约三15　　叫一切信入祂的都得永远的生命。

　　多三15　　同我在一起的众人都问你安。请代问那些因信爱我们的人安。愿恩典与你们众人同在。

　　信入主的意思就是接受祂。（约一12。）主是可接受的。祂如今是赐生命的灵，带着祂完全的救赎，等候并期待我们来接受祂。我们的灵是接受的器官。我们可以借着信入主而接受祂的灵到我们灵中。我们一信入祂，祂这灵就进入我们的灵中，我们就被祂这赐生命的灵所重生，并且与祂成为一灵。（林前六17。）我们借着信入祂，就进到祂里面与祂成为一，分享祂，有分于祂为我们所成就的一切。我们借着信入祂，就与祂联合，联于祂一切所是、所经过、所完成、所达到并所得着的。当我们借着信入祂与祂合一，我们就被作生命的祂所拯救、所重生。借着信入祂，我们便有分于祂作生命，并且在祂里面得了重生。（约翰福音生命读经，一三三页。）

　　John 3:15 That everyone who believes into Him may have eternal life.

　　Titus 3:15 All who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in faith. Grace be with you all.

　　To believe in the Lord means to receive Him (John 1:12). The Lord is receivable. He is now the life-giving Spirit, with His complete redemption, waiting for and expecting us to receive Him. Our spirit is the receiving organ. We can receive the Lord’s Spirit into our spirit by believing in Him. Once we believe in Him, He, as the Spirit, enters into our spirit. Then we are regenerated by Him, the life-giving Spirit, and become one spirit with Him (1 Cor. 6:17)….When we believe in the Lord, we believe into Him. By believing in Him, we get into Him to be one with Him, to partake of Him, and to participate in all that He has accomplished for us. By believing into Him, we are identified with Him in all that He is and in all that He has passed through, accomplished, attained, and obtained. As we become one with Him by believing into Him, we are saved and regenerated by Him as life. It is by believing into Him that we partake of Him as life and are regenerated in Him. (Life-study of John, p. 117)

　　（提多书三章十五节的“信”是指）主观的信，就是那把我们带进与主生机的联结里，（约三15，加三26，）且借着爱运行（加五6）之信的行动。那些与主在祂所关切的事上是一的圣徒，乃是在这信的元素和运行里，爱受苦忠信的使徒。

　　信和爱乃在基督里之信徒难以拆双的优越美德。信是神所赐我们，（彼后一1注10，）要我们用以接受（约一12）那作三一神具体化身（西二9）的基督，使我们进入三一神，与祂联结为一，得着祂作我们的生命和生命的供应、并一切。…信是欣赏、质实并接受三一神这无限的丰富。

　　提多书是三卷提字书的结束，并且这书又是以这奇妙的信和这超优的爱为结束。这含示，要在召会堕落的流中，能作中流砥柱，胜过召会走下坡的情势和因素，非借这奇妙的信和这超优的爱不能为功。唯有不凭眼见，不顾外面的情势，只在这奇妙的信中，享受这信的源头，就是我们借着这信与祂联结的三一神，而凭着这三一神超优的爱，爱祂并爱一切属于祂的人，能使我们在召会堕落的流中，成为主在启示录二、三章所呼召并要得着的得胜者。

　　这奇妙的信和这超优的爱，都是出于那深愿与我们联结以作我们一切的三一神；而这三一神经过成为肉体、钉死十架、从死复活、升上高天种种过程，所终极而成的，乃是那包罗万有赐生命的灵。（林前十五45。）这包罗神性、人性、基督的钉死、复活并升天之生命的灵，（罗八2，）就是那包罗万有之基督的实际，（约十四16~20，）又是住在我们蒙神重生的灵里。（罗八16，提后四22。）我们凭着我们死而复活的灵，借着祷告仰望，接触这样一位三一神，祂就将祂自己多方地灌输到我们里面，成了在我们里面对祂的信，并在我们外面对那些属祂之人的爱。这样的信和这样的爱，就是我们所相信、敬拜并接受之三一神—父、子、灵—的实际与彰显。（约壹四8、16。）（圣经恢复本，多三15注1。）

　　参读：约翰福音生命读经，第九、三十六篇；提多书生命读经，第一至三篇。

　　[Faith in Titus 3:15 refers] to subjective faith, the act of our believing, which brings us into an organic union with the Lord (John 3:15; Gal. 3:26) and operates through love (Gal. 5:6). It is in the element and operation of this faith that the saints who were one with the Lord in His concern loved the suffering and faithful apostle.

　　Faith and love are two inseparable, excellent virtues of the believers in Christ. Faith is given to us by God (footnote 5 on 2 Pet. 1:1) that by it we may receive Christ (John 1:12), the embodiment of the Triune God (Col. 2:9), and thereby enter into the Triune God and be joined to Him as one, having Him as our life, life supply, and everything…. Faith is for appreciating, substantiating, and receiving the unlimited riches of the Triune God.

　　The Epistle to Titus is the conclusion of the three books, 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus, and it concludes with the wonderful faith and the super-excellent love. This implies that, in the current of the church’s degradation, in order to be able to effectively stand firm and overcome the downward trend and factor in the church, this wonderful faith and this super-excellent love are indispensable. We should not walk by sight or care for the outward situation. Rather, in this wonderful faith we should enjoy its source, which is the Triune God, to whom we have been joined through this faith, and by this super-excellent love of the Triune God we should love Him and all those who belong to Him. Only in this way can we become, in the current of the church’s degradation, the overcomers whom the Lord is calling and is desiring to obtain in Revelation 2 and 3.

　　This wonderful faith and this super-excellent love are out of the Triune God, who earnestly desires to be joined to us to be our everything. This Triune God passed through the process of incarnation, crucifixion, resurrection from the dead, and ascension to the heavens on high and was ultimately consummated as the life-giving Spirit (1 Cor. 15:45). This Spirit of life (Rom. 8:2), who includes divinity, humanity, and Christ’s crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension and is the reality of the all-inclusive Christ (John 14:16-20), dwells in our regenerated spirit (Rom. 8:16; 2 Tim. 4:22). When we contact this Triune God through prayer and by looking to Him, by means of our spirit, which was once dead and was made alive, He infuses Himself into us in many ways to become the faith within us toward Him and the love outside of us toward those who belong to Him. Such faith and such love are the reality and expression (1 John 4:8, 16) of the Triune God—the Father, the Son, and the Spirit—in whom we believe and whom we worship and receive. (Titus 3:15, footnote 1)
