To remain in the fellowship of the Lord maintained by the foot-washing requires the strength of resurrection life. We can never do it by our natural man.

什么是神的恩赐？如果你说神的恩赐就是基督，这个答案并不完全准确。神圣的生命才是神的恩赐，因为罗马六章二十三节说，神白白的恩赐乃是永远的生命。

神已往所作的是旧造；父和子正在作的，乃是藉着救赎以完成神建造的新造。这工包括了子的赐人生命，就是这事例所显明的。在这事上，父与子是一。在赐人生命的事上，凡父要作的，子就照样作。

主已经成为肉体、钉十字架、复活、升天、从肉体变化形像成为那灵、并且具体化于话。话乃是主的灵的具体化身。你不能说你不知道如何接触主，因为主已经具体化于话。祂是灵，也是话。你若接受话，就有那灵作你对基督的享受。
