生命之律在我们里面各部分扩展圣经中神圣启示的基本观念

The Law of Life Spreading in Our Inward Parts The Basic Concept Of The Divine Revelation In The Bible
1我们若要彻底的明白并领略生命之律，就必须明白圣经中神圣启示的基本观念。圣经中最基本、最中心的观念，就是神要将祂自己作到我们里面，使我们成为祂活的彰显。神愿意将祂自己作到祂所拣选的人里面，使他们从祂而生，以祂作生命，因而成为祂的彰显。这是神的心愿和目的。神要得著这样一个活的彰显，惟一的路就是将祂自己作到我们里面。虽然这个基本观念，在圣经里随处可见，但基督教的基要派几乎把牠丢失了。基要派主要的是著重救赎，但救赎不是目标，乃是达到目标的方法和手续。目标乃是要使神作到我们里面，好叫我们从祂而生，得著祂作我们的生命。祂是我们的父，我们是祂的众子。我们这些众子，里面都有祂作生命。最终，这生命要变化我们，把我们模成祂的形像，使我们在宇宙中成为祂活的彰显。
1If we would thoroughly understand and apprehend the law of life, we must understand the basic concept of the divine revelation in the Bible. The basic and central concept in the Bible is that God intends to work Himself into us in order to make us His living expression. God desires to work Himself into His chosen people that they may be born of Him and have Him as their life and thus become His expression. This is God’s desire and intention. The only way for God to have such a living expression is for Him to work Himself into us. Although this basic concept is found throughout the Bible, it has nearly been lost by fundamental Christianity. Fundamental Christianity mainly stresses redemption. But redemption is not the goal; it is a way, a procedure, to reach the goal. The goal is to have God wrought into our being that we might be born of Him and that He might become our life. He is our Father and we are His sons. Being His sons, we all have Him in us as our life. Eventually, this life will transform us and conform us to His very image, making us His living expression in the universe
2这个基本观念，虽然几乎失去了，但感谢神，如今祂在这末了的日子，在祂的话中已将这事向我们开启。四十多年来，我们的负担就是要将这基本的观念，告诉神的子民。为这缘故，许多人诋毁我们传讲异端，说我们不按照圣经教导人。反对我们的人所以这样说，是因为他们对圣经的认识不彀，也不充分。只有一点的知识是危险的，不仅叫人短视，甚至还会杀害人。赞美神，因著祂的怜悯，我们看见了圣经基本的启示。这不仅是救赎的问题，而是比救赎更深、更高的事。神现今正将祂自己作到我们里面，使我们有祂的生命，可以与祂成为一，祂也可以与我们成为一。
2Although this basic concept has nearly been lost, we thank God that now, in these last days, He has opened up to us this matter in His Word. For more than forty years, we have been burdened to minister this basic concept to God’sp eople. It is for this reason that we have been falsely accused of teaching heresy, of preaching and teaching something that is not according to the Bible. Our opposers say this because their understanding of the Bible is lacking and inadequate. A little knowledge is dangerous, for it makes people short-sighted and even kills them. We praise God that under His mercy we have seen the basic revelation in the Scriptures. This is not simply a matter of redemption. No, it is something deeper and higher than this. God is now working Himself into us that we may have His life, that we may be one with Him, and that He may be one with us
3神的儿子进到我们里面作生命我再说，神完成祂心意的方法，就是进到我们里面，使我们从祂而生。为要使我们从祂而生，神就在祂儿子耶稣基督里，进到我们里面。耶稣基督是神的儿子，也就是神自己，乃是神的形像。歌罗西一章十五节说，基督是那不能看见之神的像。子是父的形像，是父的彰显。因此，你看见子，就是看见父。当我们相信祂的时候，神的儿子就进到我们里面。这意思不是祂给了我们甚么，乃是祂自己进到了我们里面。我们应当摒除一种观念，以为我们相信了主耶稣基督，神就把祂的生命赐给我们。这种领会是不准确的。不是说我们相信了主耶稣，神就在天上把一些东西放进我们里面。不，乃是当我们相信了主耶稣，神的儿子，就是神自己，就进到我们里面作生命。神不是把祂的生命赐给我们；祂乃是到我们里面来作生命。这是何等大的不同！
3THE SON OF GOD COMING INTO US AS LIFE I say again that the way in which God accomplishes His intention is by coming into us, causing us to be born of Him. In order that we might be born of Him, God comes into us in the Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ, who is the Son of God and God Himself, is God’sim age. Colossians 1:15 says that Christ is the image of the invisible God. The Son is the image, the expression, of the Father. Thus, when you see the Son, you see the Father. At the moment we believed in Him, the Son of God came into us. This does not mean that He gave us something; it means that He Himself came into us. We need to discard the concept that when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, God gave us His life. This understanding is incorrect. It was not that we believed in the Lord Jesus and that God in heaven gave us something and put it into us. No, it was that we believed in the Lord Jesus and that the Son of God, the very God Himself, came into us as life. God did not give us His life; He came in to us as life. What a great difference!
