23〔约壹四章十三节的〕“在此”二字的意思是,神已将祂的灵赐给我们,我们从这事实就知道我们住在祂里面,祂也住在我们里面。神所赐住在我们里面的那灵(雅四5,罗八9、11),乃是我们灵中的见证人(16),见证我们住在神里面,神也住在我们里面。这居住的灵,就是内住的灵,乃是我们与神互相居住、互相内住的元素和范围。祂使我们确信,我们与神是一,彼此居住,且互相内住。这由我们的生活,就是习惯地彰显神爱的生活,得着证明。……〔约壹四章十三节〕指明,我们可以知道我们住在神里面。住在神里面就是居住在祂里面,留在我们与祂的交通里,使我们经历并享受祂住在我们里面。这就是凭实行神的义和神的爱的生活,照着神圣的膏油涂抹(二27),实行与神是一。这完全是借着包罗万有、复合之灵的运行,这灵居住在我们的灵里,又是神圣膏油涂抹的基本元素。 23[In 1 John 4:13] the words in this mean in the fact that God has given to us of His Spirit, we know that we abide in Him and He in us. The Spirit, whom God has given to dwell in us (James 4:5; Rom. 8:9, 11), is the witness in our spirit (v. 16), witnessing that we dwell in God and God in us. The abiding Spirit, that is, the indwelling Spirit, is the element and sphere of the mutual abiding, the mutual indwelling, of us and God. By Him we are assured that we and God are one, that we abide in each other, indwelling each other mutually. This is evidenced by our living, a living that habitually expresses His love. First John 4:13 indicates that we may know that we abide in God. To abide in God is to dwell in Him, to remain in our fellowship with Him, that we may experience and enjoy His abiding in us. This is to practice our oneness with God according to the divine anointing (2:27) by living a life that practices His righteousness and His love. It is all carried out by the operation of the all-inclusive compound Spirit, who dwells in our spirit and who is the basic element of the divine anointing.
