拒接情慾的種子(四)


【简体显示】

田珍寶

一 位信徒,早已過適婚年齡,仍未等到神配合的結婚對象;在信仰生活裡,因未婚,飽受許多苦楚;這是在年輕時即於主內結婚者難以體會的。有來自外在的麻煩事, 有來自內在的傷心事;常遭受異性的蓄意騷擾和獨自面對信仰操練的孤單感。因此,很羨慕聽從主命、按著神的教訓守道、於會堂接受神的祝福而結婚的弟兄姊妹, 得著神所賜在生前、於日光之下勞碌的事上所得的分──同自己所愛的伴侶,快活度日。

「兩個人總比一個人好,因為二人勞碌同得美好的果效。若是跌倒,這人可以扶起他的同伴;若是孤身跌倒,沒有別人扶起他來,這人就有禍了。再者,二人同睡,就都煖和;一人獨睡,怎能煖和呢?有人攻勝孤身一人,若有二人便能敵擋他;三股合成的繩子,不容易折斷。」(傳四9~12

這段經文,常於聚會中聽聞講道者講述,這位信徒對這段話,更是刻骨銘心。因為,在信仰生活中,未婚的身分讓其飽嚐來自魔鬼的攻擊!牠們如何打擊?撒但附在人的身上,為所欲為,苦不堪言!

那位信徒長得並不俊美,然自成年起追求者眾,每到一處,都成為異性覬覦的人;不論主內和主外、已婚和未婚,他們花招盡出,令其煩不勝煩!最嚴重者甚至對其下毒、欲奪其性命。

親身經歷災難的信徒做見證:

我被一位已婚的男同事(歲數近半百,有妻兒)追求,數次當面拒絕,仍不罷休!西元200835日星期三下午15:25分,他在我的水壺裡放硫酸,欲毒死我!神顯神蹟、救我!事前主耶穌在我心裡說話,告訴我:「他已經下毒了!」我竟認為是自己多想了,沒有將神的提醒放在心上。16時前下班回家喝了那水壺裡的水以後,旋即舌麻、不能吞嚥口水、胸痛!家母幫助代禱!身子立刻好轉。唯當晚流鼻血!接連幾個晚上,皆呼吸困難,連睡覺都會被心臟隱隱作痛的感覺驚醒!手撫著心臟,輾轉入睡,而後再被痛醒!整晚如此。

為此,家母向神禱告,神讓她看異象,那位男同事被鬼附著,鬼藉著他攻擊我!然而神救了我!非常感謝神!我誤喝了毒物,竟然沒有死!且沒有後遺症(上述所言的中毒症狀,是神讓我明白自己真的中毒了!)

主耶穌說:「信的人必有神蹟隨著他們:就是奉我的名趕鬼;說新方言;手能拿蛇;若喝了什麼毒物,也必不受害;手按病人,病人就必好了」(可十六17~18)。我真的體驗到神奇妙的作為,祂保護我免受惡者的毒害,存留我的性命,讓我可以向神悔改、繼續為主見證;感謝神!

有一位同靈,禱告中得神默示:只要是真耶穌教會的信徒,都會遇到這種情慾的試探和誘惑,要緊的是,當我們遇到的時候,有沒有靠著聖靈的幫助拒絕?!堅守道理、不被迷惑而犯罪。

能 在真耶穌教會的會堂裡結婚、領受神的祝福的弟兄姊妹,真是蒙天父大大賜福啊!因為可以有屬靈的同伴、親密的佳偶,在屬肉和屬靈方面都得著幫助;可以同心禱 告,建立基督化的家庭,面對魔鬼的攻擊而不膽怯,信仰路上不孤單。理應珍愛神所賜的配偶,持守忠貞的愛情,不容第三者介入,細心維護婚姻生活的聖潔,讓神 的靈歡喜住在彼此的心中,使神的恩惠因著夫妻謹守遵行神的道、而如貴重的油澆在兒女的身上、源源不絕,帶領家人過著分別為聖、在地如天的生活。

沒有配偶的弟兄姊妹,是孤單了些,得獨自面對魔鬼多方的試探、引誘、襲擊,然必須相信,也一定要深信,主耶穌的恩典夠你們用!不要忘了時時倚靠神、常常保持被聖靈充滿、將神的道豐豐富富地存在心中,穿戴整齊屬靈的全副軍裝,隨時儆醒禱告(弗六10~20),遇到危險時趕緊大聲呼求主!神必垂聽、搭救!使你們出也蒙福,入也蒙福(申二十八6)。必須忍耐,時間的輪、是很快轉過去的,在世的爭戰不會長久,當你們忍受了一切,從大患難中出來!寶座中的羔羊必牧養你們,領你們到生命水的泉源;神也必擦去你們一切的眼淚(啟七13~17)

靈糧分享

過去的勞苦,都自己承擔;那信耶穌一個好處,我們的勞苦可以交給主耶!這是一個很重要的體會耶!因為我們要在乎的是神的大能,在乎的是神的恩典;當你不認識主的時候,一個人背這個勞苦重擔、好痛苦!因為你一個人在走這個人生,人也幫不了你……

那我們信主耶穌了,受洗了,又有聖靈啦!你更要學會、要到主的面前來!把勞苦重擔交給祂啊!這個不是我們人這樣講,乃是這位耶穌基督的應許、祂的教導。

我們來看馬太福音第十一章28節:「凡勞苦擔重擔的人,可以到我這裏來,我就使你們得安息。」這是主耶穌說的,凡勞苦擔重擔的人,可以到主耶穌這邊來喔!欸!主耶穌就讓我們得到安息喔!這裡講的「安息」,主要是肉身生活的安息。然後29節 說:「我心裏柔和謙卑,你們當負我的軛、學我的樣式,這樣,你們心裏就必得享安息。」要學習主的真理,後面就得到心靈的安息、肉身的平安、心理的平安、人 生的平安,在主裡面,會得到。雖然有勞苦,但是我們懂得交託,我們懂得禱告、依靠,神會為我們承擔,這就成為美好的見證。就像這位外教會的老先生,奇妙的 事就發生在他的身上和他的家;這個真的是勞苦擔重擔的人,到了主的面前,就容易度過,人生就不再那麼痛苦,有主一起同行!

願神祝福大家!

