西一9~10 ……愿你们……充分认识神的旨意,行事为人配得过主,以致凡事蒙祂喜悦,在一切善工上结果子,借着认识神而长大。 弗一17 愿我们主耶稣基督的神,荣耀的父,赐给你们智慧和启示的灵,使你们充分地认识祂。 照着歌罗西一章九至十三节,首先我们得着对神计划的认识,然后基于那认识,我们“行事为人配得过主”。认识是第一,行事为人是第二。认识神的旨意和神永远的计划,使我们行事为人能配得过主。我们的启示指引我们的行事为人。我们的行事为人受我们所得着之启示的控制。 我们都需要花时间读圣经,默想主的话,并就着这些事祷告,直到我们被真理充满,并且充分认识神永远的计划。当这事发生时,我们会在我们的灵和心里有智慧,并在我们蒙了属灵光照,且得更新的心思里有属灵的悟性。我们会有认识,不是在我们天然的心思同其天然的观念里,乃是在我们得更新的心思里;乃是圣灵借着我们的灵将悟性赐给我们得更新的心思。然后这认识、这启示,会指引并控制我们日常的行事为人。因此,首先我们需要认识神的旨意—认识基督是一切。然后我们会按着我们所认识的行事为人。这种行事为人会配得过主(神的奥秘与基督的奥秘,三一至三二页)。 |
Col. 1:9-10 ...That you may be filled with the full knowledge of His will...to walk worthily of the Lord to please Him in all things, bearing fruit in every good work and growing by the full knowledge of God. Eph. 1:17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the full knowledge of Him. According to Colossians 1:9-13, first we receive the knowledge of God’s plan and then, based on that knowledge, we “walk worthily of the Lord.” To know is first; to walk is second. Knowing the will of God and the eternal plan of God enable us to walk worthily of the Lord. Our revelation directs our walking. Our walk is under the control of the revelation that we have. We all need to spend time to read the Scriptures, to meditate on the Lord’s Word, and to pray concerning these matters until we are filled with the truth and with the full knowledge of God’s eternal plan. When this happens, we will have wisdom in our spirit and heart and spiritual understanding in our spiritually enlightened and renewed mind. We will have knowledge, not in our natural mind with its natural concepts but in our renewed mind that has been given understanding by the Holy Spirit through our spirit. Then this knowledge, this revelation, will direct and control our daily walk. Thus, first we need to know the will of God—to know that Christ is everything. Then we will walk according to what we know. This walk will be worthy of the Lord. (CWWL, 1961-1962, vol. 4, “The Mystery of God and the Mystery of Christ,” pp. 130-131) |
信息选读
行事为人配得过主,以及借着充分认识神而长大,就是按照属灵的智慧和悟性生活并行事为人。我们接受关于基督的启示和异象之后,必须按照这启示和异象行事为人。这样,我们的行事为人就配得过主,并更多有分于主。如此,我们就因基督在我们里面的增长而长大。基督在我们里面长大的路,是借着我们接受关于基督之属灵的智慧、悟性和启示,并按照我们所接受基督的属灵启示而行事为人。这是得着对神真实、主观和经历上的认识,借此我们就因基督的增长而长大。 我们需要那照着祂荣耀的权能〔西一11〕而得着内里的加力。这不仅是在我们的悟性上有启示,这里包含了更多的事。这是圣灵在我们里面加强我们、加力给我们,将神荣耀的权能分赐到我们里面。……首先,我们有在属灵悟性上的启示和异象。其次,我们决定照那异象行事为人。第三,我们仰望主,用祂的大能加强我们。这是在基督里行事为人正确的路(李文集一九六四年第二册,四五九至四六○页)。 行事为人配得过主〔10〕,乃是充分认识神旨意的结果。我们若认识神的旨意是要我们被基督浸透,接受基督作我们的生命和人位,并且活基督,自然而然的,我们的行事为人就配得过主。有些人以为行事为人配得过主就是要谦卑、和蔼、慷慨。但配得过主的行事为人,乃是活基督的行事为人。我们可能谦卑、和蔼、慷慨,却没有凭基督活着。唯有活出基督,我们的行事为人才配得过主。基督是神的旨意,基督也该是我们的行事为人(歌罗西书生命读经,二五至二六页)。 参读:由基督与召会的观点看新约概要,第二十章;歌罗西书生命读经,第三十六、四十二、五十一、五十三至五十五篇。 |
To walk worthily of the Lord and grow by the full knowledge of God is to live and walk according to spiritual wisdom and understanding. After we receive the revelation and vision concerning Christ, we have to walk according to it. Then we will walk worthily of the Lord and partake of the Lord more and more. In this way we grow by Christ being increased in us. The way for Christ to increase in us is by our receiving spiritual wisdom, understanding, and revelation concerning Christ and by walking according to the spiritual revelation of Christ that we have received. This is to gain the real, subjective, and experiential knowledge of God, by which we grow with the increase of Christ. We need the inner empowering “according to the might of His glory” (Col. 1:11). This is not only to have revelation in our understanding; it is something more. It is that the Holy Spirit within us strengthens us, energizes us, and imparts the might of God’s glory into us. First, we have revelation and vision in our spiritual understanding. Then, we make the decision to walk according to that vision. Third, we look to the Lord that He may strengthen us with His power. This is the proper way to walk in Christ. (CWWL, 1964, vol. 2, “A General Sketch of the New Testament in the Light of Christ and the Church, Part 2—Romans through Philemon,” p. 341) Walking “worthily of the Lord” (Col. 1:10) results from the full knowledge of God’s will. If we know that God’s will is for us to be saturated with Christ, to take Christ as our life and our person, and to live Christ, spontaneously our walk will be worthy of the Lord. Some think that to walk worthily of the Lord is to be humble, nice, and generous. However, a worthy walk is a walk in which we live Christ. We can be humble, nice, and generous without living by Christ. Only by living out Christ can we walk worthily of the Lord. Christ is the will of God, and He should also be our walk. (Life-study of Colossians, p. 21) Further Reading: CWWL, 1964, vol. 2, “A General Sketch of the New Testament in the Light of Christ and the Church, Part 2—Romans through Philemon,” ch. 20; Life-study of Colossians, msgs. 36, 42, 51, 53-55 |
