纲目
1贰 神和祂的子民要成为一,二者之间就必须有相互的爱;圣经中所揭示神与祂子民之间的爱,主要的是像男女之间情深的爱——约十四2123耶二2三一3
1
2一 当神的子民爱神、花时间在祂的话上与祂交通时,神就将祂的神圣元素注入他们里面,使他们与祂成为一,作祂的配偶,在生命、性情和彰显上,与祂一样——诗一一九14015~16
2
3二 神先爱我们,将祂的爱注入我们里面,并且在我们里面产生出爱来,使我们能用这爱爱神,并爱众弟兄——约壹四19~21
3
4三 我们从神所接受的生命乃是爱的生命;基督曾在这世上活出神就是爱的生活,如今祂是我们的生命,使我们能在这世上活出同样爱的生活,与祂所是的一样——三14五1二5~6四17
4
5四 我们天然的爱必须放在十字架上;神的爱与我们天然的爱有一个分别,就是天然的爱很容易被冒犯。
5
6五 我们必须是被基督的爱冲没并冲激的人;神圣的爱该像大水澎湃冲向我们,迫使我们情不自禁地向祂活着——林后五14
6
7六 弟兄相爱是旧诫命,也是新诫命:是旧诫命,乃因信徒从基督徒生活的开始就有了;是新诫命,乃因在基督徒的行事为人上,这诫命一再露出新的曙光,一再以新的亮光及新鲜的能力照耀——约壹二7~8三1123,参约十三34
7
8七 基督的身体在爱里把自己建造起来,成为基督的新妇;(弗四16;)神赐给我们的灵,就是蒙了重生的灵,乃是爱的灵;我们需要有一个火热的爱的灵,以征服今日召会的堕落。(提后一7。)
8
9八 “知识是叫人自高自大,唯有爱建造人;”(林前八1下,参林后三6;)彼此相爱是我们属于基督的表记;(约十三34~35;)在召会中间好为首,乃与爱众弟兄相对。(约叁9。)
9
10九 正如主耶稣舍了祂的魂生命,使我们能得着神圣的生命,我们为着预备基督的新妇在实行身体的生活时,也需要舍去我们的魂生命并否认己,以爱弟兄并将生命供应给他们——约壹三16四17与注5,约十1117~18十五13弗四29五2林后十二15罗十二9~13
10
11十 为着建造召会作基督生机的身体,在我们的所是和所作上,爱乃是极超越的路——林前十二31下十三8上

12约壹四21 爱神的,也当爱他的弟兄,这是我们从祂所受的诫命。
121 John 4:21 And this commandment we have from Him, that he who loves God love his brother also.
13林后五14 原来基督的爱困迫我们,因我们断定:一人既替众人死,众人就都死了。
132 Cor. 5:14 For the love of Christ constrains us because we have judged this, that One died for all, therefore all died.
14我们是神的种类,因为我们已经从神而生,有祂的生命和性情(约一12~13)。我们已经重生,成为神的种类,就是神类,而神乃是爱。我们既在生命和性情上成了神,就应当也有爱。……我们既是神的种类,就应当是爱,因为祂就是爱。……神不要我们用我们天然的爱来爱人,乃要我们以祂作我们的爱。神按着祂的形像造人(创一26),意思是说,祂乃是照着祂的所是造人。……照圣经中的启示来看,神的第一个属性是爱。……虽然受造的人没有爱的实际,但在这受造的人里面,有一个东西,叫他愿意去爱人。……但那只是人的美德,是神爱的属性的彰显。当我们重生时,神就把祂自己这爱灌注到我们里面。我们爱祂,因为祂先爱我们〔约壹四819〕;是祂引进了这爱(李常受文集一九九四至一九九七年第五册,一六三至一六四页)。
14We are God’s species because we have been born of Him to have His life and nature (John 1:12-13). We have been regenerated to be God’s species, God’s kind, and God is love. Since we become God in His life and nature, we also should be love…As His species, we should be love because He is love. God does not want us to love with our natural love but with Him as our love. God created man in His image (Gen. 1:26), which means that He created man according to what He is…According to the revelation in the Holy Scriptures, God’s first attribute is love…Although created man does not have the reality of love, there is something in his created being that wants to love others…But that is just a human virtue, the very expression of the divine attribute of love. When we were regenerated, God infused us with Himself as love. We love Him because He first loved us [1 John 4:8, 19]. He initiated this love. (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 5, “The Vital Groups,” p. 121)
信息选读
Today’s Reading
15神预定我们得神圣的儿子名分,乃是受神圣之爱的推动。……神乃是在爱里预定我们得儿子的名分〔弗一4~5〕。约翰三章十六节说,神爱世人。祂是在创立世界以前,就爱了我们。
15God’s predestination of us unto the divine sonship was motivated by the divine love…God predestinated us unto son-ship in love [Eph. 1:4-5]. John 3:16 says that God so loved the world. He loved us before the foundation of the world.
16神将祂的独生子赐给我们,使我们在法理一面借着祂的死得救,不至灭亡,并在生机一面在祂的复活中得着永远的生命,乃是受神圣之爱的推动(16,约壹四9~10)。……约壹四章十节说,神差祂的儿子到我们这里来,为我们的罪作了平息的祭物;这是在法理上借着祂的死完成的。九节说,神差祂的儿子到我们这里来,使我们借着祂得生并活着;这是在生机上在祂的复活中完成的。约翰三章十六节应该与约壹四章九至十节同读。……神的爱是基督之恩的源头,这恩借着灵的交通,分赐给我们(林后十三14)。这是为使我们享受经过过程并终极完成的三一神。
16God’s giving of His only begotten Son to us that we may be saved from perdition judicially through His death and have the eternal life organically in His resurrection was motivated by the divine love (3:16; 1 John 4:9-10)…First John 4:10 says that God sent His Son to us as a propitiation for our sins. This is judicial through His death. Verse 9 says that God sent His Son to us that we may have life and live through Him. This is organic in His resurrection. John 3:16 should be read with 1 John 4:9-10. God’s love is the source of the grace of Christ dispensed to us through the fellowship of the Spirit (2 Cor. 13:14). This is for us to enjoy the processed and consummated Triune God.