Heavy Burden
Pr. H. H. Tien
05/24/2006
(Languages: Spoken in Mandarin, Translated in Cantonese)

Whatever burden we had in the past, we had to carry it on our own. One good thing about believing in Jesus is that we can give our burden to the Lord! This is an important experience. What we are concerned is the mighty power of God and His grace. When we have not known about the Lord, we had to carry this burden ourselves and it is very heavy and painful. No one can help you.

When we believed in the Lord Jesus, were baptized, and received the Holy Spirit, we need to learn to come to the Lord and give our burden to Him. This is by what we say but by the promise of Jesus Christ and His teachings.

Matthew chapter 11, verse 28 states,
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. This is what the Lord Jesus said. This peace is a peace in our lives.

Verse 29 continues to state,
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. When we have learned the truth of the Lord, we will have peace in our hearts, peace in our bodies, peace in spirits, and peace in life. All these will be obtained when we have learned the truth. Even though we may still encounter difficulties, as long as we know to give our burden to the Lord by praying and relying on God, God will take care of our problems. This will become a beautiful testimony. Just like this old man from other church, miracles happened to him and his family. This man was indeed a man with heavy burden. His burden became lighter when he came to the Lord because God walked with him.

May God bless everyone.

拒接情慾的種子(三)

【简体显示】

/田珍寶

西元2008211傍晚,她和女兒們、孫女、外孫兒們、外孫女坐在沙發看電視,不久,她睡著了。過了一會兒,她被二個小外孫(兄弟二人的年齡分別為8歲和6)爭執的聲音吵醒;睜開眼睛,看著在客廳一角吵鬧的小朋友,卻看到有三位小孩兒,她覺得很奇怪,家裡隻有二個幼兒,怎麼會多出一個小孩呢?再定睛ㄧ看,那是一個小女孩兒身高的模樣,頭髮長長的,臉孔卻是很老的人。她見那女孩先出拳、用力地打6歲大的小外孫,再大力地出拳打8歲大的哥哥,而後在旁慫恿著他們:「打呀!打呀!快打他呀!」二個外孫即打起來,此時那女孩高興地鼓掌叫好!三個打在一起!

她看著那人的模樣,內心驚覺──那不是人,是鬼啊!旋即欲開口說:「奉主耶穌聖名趕鬼!」然全身竟無力、連說話的力氣都沒有,隻能在心裏呼喊著:「奉主耶穌聖名撒但退去!」那鬼似乎嚇一跳!轉頭看著她!而後走到她身旁的沙發椅上坐著,雙眼依然凝視著仍在打架的小男生。

她依然被魔鬼控制著,無法開口說話!她再次於心中說:「奉主耶穌的聖名趕鬼!」那鬼立刻消失!而二個小孩亦立即停止打鬥;哥哥說:「我要到樓上做功課!」弟弟也走到媽媽那兒,坐在沙發上看卡通影片。而她,可以伸展身體、說話了。

她將此事放在禱告中,求問神!也求主保佑家人平安!神說:鬼捉弄他們,先出手打他們、並在旁慫恿他們爭吵、打架,當他們打起來的時候,牠就很高興!信徒也是一樣,為何看到一個男人(或女人),即難以自拔地愛上他()?其實是魔鬼在對方身上,使信徒接住魔鬼撒的情慾的種子而特別喜歡對方、意亂神迷、癡迷不已!將那人視為最美麗、可愛至極之人!沒有他()、活不下去!甚至為了他(),連信仰都不顧了,犯罪離開神。當信徒一犯罪(犯姦淫),魔鬼見詭計得逞──吞吃本會的信徒!即離開那人,再去尋找其他的信徒,誘惑、攻擊!而當魔鬼一離開那之前被牠附著的「美人」後,「美人」即不再追求、喜愛那位信徒,這時犯罪的信徒才突然醒悟過來:我犯死罪了!而懊悔!痛哭!卻來不及了!不能從新懊悔了(來六4~8)

君不見,本會許多信徒外貌雖不長得很俊美、才華也不出眾,卻出乎意料之外地成為萬人迷嗎?明明已人老珠黃,卻仍然總有一個、二個、三個、甚至更多的人追求,彷彿明星般受寵?人雲,那是因為本會信徒守神的道,散發出基督馨香之氣,個性溫和,謙卑有禮,認真負責,聰明智慧……很多的優點,所以讓未信主的人特別喜歡,展開熱烈地追求!是嗎?果真如此?以世人的眼光,確比非本會者還要美嗎?美的走到那兒、被眾人驚為天人、凝視、愛戀?經過長久的時日也不改變?是嗎?問問自己,果真如此?

非也!此乃魔鬼的伎倆,牠們附在人的身上,勾引原本有得救盼望的信徒的心;用許多巧言誘愚蒙無知者隨從,用諂媚的嘴逼其同行。沒有被聖靈充滿、不常常禱告、未將神的道豐豐富富存在心裡者立刻跟隨犯鬼的人,好像牛往宰殺之地,又像愚昧人帶鎖鏈,去受刑罰;直等箭穿他()的肝,如同雀鳥急入網羅,卻不知是自喪己命(箴七21~23)。哀哉!喪失永生福分!

是故,為非神所配合的人愛慕、尚洋洋得意、高興地如小鳥飛上了天?視對方為天上掉下來的禮物?小子們哪!勿忘彼得長老警戒之言:「你們要將一切的憂慮卸給神,因為祂顧念你們。務要謹守、儆醒;因為你們的仇敵魔鬼,如同吼叫的獅子,遍地遊行,尋找可吞吃的人;你們要用堅固的信心抵擋牠,因為知道你們在世上的眾弟兄,也是經歷這樣的苦難。那賜諸般恩典的神,曾在基督裡召你們,得享祂永遠的榮耀,等你們暫受苦難之後,必要親自成全你們,堅固你們,賜力量給你們。願權能歸給祂,直到永永遠遠。阿們。」(彼前五7~11)

真耶穌教會的信徒,要努力追求、得到神的心,而非人的心;要盡心盡力盡意、討神的喜歡,而非討人的喜歡(加一10),效法保羅成為基督的僕人。僕人在世,有何地位?沒有,隻有仰望主人施恩憐憫,期盼將其吩咐的事完成。僕人在世,有何裝扮?沒有,隻有披戴基督仁義聖潔,冀望神召其來得的獎賞。遵守神的真理、順服真理的聖靈,保守自己的身心,過著得勝的生活,主耶穌必將神樂園中生命樹的果子、賜給他吃(啟二7)

