6探访福音朋友,与弟兄姊妹交通,都是很甜美的行动;然而,在那些行动中,我们〔也许〕积极热心,却是把活的基督关在里面,既不理祂,也不睬祂。所以,实际上,我们是违背了那在我们里面活的基督。……我们不照着祂的意思作,明显就是背叛。这是我们许多人天天都在犯的罪;我们所犯的罪,最多、最厉害的,还不是外面看得见的罪行,乃是里面那些违背基督所给我们的感觉的罪恶。〔基督活在我们里面,〕祂一直并随时给我们……里面生命的感觉。我们应该顺从祂,然而我们却常不顺从。祂要我们作的,我们不作;祂不要我们作的,我们偏去作。我们经常是这样地悖逆祂;这个悖逆,使祂的生命在我们里面,常常遇到难处(李文集一九五三年第一册,一七九至一八○页)。
6Visiting gospel friends and fellowshipping with the brothers and sisters are very pleasant things to do. However, we may be very active and zealous in doing those things but still may imprison the living Christ within us by ignoring Him. Thus, we are actually disobeying the living Christ in us…Our unwillingness to do things according to His will is clearly rebellion. Many of us commit this sin every day. The sin that we commit the most frequently and most severely is not an outward and visible sin; rather, it is the sin of disobeying the sense of Christ in us. Christ is living in us, and He is constantly giving us an inward sense of life. We should obey Him, but we often disobey Him. We often do not do what He wants us to do, and we often do what He does not want us to do. We often rebel against Him. Rebellion continually creates obstacles for His life in us.
