晨興餧養

約壹四１３～１５　『神已將祂的靈賜給我們，在此就知道我們住在祂裏面，祂也住在我們裏面。父差子作世人的救主，這是我們所看見，現在又作見證的。凡承認耶穌是神兒子的，神就住在他裏面，他也住在神裏面。』

仇敵的一項狡計是…否認三一神對我們是主觀的，為著給我們經歷並享受。他們把神聖的三一僅僅陳述為宗教的客觀道理。…但聖經啟示三一神不僅是我們信仰的對象；祂對我們乃是主觀的，住在我們裏面作我們的生命和生命的供應。我們每天，甚至每時每刻都需要這樣經歷祂並享受祂。（約翰一書生命讀經，三四六頁。）

信息選讀

聖經清楚的啟示，三一神經過成為肉體、為人生活、釘十字架、復活、升天等過程以後，已經完成於包羅萬有的靈，這靈已經來住在我們的靈裏。阿利路亞，這奇妙、包羅萬有的靈住在我們人的靈裏！…人可以比作電晶體收音機。這樣的收音機有個接收器，能接收無線電波。收音機只要調得正確，就會發出音樂。我們可以說我們人就像電晶體收音機，接收器就是我們人的靈。只要我們的接收器調得正確，我們就享受屬天的音樂。這個例子說明對三一神的享受，這三一神如今乃是賜生命的靈，住在我們重生之人的靈裏。…我們乃是憑著我們的靈接觸、享受並經歷那包羅萬有的靈。

照著聖經，我們剛強的見證，我們的主今天不僅是三一神的一部分—祂乃是整個三一神的具體化身，是子同著父且成為靈。今天在我們的經歷中，祂就是那靈，是子同著父的實際，作我們的生命，給我們享受。我們明白祂是這樣奇妙的一位，就不在意死的道理、虛空的宗教或無意義的儀式。我們所關切的是每天對三一神有經歷、有享受。

我們可以用喫東西為例，說明以享受和經歷三一神的方式學知三一神的事。…你越喫一種食物，就越認識那種食物。這認識不是道理的，乃是經歷的。同樣的，我們藉著享受並經歷三一神，就認識了祂。我們僅僅憑著道理，不可能認識三一神。但我們藉著享受並經歷祂，就能認識祂。

照著聖經，我們教導父、子、靈是一。以賽亞九章六節說，有一子賜給我們，但是祂名稱為永在的父，或永遠的父。這符合約翰福音所記載主論到祂自己和父的話。主耶穌說，祂（子）在父的名裏來。（約五43。）主從來沒有說到祂自己是子又是父，但主的確說，祂是子，在父的名裏來。主在約翰十四章也說，我們看見了祂，就是看見了父。（9。）不僅如此，主在這一章說，祂在父裏面，父在祂裏面。（10～11。）所以祂在十章三十節說，父與子原是一。我們承認子，就連父也有了。（約壹二23。）而且祂也是那靈。（林後三17。）我們有祂住在我們裏面，也就有了父和那靈。你裏面不是有主耶穌麼？的確有。你裏面不是也有父和那靈麼？當然也有。這就是說，父、子、靈都在你裏面。那麼，我們裏面有多少位？我們從經歷知道，我們裏面只有一位。住在我們裏面的這一位，乃是三一神，父、子、靈。（約翰一書生命讀經，三四六至三四七、二二一至二二二頁。）

WEEK 30 — DAY 1

Morning Nourishment

1 John 4:13-15 In this we know that we abide in Him and He in us, that He has given to us of His Spirit. And we have beheld and testify that the Father has sent the Son as the Savior of the world. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him and he in God.

One subtlety of the enemy…is to deny that the Triune God is subjective to us for experience and enjoyment and to present the Divine Trinity merely as an objective doctrine for religion…But the Bible reveals that the Triune God is not merely the object of our faith; He is subjective to us, dwelling in us to be our life and life supply. Daily, even hourly, we need to experience Him and enjoy Him in this way. (Life-study of 1 John, p. 284)

Todays Reading

The Bible reveals clearly that the Triune God, after passing through the process of incarnation, human living, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension, has consummated in the all-inclusive Spirit, who has come to dwell in our spirit. Hallelujah for the wonderful all-inclusive Spirit dwelling in our human spirit! A human being can be compared to a transistor radio. Such a radio has a receiving apparatus that enables it to receive radio waves. When the radio is tuned properly, it will play music. We may say that we human beings are like transistor radios and that the receiving apparatus is our human spirit. When our receiver is properly tuned, we enjoy heavenly music. This is an illustration of the enjoyment of the Triune God, who is now the life-giving Spirit dwelling in our regenerated human spirit…It is by our spirit that we touch, enjoy, and experience the all-inclusive Spirit.

According to the Scriptures, we testify strongly that our Lord today is not merely a part of the Triune God—He is the embodiment of the entire Triune God, the Son with the Father and as the Spirit. In our experience today, He is the Spirit as the reality of the Son with the Father to be our life for our enjoyment. Realizing that He is such a wonderful One, we do not care for dead doctrines, vain religion, or meaningless rituals. Our concern is to have the daily experience and enjoyment of the Triune God.

We may use eating food as an illustration of learning the things of the Triune God in the way of enjoying and experiencing Him…The more you eat a particular food, the more you will come to know it. This knowledge is not doctrinal; it is experiential. In a similar way, we come to know the Triune God by enjoying and experiencing Him. It is impossible for us to know the Triune God merely by doctrine. But we can know Him by enjoying and experiencing Him.

According to the Bible, we teach that the Father, the Son, and the Spirit are one. Isaiah 9:6 says that a Son has been given to us, yet His name is called the eternal Father. This matches the Lord’s word concerning Himself and the Father recorded in the Gospel of John. The Lord Jesus said that He, the Son, came in the name of the Father (5:43). The Lord never said of Himself that He was the Son and the Father. But He did say that He was the Son coming in the Father’s name. In chapter 14 of the Gospel of John, the Lord also said that if we see Him, we see the Father (v. 9). Furthermore, in this chapter the Lord said that He is in the Father and the Father is in Him (vv. 10-11). So He said in John 10:30 that the Father and the Son are one. When we confess Him, we also have the Father (1 John 2:23). Furthermore, He is also the Spirit (2 Cor. 3:17). When we have Him dwelling in us, we also have both the Father and the Spirit. Do you not have the Lord Jesus in you? Surely you do. Do you not also have the Father and the Spirit in you? You certainly also have both the Father and the Spirit in you. This means that the Father, the Son, and the Spirit are all in you. How many, then, do we have within us? From experience we know that we have only One within us. This One who dwells in us is the Triune God—the Father, the Son, and the Spirit. (Life-study of 1 John, pp. 284-285, 179-180)
