诗一三三3　　又好比黑门的甘露，降在锡安山；因为在那里有耶和华所命定的福，就是永远的生命。

　　林后十二9　　……我的恩典够你用的，因为我的能力，是在人的软弱上显得完全。所以我极其喜欢夸我的软弱，好叫基督的能力覆庇我。

　　根据诗篇一百三十三篇三节，一……像甘露降在锡安山。膏油是在亚伦这个人的身上，但甘露是降在锡安这个地方。甘露表征生命的恩典（彼前三7）。生命的恩典就是生命的供应。在召会生活中，我们不仅在膏油之下，我们也接受生命的供应，生命的恩典。当我们被膏油涂抹，我们也就蒙了恩典。

　　使徒保罗曾丰富地经历到主的恩典。他三次祷告，求主把那使他痛苦的“刺”除去。但主回答说，祂的恩典够他用的〔林后十二8~9上〕。主用这话指明，祂不去掉保罗的刺，却要供应保罗够用的恩典（李文集一九七九年第二册，三九三至三九四页）。

　　Psa. 133:3 Like the dew of Hermon that came down upon the mountains of Zion. For there Jehovah commanded the blessing: life forever.

　　2 Cor. 12:9 … My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness. Most gladly therefore I will rather boast in my weaknesses that the power of Christ might tabernacle over me.

　　According to Psalm 133:3, the oneness is … like the dew that descends upon the mountains of Zion. The anointing oil is upon the person, Aaron, but the dew is upon the place, Zion. The dew signifies the grace of life (1 Pet. 3:7). The grace of life is the supply of life. In the church life we are not only under the anointing; we also receive the supply, the grace, of life. As we are anointed, we are also graced.

　　The apostle Paul abundantly experienced the Lord’s grace. Three times he prayed that the “thorn” that was afflicting him would be removed. The Lord replied that His grace was sufficient for Paul. By this word the Lord indicated that He would not take away the thorn, but He would supply Paul with His sufficient grace. (CWWL, 1979, vol. 2, “The Genuine Ground of Oneness,” pp. 299-300)

　　〔在召会中〕我们经历经过过程之三一神膏油的涂抹，如同“油漆”。自然而然的，我们享受经过过程的神作恩典，作我们生命的供应，为着我们的享受。借着这恩典，我们能过一种生活，是世人所无法过的。弟兄们能爱他们的妻子到极点，姊妹们也能完全服从她们的丈夫。借着在锡安山上所接受的恩典，我们能活出这种生活来。

　　召会乃是接受膏油的团体人，也是甘露降下的地方，我们绝不该轻看这事的重要性。如果我们在这两方面离开了召会，我们就不再有分于膏油的涂抹，也与甘露的享受无分了。别的基督徒也许批评我们为召会生活作这样的见证。……这些信徒也许会说，只要他们祷告、读经，他们即使在召会生活之外也能充分的经历主。……不错，我们自己在家里能读经、祷告，我们如此作也能得到某种度量的恩典。但这样度量的恩典，绝对比不上我们在召会中所得到的那么甜美、丰富、有力、感人、充足。我能作见证，不管召会的聚会是高是低，是富是贫，只要来到聚会中，我都经历到膏油与甘露。我越多来到聚会中，就越蒙保守在主的恩典中。但那些脱离召会生活的人，就把自己从恩典的全备供应切断了。若不是主的怜悯，过一段时间，他们可能完全跑回世界去了。

　　只要参加聚会，我们就蒙保守，因为甘露仍然降在锡安山。因此，只要在聚会中，我们就在滋润的甘露之下（李文集一九七九年第二册，四○八至四一○页）。

　　我们乃是靠着恩典的能力，恩典的力量，以及恩典的生命，才能与神、与人，甚至与自己都是对的。恩典产生义。……所以罗马五章二十一节说，“恩典……借着义作王，叫人……得永远的生命。”因此，义和恩典总是联在一起。

　　我们是义的，不是因着自己，乃是因着恩典。……义不仅对挪亚成了夸耀，对神也是夸耀。神能向祂的仇敌夸耀。神能以挪亚的义向那弯曲悖谬的世代夸耀。挪亚的义加强了神的立场，来执行祂对那不敬虔世代的审判（创世记生命读经，四六三至四六四页）。

　　[In the church] we experience the anointing, the “painting,” of the processed Triune God. Simultaneously, we enjoy the processed God as grace, as the life supply for our enjoyment. By this grace we can live a life that is impossible for people in the world to live. The brothers can love their wives to the uttermost, and the sisters can submit to their husbands in a full way. Such a living is possible through the grace we receive on the mountains of Zion.

　　We should never underestimate the importance of the church as a corporate person who receives the ointment and as the place under the descending dew. If we separate ourselves from the church in these two aspects, we have no further share in the anointing, and we are finished with the enjoyment of the dew. Other Christians may criticize us for bearing such a testimony concerning the church life…These believers may say that as long as they pray and read the Bible, they can experience the Lord in a full way outside the church life…Yes, we can pray and read the Word alone at home. When we do this, we receive a certain amount of grace. This measure of grace, however, is not as sweet, rich, powerful, inspiring, or sufficient as the grace we receive in the church. I can testify that, no matter whether the meetings of the church are high or low, rich or poor, I experience the ointment and the dew whenever I come to the meetings. The more I come to the meetings, the more I am preserved in the Lord’s grace. Those, on the contrary, who separate themselves from the church life, cut themselves off from the full supply of grace. Apart from the Lord’s mercy, they may find themselves wholly back in the world after a certain period of time.

　　Simply by attending the meetings, we are preserved, for the dew still descends upon the mountains of Zion. Thus, simply by being in the meetings, we are under the watering dew. (CWWL, 1979, vol. 2, “The Genuine Ground of Oneness,” pp. 310-311)

　　It is by the power of grace, the strength of grace, and the life of grace that we can be right with God, with one another, and even with ourselves. Grace produces righteousness …Therefore, Romans 5:21 says that “grace might reign through righteousness unto eternal life.” Thus, righteousness and grace always go together.

　　We are not righteous because of ourselves, but because of grace… Righteousness not only became a boast to Noah; it was also a boast to God. God was able to boast to His enemy. God could boast of Noah’s righteousness to that crooked and perverse generation. Noah’s righteousness strengthened God’s standing to execute His judgment upon that ungodly generation. (Life-study of Genesis, p. 381)
