Scripture Reading: Col. 3:4; 1 Cor. 3:9; Matt. 16:18; Rev. 1:10-12; 4:5; 5:6; 2:7, 17; 3:20
壹　生命与建造乃是整本圣经两个关键的辞─生命是神在基督里作活的内容，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：
I.　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:
一　基督是我们的生命，（西三4，）召会是神的建造。（林前三9。）─引用经文
A.　Christ is our life (Col. 3:4), and the church is God's building (1 Cor. 3:9).
二　召会的建造是借着信徒在生命里长大，好使他们在生命里变化─6~12节，西二19：
B.　The building up of the church is by the believers' growing in life for their transformation in life—vv. 6-12; Col. 2:19:
1　长大的肢体乃是建造的肢体─弗四15~16。
1.　The growing members are the building members—Eph. 4:15-16.
2　建造基督的身体─神的召会，乃是将基督作生命树供应给人，使他们在基督里长大─林前三6：
2.　To build up the Body of Christ, the church of God, is to minister Christ as the tree of life to people for their growth in Christ—1 Cor. 3:6:
a　当主耶稣在地上的时候，问题总是到祂面前来，人要祂回答善恶、对错、是非，（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。）─引用经文
a.　When the Lord Jesus was on earth, people always brought questions to Him concerning 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).
b　“一个基督徒学习事奉神，为主作工，不能与知识善恶树发生关系。…只有摸生命树的人，他们的生活和工作才能存留到新耶路撒冷。”（倪柝声恢复职事过程中信息记录上册，八一页。）
b.　"In order to learn to serve God and to work for Him, a Christian must learn to stay away from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.…Only those who touch the tree of life will see their life and work remaining in the New Jerusalem" (Messages Given during the Resumption of Watchman Nee's Ministry, vol. 1, pp. 86-87).
三　召会作基督身体，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：
C.　The intrinsic significance and heavenly reality of the church as the Body of Christ is typified by the golden lampstand, portraying the Triune God as a living, golden tree, growing, branching, budding, and blossoming with resurrection life—Exo. 25:31-40; Rev. 1:10-12; Num. 17:8:
1　当我们得胜，回到基督作我们起初的爱时，我们就享受祂作生命，并发出神圣的光，在我们所在的地方持守耶稣的见证;不然，灯台就要从我们挪去─启一2，二4~7。
1.　When we overcome to return to Christ as our first love, we will enjoy Him as life and shine forth the divine light to keep the testimony of Jesus in our locality; otherwise, the lampstand will be removed from us—Rev. 1:2; 2:4-7.
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，诗一○二16，四八2，五十2，五一18，一二五1~2，一二八5：
2.　The local churches are the procedure God takes to reach the goal of His eternal economy; 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 lampstands in actuality—Eph. 1:22-23; 4:4; Psa. 102:16; 48:2; 50:2; 51:18; 125:1-2; 128:5:
a　我们要在基督身体的实际里，就需要完全在基督复活的生命里─彼前一3，弗二6，参创二21~24。
a.　In order to be in the reality of the Body of Christ, we need to be absolutely in the resurrection life of Christ—1 Pet. 1:3; Eph. 2:6; cf. Gen. 2:21-24.
b　当我们不凭天然的生命，而凭我们里面神圣的生命而活，我们就在复活里;这个结果就是基督的身体─腓三10~11，林前三12。
b.　When we do not live by our natural life but live by the divine life within us, we are in resurrection; the issue of this is the Body of Christ—Phil. 3:10-11; 1 Cor. 3:12.
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，我们要有分于神的建造，除了借着生命并凭着生命之外，没有其它的路─启二二1~2。
D.　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.
贰　在基督天上的职事里，神七倍加强的生机救恩，乃是要将堕落的召会带回到享受基督作生命，为着基督身体的建造，好终极完成新耶路撒冷，作神在生命里终极的建造─生命城─一4，三1，四5，五6，二二1~2：
II.　The sevenfold intensified organic salvation of God in Christ's heavenly ministry is to bring the degraded church back to the enjoyment of Christ as life for the building up of the Body of Christ to consummate the New Jerusalem as God's ultimate building in life, the city of life—1:4; 3:1; 4:5; 5:6; 22:1-2:
一　七倍加强赐生命的灵作工，拯救在以弗所召会中的信徒，使他们脱离形式化的召会生活，（这种召会生活已经失去了对主起初的爱、灯台照耀的性能、以及对基督作生命的享受，）而作得胜者，好叫他们得着赏赐，得吃神乐园（在国度时代里的新耶路撒冷）中生命树的果子─启二1~7。
