Jan14【每日活水】长大成熟,继承产业

 

加拉太书4:1~11

1我说那承受产业的,虽然是全业的主人,但为孩童的时候却与奴仆毫无分别,
2乃在师傅和管家的手下,直等他父亲预定的时候来到。
 3我们为孩童的时候,受管于世俗小学之下,也是如此。
4及至时候满足,  SHEN 就差遣他的儿子,为女子所生,且生在律/法以下,
5要把律/法以下的人赎出来,叫我们得着儿子的名分。
6你们既为儿子,  SHEN 就差他儿子的灵进入你们的心,呼叫:「阿爸!父!」
 7可见,从此以后,你不是奴仆,乃是儿子了;既是儿子,就靠着  SHEN 为后嗣。
保罗关怀加拉太人
8但从前你们不认识  SHEN 的时候,是给那些本来不是 SHEN 的作奴仆;
 9现在你们既然认识  SHEN ,更可说是被  SHEN 所认识的,怎么还要归回那懦弱无用的小学,情愿再给他作奴仆呢?
10你们谨守日子、月份、节期、年份,
11我为你们害怕,惟恐我在你们身上是枉费了工夫。
1What I am saying is that as long as an heir is underage, he is no different from a slave, although he owns the whole estate.
2The heir is subject to guardians and trustees until the time set by his father.
3So also, when we were underage, we were in slavery under the elemental spiritual forces of the world.
4But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,
5to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship.
6Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.”
7So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir.
Paul’s Concern for the Galatians
8Formerly, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those who by nature are not gods.
9But now that you know God—or rather are known by God—how is it that you are turning back to those weak and miserable forces? Do you wish to be enslaved by them all over again?
10You are observing special days and months and seasons and years!
11I fear for you, that somehow I have wasted my efforts on you.
 

内容观察

1.保罗说,承受产业的人,在未成年的时候是怎样的状态?(1节)

2.保罗说,信/徒既成为 SHEN 的儿子,就拥有怎样的身份?(7节)

 

思考与默想

 

3.保罗为什么强调信/徒必须脱离律/法的奴役,长大成熟来作属天产业的继承人?
 

个人感受

4.看到保罗担心信/徒领受了救/恩后, 又转回跟随那粗浅的学说,我有什么感想?
 

决心与应用

5.最近,我何时曾经历到属/灵成长?

6.为了在属/灵上成长,符合 SHEN 产业继承人的身份,我决心要怎么做?

 
世上粗浅的学说(3节):指信/仰的初阶事物,或初阶的知识。
生在律/法之下(4节):道成肉身成为人的 YS 也受律/法的约束,经历了人们的处境。
后嗣(7节):原文与“承受产业的”(1节)是同一个希腊字词。
日子、月份、节期、年份(10节):分别指犹太人所遵守的安息日、初一、节期(逾越节、七七节、吹角节、赎罪日、住棚节等)及安息年。

灵/修指南

保罗在信中,解释了被 SHEN 拯救的信/徒和律/法之间的关系。
即使是主人的孩子,未成年时仍必须受监护人和管家的管辖,但成年之后就得脱离这样的辖制,享受完全的自由。已经成为了 JI DU 徒的外邦人,如果按照犹太律/法主义者的要求,遵守律/法而活,那就像是一个成人重回了受人辖制的生活(9节)。
因此,信/徒要成长,脱离信/仰未成年的型态,成为承受 SHEN 产业的后嗣。我们要时常省察自己的信/仰状态,看看自己有没有好好行使作为继承人的权利。事实上,很多人虽然得到了 SHEN 儿女的身份,却仍然按世界的标准生活。我们要明白,如果我们正确明白fu yin,我们就必须要成长。
靠着 SHEN 恩典而活的人,有 SHEN 所赐、作 SHEN 儿女的特权。如果我们不成长的话,就无法享受 SHEN 所赐的宝贵特权。
 

内室dao告

求 SHEN 帮助我脱离粗浅的信/仰,活出属 SHEN 儿女长大成熟的样式。
