the essence.

that nourishes us.

crystallization of the New Testament.

8) Q. Most Christians know about grace in a general way. Why isn’t this enough?

verses concerning grace in the New Testament in a crystallized sense, we cannot know God in a
complete way. ，
问：大多数基督徒只是泛泛的明白什么是恩典。为什么这还不够呢？

的经节，就无法完全的认识神。
9) Q. In addition to reading the Bible, I also like hearing the word being spoken. This is also
helpful, right?

is the word, but we have to realize the crystallization of this point.
问：除了读圣经之外，我也喜欢听讲出来的话。这也是有帮助的，对吗？
答：按照罗马十章十七节，信来自听见话。因此，信的源头乃是话，但我们必须认识这一点的结晶。

A. By such a crystallization-study, the Lord can reveal to us the intrinsic essence of the divine
revelation, item by item.
问：我们若以这种方式读圣经，主会向我们开启什么呢？
答：借着这样的结晶读经，主会将神圣启示内在的素质，一一向我们开启。
