9荣耀的神向亚伯拉罕第一次显现以及第一次呼召并第一次说话时,对亚伯拉罕如同巨大的磁石和极大的推动力,使他从属撒但拜偶像的国出来(创十一31)。……亚伯拉罕受了吸引,但创世记给我们看见,他没有绝对并情愿地答应神的呼召。……乃是他的父亲带头,他跟从。但事实上,激动亚伯拉罕迁离撒但拜偶像之国的那个吸力和动力乃是神。神若没有来向亚伯拉罕显为荣耀的神,亚伯拉罕是不会采取这样的行动的。那个显现吸引了他,推动了他(李常受文集一九九一至一九九二年第四册,一二七页)。在神的称义里,神呼召堕落的人离开一切,归向祂自己。所以,神呼召亚伯拉罕时,没有告诉他该往哪里去,因为祂的心意是要带亚伯拉罕归向祂自己。亚伯拉罕的心必须时时刻刻,一步一步地紧联于神。他必须为着每个行动信靠神,一刻也不离开祂的同在。换句话说,亚伯拉罕必须与神是一。 9The God of glory in His first appearing to Abraham with His first calling and His first speaking was as a vast magnet and great motivation to Abraham, which moved him to come out of the country of satanic idolatry (Gen. 11:31)…Abraham was attracted, but Genesis shows us that he did not answer God’s call in an absolute and willing way…His father took the lead, and he followed. Actually, though, God was the magnet and motivation that moved Abraham to come out of the country of satanic idolatry. Abraham would not have made this move if God had not come to him as the God of glory. That drew him, attracted him, and motivated him. (CWWL, 1991-1992, vol. 4, “The History of God in His Union with Man,” p. 95) In God’s justification God calls the fallen man out of everything back to Himself. Therefore, when God called Abraham, He did not tell him where he should go, because His intention was to bring Abraham back to Himself. Moment after moment and step after step, Abraham’s heart had to cleave to God. He had to trust in God for every move, not leaving His presence for a moment. In other words, Abraham had to be one with God.
