第二篇　借着保守那灵的一，实行同心合意
Message Two Practicing the One Accord by Keeping the Oneness of the Spirit
读经：弗四1~4
Scripture Reading: Ephesians 4:1-4
壹　基督身体的一，乃是那灵的一;保守那灵的一，就是实行同心合意─弗四3：
I.　The oneness of the Body of Christ is the oneness of the Spirit, and to keep the oneness of the Spirit is to practice the one accord—Eph. 4:3:
一　神惟一赐恩、祝福的就是同心合意，就是一的实行;同心合意是开启新约中一切福分的万能钥匙─诗一三三，徒一14：
A.　God will only grace and bless the one accord, that is, the practice of the oneness; the one accord is the master key to every blessing in the New Testament—Psa. 133; Acts 1:14:
1　一乃是三一神与众圣徒完全的调和─约十七2，6，11，14，17，21~22，弗四4~6。
1.　Oneness is the full mingling of the Triune God with the saints—John 17:2, 6, 11, 14, 17, 21-22; Eph. 4:4-6.
2　一废除了天然的人、世界、撒但和己─罗十六20。
2.　Oneness nullifies the natural man, the world, Satan, and the self—Rom. 16:20.
二　当我们实行正确的同心合意时，我们必须认识作为基督独一身体之召会的属性;召会的每一个属性都是一─一个身体、一位灵、一主、一神、一信、一浸并一望─弗四4~6。
B.　When we practice the proper one accord, we must realize the attributes of the church as the unique Body of Christ; every attribute of the church is one—one Body, one Spirit, one Lord, one God, one faith, one baptism, and one hope— Eph. 4:4-6.
三　在召会里正确的同心合意，乃是实行身体真正的一─太十八19：
C.　The proper one accord in the church is the practice of the genuine oneness of the Body—Matt. 18:19:
1　要实行同心合意，我们必须在一个灵里，同有一个魂─腓一27。
1.　To practice the one accord, we must be in one spirit and with one soul— Phil. 1:27.

2.　To practice the one accord, we must be attuned in the same mind and in the same opinion—1 Cor. 1:10.
3　我们照着神，而不是照着道理或作法接纳人，就证示并维持基督身体的一─罗十四3，十五7。
3.　When we receive people according to God and not according to doctrine or practice, we demonstrate and maintain the oneness of the Body of Christ— Rom. 14:3; 15:7.
四　当我们同心合意时，我们都用同一的口，说同样的话─6节：
D.　Whenever we are in one accord, we speak the same thing; we speak with one mouth—Rom. 15:6:
1　这一与巴别的光景相反;在巴别，由于人类的分裂，他们的语言被变乱，分为许多不同的言语─创十一7，9。
1.　This oneness is the reverse of Babel, where the division among mankind caused their language to become confused and divided into many different speakings—Gen. 11:7, 9.
2　要同心同口惟一的路，就是让基督在我们的心里和口中有一切的地位，使神得荣耀─弗三16~17 ，路六45。
2.　The only way to be with one accord and one mouth is to allow Christ the room to everything in our heart and in our mouth that God may be glorified—Eph. 3:16-17; Luke 6:45.
贰　新约启示，不仅众圣徒，甚至众召会，都必须同心合意：
II.　The New Testament reveals that not only all the saints but even all the churches must be in one accord:

3.　The seven churches differed abnormally only in the negative things, which were rebuked, judged, condemned, and corrected by the Lord for elimination—2:1a, 2, 4, 12a, 13-15, 18a, 20; 3:1-3, 14-15, 17.
二　七封书信是写给七个召会的一卷书─一4上：

F.　The church in Thessalonica imitated the churches in Judea—1 Thes. 2:14.

G.　All the books of the New Testament, as one New Testament, that is, as one book, were written not only to their receivers but also to all the saints and to all the churches universally, that is, through all the centuries—1 Cor. 1:2.
八　历世纪以来的众召会，应当效法在新约里所揭示众召会所有积极的方面。
H.　All the churches throughout the centuries should imitate all the churches unveiled in the New Testament in all their positive aspects.
叁　所有在基督里的信徒，都必须凭那由神圣属性所加强并丰富之变化过的人性美德，竭力保守这一，就是那灵的一─弗四1~4：
III.　This oneness, the oneness of the Spirit, must be kept diligently by all the believers in Christ with the transformed human virtues strengthened and enriched by and with the divine attributes—Eph. 4:1-4:
一　那灵的一，就是在我们灵里的那灵自己─3节：
A.　The oneness of the Spirit is the Spirit Himself who is in our spirit—v. 3:
1　我们若离开那灵而行动，就是分裂的，就失去了一─参林前一10，二14~15，三1。
1.　If we act apart from the Spirit, we are divisive and lose the oneness— cf. 1 Cor. 1:10; 2:14-15; 3:1.
