15我们都在人类的历史里出生,却在神圣的历史里重生。……我们若活在这个世界,就是活在人类的历史里。但我们若活在召会中,就是活在神圣的历史里。……现在这两方—神和我们—有同一个历史,就是神圣的历史。这就是召会生活(约珥书生命读经,二四九至二五一、二三一、二五二页)。
15We all were born in the human history, but we have been reborn, regenerated, in the divine history…If our living is in the world, we are living in the human history. But if we are living in the church, we are living in the divine history…Now two parties—God and we—have one history, the divine history. This is the church life. (Life-study of Joel, pp. 34-35, 1819, 36)
