林前一2 …在基督耶稣里被圣别，蒙召的圣徒，同着所有在各处呼求我们主耶稣基督之名的人；祂是他们的，也是我们的。

　　罗十12 …众人同有一位主，祂对一切呼求祂的人是丰富的。

　　1 Cor. 1:2 ….to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, the called saints, with all those who call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, who is theirs and ours.

　　Rom. 10:12 …. For the same Lord is Lord of all and rich to all who call upon Him.

　　基督成为肉体，成为人，命名耶稣。耶稣等于希伯来文的约书亚（民十三16），意即耶和华救恩，或耶和华救主，所以祂是救主，要将祂的百姓从他们的罪里救出来。〔太一21。〕基督的第二个名字，就是基督，〔16，〕等于希伯来文的弥赛亚（约一41），意即受膏者，说出祂是神的受膏者，为神用祂的灵所膏，来创造、救赎，以完成神永远的计划。

　　耶稣和基督，是神所命名的。等人发现祂是神的时候，就称祂为以马内利，〔太一23，〕意即神与我们同在。这启示，那作我们救主的耶稣，和那作神受膏者的基督，乃是神自己来与我们同在（生命课程卷一，四七至四八页）。

　　When Christ was incarnated to be a man, He was given the name Jesus by an angel. Jesus is equivalent to Joshua in Hebrew (Num. 13:16), which means the salvation of Jehovah, or Jehovah the Savior. Thus, He is the Savior, who will save His people from their sins.

　　The second name of Christ is Christ, the equivalent of Messiah in Hebrew (John 1:41), which means the anointed One. This name reveals that He is God's anointed One, being anointed by God with His Spirit to create and to redeem in order to fulfill God's eternal purpose.

　　Jesus and Christ were names given by God. When men discovered that He was God, they called Him Emmanuel, which means God with us. This name reveals that Jesus, who is our Savior, and Christ, who is God's Anointed, are actually God Himself coming to be with us. (Life Lessons Ch 8)

　　〔行传〕二章二十一节的“呼求”这辞，原文是…以听得见的声音呼叫，甚至像司提反一样大声呼喊（七59～60）。从这点我们看见，呼求主名是以听得见的声音呼求祂。这不是我们所发明的教训或作法，这是合乎圣经的事实。…呼求主完全是根据旧约和新约的启示（使徒行传生命读经，一二六至一二七页）。

　　哥林多前书告诉我们，蒙召的圣徒就是呼求主名的人，呼求主名的人就是圣徒。这些圣徒总其大成来说就是召会。所以我们的身份，我们的地位就是蒙召的圣徒，也就是呼求主名的人。保罗说，基督“是他们的，也是我们的”（一2）。意思就是说，基督乃是一切呼求祂名之人的分。到了九节就说，这位神呼召我们进入祂儿子耶稣基督的交通里，也就是进入基督的享受里。神呼召我们来，就是要叫我们有分于基督的享受，而这享受基督的路就是呼求主名。…我们是蒙召的圣徒，我们也是呼求主名的人，我们蒙召就是来呼求主名。

　　有一件事…非常重要，就是主的名和主的灵。主的名是耶稣，主的灵就是主的自己，就是主的人位。我们都有一个名字，每一个名字都有一个人位，就是我们这个人。…耶稣是主的名字，圣灵是主的人位。…我一喊主的名字，圣灵就来了。弟兄姊妹，你以为主耶稣是虚有其名的么？主耶稣是实在的，所以你一喊，祂就来了，因为祂就是圣灵。你不要以为呼喊主名是一件小事，主耶稣是喊不得的，你一喊“哦，主耶稣！”祂就来了。…你需要救赎么？祂里头有。你需要能力么？祂里头有。你需要生命么？祂里头有。你需要圣洁、忍耐么？祂里头都有。你缺少什么，祂就供应什么（主的恢复—吃，一八至二一页）。

　　罗马十章十二节说，主对一切呼求祂的人是丰富的。享受主丰富的路就是呼求祂。主不但是丰富的，还是亲近又便利的，因为祂是赐生命的灵（林前十五45下）。祂既是灵，就是无所不在的，我们可以随时随地呼求祂的名。我们一呼求祂，祂是灵，立刻临到我们，我们就享受到祂的丰富（呼求主名，一六、一八页）。

　　In 2:21 Peter goes on to say, “And it shall be that everyone, whoever calls on the name of the Lord, shall be saved.” …Calling on the name of the Lord is not a new practice in the New Testament. The Greek word for “call upon” is epikaleo, composed of epi, upon, and kaleo, call by name, that is, to call out audibly, even loudly, as Stephen did (Acts 7:59-60)….Acts 2:21 speaks of calling on the name of the Lord. The name denotes the person. Jesus is the name of the Lord, and the Spirit is His Person. When we call, “Lord Jesus,” we receive the Spirit….As we have indicated, calling on the name of the Lord is not a new practice; it is not something invented by us. According to the Bible, calling on the name of the Lord was first practiced in Genesis 4. (Life Study of Acts Ch 9)

　　First Corinthians 1:2 tells us that the called saints are those who call upon the name of the Lord, and those who call upon the name of the Lord are the saints. The totality of these saints is the church. Therefore, our status and our position are that we are saints, those who call upon the name of the Lord. Paul said that Christ is “theirs and ours.” This means that Christ is the portion of all those who call upon His name. Then in verse 9 he said that God has called us into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ, that is, into the enjoyment of Christ. God has called us that we may participate in the enjoyment of Christ, and the way to enjoy Christ is by calling upon His name. (The Lord's Recovery of Eating Ch 3)

　　There is one matter that is very important, yet it is not clear to many Christians. It concerns two things: the name of the Lord and the Spirit of the Lord. The name of the Lord is Jesus, and the Spirit of the Lord is the Lord Himself, the person of the Lord. Everyone has a name, and every name denotes a person, who is the person himself. If there were no such person but only a name, then that name would equal nothing. Jesus is the name of the Lord, and the Spirit is the person of the Lord. When I call the Lord's name, the Spirit comes. Brothers and sisters, do you think that the Lord Jesus is merely an empty name? The Lord Jesus is real; therefore, when you call, He comes, and the One who comes is the Spirit. Do not think that calling upon the name of the Lord is a small matter; you cannot call upon the name of the Lord Jesus without any result. When you call, “O Lord Jesus!”, He comes.

　　The Bible tells us to pray, but in addition to praying, it also tells us to call upon the name of the Lord. When you say, “Lord Jesus,” the Spirit is here. The Spirit is the living Jesus; the Spirit is the realized Jesus; the Spirit is the Jesus who comes to you. When you call on the name of an idol, nothing happens because it has an empty name. No matter how much you call on Buddha, Buddha will not come. However, our Lord Jesus is the true and living God; He is the true and living Spirit. Christ as such a Spirit is the all-inclusive Spirit. Do you need redemption? Redemption is in Him. Do you need power? Power is in Him. Do you need life? Life is in Him. Do you need holiness and patience? Holiness and patience are in Him. He can supply whatever you need. (Ch 4)

　　Romans 10:12 says that the Lord of all is rich to all who call upon Him. The way to enjoy the riches of the Lord is to call upon Him. The Lord is not only rich, but also near and available, because He is the life-giving Spirit (1 Cor. 15:45b). As the Spirit, He is omnipresent. We may call on His name at any time and in any place. When we call on Him, He comes to us as the Spirit, and we enjoy His riches. (Calling on the Name of the Lord)