4当神进到我们里面，祂是在子里进来，并且是以子的身分，不是以父的身分进来。这事牵涉到神圣的三一。我们就是在这点上，被人指责为讲异端。但我们不是讲异端，乃是按照神纯正的话，讲明真理。进到我们里面的那位，乃是神自己。但祂是以子的身分，而不是以父的身分进来的。父是源头，子是这源头的彰显。彰显与源头乃是一。
4When God comes into us, He comes in the Son and as the Son, not as the Father. This involves the Trinity. It is at this point that we are accused of teaching heresy. But we do not teach heresy—we speak the truth according to the pure word of God. The very person who has come into our being is God Himself. But when He comes into us, He does not come as the Father but as the Son. The Father is the source, and the Son is the expression of the source. The expression and the source are one
5长子和众子神以子的身分进到我们里面，因此我们都在子里从神而生，得了儿子的名分。这就是说，我们都成了神的众子。我们不仅是得救的罪人，也是从神生的众子。这不是一件小事。在耶稣基督从死里复活之前，神只有一个儿子，圣经称祂为独生子。（约三16。）在基督复活之前，祂是神惟一的儿子。但在祂复活以后，祂不再是神惟一的独生子，因为在复活里，祂成了许多弟兄中的长子。（罗八29。）
5THE FIRSTBORN SON AND THE MANY SONS Because God comes into our being as the Son, we have been born of God in the Son and have the sonship. This means that we all have become sons of God. We are not simply saved sinners but also sons born of God. This is not a small thing. Before Jesus Christ resurrected from the dead, God had only one Son, the One whom the Bible calls the Only Begotten Son (John 3:16). Before His resurrection, Christ was the unique Son of God. But after His resurrection, He was no longer the unique Only Begotten Son of God, for in resurrection He became the Firstborn among many brothers (Rom. 8:29
6究竟神有多少儿子？一面，约翰三章十六节说到『独生子』；但另一面，希伯来二章十节说，神要领许多的儿子进荣耀里去；并且罗马八章二十九节说，基督在许多弟兄中作长子。这样，神是否有两类的儿子？不，只有一类。中国福建人喜欢有很多儿子，如果自己生养得不彀，甚至还会买些儿子来。有人只生了两个儿子，以后买了十个，凑足十二个。但这十二个儿子分为两类：生来的和买来的。在这个人的心底，始终觉得只有两个是亲生的儿子，是真儿子，其余的不过是名义上的儿子而已。神难道也有两类儿子，一类是独生子，另一类是众子么？不，圣经启示我们，神的独生子已经成为许多儿子中的长子，这证明说神只有一类儿子。长子是神的儿子，众子也是神的儿子。长子和众子都是出于同一位父。（来二11。）
6How many sons does God have? On the one hand, John 3:1 6 speaks of the Only Begotten Son. But Hebrews 2:10 says that God is leading many sons into glory, and Romans 8:29 says that Christ is the Firstborn among many brothers. Does God have two kinds of sons? No, He has just one kind. In China, the Fukienese like to have many sons. If they cannot beget enough sons, they may buy some others. A certain man may beget only two sons and later buy another ten sons, giving him a total of twelve. These twelve sons, however, are of two kinds, the born sons and the purchased sons. Deep in his heart, this man feels that only two of his sons are sons in life, sons in reality, while the other ten are me rely sons in term. Does God have two kinds of sons, the Only Begotten Son being one kind and the many sons being the other kind? No, the Bible reveals that the Only Begotten Son of God has become the Firstborn among many sons, proving that God has just one kind of son. The Firstborn is the Son of God, and the many sons are also sons of God. The Firstborn Son and the many sons are all of the same one Father (Heb. 2:11).
