14信就是主耶稣基督。祂不仅是信心的创始者,起始者,也是信心的成终者,完成者。……我们不断地仰望祂,祂就完成并完全我们奔跑属天赛程所需要的信心。……我们向主祷告,与主交通,祷读圣经的话,参加召会聚会,听属灵信息,读属灵书报,祂这位信的成终者就不断地注入我们里面,成为相信的成分和能力。所以,我们对耶稣基督的信是由祂而来。事实上,这就是基督自己不断地注入到我们里面。这信将我们带进与基督生机的联结里。……我们与基督生机的联结得加强,就是基督在我们里面扩增并长大。基督作为信的成分和能力注入我们里面越多,祂在我们里面的长大就越多。主乃是这样成全我们的信。……日复一日,主成全我们的信,直到我们被提见祂的那日。因这缘故,保罗称主为我们信心的创始者与成终者(新约总论第十三册,一六四页)。
14Faith is simply the Lord Jesus Christ. He is not only the Author, the Originator, of faith but also the Perfecter, the Finisher, of faith…If we look to Him continually, He will finish and complete the faith that we need for the running of the heavenly race…As the Completer of faith, He is continually infused into us as the believing element and ability when we pray to the Lord, fellowship with Him, pray over the Bible, attend church meetings, listen to spiritual messages, and read spiritual books. Hence, our faith in Jesus Christ comes from Him; in fact, it is Christ Himself continually infused into us. Such faith brings us into an organic union with Christ…The increase of our organic union with Him is the increase, the growth, of Christ within us. The more Christ is infused into us as the believing element and ability, the more He is growing in us. This is our faith being perfected by the Lord…Day by day our faith will be under the Lord’s perfecting until we meet Him on the day of rapture. For this reason, Paul calls Him the Author and Perfecter of our faith. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, pp. 3831-3832)
