耶三一33　耶和华说，那些日子以后，我与以色列家所立的约，乃是这样：我要将我的律法放在他们里面，写在他们心上；我要作他们的神，他们要作我的子民。

　　结三六27　我必将我的灵放在你们里面，使你们遵行我的律例，谨守遵行我的典章。

　　按其生命说，新约的律乃是三一神；按其功用说，新约的律乃是全能的神圣性能。这神圣的性能在我们里面行作一切，为着完成神的经纶。按这性能，我们能认识神、活神并在神的生命和性情上被祂构成，使我们成为祂的扩增、扩大，作祂的丰满，使祂得着永远的彰显（弗一22~23，三19~21）。不仅如此，内里生命之律的性能，将我们构成基督身体的肢体（林前十二27，弗五30），有各种的功用（罗十二4~8，弗四11、16）（圣经恢复本，耶三一33注1）。

　　Jer. 31:33 "But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares Jehovah: I will put My law in their inward parts and write it upon their hearts; and I will be their God, and they will be My people."

　　Ezek. 36:27 "And I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and My ordinances you shall keep and do."

　　According to its life, the law of the new covenant is the Triune God, and according to its function, it is the almighty divine capacity. This divine capacity can do everything in us for the carrying out of God's economy. According to this capacity we can know God, live God, and be constituted with God in His life and nature that we may become His increase, His enlargement, to be His fullness for His eternal expression (Eph. 1:22-23; 3:19-21). Furthermore, the capacity of the inner law of life constitutes us the members of the Body of Christ (1 Cor. 12:27; Eph. 5:30) with all kinds of functions (Rom. 12:4-8; Eph. 4:11, 16). (Jer. 31:33, footnote 1)

　　保罗在罗马九章二十三节告诉我们，神把我们造成“蒙怜悯、早预备得荣耀的器皿”。然后在林后四章七节说，“我们有这宝贝在瓦器里。”这两处经文可视为我们经历基督与召会的基本秘诀。你也许听过许多篇论到基督和召会的信息，但如果你不晓得你必须是一个敞开的器皿，基督与召会还是没有路。敞开的器皿是什么意思？敞开的器皿就是不作什么，只是一直敞开，好得着充满。经过种种过程的神—三一神、包罗万有的灵、复合的灵—在这里等候得着一个入口，好进到你里面去。祂进到你里面有多少，在于你向祂敞开有多少。

　　 主要你主动而被动。这意思是说，祂要你爱祂，保守自己一直向祂敞开，但要停下你的作为。然后你就看见你得救了，你得着加力了，你得以圣别了。你会成为一个真正享受主作为的人。当你祷告的时候，你会一直满了感谢。……你用不着求主帮助你得胜，帮助你胜过罪，帮助你有忍耐。你这样祷告求主帮助你，最后不是主帮助你，而是你自己帮助了你自己。最终你不会满了感谢，因为你晓得是你作成了一切。你只需要爱祂，把自己向祂敞开，给祂每一个机会来作祂所要作的一切事。你就成为享受者，享受祂和祂的作为。所以每当你祷告的时候，感谢就会从你口中出来，因你向主满了感谢。你会经历主是你的得胜、你的圣别、你的一切。你会成为享受主之所是和所作的人。

　　这意思不是说，你是懒惰的、冷淡的、无言的或困倦的。不，你是儆醒的、清明的。你爱主，你保守自己一直向祂敞开，然而你不作什么，祂要作成一切。这不但是可能的，也是主所要求的。主要求你停下你的作为，但祂不要你打盹或漠不关心；祂要你非常儆醒。要爱祂，把自己一直向祂敞开，天天告诉祂说，“主，我爱你。主，我在这里向你敞开。主，怜悯我，因着你的恩典，我不喜欢我的全人有哪一部分向你是关闭的，我喜欢完完全全地向你敞开。”如果你这么试一试，你就会看见有些事要发生。你无需忧虑你的得胜，无需担心你会发脾气（CWWL一九八○年第一册，三二六、三三二至三三三页）。

　　In Romans 9:23 Paul tells us that God created us as vessels of mercy unto glory. Then in 2 Corinthians 4:7 he says that “we have this treasure in earthen vessels.” These two verses may be considered as a basic secret to our experience of Christ and the church. You may hear a lot of messages on Christ and the church, yet if you do not realize that you have to be an open vessel, Christ and the church still have no way. What is the meaning of an open vessel? An open vessel is doing nothing but keeping itself open to the filling up. The processed God—the Triune God, the all-inclusive Spirit, the compound Spirit—is here waiting for an opening to get into you. How much He would enter into you depends upon how much opening you would give Him.

　　The Lord wants you to be active-passive. This means that He wants you to love Him and keep yourself all the time open to Him but to stop doing. Then you would see that you are saved, you are empowered, you are sanctified. You will become one who really enjoys the Lord's doing. When you pray, you will all the time be full of thanks.…You do not need to pray that the Lord will help you to win the victory and to overcome sin and to be patient. When you pray in this way, asking the Lord to help you, eventually it is not the Lord who helps you. You simply help yourself. Eventually, you are not so grateful, because you realize that you did everything. You just need to love Him and to keep yourself open to Him, giving Him every opportunity to do everything He wants to do. You become the enjoyer, enjoying Him and enjoying His doing. So whenever you would pray, thanks would come out of your mouth because you are so grateful to the Lord. You would experience that the Lord is your victory, your sanctification, everything to you. You will be the enjoyer of what the Lord is and of what the Lord does.

　　It does not mean that you are lazy or indifferent or dumb or sleepy. No. You are on the alert, and you are so sober. You love the Lord, and you keep yourself open to Him all the time. Yet you would not do anything, but He would do everything. Not only is this possible, but this is also required by the Lord. The Lord requires you to stop your doing. But He does not want you to be sleepy or indifferent; He wants you to be very alert. Love Him and keep yourself open to Him. Tell Him every day, “Lord, I love You. Lord, I am here open to You. Lord, have mercy upon me, and by Your grace I do not like to have any part of my being closed to You. I like to keep myself entirely and thoroughly open to You.” If you try this, you will see what will happen. You will not need to worry about your victory; you will not need to care for the losing of your temper. (CWWL, 1980, vol. 1, “Perfecting Training, “pp. 241, 246)