靈糧分享

苦難的來臨,很明顯地、從聖經裡面的交代,凡是因為人體貼自己的想法、情慾,違背了神的命令,所以苦難的來源是來自於人的情慾、慾望,人被試探給誘惑啦!我們自己也是一樣,壞習慣的形成、觀念的錯誤、不信從主的信仰,也都是因為體貼自己的情慾、慾望,所以就顯出自己的罪性來。

這個「罪」怎麼生成的呢?我們來看雅各書第一章14~15節:「但各人被試探,乃是被自己的私慾牽引誘惑的。私慾既懷了胎,就生出罪來;罪既長成,就生出死來。」

這裡很清楚地交代,罪怎麼產生?乃是從自己的私慾開始,然後你把那個念頭、放在心裡,那它就會懷胎囉!那最後生下來囉!就是說:你決定要這樣做!做錯的時候、就是生出罪來囉!每一次做錯、這個小罪就加增起來,變成大罪來!就生出死來。

如果人在這樣的罪惡的生命裡面!那是沒有希望的!他真的是活得沒有意義啊!怎麼辦?!這個時候、更要尋求真正的生命;因為人的方法不能解決罪。唉、你如果活在情慾、慾望裡面,你就有很多機會、會生出罪來,所以要怎麼樣解決這個問題?讓你的人生得到盼望?欸、就要解決這個罪的問題囉!

第三個談到人生的盼望。人生的盼望在哪裡?剛才帶領禱告的執事這樣說:我們的希望是錢嗎?或者其他什麼嗎?其實這些勞碌都是虛空!夠用就好啦!其他的時間,你要把你的生命要好好地發揮、培養出來啊!人如果陷在苦難、生命陷在罪惡裡面,要怎麼解決?法律有辦法嗎?法律隻是定人的罪,它能夠讓你的生命重新再起來嗎?沒有辦法的。

我們人生、生活有百態,所表現出的生命力也有百態;怎麼辦?要去思考:人生的盼望,到底在哪裡?!

我們來看提多書第三章5~7節:「祂便救了我們,並不是因我們自己所行的義,乃是照祂的憐憫,藉著重生的洗,和聖靈的更新。聖靈就是神藉著耶穌基督我們救主,厚厚澆灌在我們身上的;好叫我們因祂的恩得稱為義,可以憑著永生的盼望成為後嗣。」

人生的盼望,就在耶穌基督的救恩上面!這裡說:不是因為我們自己好的行為、才得到主的救恩,乃是照著主的憐憫,藉著重生的洗禮;也就是我們真耶穌教會在講的大河、大海的、全身受洗(受浸)的洗禮,奉主耶穌基督的名來赦罪的!

7節這裡說:藉著主的救恩,我們的罪、得解決,我們的苦難、可以交在祂手中,然後就有、得永生的盼望耶!當你領受救恩的那一天,也就是你受洗的那一天,你就有這個盼望啦!你知道這世界、不能永住,將來離開、要到主安排永恆的國度裡面;因為在主裡面有永遠的生命。所以當你認識主的時候,我們的生命不隻停留在肉體的生命而已啊!更是要往前去追求那在主永恆、永生的生命哪!這就是人生的盼望;要藉著耶穌基督救贖的恩典!藉著祂的聖靈的幫助來成全!所以這個才是真正的得救的道理!

而這一條道路,它的途徑啊!要藉著耶穌基督來成全哪!約翰福音第一章51節那裡說:(「又說,我實實在在的告訴你們,你們將要看見天開了,神的使者上去下來在人子身上。」)天將要開,然後有一個梯子通到這個天;那個是通往天國的橋樑,而這個橋樑、是建立在人子耶穌基督身上!所以這是一個很重要的見證!

所以主耶穌、祂這樣說:我就是道路、真理、生命;如果不藉著我,沒有人能到父那裡去(約十四6)。所以惟一得救的一條道路、就在耶穌基督身上!藉著祂的福音,但是藉著祂十架救恩的死、來興起這個恩典哪!所以這是你、我、大家應該要有的一個追求啊!

我們來看彼得前書第一章19~21節:「乃是憑著基督的寶血,如同無瑕疵無玷污的羔羊之血;基督在創世以前,是豫先被神知道的,卻在這末世,纔為你們顯現;你們也因著祂,信那叫祂從死裏復活、又給祂榮耀的神,叫你們的信心、和盼望,都在於神。」

所以我們在這裡看到,彼得長老這樣做見證:過去祖宗用牲祭流的血啊!那個不能除罪的,乃是要憑著耶穌基督十字架上的寶血、才能除罪!其實這個救贖的大恩典的計畫,在這個世界還沒有被創造以前、就已經設立了。因此20節這裡說:耶穌基督在創造世界以前哪!欸、就已經有這個救恩的計畫,隻是在末世才顯給我們看:原來就是耶穌基督!藉著祂十架上的受死、受難,我們跟著祂、在受洗的時候,一起同死、同埋葬、同復活!所以:「奉主的名來洗淨你的罪!」從水裡面上來!在靈裡面我們的罪、被洗淨啦!因為有神的靈運行在當中!這是從聖經裡面告訴我們的;我們同祂一樣從死裡復活啦!

所以我們的信心,我們人生的盼望,都在這位耶穌基督身上。希伯來書的作者更是這樣說:祂為我們打開一條又新又活的道路(來十19~20),是惟一得救的道路,是藉著耶穌基督來成全。

因此聖經裡面也談到苦難,但要怎麼解決?要來到耶穌基督這邊,才能夠離開苦難、得到平安!聖經裡面談到罪,交代了罪的來源,要怎麼解決?要靠十架救恩,耶穌基督的寶血!成為我們人生的盼望,罪、才能夠得到赦免!所以這一條路,隻有耶穌基督來成全。

所以談到這裡,我們真正的生命是什麼?就是耶穌基督!我們被祂造,我們被祂賞賜生命,所以真正的生命源頭就在祂那裡;所以我們敬拜祂,我們仰望祂,我們依靠祂,我們來到祂的面前,就會得著這真正的生命。

保羅、他也做了這一方面的見證;我們請看提摩太前書第六章17~19節:「你要囑咐那些今世富足的人,不要自高,也不要倚靠無定的錢財;隻要倚靠那厚賜百物給我們享受的神。又要囑咐他們行善、在好事上富足、甘心施捨、樂意供給人、為自己積成美好的根基、豫備將來,叫他們持定那真正的生命。」

