我们需要看见神的生命在人里面所遇到的难处：
We need to see the obstacles that God's life encounters in man:
We need to see the obstacles that God's life encounters in man:
一
神的生命在我们里面所遇到的第一个难处，就是我们不认识我们人的观念乃是黑暗的：
The first problem that God's life encounters in us is that we do not realize the darkness of our human concepts:
The first problem that God's life encounters in us is that we do not realize the darkness of our human concepts:
１
我们需要看见，活的基督在我们里面，我们怎样对待祂，是基督徒生活中惟一值得关切的事─加一16，二20，四19，腓一19~21，弗四13，林后三18。
We need to see that the only thing that matters in the Christian life is how we take care of the living Christ in us—Gal. 1:16; 2:20; 4:19; Phil. 1:19-21; Eph. 4:13; 2 Cor. 3:18.
We need to see that the only thing that matters in the Christian life is how we take care of the living Christ in us—Gal. 1:16; 2:20; 4:19; Phil. 1:19-21; Eph. 4:13; 2 Cor. 3:18.
２
作基督徒就是不以基督以外的任何事物为对象；许多人得救后，所以有属灵生命上的难处，都是因为他们不认识生命的道路，不以基督作生命。
Being a Christian means not taking anything other than Christ as our aim; many people have difficulty in their spiritual life after they are saved because they do not know the pathway of life, and they do not take Christ as their life.
Being a Christian means not taking anything other than Christ as our aim; many people have difficulty in their spiritual life after they are saved because they do not know the pathway of life, and they do not take Christ as their life.
二
生命在我们里面所遇到的第二个难处，就是假冒─太六2，5，七5，二三13~29：
The second problem that life encounters in us is hypocrisy—Matt. 6:2, 5; 7:5; 23:13-29:
The second problem that life encounters in us is hypocrisy—Matt. 6:2, 5; 7:5; 23:13-29:
１
一个人是否属灵，不在于外面的表现，乃在于他如何对待内住的基督。
A person's spirituality is not determined by outward appearance but by how he takes care of the indwelling Christ.
A person's spirituality is not determined by outward appearance but by how he takes care of the indwelling Christ.
２
我们天然的良善乃是假冒的属灵，这是生命的一个大难处；生命的彰显就是不理睬我们的天性，不管我们的爱好，让我们里面的基督，简单的在我们里面运行，破碎我们。
Our natural goodness is false spirituality and is actually a great hindrance to life; the expression of life involves the rejection of our natural disposition and preference and simply allowing Christ to operate in us and break us.
Our natural goodness is false spirituality and is actually a great hindrance to life; the expression of life involves the rejection of our natural disposition and preference and simply allowing Christ to operate in us and break us.
３
若是我们凡事都凭天性、天然去作，其结果无论是什么都是假冒。
If we always do things according to our disposition and natural being, the outcome will always be hypocrisy.
If we always do things according to our disposition and natural being, the outcome will always be hypocrisy.
三
生命在我们里面所遇到的第三个难处，就是悖逆：
The third problem that life encounters in us is rebellion:
The third problem that life encounters in us is rebellion:
１
基督在我们里面运行，给我们感动，叫我们明明知道祂要我们作什么，祂向我们要求什么，要带领我们什么，对付我们什么。
Christ operates and moves in us in order to make us clear about His will and requirements for us and about His leading and dealing with us.
Christ operates and moves in us in order to make us clear about His will and requirements for us and about His leading and dealing with us.
２
然而我们若不顺服，一味的违反我们里面的感觉，不接受带领，也不肯出代价，这样的反叛、顶撞，就是悖逆。
However, if we do not obey but go against the feeling within, not accepting His leading or paying the price, this unwillingness and opposition are rebellion.
However, if we do not obey but go against the feeling within, not accepting His leading or paying the price, this unwillingness and opposition are rebellion.
３
我们所犯的罪，最多、最厉害的，还不是外面看得见的罪行，乃是里面那些违背基督所给我们感觉的罪恶；基督活在我们里面，祂一直给我们里面生命的感觉─罗八6，约壹二27。
The sin that we commit the most frequently and most severely is not outward and visible; rather, it is the sin of disobeying the sense of Christ in us; Christ is living in us, and He is constantly giving us an inward sense of life—Rom. 8:6; 1 John 2:27.

