21在〔诗篇四十五篇〕里,王后有两件衣服(13~14):一件相当于客观的义,使我们得救;另一件相当于主观的义,使我们得胜。后者等于马太二十二章十一至十二节里的婚筵礼服。诗篇四十五篇的王后表征召会,她的第一件衣服是用金线交织成的,第二件是刺绣的衣服。在圣经里,金表征神的性情。在我们得救的时候,我们接受了一件金的衣服,使我们能到神面前。除此之外,我们还需要另一件衣服,就是刺绣的衣服。这刺绣表征圣灵变化的工作。今天圣灵正作工在我们身上,变化我们……。虽然我们已经有了第一件衣服,但现在圣灵正在作刺绣的工作,以准备第二件衣服,这衣服要使我们有资格在基督的审判台前见祂。一天过一天,我们在圣灵的针刺,圣灵的变化之下。这是因为我们不仅需要得称义,也需要得称许。……只有那些穿着借圣灵刺绣的工作所产生之第二件衣服的人才会被选上,才有资格参加羔羊的婚筵(新约总论第十四册,二五四页)。
21In Psalm 45 the queen has two garments (vv. 13-14), one corresponding to the objective righteousness for our salvation and the other to the subjective righteousness for our victory. The latter is equivalent to the wedding garment in Matthew 22:11 and 12. The queen in Psalm 45 signifies the church. Her first garment is inwrought with gold, and her second is embroidered clothing. In the Bible gold signifies the nature of God. At the time of our salvation we received a golden garment that enabled us to be in the presence of God. In addition to this, we need another garment, a garment of embroidery. This embroidery signifies the transforming work of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit today is working on us to transform us…Although we have the first garment, our second garment is now being prepared under the embroidering work of the Holy Spirit. This garment will qualify us to see Christ at His judgment seat. Day by day we are under the needle, the transformation work, of the Holy Spirit. This is because we need not only justification but also approval…Only those who have the second garment produced by the embroidering work of the Holy Spirit will be chosen and qualified to attend the wedding feast of the Lamb. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, pp. 4327-4328)