保羅看到人世間的一切;講到後來,就是要持定那真正的生命!這真正的生命就是耶穌基督!我們的生命、不算什麼!有一天、停止呼吸了,我們的生命就離開這世界。所以在活著的時候,我們要想盡辦法抓住那個賜生命、永恆的這位主啊!所以我們應該要怎麼樣來做一個很好的努力、反應呢?這才是我們的重點;既然知道這位真正生命就是耶穌基督。

有一個教派,在傳他們的道理的時候,會對那些人這樣講:「你現在就好像是一隻大象,陷入在泥沼裡面,然後你要奮力走出這泥沼、泥巴。」認為人、你就是陷入這泥沼、這世界,所以該教派基本面就是講著你陷入泥沼裡面啊!那你就是那一隻大象,雖然有力,但是你愈陷愈深哪!愈掙紮愈爬不出去這泥沼!但是要怎麼樣奮力走開呢?他們就用其他的說法;或許會說你要改變命運,你要拿錢做什麼、蓋廟,甚至你要怎麼樣、怎麼樣的說法就一堆啦!但是聖經主耶穌怎麼說?

主耶穌用撒種子的比喻,那個撒種的人子就是耶穌基督,那種子是有生命力喔!你看那很多的豆子啊!欸、你吃不完、然後丟在路邊,你過一段時間來啊!它就長芽呢!然後它從那邊又再成為一個生命體啊!所以這個種子是有生命力的;那神把種子撒在路邊,這路邊的場所啊!種子撒在路邊、就是撒在人的心裡囉!當你聽到這個神國的福音,那你是不是在你的心會有那個生命力呢?所以要看是哪一種人!?你聽了福音以後,每一個人感受不同,聽到了真正的生命是耶穌基督,那這個時候你的腦筋在想什麼?「唉呀!我這麼軟弱的生命,如果能夠結合到耶穌基督永恆的生命上,欸、那我今生會得到祂的幫助,將來有永生榮耀的天國為我準備!」

所以一樣的福音,一樣的種子,撒在不同人、心裡就不同啦!當然能不能體驗真正的平安、也不同了!能不能活出基督生命的見證、也不同了!

所以這樣看起來,我們真的要努力耶!我們要領受主的道理,能夠像種子落在我們的心田上面,能夠發芽,你才會尋得到這個發芽之後成長的那個生命的主宰!

一想到這裡,我們要深深地肯定:人真的不算什麼!所以藉著耶穌基督,才是讓我們能夠得著生命的光輝。

我們來看一下歌羅西書第三章3~4節:「因為你們已經死了,你們的生命與基督一同藏在神裏面。基督是我們的生命,祂顯現的時候,你們也要與祂一同顯現在榮耀裏。」

在這裡保羅做見證,他說:你們已經死啦!這裡是講已經受洗、領受救恩的人,罪人、舊的人已經被釘死在十架上啦!洗禮之後,欸、我們的生命跟耶穌基督一同藏在神裡面;「一同藏在神裡面」,這有幾個很好的意義

得到神兒女的名分。

得到神救恩的恩典。

可以在神裡面來服事祂。

當你體驗到這樣的見證的時候,第4節:你就會深深地了解耶穌基督是我們的生命,就跟主耶穌說:「我是生命」、有很好的見證……

「我雖然行過死蔭的幽谷,也不怕遭害;因為祢與我同在;祢的杖、祢的竿,都安慰我。」(詩二十三4

在這裡,我們有時候遇到苦難,有時候被罪惡所勝,就好像經過死蔭的幽谷;因為什麼時候意外、苦難要來,我們不知道?但你能夠持定、抓住這位真正的生命「耶穌基督」,主的杖、主的竿,都會安慰你!

這裡講到杖和竿,就是表明主的權能、主的恩典、主的憐憫,就會臨到你身上。所以我們非常歡迎慕道朋友,也一起進到真正的生命──耶穌基督裡面!

拒接情慾的種子(二)Refusing to Receive the Seed of Lust (2)

【简体显示】

/田珍寶

西元2008年,禱告中,她看異象,見有二位年輕的姊妹,伸出雙手,接住魔鬼撒的情慾的種子。神且在異象中,默示她:魔鬼撒的種子中,最容易發芽的,就是情慾的種子;其次是貪財的種子。要拒絕接受魔鬼撒的種子,才能不犯罪,守住神的道。人若一接住魔鬼撒的情慾的種子,很難脫離誘惑和試探、非常危險!要為她們禱告,迫切地禱告,隻有懇求神憐憫、幫助,才能脫離魔鬼撒下的情網……

人被聖潔的婚姻(在神面前結婚)之外的情網捉住,即變了另一個人,不看重屬靈的生命,不聽從聖經神的教訓──在主內聯婚,不嫁娶非真耶穌教會的信徒,不婚前苟合行淫,不婚後外遇,不同性戀,不憑自己的想法挑選婚姻的另一半,不以詭詐待與己盟約的配偶(瑪二10~16)。所得到的後果是什麼?君不見,那欣喜接住魔鬼撒的情慾的種子的弟兄姊妹,在世的日子,幸福嗎?沒有神的同在,得不到神的眷顧和保佑,平安嗎?悽悽慘慘,鎮日活在神的忿怒之中,惶恐、驚懼!尚有末日神的審判、永遠受地獄之刑罰、無止無息的痛苦、等著!哪來的因情愛而得的喜樂?哪還有自比海枯石爛長久穩固的愛情?隨著我們犯死罪離開神,一切的福分,都瞬間消失!豈可不慎?豈能不察?

愛一個人,易;接受人的愛,也易。惟獨男女之間的情愛,隻有在主內結婚的二人,才能享有,不能與婚姻以外之人共享。在主裡尚未婚配的同靈,必須靠著聖靈的幫助,時時追求被聖靈充滿,將神的話謹記在心,耐心等候神的安排,不要埋怨;妥善安排單身、無牽無掛的時間,在屬靈和屬世的學問知識上,努力學習,神絕不會虧待你的,必賜你生前、在日光之下勞碌的事上所得的分──主所愛的他(),一生快活度日,建立耶穌基督同在的家庭,攜手同奔天路,多麼蒙福?縱然患難如火星飛騰,卻不遭害;有主倚靠,滿足喜樂。

西元2009年,本會同靈做異夢,夢裡見到平日有默契、彼此喜歡、相互欣賞的同事,竟然口裡吐著蛇信!淩晨三點驚醒!頓悟:感謝神!這是神的提醒啊!我們認為對人好、看別人比自己強、與人和睦相處,卻不能失去防備的心;防備什麼?感情漲溢在外、流向非自己的配偶之人哪!趕緊跟神悔改禱告,求主赦免、保守自己的心,勿掉入魔鬼設下的陷阱,離神而去呀!亦求主保護那人,不要放錯感情而傷心,懇求神揀選疼愛自己很珍惜的朋友,有一天亦能同奔天國路,享受永遠之福!

