Crux of Getting Freedom
得自由之竅
得自由之竅

「真理」一詞，在希臘文裏的意思是「絕對的真實。」所以真理不是一個「理，」而是一個「實際。」約翰福音一章十七節說︰律法本是藉着摩西傳的，恩典和真理，都由耶穌基督來的。恩典不是神的一個態度，而是神的一種工作。聖經中所說的「真理」沒有別的意思，真理就是「實際。」甚麼是實際？就是主所成就的工作，上十架、流寶血，為的要把我們從罪中釋放出來。所以「真理」是人在地上解釋的那個東西，而「真理」是主所作成的工。許多時候，我們看不見甚麼是實際，所以受了捆綁。等到看見了實際是甚麼一回事，就得以自由。有些確實重生得救的信徒，當發現自己的脾氣還在，自己的軟弱還在，漸漸裏面很冷，禱告也不靈，讀經也不行，就懷疑到底是否真的得救了？但請你記得，你覺得火熱，你是得救的︰你覺得你不熱，你也是得救的。你的感覺雖有改變，但主為你所作的工作，那一個沒有改變。你要從神那一頭來看。我們不是憑着自己的感覺來得釋放。唯一能釋放我們的，就是在神面前的實際。屬靈的實際就是釋放人脫離他自己的感覺。如果你去問弟兄姊妹說︰「你在基督裏死了沒有？」很多人會說︰「死是死了，但不知道為甚麼緣故不發生效力。」這是因為只聽見「道理，」沒有摸着「實際。」羅馬書六章、以弗所書六章給我們看見「我們與主同死」是個事實，主的得勝也是個事實，我們有份於主的得勝也是個事實。許多人一直在那裏盼望，但光一來，人就要跳起來說︰成了。「真理」都是「實際，」不是要去抓的，乃是已經在手裏。所以當真理被人傳開的時候，若沒有光照，就變作道理。若有神的光照，真理就變作啟示，得着實際，得着生命。
Crux of Getting Freedom

The word "truth", in Greek, means "the absolute fact". So the truth is not a "reason", but a "practice". Section 17 of chapter 1 of John said: For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. God's grace is not an attitude but a work of God. The "truth" in the Bible has no other meaning but "fact". What is fact? It refers to the work done by the Lord: being crucified on the cross and flowing treasure blood, in order to release us from our sins. Therefore, "reason" is what people interpret things on the ground, and "truth" is work done by God. Many times, we can not see any fact and therefore we are tied up. Once we see what fact is, there will be liberty. Some really reborn and saved believers, when finding that they still have temper and their weakness is still there, they gradually become cold inside and neither the prayer nor reading the Bible works. Then they suspect whether they have been really saved? But please remember, if you feel hot, you are saved; if you feel not hot, you are still saved. Although your feelings changed, the Lord's work on you has not changed. You should see from the point of view of God. We are not released by our own feelings. The only way to release us is the fact in fro not God. Spiritual practice is the feeling of releasing of people from him. If you ask the brothers and sisters, "Have you died inside Christ?" Many would say, "Dead is indeed, but I do not know why the effect does not occur." This is because they just listen to the "reason", but no feel the "fact". In chapter 6 of the Romans and chapter 6 of the Ephesians we can see the fact that "We die with the Lord". The Lord's victory is a fact and we can share the Lord's victory is also a fact. Many people have been wishing, but when the light comes, people will jump up saying, done! "Truth" is "fact". You do not need to grab it, but it is already in your hand. So when the truth is spread, if there is no light, it will become a reason. With God's light, the truth can become a revelation. Getting the reason can only help your mind full of "ideal." Getting a "revelation" will help you get the fact and life.
