加三5　　这样，那丰富供应你们那灵……的……。

　　2　　……你们接受了那灵，是本于行律法，还是本于听信仰？

　　加拉太一、二章与启示有关，说到神的儿子启示在我们里面，以及基督在我们里面活着。但我们转到经历，如我们在三章二节所看见的，我们就领悟到，我们所接受的那位乃是那灵。那灵就是神的儿子基督的人位。

　　接受那灵不是一次永远的。这像呼吸一样，是一生之久的事。这就是保罗在五节用现在式的原因。……这里保罗不是说神曾经供应那灵，或说祂将要供应那灵，他乃是说神正在供应那灵。因为神不断供应那灵，我们就需要不断接受那灵（加拉太书生命读经，四五○页）。

　　Gal. 3:5 He therefore who bountifully supplies to you the Spirit…

　　2 …Did you receive the Spirit out of the works of law or out of the hearing of faith?

　　Galatians 1 and 2 are concerned with revelation and speak of the Son of God revealed in us and Christ living in us. But when we turn to experience, as seen in 3:2, we realize that the One we receive is the Spirit. The Spirit is the very Person of Christ, the Son of God.

　　Receiving the Spirit does not take place once for all. Like breathing, it is a lifelong matter. This is the reason that in 3:5 Paul uses the present tense … Here Paul does not say that God supplied the Spirit or that He shall supply the Spirit; he says that God is supplying the Spirit. Because God is continually supplying the Spirit, we need to receive the Spirit continually. (Life-study of Galatians, p. 367)

　　基督的恩典乃是与我们的灵同在〔加六18〕。然而，许多基督徒只知道圣灵，对人的灵却一无所知。为这缘故，每当他们在新约里看到灵字，就以为是指圣灵。他们不知道一个事实：除了神的灵以外，圣经还说到人的灵。新约里有三节提到这两个灵。约翰三章六节说，“从那灵生的，就是灵。”四章二十四节说，“神是灵；敬拜祂的，必须在灵和真实里敬拜。”罗马八章十六节说，“那灵自己同我们的灵见证。”

　　神的灵与我们的灵对神今天的经纶都很要紧。那灵就是三一神；祂经过了成为肉体、人性生活、钉十字架与复活的过程，成了赐生命的灵（林前十五45）。现今这赐生命的灵住在我们的灵里，同我们的灵见证我们是神的儿子。林前六章十七节告诉我们，与主联合的，便是与主成为一灵。这清楚指明二灵已成为一。

　　〔加拉太六章十八节〕的恩典就是基督自己作我们的享受。今天基督这灵是在我们灵里，给我们经历并享受。对基督的这享受，就是与我们的灵同在的恩典。

　　我们只要借着呼求主的名，就可在我们灵里享受主。你知道为什么我们呼求主就享受祂？我们这样享受主，因为我们借着呼求主，自然而然就运用了我们的灵。例如，即使我无意操练我的腿与脚，但每当我走路的时候，自然就操练了我的腿与脚。同样，每当我们从里面深处呼求主，自然而然就运用了我们的灵。无论何时何地，我们都可借着呼求主的名，享受基督的丰富。我们这样呼求主，就凭着灵而行。呼求主也击败我们里面消极的事物。

　　假定一位已婚的年轻姊妹有脾气的难处。她真渴望作个好妻子、好母亲，她厌恶自己的脾气。然而，她无法胜过脾气。多年前，我不知道如何劝告受脾气难处困扰的人，现在我知道解除这困扰最好的路就是运用灵呼求主的名。我们借着这样呼求主，就吸入征服我们脾气的属灵元素。在我五十多年的经历，并与组织的基督教不同的各面接触过以后，我得了结论：享受主最好的路乃是呼求祂。

　　我们若从呼吸“毕业”，我们就无法活下去。照样，我们若停止呼求主的名，在属灵上我们也无法活下去。……哦，我们何等需要呼求主耶稣，使我们享受祂作我们的恩典……。我鼓励你们借着呼求主耶稣，作属灵的呼吸（加拉太书生命读经，四七○至四七三页）。

　　The grace of Christ is with our spirit (Gal. 6:18). However, many Christians know only of the Holy Spirit; they do not know anything of the human spirit. For this reason, whenever they see the word spirit in the New Testament, they assume that it refers to the Holy Spirit. They are ignorant of the fact that besides the Spirit of God, the Bible speaks of the human spirit. Three verses in the New Testament mention these two spirits. John 3:6 says, “That which is born of the Spirit is spirit”; 4:24, “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit”; Romans 8:16, “The Spirit Himself witnesses with our spirit.”

　　The Spirit of God and our spirit are both crucial for God’s economy today. The Spirit is the very Triune God who has passed through the process of incarnation, human living, crucifixion, and resurrection to become the life-giving Spirit (1 Cor. 15:45). This life-giving Spirit now dwells in our spirit and witnesses with our spirit that we are sons of God. First Corinthians 6:17 tells us that he who is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.

　　This is a clear indication that the two spirits have become one. Grace [in Galatians 6:18] is Christ Himself as our enjoyment. Today Christ as the Spirit is in our spirit for our experience and enjoyment. This enjoyment of Christ is the very grace that is with our spirit.

　　We may enjoy the Lord in our spirit simply by calling on His name. Do you know why we enjoy the Lord when we call on Him? We enjoy Him in this way because by calling on the Lord we automatically exercise our spirit. For example, even though I may not have the intention to exercise my legs and feet, I spontaneously exercise them whenever I walk. In like manner, whenever we call on the Lord from deep within, we automatically exercise our spirit. Anywhere and at any time we may enjoy the riches of Christ by calling on the Lord’s name. By calling on the Lord in this way we walk by the Spirit. Calling on the Lord also defeats the negative things within us.

　　Suppose a young married sister has a problem with her temper. She earnestly desires to be a good wife and mother, and she loathes her temper. However, she has no way to overcome it. Years ago, I did not know how to advise someone plagued by the problem of temper. Now I know that the best cure for this plague is to call on the name of the Lord with the exercise of the spirit. By calling on the Lord in this way we breathe in a spiritual element which subdues our temper. After more than fifty years of experience and after having contacted many different aspects of organized Christianity, I have come to the conclusion that the best way to enjoy the Lord is to call on Him.

　　Just as we cannot stay alive if we “graduate” from breathing, so we cannot live spiritually if we stop calling on the name of the Lord …Oh, how we need to call on the Lord Jesus that we may enjoy Him as our grace… I encourage you to breathe spiritually by calling on the Lord Jesus. (Life-study of Galatians, pp. 384-386)