主知道搭救敬虔的人脫離試探,把不義的人留在刑罰之下,等候審判的日子;那些隨肉身、縱污穢的情慾、輕慢主治之人的,更是如此……行不義之人,喜愛白晝宴樂,他們已被玷汙,又有瑕疵,以自己的詭詐為快樂;他們滿眼是淫色,止不住犯罪;引誘那心不堅固的人,心中習慣了貪婪,正是被咒詛的種類,他們離棄正路,就走差了(彼後二9~1013~15)

故不可給魔鬼留地步(弗四27),切勿接住撒但撒下的種子,尤其是情慾的種子。主耶穌認識誰是祂的人;凡稱呼主名的人,總要離開不義。要逃避私慾,同那清心禱告主的人追求公義、信德、仁愛、和平。自潔,脫離卑賤的事,就必作貴重的器皿,成為聖潔,合乎主用,豫備行各樣的善事(提後二192221)。能為主所用,不就是你我衷心期盼、日夜等候主差遣的美事麼?

Refusing to Receive the Seed of Lust (2)
By Angel Tien
Translated by Amos Ku

In 2008, a sister saw a vision during her prayer: Two young sisters extended their hands and received the seed of lust from Satan. God revealed to her in the vision that among the seeds of Satan, the kind of seeds that would sprout first is the seed of lust, then the seed of greed. Only by refusing seed of lust from Satan can we not commit sins and obey the word of God. Once a person receives seeds of lust, it will be difficult for him/her to get away from temptations and tests from Satan. It is very dangerous! We need to pray for them earnestly. Only if we pray earnestly, can we get away from the net that Satan casts toward us.

Once a person is caught in the net of lust outside the holy matrimony (that is, marriage before God), he/she will become another person, who will not pay attention to spiritual life and not listen to God’s word in the Bible , (to be married in the Lord, to marry only True Jesus Church (abbreviated as TJC hereafter) members, to not to commit adultery before marriage, and not to love other people than our own spouse, not to become a homosexual, not to choose our own spouse by our own wills, and not to cheat our spouse who made a covenant with us (Malachi 2: 10~16)).

What are the consequences if we do any of these sinful acts? Have not all of us seen those who joyfully received the seeds of lust from Satan lead a life of misery? Without the abidance of God and His protection, there will be no peace. We will be living miserably in the wrath of God, fearing and trembling daily. Not only this. There will be judgment of God, endless punishment in hell, and endless pain and suffering, waiting for us. Where is the joy resulted from love? Where is the love that is supposedly stronger than rock and more abundant than sea? Once we commit mortal sins and leave God, all the blessings will disappear. Can we not be careful and not watch out?

It is easy to love another person and receive a love from another person. However, only those marry within the Lord can enjoy true love within marriage. We can never share this love with any other than our own spouse. Those who have not been married within the Lord have to rely on help from the Holy Spirit, filled with the Holy Spirit, keeping word of God in our hearts, waiting for the arrangement of God. Do not complaint. Cherish your time in this period of freedom and carefree. Strive to learn more of knowledge both spiritually and worldly. God will never disregard our efforts to be holy. He will surely grant you whatever fruit your labor under the sun should grow you – give the person that shall be your spouse. How blessed we will be if we live a life happily, building a Christ based family and walking toward the Heavenly Kingdom together? We will not be harmed even if tribulations and suffering are coming unexpectedly. With God on our side, we will be satisfied.

In 2009, a TJC member had a dream in which this member saw a coworker who expressed mutual like toward each other stuck out a tongue of snake from the mouth! The member was greatly shocked and woke up horribly! This member realized, “Thank God! This is a reminder from God!”

We should treat others with grace, see others better than we are, and live peacefully with others, but we cannot put down our guards. Guarding against what? We should guard against the tendency to let out our love toward those other than our own spouse. We should repent and pray for God’s forgiveness. We should guard our hearts, so that we will not fall into the trap of Satan and leave God. We should also pray to God that this person will not be too sorrowful by expressing love to a wrong person. Pray that God cherish a friend who we cherish much. Someday this person can also walk toward the Heavenly Kingdom with us and enjoy eternal blessings!

Chapter 2, verse 9 and 10, and verse 13 to 15 of II Peter say “…the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the Day of Judgment, while continuing their punishment. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority…” and “They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you. With eyes full of adultery, they never stop sinning; they seduce the unstable; they are experts in greed—an accursed brood! They have left the straightway and wandered off to follow the way of Balaam son of Beor, who loved the wages of wickedness.”

Therefore we should not leave foothold to devil by refusing the seeds for lust from Satan. Lord Jesus knows who are His. Whoever called Him the Lord should leave unrighteous deeds and escape from lust, and chapter 2, verses 19, 22, and 21 of the book of II Timothy tell us, “Nevertheless, God's solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: "The Lord knows those who are his," and, "Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness."”, “Flee the evil desires of youth, and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.”, and “If a man cleanses himself from the latter, he will be an instrument for noble purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work.”

Is not it what we have all hoped for day and night from God to be used by the Lord?

