启三8 ……你稍微有一点能力，也曾遵守我的话，没有否认我的名。

　　弗六24 愿恩典与一切在不朽坏之中，爱我们主耶稣基督的人同在。

　　在启示录三章八节主又说，在非拉铁非的召会没有否认祂的名。……话是主的发表，名是主自己。背道的召会偏离了主的话，成了异端。虽然改革的召会多少有点恢复到主的话上，但他们否认了主的名，以许多别的名称呼自己，如路德会、卫斯理会、圣公会、长老会、浸信会等。恢复的召会不但完全回到主的话上，也弃绝了主耶稣基督之外一切的名。……召会如同贞洁的童女许配基督（林后十一2），除了她丈夫的名以外，不该有别的名。……在恢复的召会生活里，没有巴兰的教训（启二14），没有尼哥拉党的教训（15），没有耶洗别的教训（20），也没有撒但深奥之事（24），唯有主纯正的话。……从主的话偏离到各种异端，并在基督的名以外高举许多的名，是堕落的基督教最显著的记号；从一切的异端、传统回到纯正的话，并弃绝一切别的名，高举主的名，是恢复的召会中最感人的见证。这就是为何主恢复中的召会，有主的启示和同在，并且活泼地彰显主，满了亮光和生命的丰富（启示录生命读经，二二三至二二四页）。

　　Rev. 3:8 …You have a little power and have kept My word and have not denied My name.

　　Eph. 6:24 Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ in incorruptibility.

　　In Revelation 3:8 the Lord…said that the church in Philadelphia did not deny His name…The word is the Lord’s expression, and the name is the Lord Himself. The apostate church has deviated from the Lord’s word and become heretical. The reformed church, though recovered to the Lord’s word to some extent, has denied the Lord’s name by denominating herself, taking many other names, such as Lutheran, Wesleyan, Anglican, Presbyterian, and Baptist. The recovered church has not only returned to the Lord’s word in a full way but has also abandoned all names other than that of the Lord Jesus Christ…The church, as the pure virgin espoused to Christ (2 Cor. 11:2), should have no name other than her Husband’s…In the recovered church life there are no teachings of Balaam (Rev. 2:14), no teachings of the Nicolaitans (v. 15), no teachings of Jezebel (v. 20), and no mysterious doctrines of Satan (v. 24); there is only the pure word of the Lord…The deviation from the word to heresies and the exalting of many names other than that of Christ are the most striking signs of degraded Christianity. The return to the pure word from all heresies and traditions and the exalting of the Lord’s name by abandoning every other name constitute the most inspiring testimony in the recovered church. This is why the church in the Lord’s recovery has the revelation and presence of the Lord and expresses the Lord in a living way, full of light and with the riches of life. (Life-study of Revelation, p. 181)

　　在非拉铁非的召会，就是恢复中的召会（启三7~13）。非拉铁非，原文意弟兄相爱。……正如在撒狄的召会所预表改革的召会，是对在推雅推喇的召会所预表背道天主教的反应，照样，弟兄相爱的召会，也是对死的、改革的召会的反应（启示录生命读经，二一五页）。

　　我们可以告诉新人：“每当你呼求祂的名：‘哦，主耶稣’，你里面就感觉甜美。……你若呼求别人的名，不会有这样的感觉；但你呼求主耶稣，说，‘耶稣，我爱你’，就会留意到有所不同。不但如此，你的呼求越深、越高、越丰富，你里面这感觉就越加强。呼求主名使你喜乐，甚至狂喜。你甚至会因喜乐而跳跃。这证明基督又真又活。每当你有难处、问题、艰难或困苦，可以呼求：‘哦，主耶稣。’”这样我们就能将一篇信息传给新受浸的人，帮助他们认识耶稣基督这位活的灵。我们若这样登门访人，给他们施浸，并教导他们耶稣的事，我们就会真正得复兴。

　　不但如此，这复兴是在爱里。“在爱里”这辞在以弗所书里用了六次（一4，三17，四2、15~16，五2）。这是原先在神里的爱，成了属基督并在基督里的爱，并且已灌注到我们这人里面，成为我们对祂的爱。神的爱不是静默的爱，而是运行的爱，在我们里面作工，将我们挑旺起来爱祂。……神先爱我们，将祂的爱注入我们里面，并在我们里面生发我们用以爱祂和爱弟兄们的爱（约壹四19~21）。我们爱主，不仅因为祂爱我们，也因着祂永远的定旨、心头的喜悦和美意。我们爱耶稣，因为祂有一个计划，要得着召会作祂的身体。今天我们的爱比已往我们所有的爱更高、更深且更丰富。从前，我们用自私的爱来爱耶稣，但如今我们爱祂，是因为祂已赐下使徒、申言者、传福音者，以及牧人和教师来成全众圣徒，作他们所作同样的事（李文集一九八八年第一册，六七○至六七二页）。

　　参读：新约总论，第二百三十八篇。

　　The church in Philadelphia [is] the church in recovery (Rev. 3:7-13). In Greek Philadelphia means “brotherly love.”…Just as the reformed church, prefigured by the church in Sardis, was a reaction to the apostate Catholic Church, prefigured by the church in Thyatira, so the church of brotherly love was a reaction to the dead reformed church. (Life-study of Revelation, p. 175)

　　We can tell [a] new one, “Whenever you call on His name, ‘O Lord Jesus,’ you sense something sweet within you…If you call on anyone else’s name, you will not have this kind of sense, but when you call on the Lord Jesus and say, ‘Jesus, I love You,’ you will notice the difference. Moreover, the deeper, higher, and richer your calling is, the more this sense within you will intensify. Calling on the name of the Lord will make you happy, even ecstatic. You may even jump for joy. This proves that Christ is real and living. Whenever you have problems, questions, difficulties, or hardships, you can call, ‘O Lord Jesus.’” In this way we can pass on a message to the newly baptized one, helping him to know Jesus Christ as the living Spirit. If we visit people in their homes, baptize them, and teach them concerning Jesus in this way, we will truly be revived.

　　Moreover, this revival is in love. The phrase in love is used six times in Ephesians (1:4; 3:17; 4:2, 15-16; 5:2). This is the love that originally was in God, that became the love of Christ and in Christ, and that has been transfused into our being to become our love toward Him. The love of God is not a silent love. Rather, it is an operating love, working in us to stir us up to love Him…God first loved us in that He infused us with His love and generated within us the love with which we love Him and the brothers [1 John 4:19-21]. We love the Lord not only because He loves us but also because of His eternal purpose, heart’s delight, and good pleasure. We love Jesus because He has a plan to gain the church as His Body. Our love today is higher, deeper, and richer than the love that we had in the past. Previously, we loved Jesus with a selfish love, but now we love Him because He has given apostles, prophets, evangelists, and shepherds and teachers to perfect all the saints to do the same things that they do. (CWWL, 1988, vol. 1, p. 495)