基督需要扩展
THE NEED FOR CHRIST TO SPREAD
到我们的心思、情感和意志里
INTO OUR MIND, EMOTION, AND WILL
7说到神只有一类的儿子，是不是说，我们这些众子与耶稣基督完全一样？若说神只有一类的儿子，而我们是神的众子，我们岂不就是与耶稣基督一样么？我们该怎样答覆这问题？你与神的儿子耶稣基督完全一样么？耶稣基督已经进到我们灵里。（提后四，林前六17。）就著我们的灵来说，我们与基督的确是一样。但作为一个人，我们还有由心思、情感和意志所组成的魂。在灵里我们与神的儿子虽然没有分别，但在心思、情感和意志里，我们还没有和祂完全一样。
7In saying that God has only one kind of son, are we saying that we, the many sons, are exactly the same as Jesus Christ? If God has only one kind of son and if we also are the sons of God, then are we not the same as Jesus Christ? How can we answer this question? Are you exactly the same as Jesus Christ, the Son of God? Jesus Christ has come in to our spirit (2 Tim. 4:22; 1 Cor. 6:17). According to our spirit, we are 22 exactly the same as Christ. But, as a human being, we also have a soul composed of the mind, the emotion, and the will. Although in our spirit we are the same as the Son of God, in our mind, emotion, and will we are not yet the same as He.
8在我们里面的这位神子，是完整的，不是部分的。神的儿子在我们里面乃是完整的人位。祂不是把自己分为许多分，拿出一小分来，放进我们里面。神的儿子基督是以完整、完全的人位，进到我们里面。虽然基督在我们灵里是整个的人位，但我们的思想，一次又一次不是出于我们灵里的基督，而是出于我们丑恶的心思。就在今天，可能你还在心思里评论某位弟兄，对自己说，『我不喜欢某某弟兄，最好把他除掉、剪除。』但不论好坏，只要他是个弟兄，你就不该说不喜欢他。你这样看法是从你丑恶的心思来的，而不是从你灵里的基督来的。你的情感又怎样？当你爱的时候，你的爱是从灵里，就是从神的儿子那里发出的，还是从情感来的？我不是问你爱甚么，乃是问你这个爱是从那里发出的：是从天然的情感，还是从内住的基督发出。如果我们与基督一样都是神的儿子，为甚么我们的情感与祂的不一样？这是因为基督只在我们的灵里，还未扩展到我们的情感里，所以我们的情感向祂仍是独立的。
8The Son of God is in us, not partially but wholly. The complete Person of the Son of God is in us. He did not cut Himself into pieces and then put a small piece of Himself into us. Christ, the Son of God, has come into us as a whole, perfect Person. Although the whole Person of Christ is in our spirit, time after time our thinking does not originate with Christ in our spirit but with our ugly mind. Perhaps even today you were thinking about a certain brother, saying to yourself, “I don’t like BrotherS o-and-So. He should be excluded and cut off.” But as long as he is a brother, whether he is good or bad, you should not say that you do not like him. This thought comes from your ugly mind, not from Christ in your spirit. What about your emotion? When you love, do you love from the spirit where the Son of God is, or do you love from your emotion? I do not ask what you love, but from where you love—from your natural emotion or from the indwelling Christ. If we, like Christ, are sons of God, then why is our emotion different from His? Because Christ is only in our spirit. He has not yet spread into our emotion, and thus our emotion is still independent of Him
9再说我们的意志。无论你的意志是野的或是驯的，仍然是你自己的意志。当你要去买东西时，你该查问一下，这个要买东西的念头，是出于你灵里内住的基督，还是出于你自己天然的意志？姊妹们，你们决定要去买东西时，有多少次的决定是出于基督？有多少次是出于你们的意志？恐怕十次中，难得有一次是内住的基督决定的。这就表示你们去买东西，是不纯净的、是有搀杂的，大部分出于你们自己的意志。再看你天天所作的许多决定，情形又怎样？你有几次从基督，而非从你自己的意志作出决定？身为神的儿子，你作决定的源头，是基督还是你自己的意志？我不是讲好坏，也不是讲宗教，我只是要问，你是在灵里，就是从神儿子那里作出决定？还是从自己的意志作出决定？虽然我们是神的众子，但我们必须承认，我们作出的决定，多数都是出于自己的意志，而不是出于我们灵里神的儿子耶稣基督。我们聚会唱诗的时候是一个样子，但在实际生活里作决定时又是一个样子，所凭的源头并不是基督。因此，虽然我们灵里有基督，却不能彰显神，因为基督在我们里面受了限制。祂进到我们里面以后，就受监禁在我们里面，没有自由从我们灵里扩展出去。