離開神,我們人就找不到生活的意義;離開神,人就找不到生命真正的價值。沒有神,活著跟死一樣;沒有神,人不如不要到世界來;沒有神,人生就沒有希望。所以人的一生一旦沒有神,我們的計畫、我們的理想、我們的生活,一切都變成空的!所以耶利米書第二章才說,離開神,自己就變成虛妄。

所以,不是神要我們,是我們需要神。這個、非常重要的一點。因為有一些人,他覺得,來教會聚會,給神一個面子;來教會聚會,給教會負責人、傳道人一個面子;啊、本來不來的,看到誰,所以他來了;或者因為自己的父母,所以來了。其實喔、不是神需要我們;聖經裡面說,千萬的天使在服侍神;以賽亞書說,天使在頌讚的時候,殿的根基震動,聖殿充滿了榮耀!如果我們不拜神,神還在那個地方,神的榮耀還在那裡,神的權柄還在那裡,神沒有影響。因為,人好像灰塵一樣;人拜不拜神,對神沒有影響。但是,如果人沒有拜神,人的吃虧最大。因為一切,變成虛妄……

所以我們人要變化做新人,最重要是那個改變,要拔出來、毀壞,這個最難!那耶利米要改變的是什麼?是他們離開神、那種生活方式。那怎麼改變?就告訴他們說:「你們不對!」我們知道,如果有一個人,到處去講:「你不對!」這個人,大概沒有朋友;因為大家都很喜歡人告訴你,你有什麼好處。所以耶利米幾十年做先知,他隻做一件事情,告訴以色列百姓:「你們不對,要悔改,不然大難臨到!」所以,他沒有朋友,到處受逼迫。但是他的訊息是真的,這個是以色列百姓得救的一條路──要回轉、歸向神,不然大難、巴比倫就下來啦!所以耶利米受很多的苦,但是他忠心到底。他忠心到底,是因為他對神的敬畏跟順服!也是對人的憐憫跟愛……

神在用人啊、那個屬靈的條件很重要;聖經裡面找不到,神在用人的時候說:「誒、這個人很有恩賜,所以我揀選他、用他。」沒有這樣的,沒有一個是這樣的。聖經、揀選人,好像耶利米,他是小孩子啊!看不出他有什麼恩賜,但是耶利米有屬靈的條件:就是他對人有憐憫的心,他對神有敬畏的心!這個是神用他的一個重要原因……

耶利米書第一章8節:「你不要懼怕,因為我與你同在。」耶利米年紀很小,他說:「我怕!」神說:「你不要怕,我要跟你同在。」這一句話是做聖工,一個重要的條件──我要跟你同在。如果沒有神的同在,耶利米沒有辦法做先知幾十年哪!他早就被打死了。所以神的同在,使他能夠繼續做下去幾十年。

所以保羅跟提摩太說:你要靠著神的恩典、剛強起來!我們做聖工會剛強,是因為神的恩典;我們本身算不了什麼。沒有神的同在,我們沒有辦法一直服事到現在。你看教會裡面好多人很熱心在服事神幾十年到現在,這是靠神的恩典。不然有時候,一人講一句話,你說:「不做,算啦!」所以神才會叫我們剛強,一直往下做。

但是我們要想一件事情:耶利米到最後,工作有沒有果效?答案是:沒有。他傳警告幾十年,一個也沒有聽,沒有人聽。他、使命很清楚,就是要拔出、毀壞、要建立、栽植。神的同在、很清楚,但是作工,沒有果效。為什麼沒有果效?不是神沒有能力,不是耶利米沒有盡心,是人剛硬!硬心不改變!

所以今天我們要了解,教會的聖工,我們要盡力做,我們要靠神,但是結果,我們沒有辦法預測。如果我們自我檢討:我已經盡力做了!盡力禱告啦!但是結果就不是我們能夠控制的。挪亞造方舟、傳警告,到最後幾個信?一個也沒有,隻有他的家八個人。

所以末世來到,我們要傳福音,愈來愈難,我們最重要、就是要:盡力做!要求主與我們同在。保羅撒種,亞波羅澆灌,但是神叫它長大;我們結果就交給神。但是我們做的工、精神所付出去的,神都會記念……

A Weeping Prophet - Jeremiah
by Pr. D. Liang
(Languages: Spoken in Mandarin, Translated in English)

Leaving God, we, humans, will not be able to find the meaning of life; and we will not find the true value of life. Without God, living is the same as death; it will be better men not born into the world; and there will be no hopes in our lives. Therefore, if men is living without God, whatever our plans, ideals and what kind of lives we are leading will be meaningless. This is why chapter 2 of Jeremiah says that we will be like nothing by leaving God.

So, God does not need us, but we all need God. This is a very important concept we should all have. Some people think that he comes to church to make God, church board members, or preachers to feel good. Originally, he/she is not coming, but he/she comes because someone or his/her parents are going to show up.

As a matter of fact, God does not need us if we do not come to Him. We can see in the Bible that there are millions of millions of angels serving God. This is why the Book of Isiah says that when angels were praising God, the foundation of the temple shook and the temple was filled with glory! If we do not worship God, God is still in that place, His glory still remains, and His power still intact. God will never be affected by those of us who do not worship Him. Men are but like dusts, and God will never be affected by men's not worshiping Him. On the other hand, if Men do not worship God, men will suffer a great deal because whatever he is striving or has striven will become totally meaningless.

For a person to become anew, he/she needs to transform him/herself – to pull up and destroy. Pulling up and destroying ones old self are very difficult things to do. What prophet Jeremiah wanted the Israelites to do? He wanted them to leave the godless life by telling them what was wrong about their actions. If a person is spreading about the wrongs that we have done, he/she will have no friend, for everyone like to hear people to tell us what are the good things about us.

Jeremiah, in his several decades of being a prophet, did only one thing – telling the people of Israel, “You have done wrong. You should repent. Otherwise, big calamities will fall upon you!” Because of his action, he probably made no friends and was persecuted everywhere. However, what he told was the truth and the message was the salvation to the Israelites – Returning to God, Babylonians were going to bring calamities upon the nation of Judah! He suffered much, but he was loyal to the Lord until to the end, out of not only his fear and obedience to God, but also his love toward humans...

When God uses a person, He looks upon the person's spiritual qualifications. The Bible never says, “Oh, this person is so gifted, so I shall choose him and use him.” No way! In the Bible, God chooses those who are like a child, just as Jeremiah was when he was chosen. No one can see any gift out of Jeremiah, but Jeremiah had spiritual qualifications, which is his sympathy toward mankind and his fear towards God! These are the factors why God chose him to be a prophet.

The book of Jeremiah Chapter 1 verse 8 says, “Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you," declares the LORD.” Jeremiah was young at the time God spoke this to him. Jeremiah said, “I am afraid!”. God told him, “Do not be afraid, for I will be with you.” These words are important when we conduct sacred work – God will be with us. If God was not with him, Jeremiah would not have become a prophet for several decades, and he would have beaten to death! It was because of God's abidance, Jeremiah was able to be a prophet for such a long time.

