the divine life. (CWWL, 1979, vol. 1, “Basic Lessons on Life,” p. 547)

9任何有生命的东西都有感觉。生命越高,感觉就越强。神圣的生命是最强、最高的生命,所以有最丰富、最强、最敏锐的感觉〔弗四18~19〕。……我们基督徒该是一直满了感觉的人。我们不该迟钝或麻木。我们必须富有感觉,满了感觉,因为我们在生命里是活泼而丰富的。这是因为我们有重生的灵,带着更新的良心。我们也有神圣的生命、神圣生命的律、圣灵、基督和神。所以生命的感觉在我们里面是高的、丰富的、强的和敏锐的。
9Anything that has life has feeling. The higher the life is, the stronger the feeling is. The divine life is the strongest and highest life, so it has the richest, strongest, and keenest feeling [cf. Eph. 4:18-19]. We Christians should be persons full of feeling all the time. We should not be dull or numb. We must be very sensitive, full of sensations because we are living and rich in life. This is because we have a regenerated spirit with our conscience renewed. We also have the divine life, the law of this divine life, the Holy Spirit, Christ, and God. Therefore, the sense of life is high, rich, strong, and keen within us.
10我们若活在天然的生命里,感觉就是死的,完全是在消极的一面。……我们若活在神圣的生命里,感觉就是生命的,完全是在积极的一面;于是我们有生命平安的感觉,同其一切积极的点。生命的感觉使我们知道我们是活在天然的生命里,或活在神圣的生命里。生命的感觉引导我们,支配我们,管制我们,并指引我们。……既然我们追求基督作我们的生命,我们就必须顾到这生命的感觉。我们若没有刚强、饱足、平安、安息、释放、活泼、滋润、明亮、舒服等积极的感觉,就必须知道,我们不是活在神圣的生命里;我们就必是活在天然的生命里。……活在天然的生命里是一件事,活在肉体里是另一件事。你也许认为天然的生命和肉体是一样的,但二者仍有一些不同。……绝无良善的肉体。但天然的生命有时候也许是良善的。天然的生命与神圣的生命相对,肉体与灵相对。
10If we are living in the natural life, the sense is of death and is entirely on the negative side…If we are living in the divine life, the sense is of life and is entirely on the positive side. Then we have the feeling of life and peace with all its positive points. The sense of life makes us know whether we are living in the natural life or in the divine life. The sense of life guides us, governs us, controls us, and directs us…Since we are seeking after Christ as our life, we must take care of this sense of life. If we do not have the positive sensations of strength, satisfaction, peace, rest, release, liveliness, watering, brightness, comfort, etc., we must realize that we are not living in the divine life; it must be that we are living in the natural life. To live in the natural life is one thing, and to live in the flesh is another thing. You may consider that these are one, but still there is a little difference…There is no good flesh. But the natural life sometimes may be good. The natural life is versus the divine life, and the flesh is versus the spirit.
11所以,关于生命感觉的功用有两方面。第一方面是让你知道你是否活在神圣的生命里,第二方面是让你知道你是否活在你的灵里。消极地说,生命感觉的功用使你知道你是否活在天然的生命里,作天然的人,也让你知道你是否活在肉体里。……许多时候我们觉得自己是在肉体里生活、行事为人并行动。有时候我们不是那么属肉体,但我们仍然感觉到,我们是在天然的生命里,在我们天然的人里行事为人,而不在神圣的生命里。……我们需要许多祷告,将自己祷告到生命的感觉里。然后我们释放话语就能实际地在交通里,而非仅在教训上。我们的信息会是一种交通,告诉人我们如何经历了这些事,生命的感觉对我们是如何的真实且实际,我们又如何天天在里面这种管制、引导、指引的元素之下(李常受文集一九七九年第一册,七三三、七三五至七三七页)。
11Therefore, there are two aspects concerning the function of the sense of life. The first aspect is to let you know whether you are living in the divine life, and the second aspect is to let you know whether you are living in your spirit. Negatively speaking, it makes you know whether you are living in the natural life, as a natural person, and also whether you are living in the flesh…Many times we have the sense that we are living, walking, and acting in the flesh. Sometimes we are not that fleshly, but still we have the sense that we are walking in our natural life, in our natural man, not in the divine life. We need much prayer to pray ourselves into the sense of life. Then we can give a word not merely in teaching but practically in fellowship. Our message will be a kind of fellowship, telling people how we have experienced these things, how the sense of life is so real and practical to us, and how we are under this kind of controlling, guiding, directing element within us day by day.

今日要点
13主题:跟随生命的感觉,而活在神国的实际里
13
14引经:路一79弗四18~19
14
151.认识生命感觉的两面功用:
15
16A.任何有生命的东西都有感觉,生命越高,感觉就越强、越敏锐,神圣的生命是宇宙中最强、最高的生命,所以有最丰富、最强、最敏锐的感觉,今天我们重生,得着神圣的生命,我们有重生的灵,带着更新的良心,让生命之律规律我们,因此,我们基督徒应该是一直满了感觉的人,不该迟钝或麻木,必须富有感觉,满了感觉,在生命里是活泼且丰富的。
16
17B.生命感觉的功用有两方面,第一方面是让你知道你是否活在神圣的生命里,第二方面是让你知道你是否活在你的灵里,消极的说,生命感觉的功用使你知道你是否活在天然的生命里,作天然的人,也让你知道你是否活在肉体里,我们要操练留在生命的感觉里,这对我们是真实且实际,我们要操练天天活在这感觉的管制、引导、指引的元素之下。
17
182.受生命感觉的引导、支配、管制并指引:
18
19a.在弗四18~19说,『他们在悟性上既然昏暗,就因着那在他们里面的无知,因着他们心里的刚硬,与神的生命隔绝了;他们感觉既然丧尽』,这里的感觉主要就是指人良心的感觉,这指出,不信者与神的生命隔绝分离,良心的感觉丧尽,不顾良心的感觉,也无法认识神的国。
19
20b. 因此,从这些周三和周四的经文可见,生命的感觉不仅使我们感觉死或平安,也使我们知道我们是活在天然的生命里,或活在神圣的生命里,也使我们知道我们是活在肉体里,或活在灵里,路一79下半说,『把我们的脚引到平安的路上』,这说出生命的感觉要引导我们,支配我们,管制我们,并指引我们。应用:我们的生活不该安排太满,不该匆忙追赶,而该给主空间和时间,使我们建立每天定时接受主分赐的生活,使我们能作敞开的器皿,借着神圣三一的神圣分赐,而跟随里面生命的感觉。