17神的爱激励我们这些祂的儿女爱我们的仇敌,使我们能完全,像祂一样;祂爱那成了祂仇敌的堕落人类,叫祂的日头(表征基督)上升,一无分别地照恶人,也照好人,并且同样地降雨(表征那灵)给义人,也给不义的人;这样,我们就可以作天父的儿子,从税吏和外邦人中被圣别出来(太五43~48)。整个人类成了神的仇敌,但神仍然爱人类。神差基督到我们这里,若对人有所分别,我们就不会有资格得着祂的救恩。祂叫祂的日头上升,一无分别地先照恶人,也照好人。
17God’s love motivates us, His children, to love our enemies that we may be perfect as He is; He loves the fallen human race, who became His enemies, by causing His sun (signifying Christ) to rise on the evil and the good indiscriminately and sending rain (signifying the Spirit) on the just and the unjust equally; thus, we may become the sons of the heavenly Father who are sanctified from the tax collectors and the Gentiles (Matt. 5:43-48). The entire human race became His enemies, but God still loves the human race. If God sent Christ to us with discrimination, we would be disqualified from receiving His salvation. He causes His sun to rise first on the evil and then on the good without discrimination.
18我们在爱别人的事上,应当像神一样。……主说,“你们若爱那爱你们的人,有什么赏赐?税吏不也是这样行么?”(46)我们若只爱那爱我们的人,我们就是和税吏属于同一种类。但我们是属于超越、神圣的种类,所以我们爱恶人,就是我们的仇敌,也爱好人。这给我们看见,神这爱是何等地有效能。……我们的活力排是否有效能,可由我们一无分别地爱人得着证实。……当基督钉在十字架上时,有两个强盗与祂同钉(二七38)。其中有一个强盗说,“耶稣啊,你来进入你国的时候,求你记念我。”(路二三42)耶稣对他说,“我实在告诉你,今日你要同我在乐园里了。”(43)基督借着钉十字架而拯救的第一个人,不是一个上流人,乃是一个犯人,一个判处死刑的强盗。
18We should be like God in our love for others…The Lord said, “If you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?” (v. 46). If we love only those who love us, we are of the same species as the tax collectors. But we are of the super, divine species, so we love the evil ones, our enemies, as well as the good ones. This shows how God as love prevails. A proof that our vital group is prevailing is that we love people without any discrimination…While Christ was being crucified on the cross, two robbers were crucified with Him (27:38). One of them said, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom” (Luke 23:42). Jesus said to him, “Truly I say to you, Today you shall be with Me in Paradise” (v. 43). The first one saved by Christ through His crucifixion was not a gentleman but a criminal, a robber, sentenced to death.
19没有爱的教训会使我们自高自大。我们可能听了职事的信息,只得了一些知识,就自高自大;这并不建造人。唯有爱建造人(李常受文集一九九四至一九九七年第五册,一六四至一六六页)。
19Teaching without love may puff us up [1 Cor. 8:1b]. We may listen to the messages of the ministry and become puffed up with mere knowledge. This does not build up. Love builds up. (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 5, “The Vital Groups,” pp. 121-123)

今日要点
21主题:召会作为新妇被建造起来,乃是一件爱的事
21
22
231.召会作为新妇,是一件爱的事:
23
24a.召会作为身体,是一件生命的事,而召会作为新妇,完全是一件爱的事,神和祂的子民要成为一,二者之间就必须有相互的爱,圣经中所揭示神与祂子民之间的爱,主要的是像男女之间情深的爱,因此,当神的子民爱神、花时间在祂的话上与祂交通时,神就将祂的神圣元素注入他们里面,使他们与祂成为一,作祂的配偶,在生命、性情和彰显上,与祂一样。
24
25b.我们需要看见,我们天然的生命,虽然有爱人的倾向,却没有爱的实际,无法凭我们天然的生命、天然的爱爱神,或爱弟兄,乃是神先爱我们,将祂的爱注入我们里面,并且在我们里面产生出爱来,使我们能用这爱爱神,并爱众弟兄,约壹四21说,『爱神的,也当爱他的弟兄,这是我们从祂所受的诫命』。
25
262.爱神并爱弟兄,使新妇被建造:
26
27a.我们从神接受的生命乃是爱的生命,基督曾在这世上活出神就是爱的生活,如今祂是我们的生命,使我们能在这世上活出同样爱的生活,与祂所是的一样,而我们该如何对待我们天然的爱呢?我们必须将天然的爱放在十字架上。
27
28B.林后五14说,『原来基督的爱困迫我们,因我们断定:一人既替众人死,众人就都死了』,当我们被基督的爱冲没并冲激,澎湃地冲向我们,就迫使我们情不自禁向祂活着,借着这爱爱神并弟兄,这样,基督的身体就在爱里把自己建造起来,成为基督的新妇,这需要我们像主舍命一样,舍去我们魂生命并否认己,以爱弟兄并将生命供应他们。
28
29应用:我们的爱残缺又有限,为此我们需要跟主祷告说,主啊,我爱不来,我需要你的爱浇灌在我的心里,使我受神圣之爱的推动,能够爱你并爱弟兄,使身体在爱里被建造,使新妇得以建造起来。
