约六63 赐人生命的乃是灵，肉是无益的；我对你们所说的话，就是灵，就是生命。

　　弗六17 还要借着各样的祷告和祈求，接受救恩的头盔，并那灵的剑，那灵就是神的话。

　　话有三方面：首先有神写出来的话—圣经（约十35）；然后有神活的话—基督（一1）；最后有神应用的话—那灵（弗六17，约六63）。……借着那灵，活的话成了应用的话。……首先（神）说话，而祂所说的写在一本书上，那就是圣经。只有（这）本书是神的话。

　　当圣经的话讲给我们听的时候，写出来的话立即就成了活的话。那就是基督。当活的话应用在我们身上，被我们得着的时候，就成了那灵的话。然后我们所听见那灵的话，就成了我们信的源头。信是来自听见这出于写成的圣经，借着活的基督，并凭着那灵所应用的话。

　　你可能清晨读圣经，却没有祷告或呼求主的名。这样，神的话对你就不过是写出来的话。神的话在主观上与你无关。所以你必须借着呼求主并祷读主的话，与主有一些接触。……你立即有很深的感觉，基督活在你里面。然后你会说，“主，我爱你。我爱这里的话。……”这写出来的话，对你立即成了活的话，也成了应用的话（罗马书的结晶，一○一至一○二页）。

　　John 6:63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words which I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.

　　Eph. 6:17 And receive the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which Spirit is the word of God.

　　There are three aspects of the word. First, there is the written word of God—the Bible (John 10:35). Then there is the living word of God—Christ (1:1). Finally, there is the applied word of God—the Spirit (Eph. 6:17; John 6:63)….The living word becomes the applied word through the Spirit…. First, [God] spoke, and what He spoke was written in a book. That is the Bible. There is only one book that is the word of God.

　　When the word of the Bible is spoken to us and heard by us, right away the written word becomes the living word. That is Christ. When the living word is applied to us and received by us, it becomes the word of the Spirit. Then this word of the Spirit heard by us is the source of our faith. Faith comes from the hearing of this applied word by the Spirit through the living Christ out of the written Bible.

　　Early in the morning you may read the Bible but without prayer and without calling on the name of the Lord. Then the word of God is merely the written word to you. It has nothing to do with you subjectively. So you have to have some contact with the Lord by calling on Him and pray-reading the Word…. Right away you have the deep sensation that Christ is living within you. Then you would say, “Lord, I love You. I love this word here….” Right away this written word becomes a living word and then an applied word to you. (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 1, “Crystallization-study of the Epistle to the Romans,” pp. 286-287)

　　我们无法圣别自己。我们越要圣别，就越牵扯凡俗的事物。但是当主的话调和着三一神的素质作为真理，分赐到我们里面，这真理就圣别我们。

　　假使青年人在晨更里用灵接触了主的话，然后去上学。他们整天在学校里，这真理的话就要在他们里面作工，把他们分别出来，使他们在行为、行动、工作、思想和感觉上与其他的同学不同。

　　借着这样接受主的话，我们确信有一些出于主的东西已经作到我们里面。这不仅仅是圣经的知识，或是知道一点关于主的事物。这乃是三一神的实际生活、运行、工作并分别我们。这使我们与世俗的人不同。……这是何等的祝福！每天早晨我们可以接触活的话，让神圣的实际灌输到我们里面。这样，三一神就传输到我们里面。

　　这种属神元素的灌注，释放我们脱离脾气、嫉妒、仇恨和骄傲等消极的事物，并释放我们脱离一切的虚假。这才是真正的释放，真正的自由。我们被释放的同时，也被圣别、分别，成为圣别归给神，这不仅是地位上的圣别，也是性情上的圣别。因着神的素质作到我们里面，我们就与神成为一。这就是因着真理的话圣别的意义。

　　就像呼吸，我们不能一劳永逸，而必须持续不断地操练。我们需要天天不断地被圣别，没有一分钟例外。这就是我们每天早晨都需要来到主话跟前的原因；若是可能，其他的时间也该如此。当主的话在我们的灵里与活的灵调和时，我们就被神的素质圣别了。……我们主要的需要乃是借着主的话让三一神注入到我们里面。这种注入会作工，圣别并变化我们。……借着这样接触主的话，神就一天天加添到我们里面。结果，我们就被神所浸透，与祂成为一（CWWL一九七八年第三册，四四八至四五○页）。

　　We cannot sanctify ourselves. The more we try to be sanctified, the more involved we become with things that are common. But when the word mingled with the essence of the Triune God is imparted into us as the truth, this truth sanctifies us.

　　Suppose the young people touch the Word with the Spirit in morning watch and then go to school. Throughout the day at school this word of truth will work within them to separate them and make them different from their classmates in their behavior, actions, work, thoughts, and feelings.

　　By taking the Word in this way, we have the clear conviction that something of the Lord has been wrought into us. This is not the mere knowledge of the Bible or of things concerning the Lord. It is the reality of the Triune God living, moving, working, and separating us. This makes us different from the worldly people….What a blessing! Every morning we can touch the living Word and have the divine reality infused into our being. In this way the Triune God is transfused into us.

　　This transfusion of the element of God frees us from such negative things as temper, jealousy, hatred, and pride. It sets us free from every kind of falsehood. This is real liberation, real freedom. As we are being set free, we are also sanctified, separated, made holy to God, not only positionally but also dispositionally. We become one with God because His very essence is being wrought into us. This is what it means to be sanctified by the word of truth.

　　Like breathing, we cannot do this once for all; rather, it must be a continual exercise. We need to be sanctified unceasingly every minute of the day. This is the reason we need to come to the Word every morning and, if possible, at other times as well. When the word is mingled with the living Spirit in our spirit, we are sanctified with the essence of God….Our crucial need is to have the Triune God infused into us through the Word. This…works to sanctify us and transform us…. By contacting the Word in this way, God is added into us day by day. As a result, we are permeated with God and made one with Him. (CWWL, 1978, vol. 3, “Truth Messages,” pp. 327-328)