9Let us say a word about our will. Whether your will is wild or tame, it is still your will. When you go shopping, you must examine the source of your going shopping. Is the source the indwelling Christ in your spirit, or your own natural will? Sisters, when you decide to go shopping, how often do you decide from Christ and how often from your will? Out of ten times, perhaps hardly once have you decided to go shopping from the indwelling Christ. This shows that your going shopping is not pure. It is a mixture, coming mostly out of your own will. What about the decisions you make day after day? How many times do you make a decision by Christ and not by your own will? As a son of God, what is the source of your decisions—Christ or your own will? I am not talking about being good or bad, nor about anything religious. I am asking whether you make decisions from your spirit, the place where the Son of God is, or from your own will. Although we are sons of God, we must admit that most of our decisions are made from our will, not from the Son of God, Jesus Christ, in our spirit. When we sing hymns in the meetings we take one way, but when we make decisions in our practical living we take another way, the way of using a source other than Christ. Therefore, although we have Christ in our spirit, we cannot express God, because Christ is confined within us. After coming into us, He has been imprisoned within us, for He does not have the freedom to spread out from our spirit.
生命之律的意义
THE MEANING OF THE LAW OF LIFE
10这又把我们带回到生命之律。在上一篇信息里，我们已经指出，生命之律就是基督自己。住在我们灵里的基督，乃是我们的生命。这样，生命之律究竟是甚么？就是生命在尽功用。律是不变的、自动的规律。无论甚么时候，往空中抛物，该物一定会掉到地上。这就是地心引力的律，这律是不变的、自动的律。每一种生命都有牠自己的律。我常用桃树作说明。如果你后园里有棵桃树，你不必担心牠会结出西瓜。也不必说，『我喜欢桃子的样子，不希望这树结出西瓜。我担心这树结出的果子没有桃子的样子，我要造些桃子的模型放在树枝上，然后吩咐桃树照模型的样子结果子，不要改变样子。』这样作是何等荒谬。但基督教正是这样作。他们的牧师和教师造出一些模型加在人身上，要求他们以某种方式生活。这实在是愚昧。如果你这样对待桃树，而牠会说话的话，必定说，『把你的模型拿开。我不用任何外面的规条。我生长，我结出桃子状的果子，都是因我里面活的规律。我的生命会形成桃子的模样。』这就是律。每一年，桃树都结出桃子模样的果子。苹果树也是这样，苹果树的生命有苹果的律；牠长大了，自然而然会结出苹果模样的果子。这是苹果树里生命之律所规律出来的结果。然而，基督教丢失了这件事。
10This again brings us to the law of life. In the previous message we pointed out that the law of life is just Christ Himself. The Christ who indwells our spirit is our life. What then is the law of life? It is life functioning. A law is an unchanging, automatic regulation. Whenever you throw an object into the air, the object will fall to the ground. This is the law of gravity which is an unchanging, automatic law. Every life has its own law. I have often used the illustration of a peach tree. If you have a peach tree in your back yard, there is no need for you to worry that it might bring forth watermelons, or to say, “I love the form and beauty of peaches. I don’t want this tree to bring forth melons. Since I’m concerned that the fruit of this tree might not have the form of a peach, I’ll make some peach molds, put them on the branches of the tree, and command the tree to fit into this pattern and not to change its form.” To do this would be ridiculous. But this is exactly what Christianity does. The ministers and teachers in Christianity make molds, put them on people, and charge them to live in a certain way. This is foolish. If you did this to a peach tree and the peach tree could talk, it would say, “Take your molds away from me. I don’t need any outward regulations. I have a living regulation by which I grow and bring forth fruit in the shape of peaches. The life will form the shape of the fruit.” This is a law. Every year the peach tree produces fruit with a peach shape. The same is true of an apple tree. The apple life has the apple law. As an apple tree grows, it spontaneously produces fruit in the shape of apples. This is the result of the regulation of the law in the life of an apple tree. This matter, however, is missed by Christianity.
