1. The Lord’s Recovery 主的恢复

1) Q. When you say ‘recovery’, what do you mean?
A. The word recovery means that something was there originally, and then was lost. So there is the
need to bring that thing back to its original state.
问:说到“恢复”,你是什么意思?
答:“恢复”一词的意思是说,一样东西原初有,后来失去了,现在需要恢复到它原初的光景。


2) Q. Recovery is simple enough to understand. Is there anything else that it applies to?
A. The word recovery is somewhat simple and not too profound, but when we speak of the Lord’s
recovery, we need to apply it to the revelation of the whole Bible.
问:恢复很容易理解,它可以应用到其他事物上吗?
答:“恢复”这词略显简单,但我们说到主的恢复,我们需要把它应用到全本圣经的启示上。


3) Q. In the Lord’s recovery what is the first thing that is being recovered?
A. First, the Lord’s recovery is the recovery of the divine truths as revealed in the holy
Scriptures, the holy Word of God.
问:在主的恢复里,被恢复的第一件事是什么?
答:第一,主的恢复乃是恢复圣经(神的圣言)所启示的神圣真理。


4) Q. I thought that the truths in the Bible have remained the same. Why do they need to be
recovered?

A. The truths as revealed in the Scriptures have been lost, missed, misunderstood, misinterpreted,
and wrongly taught throughout the ages. Hence, there is the need of the Lord’s recovery.
问:我觉得圣经的真理是不变的,为什么它们还需要被恢复?
答:历代以来,圣经所启示的真理已经被遗失、忽略、误会、误解、且被人错误的教导。因此,需要有主的恢复。


5) Q. When certain truths are recovered, does this mean that something else can be added to the
Bible?

A. God’s speaking became the completed Bible, which is in our hands today. Hence, the last book of
the Bible, Revelation, says at the end that no one should add to these words or take away from these
words.
问:当某些真理被恢复时,这意味着一些东西可以加添到圣经里吗?
答:神所说的话成了今天我们手中完整的圣经。所以,圣经最后一卷,启示录的末了就说,不可在这些话上加添什
么,也不可删去什么。


6) Q. The truths presented in the Bible are important. Whom does the Lord use to recover them?
A. From the age of the early apostles till now, the Lord has always recovered some of the lost,
misunderstood, misinterpreted, and wrongly taught truths through some of His saints who loved Him and
His holy Word.
问:圣经陈明的真理很重要,主使用哪些人来恢复它们?
答:从早期使徒时代至今,主一直借着那些爱祂、并爱祂圣言的圣徒,恢复一些被遗失、误会、误解、并错误教导
的真理。


7) Q. The first aspect of the Lord’s recovery is the truth, what is the second aspect?
A. The second aspect of the Lord’s recovery is the God-man life, which is the kind of living that the
believers need to have.
问:主恢复的第一面是真理,那第二面是什么呢?
答:主恢复的第二面,就是神人的生活,也就是信徒必须有的一种生活。


8) Q. I thought that the truth itself was enough, why is our living important?
A. The worldly people emphasize moral and ethical living and religious living; yet these are not what
God wants. What God wants is the God-man life, which is God and man living together.
问:我觉得有真理就已经足够了,为什么我们的生活也很重要?
答:世人所强调的是伦理道德的生活、宗教的生活;然而这些都不是神所要的。神所要的乃是神人的生活,就是神
与人共同的生活。


9) Q. In addition to having a God-man living, are there any other aspects to the Lord’s recovery?
A. The third aspect of the Lord’s recovery is the practice of the church. First, the church as the
universal Body of Christ is the universal house of God and also the kingdom of God. These three are
just one.
问:除了要有神人的生活之外,主的恢复还有其他方面吗?
答:主恢复的第三面,就是召会的实行。首先,召会作基督宇宙的身体,乃是神宇宙的家,也是神的国。这三者就
是一个。


10) Q. Since there is only one church of God, is it okay for her to be divided into sects or
denominations?

A. Although the unique church of God is expressed as the many local churches, she is still the unique
universal Body of Christ; she should not be divided into sects or denominations.
问:既然神的召会只有一个,那她分门别类成为宗派公会行吗?
答:神的独一召会,显为众多地方召会,却仍是基督宇宙惟一的身体;她不当分门别类,成为宗派公会。