Therefore, Paul said to Timothy that he should be strong by the mercy of God. The reason that we have strength to carry out scared work of God is because of God's mercy. We are nothing, and we will not be able to serve him and men until now. Look at the people who serve in the church so many years. They all rely on God's mercy. Sometimes, someone says some bad things about us, we will say, “Forget it! I am not continue doing it anymore!” It is God at this time who give us strength to continue.

We need to think about one thing here: Did Jeremiah's work produce any effect? No! He preached warnings to the Israelites for several decades. No one listened. His message was very clear – to pull out, destroy, and rebuild and replant. God's abidance was very clear. However, there was no effect to what he had preached. Why there was no effect? It was not because God was powerless, not because Jeremiah was not doing his best, but because hearts of men were adamant – refusing to change.

Therefore, today, we need to realize that we need to do our best to perform sacred works in church by relying on God. Despite the fact that we have no control over the results, we need to examine ourselves – have we done our best? How many believed Noah when he preached the warnings of the flood? No one but eight people in his family.

The end time is coming. The mission to preach the gospel will be all the more difficult, but we will still need to do our best! We need to ask God's abidance. Paul sowed and Apollo watered, but it is God who grows it. We only need to give the results to the hands of God. God will remember our work and our efforts....

拒接情慾的種子(一)Refusing to Receive the Seed of Lust (1)


【简体显示】

/田珍寶

前晚(西元2009129)聽聞一個令人震驚的消息,一個十年前常與她同工的弟兄,與有夫之婦通姦,犯第七誡。記得,西元1997年,在電話中,她曾提醒他:「要小心喔!不要跟姊妹聊得很深入、無話不談;而她已婚、卻還跟你說那些話、很不得體,你更要提防!」他笑著回答:「不可能啦!她大我很多歲,我們隻是聊一聊,沒有什麽。」很有自信,然不出幾年,還是出事了。

無怪乎,西元2006年,當她遭遇機關首長和同事們頻頻追求、騷擾之際,神曾跟她說:「他們都是很罪惡的人。」神說的「他們」,包括多年前常與她同工的那位弟兄;她很疑惑,爲何他也列在其中,被神說很罪惡的人?難道他也是淫亂的人麽?他犯死罪了嗎?

昨天再度確認消息是否無誤?得到的答案是:那婦人用巧言、世上的歪理,誘他隨從,他竟然相信,輕易地離棄從小最愛的主耶穌……

西元1999年的上半年,她打電話、再次鼓勵他:「今年可以報名神學院啊!你不是要獻身當傳道的嗎?」他說:「我覺得我現在(有碩士學位)還不夠,我要讀到博士才獻身。」他們二人爲此辯論,最後他贏了,仍堅持取得博士學位之後再報考神學院。往事歷歷在目,多少次的互相鼓勵、勸勉,沒想到,他、一位從小立志要獻身當傳道、且爲了獻身而努力讀書的弟兄,在男女關係上竟倒下來,多麽令人心痛?傷心!淚流下來……

真耶穌教會的弟兄姊妹啊!一定要小心、謹慎、再謹慎!除了自己的配偶以外,跟異性深度對話、交往,得分外小心,不論對方是已婚或未婚、是主內或主外之人;總要保持距離!許多的失敗,都是從聊天、談心開始。即便是教會的同靈,雖然出於做聖工而對話,也不可以大意!犯死罪的人,不都是先從聊天談心、愈走愈偏,最後不顧一切放縱情慾,離棄神的麽?一位信徒在禱告中,神啓示:「人常常以爲這樣作沒有關係(靠近罪惡),等到真的發生事情了(犯死罪),才覺悟自己錯了。」一點一點地親近誘惑、試探,一大步一大步地遠離神,最後被魔鬼吞吃了!才痛哭流涕,悔不當初!卻爲時已晚,不能從新懊悔了(來六4~8)。職此之故,自己以爲站得穩的,須要謹慎,免得跌倒(林前十12)。

已婚的弟兄姊妹,不要貪心,有一個丈夫(妻子),就夠了,要用神的真理和聖靈的能力,與主所婚配的人同心禱告、相扶相持、奔跑天路。眼睛不要戀慕其他的異性,心裏不要妄想得到他人的情愛。「滿了一把,得享安靜,強如滿了兩把,勞碌捕風」(傳四6)。不滿足於婚姻裏的愛情,奢望刺激、偷情的興奮,必兩頭空;今生得不到神的祝福,尚有永遠的刑罰、地獄不滅的火湖等著你。

未婚的弟兄姊妹,當教會的同靈介紹主內的弟兄(姊妹)時,不要以世上的條件、東挑西挑了,挑來挑去,延誤婚期,又沒有獨身的恩賜,孤單地承受風起雲湧、情感潮流的沖擊;孤身一人,當軟弱時,很容易被擊垮,危險重重!同爲主耶穌的兒女,必須重視屬靈的門當戶對──受洗歸入真耶穌教會、同保守在神的懷裏、沒有犯罪、有信心、有聖靈、努力追求神的國和神的義、有得救盼望、屬於神的人,就夠了;這才是神眼中、門當戶對的佳偶。守住神的話,終身大事完全交託在天父的手中,神絶不會虧待你的。祂必爲愛祂而守道之人,張羅一切,使你們的婚姻大大榮耀神的名,並住在你們的家,成爲你們的「一家之主」,時刻與你們同在,直到世界末了,接你們回天家享永福。「婚姻,人人都當尊重,牀也不可污穢;因爲苟合行淫的人、神必要審判」(來十三4)。職是之故,必須在禱告中等候神的安排,不要自由戀愛而喪失在神的家結婚、蒙神賜福的恩典;務要儆醒,在真道上站立得穩,要作大丈夫,要剛強。凡你們所作的,都要憑愛心而作(林前十六13)。