不需要教导
NO NEED FOR TEACHINGS
11耶利米三十一章三十三至三十四节和希伯来八章十至十一节这两处，都指出不需任何人教导我们。你如果教导桃树结桃子，牠会说，『没有人比你更愚昧。你怎么能教我？而且我也不需要你的教导。』我来到美国以后，特别是头两年，无论到那里都告诉人，他们不需要教导。我说，『你不需要教导，因为你里面有生命，而生命并不需要教导。』请问，谁教你呼吸？你上过呼吸学校，从那里毕了业么？从没有一个母亲教孩子呼吸，因为呼吸是生命的事。照样，从没有人指导苹果树结苹果，因为结苹果乃是苹果树生命的功能。当苹果树发挥功能，就结出苹果。我来美国的头两年，无论到那里，都有负担告诉人说，应该丢弃他们所有的教训，让生命运行。但我处处都被拒绝，没有一个地方例外。很多人拿著圣经来找我说，『李弟兄，你传讲说，我们不需要任何教导。但教导这辞，岂不是记载在圣经里么？』我没有意思和他们争辩，只简单的说，『你要是喜欢教导，悉从尊便。但是我不喜欢教导，我喜欢生命。赞美主，我有生命，而且这生命正在我里面长大。你喜欢教导，就去找那死的字句好了。』在有的地方，我甚至放胆的说，『你们实在又僵又死。教训杀害了你们。你们塞满了教训，所以是死的。』
11Both in Jeremiah 31:33 and 34 and in Hebrews 8:10 and 11 we are told that we do not need anyone to teach us. If you would attempt to teach a peach tree to bring forth peaches, the tree would say, “No one is as stupid as you are. You can’tt each me. Besides, I don’t need your teaching.” Since coming to this country, especially during the first two years I was here, I told people wherever I went that they did not need to be taught. I said, “You don’t need teaching because you have life in you, and life needs no teaching.” Tell me, who taught you to breathe? Did you attend a breathing school and graduate from it? No mother teaches her children to breathe, for breathing is a matter of life. In like manner, no one instructs an apple tree to bring forth apples, because producing apples is the function of the life of an apple tree. When the apple tree functions, apples are produced. During my first two years in this country, I was burdened to tell people wherever I went that they should drop their teachings and let life work. Without one exception, I was rejected in every place. Many came to me with their Bibles, saying, “Brother Lee, in your message you said that we don’t need any teaching. Isn’tt he word teaching found in the Scriptures?” I did not care to argue with them. I simply said, “If you like teaching, you may have it. But I don’t like teaching—I like life. Praise the Lord that I have life and that life is growing within me. If you like the teaching, go to the dead letters.” In some places I even boldly told people, “You are as dead as a door nail. The teachings have killed you. Because you are filled to the brim with teachings, you are dead
一个律成了几个律
THE ONE LAW BECOMING MANY LAWS
