约一12~13　　凡接受祂的，就是信入祂名的人，祂就赐他们权柄，成为神的儿女。这等人…乃是从神生的。

　　三16　　神爱世人，甚至将祂的独生子赐给他们，叫一切信入祂的，不至灭亡，反得永远的生命。

　　信入主与信主（约六30）不同。信主乃是信祂是真的，是实的；信入主乃是接受祂，与祂联合为一。前者是客观的承认一个事实；后者是主观的接受一个生命（圣经恢复本，约三16注3）。

　　我还记得我悔改得救的情形，那是在我十九岁快二十岁的时候。我生在基督教，长在基督教，也在基督教里受教育。虽然我尚未得救，却已听了很多关于圣经的传讲和教训。但有一天下午，我听见了福音，在几个小时之内我成了另一个人。事实上乃是这“联结”的信改变了我。那时我从纯诚的心里，从全人的最深处，向神呼吁。那是分赐到我里面的信作了我信的元素，把我与奇妙的神联结在一起。信是我们得救的联结，把神联于我们，也把我们联于神。…我原是罪人，是神的仇敌，但我成了神人。这是因为有个东西联到我里面，与我联在一起，并且把我与神联结起来。那就是信（李文集一九九四至一九九七年第一册，三六三页）。

　　John 1:12-13 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the authority to become children of God, to those who believe into His name, who were begotten… of God.

　　3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that everyone who believes into Him would not perish, but would have eternal life.

　　Believing into the Lord is not the same as believing Him (John 6:30). To believe Him is to believe that He is true and real, but to believe into Him is to receive Him and be united with Him as one. The former is to acknowledge a fact objectively; the latter is to receive a life subjectively. (John 3:16, footnote 2)

　　I still remember my conversion when I was at the end of my nineteenth year of age. I was born into, raised up, and educated in Christianity. I had heard much preaching and teaching about the Bible, though I was not saved. But one afternoon I heard the gospel, and within a few hours I was a changed person. Actually, it was the linking faith that changed me. At that time from my sincere heart, from the depths of my being, I cried to God. That was the faith, imparted into me as my believing element, that linked me with the marvelous God. Faith is the linking of our salvation; it links God with us and links us to God… I was a sinner, an enemy of God, but I became a God-man. This is because something linked into me, linked with me, and linked me to God. That was faith. (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 1, “Crystallization-study of the Epistle to the Romans,” pp. 295-296)

　　信徒凭这信…，就是神儿子基督的信，而活基督（加二20下）。我们不能凭我们自己，或在我们自己里面活基督。我们乃是凭联结的机关活基督，这联结的机关乃是信。所以保罗在加拉太二章二十节说，他所活的生命，是他凭着信，就是神儿子耶稣的信所活的。保罗似乎是说，“我活基督，不是凭我的信，乃是凭神儿子耶稣的信；那不是我的信，乃是祂的信。”

　　你怎能活基督？你必须呼求祂，对祂说，“哦，主耶稣，我爱你。”你只要呼求祂，对祂说这么多，祂就要立即“跳”到你里面…。这位“跳”进来的耶稣作为信分赐到你里面，把你和祂联起来。这样，在一天之中你就无法不活基督。当你这样呼求祂时，祂就成了分赐到你里面的信，使你自然而然地凭这信活祂。

　　你应当在早晨起来的时候这样呼求祂。…你不必说太多，只要对主说一点就好了。当你这样对主说的时候，你就再一次得着里面的充满。基督要立即分赐到你里面作你的信。事实上，祂自己这信成了你的信，这就是联结的机关，把你联于无限无量的基督。

　　当我叫人呼求主的名，他们以为他们必须高声、一再地呼求祂。这固然没有错；无论我们用什么方式呼求主都是对的。…我们可以简单地说，“主耶稣，你知道我很忙。我必须赶到办公室去。主，我感谢你。”只要这样一点的呼求，你就得着灌输。基督这样灌输到你里面，就使你得着祂在你里面作你的信，这信就是联结的机关，把你和祂联在一起。这就是活基督的路。

　　凭信而行，意思就是，我们的行事为人是联于神，祂是全丰全足的。我们凭信而行，信就把我们联于祂。…主在路加十八章指明，我们也凭这信忍受逼迫。…在八节主说，“人子来的时候，在地上找得到信心么？”这意思是说，我们必须凭信忍受一切的逼迫，…而不受任何反对的威胁（李文集一九九四至一九九七年第一册，三六三至三六五、三七○页）。

　　The believers live Christ by this faith,… the faith of Christ, the Son of God (Gal. 2:20b). We cannot live Christ by and in ourselves. We live Christ by a linking organ. This linking organ is faith. So Paul says in Galatians 2:20 that the life that he lived, he lived by faith, the faith of Jesus the Son of God. It is as if Paul is saying, “I live Christ not by my faith but by the faith of Jesus the Son of God; that is not my faith but His faith.”

　　How could you live Christ? You need to call upon Him by saying, “O Lord Jesus, I love You.” Call on Him and say just this much to Him. Then right away He “jumps” within you… This “jumping” Jesus as the faith imparted into you links you with Him. Then you cannot help but live Him during the day. When you call on Him in this way, He becomes the faith imparted into you so that you spontaneously live Him by this faith.

　　You should call on Him in such a way when you arise in the morning… There is no need to say much. To speak to the Lord a little bit is good enough. When you say this to the Lord, you receive another infilling. Christ right away is imparted into you as your faith. Actually, He Himself as the faith becomes your faith, and this is the linking organ that links you to the unlimited, infinite Christ.

　　When I tell people to call on the name of the Lord, they think that they need to call on Him loudly and repeatedly. There is nothing wrong with this. Whatever way we call upon the Lord is right… We can just say a simple word: “Lord Jesus, You know I am too busy. I have to rush to go to the office. Thank You, Lord.” With just this little bit of calling, you are infused. The infusing of Christ in you causes you to have Him in you as your faith, which is the linking organ that links you with Him. This is the way to live Christ.

　　To walk by faith means that our walking is linked with God, and He is altogether rich. We walk by faith, and faith links us to Him. The Lord indicated that we also suffer persecution by this faith… In Luke 18:8 the Lord said, “When the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?” This means that we have to suffer all the persecutions by faith…, not being threatened by any kind of opposition. (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 1, “Crystallization-study of the Epistle to the Romans,” pp. 296-297, 301)