Refusing to Receive the Seed of Lust (1)

written by Angel Tien
translated by Amos Ku

Last night, (01/29/2009), she heard a very shocking news: A brother who worked with her ten years ago had sex with a married woman, violating the seventh commandment.
She remembered one day in 1997 when she reminded him, “Watch out! Do not chat too deeply with that sister. She has been married, and she still talks about these subjects. This is not very appropriate. You should be very careful.” He smiled and answered confidently, “Impossible! She is much older than I am. We only chatted. Nothing will happen.” Well, after a few years, accident did occur.
No wonder, in 2006, when she was pursued and harassed by her boss and coworkers, God told her, “They were all very evil men.” Here, one of“them”refers to the brother who worked frequently with her. She was puzzled why was he among the evil men? Was he also a lustful person? Has he committed the mortal sin?
She double checked yesterday and confirmed the news indeed was true. The reason for him to fall was because the woman used the theories of the world to trick him to follow her. Surprisingly, he believed what she said and left the beloved Lord Jesus from his childhood...
During the first half of 1999, she called to encourage him, “You should apply for the theological school this year. Didn't you want to dedicate yourself to be a preacher?”He said, “I have not studied (a master's degree) enough. I want to dedicate myself after I have had a doctorate degree.”They argued for a while. He won. So, he insisted to dedicate himself after receiving his Ph D.
All these incidents were as if just happened yesterday. All the encouragements.... It was so shocking that a brother who determined to dedicate himself to be a preacher since his childhood and studied for this determination finally felt in a sexual related sin . How painful it must have been to her heart! Her' tears drop one by one....
Brothers and sisters of the True Jesus Church: Please be very careful about relation between sexes. Besides ones own spouse, one should be very careful not to chat too deeply with any member of opposite sex. Regardless he/she is married or unmarried, believer or unbeliever, a distance should always be kept! Many failures started with chatting. Even if another party is a church member and the reason for talking is to perform sacred work. We should always use caution! Didn't many of those who committed sexual sins started by chatting and then went all the way later to indulge lust of fresh and forsook God?
One member was revealed by God during prayer, “Men often think it is okay to walk close to sin. Only when they actually commit sins, do they realize everything has been too late!”These people walked closer to temptation one step at a time until they were all devoured by Satan. Then, they wept very bitterly, but it was too late! Repentance and becoming a new man again will be impossible (Hebrew 6: 4~8). Those who think he/she can stand firmly should be all the more careful so that he/she will not fall (1 Corinthians 10: 12).
For those who have married -- Do not be greedy. One husband (wife) is enough. We should use the truth of God and rely on the power of Holy Spirit to pray with our spouse, so that we will be able to help each other to run on the road toward the Heavenly Kingdom. Our eyes should not stare at other members of opposite sex and our hearts should not think that we will gain lusty love from him/her. “Better one handful with tranquility than two handfuls with toil and chasing after the wind.”(Ecclesiastes 4: 6) If we are not content with love within marriage and to hope for excitements from our lusty pleasures, we will finally be chasing after the wind. Not only we won't be able to receive blessings from God, but we will be waiting for eternal punishments of having to suffer in fiery lake of the Hell as well.
For those who are still single – When church members are trying to introduce us brothers or sisters to us, do not use worldly standards and be very picky. You will be missing the period for marriage. This way we will need to risk ourselves in the world of emotional storms. When you are single, you are weaker and will fall very easily under Satan's attack. We are all Lord Jesus' children and we need to see to it that we marry those who have been baptized into the True Jesus Church and that we are to be kept in the bosom of God. We only need to look for our spouse among those who are sinless, faithful, filled with the Holy Spirit, those who seek God's kingdom and His righteousness, and those who are belonging to God. Only matching with a person with these qualifications can we have a marriage pleasing to God. If you place your marriage in the hands of God, God will bless you greatly. He will take care of those who love him and obey His words. Your marriage will glorify God's name and He will abide with you and become the Lord of your household until the end of the world, when He will receive you into His Heavenly Kingdom.
”Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.”(Hebrew 13: 4). Therefore, we need to wait for God's arrangement in our prayers. We should not chose our spouse carelessly and lose the chance to be married in the house of God and be blessed by God. We all need to“Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong. Do everything in love.”(1 Corinthians 16: 13)

Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you. (2 Thess 3:16)

Spiritual Food to Share

Salvation is the most important thing of our lives. Please read Mathew chapter 16 verse 26. Here the Lord Jesus said, “What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?”
The life mentioned here refers to the everlasting life. In other words, this passage is to say that what will we gain nothing without everlasting life – to be saved and enter the Heavenly Kingdom. How important it is to be saved!
Therefore, members in times of Apostolic church rather died for the truth. Life is the most precious thing one can ever own, but they were willing to give up their life to gain salvation.
The fleshly life can last many decades and can also last only several hours. We have no idea how many more hours will we still live. Are we able to live 5 more hours? No one knows.
Even it is so, we are regarding our live more precious than all the properties of the world....
Going to Heavenly Kingdom is like climbing stairs: One step at a time. We can never jump all the way to the top.
We ought to believe that Jesus is the Savior. We need to repent and believe in Him, baptized and wash away our sins, and receive the Holy Spirit. Nevertheless, one needs to become anew by the Holy Spirit – a basic foundation for salvation. The requirements are very clear.
Therefore, We can not pause at any point but move forward always. Move forward!
Sisters and brothers who have been baptized according to the Bible and received promised Holy Spirit should all rely on the help of the Holy Spirit to act out good deeds of a new person.
May the Lord bless us.

得救,是我們人生、最重要的ㄧ件事!我們請看馬太福音第十六章26節;主耶穌說:「人若賺得全世界,賠上自己的生命,有甚麽益處呢?人還能拿甚麽換生命呢?」

這裏所說的生命,主要的是指著永遠的生命。意思就是說我們假使不能得到永遠的生命──就是得救、進天國,那你得到全世界有甚麽用?!這是告訴我們:得救是一件多麽重要的事!

所以、使徒時代,他們爲了得救,他們甘願殉道!捨去這個肉體的生命,這個可以說是人的、所擁有的東西當中最寶貝的東西!

這個肉體的生命說起來是幾十年,或著幾個小時、現在幾個小時;我們不知道5個小時後,有沒有「我」的存在?

雖然這樣子,我們看這一條生命,比全世界的財產還要緊……

上天國,好像爬樓梯啊!一樣啦!是ㄧ步一步來!一步一步地!不是說一個信就跳到上面去!不是的!
你要相信耶穌是救主!你要悔改信耶穌!你要受洗、洗去你的罪!你要得聖靈!但是!要靠聖靈作新人!這個得救的根本,很清楚!

所以我們不可以停止!要ㄧ直地前進!一直地走上去!

我們今天弟兄姊妹啊!我們已經接受洗禮、我們已經得到聖靈,我們在這個新年度、要靠聖靈幫助!真的有新人的好表現!

求主耶穌祝福我們!