12我们已经看过，基督在我们里面。这基督就是生命，而这生命有其生命之律。因此，我们里面有基督、生命和律。住在我们灵里的基督就是生命，而这生命有一个律。在耶利米三十一章三十三节，主说，『我要将我的律法（单数）放在他们内里的各部分，写在他们心上。』（直译。）而希伯来八章十节引述耶利米三十一章三十三节，说，『我要将我的律法（复数）赐在他们心思里，并且将这些律法写在他们心上。』请注意，耶利米三十一章三十三节的一个律，成了希伯来八章十节的几个律。不仅如此，八章十节用『心思』代替『内里的各部分』，这指明心思是内里的8:10一部分。内里的各部分至少包括心思、情感和意志。为甚么会有这些改变？耶利米三十一章三十三节和希伯来八章十节说，神将祂的律，或几个律，分赐到我们里面的各部分，或我们的心思里，并且将这律，或几个律，写在我们心上。心是由心思、情感、意志和良心所组成的。希伯来八章十节不是说，神将祂的律法赐在我们心里，写在我们心思上。不，乃是说，神将祂的律法赐在我们心思里，写在我们心上。这意思是说，基督首先进到我们的灵里。这基督就是那个律，必须扩展到我们的心思里。这个扩展，就是神将律法赐在我们内里的各部分。这个律也要扩展到我们的情感和意志里。这样扩展到我们内里的各部分，一个律就成了几个律。每当我们给这律机会，这律就在我们里面扩展。这扩展就是分赐，这分赐就是『写』。因此，主将祂的律法赐在我们内里的各部分，并且写在我们心上。当主一直的扩展、分赐、并且『写』的时候，基督的形像就彰显在我们魂里，我们就被模成神长子的形像。
12We have seen that Christ is in us. This Christ equals life, and this life has its law of life. Thus, within us, we have Christ, the life, and the law. The very Christ who indwells our spirit is life, and this life has a law. In Jeremiah 31:33 the Lord says, “I will put my law in their inward parts and write it in their hearts.” But Hebrews 8:10, which is a quotation of Jeremiah 31:33, says, “I will impart my laws into their mind, and on their hearts I will inscribe them.” Notice that the law in Jeremiah 31:33 becomes the laws in Hebrews 8:10. Furthermore, in 8:10 the word mind is used instead of inward parts, indicating that the mind is one of the inward parts. The inward parts include at least the mind, the emotion, and the will. What is the reason for these changes? Jeremiah 31:33 and Hebrews say that God imparts His law, or laws, into either our inward parts or our minds, and that He inscribes His law, or laws, upon our heart. The heart is composed of the mind, the emotion, the will, and the conscience. Hebrews 8:10 does not say that God imparts His laws into our hearts and inscribes them on our mind. No, it says that God imparts His laws into our mind and inscribes them on our hearts. This means that Christ has firstly come into our spirit. This Christ is the law which must spread into our mind. The spreading of the indwelling law into our mind is the imparting of this law into our inward parts. This law must also spread into our emotion and will. By spreading into our inward parts, the one law becomes many laws. Whenever we give this law the opportunity, it will spread within us. This spreading is the imparting, and the imparting is the inscribing. Thus, the Lord imparts His law into our inward parts and inscribes it on our hearts. As the Lord continues to spread, impart, and inscribe, Christ’sim age will be expressed in our soul, and we shall be conformed to the image of God’s Firstborn Son.
