We need simply to abide in the Lord according to the anointing.

[jidong xiao]

约壹二章二十七节说，“你们从祂所领受的膏油涂抹，住在你们里面，并不需要人教导你们，乃有祂的膏油涂抹，在凡事上教导你们；这膏油涂抹是真实的，不是虚谎的，你们要按这膏油涂抹所教导你们的，住在祂里面。”在这节里，约翰说主的膏油涂抹在凡事上教导我们，我们该按这膏油涂抹所教导我们的，住在祂里面。膏油涂抹的教导与人类伟大教师的知识（包括孔夫子的大学之道）完全不同。愿我们都完全体认这事实，就是在我们里面那神圣的膏油涂抹时时教导我们，我们只需要照这膏油涂抹住在主里面。

First John 2:27 says, "And as for you, the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone should teach you; but as His anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and even as it has taught you, abide in Him." In this verse John says that the Lord's anointing teaches us concerning all things, and as it has taught us, we should abide in Him. The teaching of the anointing is altogether different from the knowledge of man's great teachers, including what is called the highest learning of Confucius. May we all have a full realization of the fact that the divine anointing within us is teaching us all the time and that we need simply to abide in the Lord according to the anointing.
