13我们得救时,基督就进到我们的灵里。……当我们得以加强到里面的人里,就给基督开门,在我们里面扩展,从我们的灵扩展到我们的心思、情感和意志的每一部分里。基督越多在我们里面扩展,就越多定居且安家在我们里面。这意思是说,祂占有我们里面的每一部分,并以祂自己充满、浸透各部分。结果我们不仅得了启示,我们也被基督充满。然后无论我们到哪里,我们都是使徒,就是受差遣的人;也是申言者,就是为基督说话的人(以弗所书生命读经,三三八至三三九、三四一页)。
13When we were saved, Christ came into our spirit…As we are strengthened into the inner man, the door is opened for Christ to spread in us, to spread from our spirit to every part of our mind, emotion, and will. The more Christ spreads within us, the more He settles down in us and makes His home in us. This means that He occupies every part of our inner being, possessing all these parts and saturating them with Himself. As a result, not only do we receive the revelation, but we also are filled with Christ. Then wherever we may go, we will be the apostles, the sent ones, and the prophets, those who speak for Christ. (Life-study of Ephesians, pp. 268, 270)