13变化并模成神长子形像的路
13THE WAY TO BE TRANSFORMED AND CONFORMED TO THE IMAGE OF THE FIRSTBORN SON
14对于我们是否与神的儿子一样这个问题，我们现在知道怎样回答。我们该说，『神的儿子是在我们的灵里，但是我们的心思、情感和意志，还未完全模成神儿子的形像。虽然如此，我感谢神，我是在这模成的过程中。当这个惟一的律，扩展到我心思里时，我的心思就起了变化，模成祂的形像。祂扩展到我心思里以后，我的心思就能与祂完全一样。祂也要扩展到我的情感和意志里，使我的情感和意志与祂的一样。最终，我整个人就与祂一样。这样，我就成为神的像。』我们看见了这个异象，自然就恨恶那些宗教的教导。不要教导我要这样作、不要那样作。我不在意那些教导。我只知道神的长子耶稣基督在我灵里，等候机会将自己扩展到我的心思、情感和意志里。我只愿简单、一再的向祂敞开，而不打算作甚么。我只是敞开自己，说，『主耶稣，更多扩展到我的心思、情感和意志里。主，叫那个惟一的律，在我内里的各部分，成为几个律。我要你在我里面一直扩展，直到你占有我全人的每一部分。我不要去爱，去恨，或是去作甚么。我只要你在我里面扩展。』这样，我们就会被变化，模成神长子的形像。这是神的作为，就是祂今日在我们里面的工作。这与宗教完全不同，因为这是生命的工作。这生命就是基督自己，带著律在我们里面作工，来规律我们，管理我们，并将祂自己扩展到我们内里的各部分。
14Now we know what answer to give whenever we are asked if we are the same as the Son of God. We should say, “The very Son of God is in my spirit. But my mind, emotion, and will have not yet been conformed to the Son of God. Although my mind, emotion, and will have not yet been conformed to His image, I thank God that I’m under the process of conformation. As the unique law spreads into my mind, my mind is being transformed and conformed to His image. After He spreads into my mind, my mind will be exactly the same as His. Also, He will spread into my emotion and will, making my emotion and will the same as His. Eventually, my whole being will be exactly the same as His. In this way, I shall be the image of God.” Once we have received this vision, we shall hate the religious teachings. Do not teach me to do this and not to do that. I do not care for such teachings. I only know that Jesus Christ as the Firstborn Son of God is in my spirit waiting for the opportunity to spread Himself into my mind, emotion, and will. I simply want to open to Him again and again without trying to do anything. I just open myself and say, “Lord Jesus, spread Yourself into my mind, emotion, and will. Lord, cause the unique law to become the many laws in all my inward parts. I want You to spread in me until You possess every part of my being. I don’t want to love, hate, or do anything. I only want You to spread Yourself into me.” In this way, we shall be transformed and conformed to the image of the Firstborn Son of God. This is God’s doing, the work which He is performing in us today. This is absolutely different from religion, for it is the work of life. This life is Christ Himself with the law working in us, regulating us, ruling us, and spreading Himself into every part of our inward being.
15我们实在需要看见这个异象，并倒空自己一切宗教的观念。我愿意放下一切的教导，单单爱这位活的基督，祂在我里面是我的生命，也是惟一的律，要将祂自己扩展到我全人里。我不必操心是去爱或是去恨，是作好或是作坏，也不管任何宗教的事。我只留意在我里面活的基督。赞美祂，祂在我们的灵里！现今祂在等候机会进到我们的心思、情感和意志里，好叫祂的元素充满我们全人，使祂自己成为我们这人的元素。这样，祂就使我们与祂一样。我们甚至可以说，祂使自己成为我们。这是生命之律的运行。这是神的经纶，也是圣经中神圣启示的基本观念。愿主怜悯我们，叫我们看见这异象。
15How much we need to see this vision and empty ourselves of every religious concept. I want to drop the teachings and only love the living Christ who is in me as my life and as the unique law spreading Himself into my being. I do not care for loving or hating, for being good or bad. I do not care for anything religious. I only care for the living Christ in my spirit. Praise Him that He is in our spirit! Now He is waiting for the opportunity to get into our mind, emotion, and will that He might saturate our being with His element, causing Himself to become the very element of our being. In this way, He makes us the same as He is. We may even say that He is making Himself us. This is the working of the law of life. This is God’secon o my, the basic concept of the divine revelation in the Bible. May the Lord have mercy on us that we may see this vision
基督在我们里面扩展的路
THE WAY TO HAVE CHRIST SPREAD IN US
16基督怎样能在我们里面扩展？惟有藉著我们吃祂作隐藏的吗哪。我们所吃的隐藏吗哪，要在我们里面成为发芽的元素。当这元素从我们全人最深处发芽出来，就要达到并透过我们的心思。这就是生命之律的运行，要变化我们，将我们模成基督的形像，使我们都成为祂活的彰显。
16How can this Christ spread within us? Only by our eating of Him as the hidden manna. The hidden manna which we eat will become the budding element in us. As this element buds out of our innermost being, it will bud into and through our mind. This is the working of the law of life to transform us and conform us to Christ’sim age that we all might become His living expression
