约十五4~5　你们要住在我里面，我也住在你们里面。枝子若不住在葡萄树上，自己就不能结果子，你们若不住在我里面，也是这样。……离了我，你们就不能作什么。

　　约壹二24　至于你们，务要让那从起初所听见的住在你们里面；那从起初所听见的若住在你们里面，你们也就住在子里面，并住在父里面。

　　在神圣的三一里活着，就是住在基督这真葡萄树里（约十五5）。……在三一神里面活着，就像枝子住在葡萄树上。基督这三一神的具体化身乃是葡萄树，……在全地蔓延并生长。“住”字原文的意思是，不仅停留或暂住，更是居家或安家。……在基督这位三一神的具体化身里活着，意思就是我们以基督为我们日常生活的居所。……葡萄树及其枝子，乃是三一神的生机体。因此，在三一神里活着，就是住在作神生机体的基督里。在约翰一书里我们看见，我们需要住在主里面，住在子里面，住在父里面，并住在神里面〔参二24、27~28，三6、24，四13〕。这陈明一幅在三一神里面活着的完整图画。在三一神里面活着，就是在作三一神生机体的基督里面，在主带着祂为首的身分并祂的主权里面，在子带着祂儿子的名分里面，在父带着祂为父的身分里面，在神带着祂要我们信祂儿子并爱祂所有众子的诫命里面，过日常的生活。我们和神、父、子、主、基督之间的连结，联系，乃是那灵（在神圣三一里并同神圣三一活着，九七至九八、一○一页）。

　　John 15:4-5 Abide in Me and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me....Apart from Me you can do nothing.

　　1 John 2:24 As for you, that which you heard from the beginning, let it abide in you. If that which you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father.

　　To live in the Divine Trinity is to abide in Christ as the true vine (John 15:5)....To live in the Triune God is just like the branches abiding in a vine tree....Christ as the embodiment of the Triune God is a vine tree...spreading and growing over the entire earth.

　　The Greek word for abide means not only to remain or to stay but also to have our home, or to make our home....To live in Christ as the embodiment of the Triune God means that we take Christ as our dwelling place for our daily life....The vine tree with its branches is the very organism of the Triune God. Thus, to live in the Triune God is to abide in Christ as God's organism.

　　In 1 John we see that we need to abide in the Lord, in the Son, in the Father, and in God [cf. 2:24, 27-28; 3:6, 24; 4:13]. This presents a full portrait of living in the Triune God. To live in the Triune God is to have a daily life in Christ as the organism of the Triune God, in the Lord with His headship, with His lordship, in the Son with His sonship, in the Father with His fatherhood, and in God with His commandments of believing in His Son and of loving all His other sons.... We abide in God by the Spirit of God (v. 24b).... The linking, the connection, between us and God, the Father, the Son, the Lord, and Christ is the Spirit. (CWWL, 1988, vol. 1, “Living in and with the Divine Trinity,” pp. 340-343)

　　在祂里面活着，把我们放在享受祂的地位上。同祂活着乃是享受的本身。同神圣三一活着，就是享受神圣的三一。与一个人一同生活，就是享受那个人。因此，同三一神活着乃是我们对三一神的享受。……按照我大略的估计，新约的四分之一是为着我们在三一神里活着，四分之三是为着我们同三一神活着。……在神圣三一里活着，就是住在基督里；同神圣三一活着，就是有基督住在我们里面（约十五5）。当我们住在基督里，基督就也住在我们里面，并且祂的住就是祂与我们同在。……我们〔就〕有祂与我们同在，作我们的享受。

　　有基督住在我们里面，就是有基督的话住在我们里面，为要结常存的果子（7~8、16）。在约翰十五章七节，主说，“你们若住在我里面，我的话也住在你们里面，凡你们所愿意的，祈求就给你们成就。”这种的祈求是与结果子（8）有关的，并且必定会得着应允。我们若要作前去传福音的人，就必须是爱基督的话的人。我们必须是那些有活的话，有生命的话住在我们里面的人。如果我们不是这样的人，我们传福音就不会持久。基督活的话会激励我们前去结果子。

　　有基督住在我们里面，就是有实际的灵住在我们里面（十四17）。……事实上，基督的话和实际的灵乃是一。在六章六十三节主告诉我们，祂所说的话就是灵。神的话和神的灵，都是神的呼出或气。当这气进到我们里面，并停留在我们里面时，这气就是灵。当这气借着我们的说话从我们里面出来时，就成了话（在神圣三一里并同神圣三一活着，一一八至一二二页）。

　　To live in Him puts us into the position of the enjoyment of the Lord. To live with Him is the enjoyment itself. To live with the Divine Trinity is to enjoy the Divine Trinity. To live with a person is to enjoy that person. Thus, to live with the Triune God is our enjoyment of the Triune God. According to my rough estimation, one-fourth of the New Testament is for our living in the Triune God, but three-fourths of the New Testament is for our living with the Triune God. To live in the Divine Trinity is to abide in Christ, and to live with the Divine Trinity is to have Christ abide in us (John 15:5). When we abide in Christ, Christ abides in us, and His abiding is His presence with us; ...we have Him with us for our enjoyment.

　　To have Christ abiding in us is to have the words of Christ abiding in us for the bearing of remaining fruit (vv. 7-8, 16). In John 15:7 the Lord said, “If you abide in Me and My words abide in you, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you.” This kind of asking is related to fruit-bearing (v. 8) and surely will be fulfilled. If we are to be those who go forth to preach the gospel, we must be those who love the word of Christ. We must be those who have the living word, the word of life, abiding in us. If we are not such persons, our preaching of the gospel will not last long. The living word of Christ stirs us up to go forth and bear fruit.

　　To have Christ abiding in us is to have the Spirit of reality abiding in us (14:17).... Actually, the words of Christ and the Spirit of reality are one. In John 6:63 the Lord told us that the words which He has spoken are spirit. God's word and God the Spirit are both God's breath. When this breath gets into us and remains in us, this breath is the Spirit. When this breath comes out of us through our speaking, it becomes the word.