四
生命在我们里面所遇到的第四个难处，就是我们天然的干才：
The fourth problem that life encounters in us is our natural capability:
The fourth problem that life encounters in us is our natural capability:
１
许多弟兄姊妹都非常爱主，也为主热心，实在是敬虔的；然而，他们身上最厉害的难处，就是他们的干才太大，本事太高，使得基督在他们身上没有地位，没有出路。
Many brothers and sisters truly love the Lord, are zealous for the Lord, and are very godly; nevertheless, their greatest problem is the strength and greatness of their capabilities and abilities; consequently, Christ has no ground or way in them.
Many brothers and sisters truly love the Lord, are zealous for the Lord, and are very godly; nevertheless, their greatest problem is the strength and greatness of their capabilities and abilities; consequently, Christ has no ground or way in them.
２
我们可能有干才，有本能，却认为这不是罪恶，不是污秽；我们没有轻看这些天然的干才，反而宝贝这些干才；这在我们身上若是一直牢不可破，就会成为基督生命的难处。
We may be capable and talented, but we do not consider these things as sin or filthiness; instead of despising our natural capabilities, we treasure them; if they remain unbroken in us, they will become a problem to Christ's life.
We may be capable and talented, but we do not consider these things as sin or filthiness; instead of despising our natural capabilities, we treasure them; if they remain unbroken in us, they will become a problem to Christ's life.
五
这些难处在我们身上，只有一个出路，就是经过十字架，让十字架来破碎；我们要基督的生命在我们里面不受限制，就必须经历十字架的破碎，让这些难处受到对付并被除掉─太十六24~25。
There is one solution to all these obstacles in us—we must pass through the cross and let the cross break us; if we want Christ's life to be unhindered in us, we must experience the breaking of the cross and allow these obstacles to be dealt with and removed— Matt. 16:24-25.

参
吃生命树，就是享受基督作我们生命的供应，该是召会生活中首要的事─启二7，约六57：
Eating the tree of life, that is, enjoying Christ as our life supply, should be the primary matter in the church life—Rev. 2:7; John 6:57:
Eating the tree of life, that is, enjoying Christ as our life supply, should be the primary matter in the church life—Rev. 2:7; John 6:57:
一
召会生活的内容在于享受基督；我们越享受基督，召会生活的内容就越丰富；我们若要享受基督，就必须用起初的爱爱祂─启二4。
The content of the church life depends on the enjoyment of Christ; the more we enjoy Him, the richer the content will be, but to enjoy Christ requires us to love Him with the first love—Rev. 2:4.
The content of the church life depends on the enjoyment of Christ; the more we enjoy Him, the richer the content will be, but to enjoy Christ requires us to love Him with the first love—Rev. 2:4.
二
我们若离弃对主起初的爱，就要失去对基督的享受，并且会失去耶稣的见证；结果，灯台要从我们挪去。
If we leave our first love toward the Lord, we will miss the enjoyment of Christ and lose the testimony of Jesus; consequently, the lampstand will be removed from us.
If we leave our first love toward the Lord, we will miss the enjoyment of Christ and lose the testimony of Jesus; consequently, the lampstand will be removed from us.
三
爱主、享受主、以及成为主的见证，这三者乃是并行的。
These three things—loving the Lord, enjoying the Lord, and being the testimony of the Lord—go together.
These three things—loving the Lord, enjoying the Lord, and being the testimony of the Lord—go together.
肆
以起初的爱、上好的爱爱主，就是在凡事上让主居首位，居第一位，受祂爱的困迫，在我们的生活中以祂为一切，接受祂作一切─4节，西一18下，林后五14~15，可十二30，诗七三25~26，八十17~19：
To love the Lord with the first love, the best love, is to give the Lord the preeminence, the first place, in all things, being constrained by His love to regard and take Him as everything in our life—v. 4; Col. 1:18b; 2 Cor. 5:14-15; Mark 12:30; Psa. 73:25-26; 80:17-19:

一
每个人对主的爱的起点，都是从看见主的身位而来的；离弃对主起初的爱，是历世代以来召会失败的根源和主要的原因；惟有爱能保守我们与主有正确的关系─腓三8，太二六6~13，弗三16~19，六24，启二4~5，参三20。

二

以起初的爱爱主，在凡事上让祂居首位，乃是在我们所是并所作的一切上让生命的流，就是主耶稣在我们里面的流居首位；如此祂就在我们里面作照耀者、救赎者、掌权者、涌流者与供应者─结四七1，启二二1~2。
To love the Lord with the first love, to give Him the first place in all things, is to give the flow of life, the flow of the Lord Jesus within us, the preeminence in all that we are and do; then He is the shining One, the redeeming One, the reigning One, the flowing One, and the supplying One within us—Ezek. 47:1; Rev. 22:1-2.

以起初的爱爱主，在凡事上让祂居首位，乃是受调和的灵所管理、管治、指引、引导和推动，成为祂的俘虏并祷告：“主啊，使我作你的俘虏，绝不要让我得胜，要一直击败我，”借此顾到我们灵里的安息─林后二13~14。
To love the Lord with the first love, to give Him the first place in all things, is to be dominated, governed, directed, led, and moved by our mingled spirit, caring for the rest in our spirit by being His captives and by praying, "Lord, make me Your captive. Never let me win. Defeat me all the time"—2 Cor. 2:13-14.

以起初的爱爱主，在凡事上让祂居首位，乃是借着我们的赞美使祂登宝座；赞美是神的儿女最高的工作─诗二二3，一一九164，三四1。
