腓二5 你们里面要思念基督耶稣里面所思念的。

　　多三5 祂便救了我们，并不是本于我们所成就的义行，乃是照着祂的怜悯，借着重生的洗涤，和圣灵的更新。

　　一个新人是在基督里创造的，但在你身上，新人可能一点没有出现。因此，我们必须穿上那已经在基督里创造的新人。我们穿上新人的路，乃是借着在我们心思的灵里得以更新。

　　罗马八章十六节告诉我们，那灵自己同我们的灵见证我们是神的儿女。这节很强地见证，那使人重生的灵内住在我们的灵里。神的灵居住在我们人的灵里，现今那“与主联合的，便是与主成为一灵”（林前六17）。这指明主作为那灵与我们的灵调和。我们越祷告，越与主交通，越呼求主可爱的名，越将我们全人向祂敞开，这调和的灵就越扩展到我们的心思里，因而成了我们心思的灵。在这样的灵里，我们得以更新而变化（CWWL一九七七年第三册，六五二至六五三页）。

　　Phil. 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.

　　Titus 3:5 Not out of works in righteousness which we did but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and the renewing of the Holy Spirit.

　　The one new man was created in Christ, but on you nothing of the new man may exist. Thus, we have to put on, to wear, the new man, which has already been created in Christ. The way we put on the new man is by being renewed in the spirit of our mind.

　　Romans 8:16 tells us that the Spirit Himself witnesses with our spirit that we are children of God. This verse strongly testifies that the regenerating Spirit indwells our spirit. The divine Spirit dwells in our human spirit, and now “he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit” (1 Cor. 6:17). This indicates the mingling of the Lord as the Spirit with our spirit. The more that we pray, fellowship with the Lord, call on His dear name, and open our entire being to Him, the more such a mingled spirit spreads into our mind, thus becoming the spirit of our mind. It is in such a spirit that we are renewed for our transformation. (CWWL, 1977, vol. 3, “The One New Man,” pp. 515-516)

　　

　　我们必须将心思置于灵，我们的心思才有可能得着更新。……不仅如此，新约也教训我们，我们里面要思念基督耶稣里面所思念的（腓二5）。这就等于以基督耶稣的心思为心思。……〔我们〕该顾到主灵借着神的生命和祂圣别的性情，在我们里面的运行、工作，使我们的心思更新而变化。

　　得更新的路就在于祷告和读圣经；因为心思的更新乃是在一切对人生事物的观念上，受圣经的教训和圣灵的光照，而有的去旧更新。你把圣经读熟了，圣灵就光照你、指导你。你这样天天祷告、读经，圣灵来把你光照一下，就把你里面的心思都去旧更新。

　　此种心思上的更新，使信徒在属灵生命上有变化。提多书三章五节说到重生的洗涤和圣灵的更新。重生的洗涤把我们的老生命洗掉了，接着圣灵的更新就把我们的心思更换了。我们的心思一更新，全人就变化。这就是借着心思的更新而变化。重生的洗涤洁除我们旧人一切旧性情的东西，而圣灵的更新将新的东西，新人神圣的素质，分赐到我们里面。借此我们就从已往所在的老旧光景转入全新的光景，从旧造进入新造的情形。……今天人的问题大都出在心思上。倪弟兄曾说，有的人皮夹放在口袋里，怕人偷他，就一直摸口袋，这种人都是在心理方面偷过人的；这是心思有毛病。有时候人的心思不对了，就胡思乱想。作太太的胡思乱想，就哭起来了，这都是心思的故事。神作我们的生命，变化我们的性情，还要更新我们的心思，这样我们才有正确的观念，才能正确地追随基督。……我们的性情必须成为圣别，使我们有分于神圣别的性情；我们的心思也必须得更新，使我们在属灵的生命上有变化（神救恩生机的一面，四三至四六页）。

　　Our mind can be renewed only by our setting it on the spirit. Not only so, the New Testament teaches us to have the mind in us which was also in Christ Jesus (Phil. 2:5). This is equivalent to taking the mind of Christ Jesus as our mind….We should care for the transformation by the renewing of our mind, which the Lord Spirit is carrying out by moving and working in us through the divine life and the divine nature.

　　The way of renewing lies in prayer and in reading the Scriptures, because for us to be renewed in our mind is for us to get rid of all our old concepts concerning the things of the human life and be made new again by the teaching of the Holy Scriptures and the enlightening of the Holy Spirit. When you read the Bible and become familiar with it, the Holy Spirit will enlighten you and guide you. When the Holy Spirit comes to enlighten you while you thus pray and read the Word day by day, the mind in you is being changed from the old to the new.

　　Such a renewing of the mind issues in the transformation of the believers in their spiritual life. Titus 3:5 refers to the washing of regeneration and the renewing of the Holy Spirit. The washing of regeneration washes away our old life; following this, the renewing of the Holy Spirit changes our mind. When our mind is renewed, our whole being is transformed. This is to be transformed by the renewing of the mind. The washing of regeneration purges away all the things in the old nature of our old man, whereas the renewing of the Holy Spirit dispenses the new things, the divine essence of the new man, into our being. Through this we turn from the old condition in which we were into a completely new condition, from the state of the old creation into the state of the new creation.

　　Today our problem is due mostly to our mind. Brother Nee said that some people are afraid of others stealing their wallet from their pocket, so they are always feeling in their pocket for their wallet; he said that this is an indication that they have mentally stolen from others. This is to have a disordered mind. Sometimes when someone has something wrong in his mind, he begins to have wild imaginations. A wife may begin to weep when she indulges in wild imaginations. All these matters are related to the mind. God Himself has become our life, He is changing our disposition, and He is also renewing our mind. Thus, we can have the proper concepts and can pursue Christ in a proper way….Our disposition needs to be sanctified so that we may partake of God's holy nature; our mind also needs to be renewed so that we may be transformed in our spiritual life.
