生命与建造乃是整本圣经的两个关键辞─生命是神在基督里作为活的内容，建造乃是三一神团体的彰显─创二8~12，22，太十六18，弗三8~11，16~21：
Life and building are the two key words in the entire Bible—life is God in Christ as the living content, and building is the corporate expression of the Triune God—Gen. 2:8-12, 22; Matt. 16:18; Eph. 3:8-11, 16-21:

ａ
当主耶稣在地上时，人总是把关于善恶、对错、是非的问题带到祂面前来（约四20，八5，九2，十一21），但祂总是将他们指向生命（四21，八7，九3，十一25）。
When the Lord Jesus was on earth, people always brought questions to Him con-cerning good and evil, right and wrong, and yes and no (John 4:20; 8:5; 9:2; 11:21), but He always pointed them to life (4:21; 8:7; 9:3; 11:25).

三
召会作基督的身体，其内在的意义与属天的实际乃是由金灯台所预表，描绘三一神这活的金树，带着复活的生命生长、分枝、发芽并开花─出二五31~40，启一10~12，民十七8：

２
众地方召会乃是神达到祂永远经纶之目标的手续；我们需要在众地方召会里，好使我们被引进基督身体之实际（就是在耶路撒冷里的锡安）这个目标，作实际的金灯台─弗一22~23，四4，诗四八2，五十2，五一18，一〇二16，一二五1~2，一二八5：
The local churches are the procedure God takes to reach the goal of His eternal econ-omy; we need to be in the local churches so that we can be ushered into the goal of the reality of the Body of Christ (as Zion within Jerusalem) to be the golden lamp-stands in actuality—Eph. 1:22-23; 4:4; Psa. 48:2; 50:2; 51:18; 102:16; 125:1-2; 128:5:

四
在神终极的建造新耶路撒冷里，有生命河涌流给我们喝，有生命树长在生命河里给我们吃；这给我们看见，我们要有份于神的建造，除了借着生命并凭着生命之外，没有其他的路─启二二1~2。
In the New Jerusalem, God's ultimate building, there is the river of life flowing for us to drink and the tree of life growing in the river of life for us to eat; this shows that for us to partake of God's building, there is no other way but by life and with life—Rev. 22:1-2.

五

The constricted way leading to life is according to the divine regulations fulfilling the spiritual requests, to bring in God's elect, and to bear the testimony of Jesus Christ, and carrying out God's economy for the building up of the Body of Christ—Rom. 1:9; Heb. 11:5-6; Rev. 1:1-2, 9-10.

The way that leads to a living reward in life is the Way (Acts 9:2; 19:9, 23; 22:4; 24:22)— the way of the truth (2 Pet. 2:2), the straight way (v. 15), the way of righteousness (v. 21); the way of peace (Luke 1:79; Rom. 3:17); the way of salvation (Acts 16:17); the way of God (Matt. 22:16; Acts 18:26); and the way of the Lord (John 1:23; Acts 18:25); it is slandered as the way of heresy (24:14).

五
在主的恢复里，我们必须在灵里行事为人；在灵里行事为人约束我们，使我们过正常的基督徒生活，也使我们成为有活力并健康的信徒，为着神的建造，走生命的路─罗八4，加五16，22~23，帖前五16~18。
We in the Lord's recovery must walk in our spirit; walking in spirit restricts us, causing us to live a normal Christian life and making us vital, healthy believers who take the way of life for God's building—Rom. 8:4; Gal. 5:16, 22-23; 1 Thes. 5:16-18.
