Jul 01【每日活水】承认自己的罪,行在光明中

 

约翰一书1:1~10

生命之道
论到从起初原有的生命之道,就是我们所听见、所看见、亲眼看过、亲手摸过的。
( 2 这生命已经显现出来,我们也看见过,现在又作见证,将原与父同在、且显现与我们那永远的生命传给你们。) 
我们将所看见、所听见的传给你们,使你们与我们相交。我们乃是与父并他儿子耶稣基督相交的。 
我们将这些话写给你们,使你们的喜乐充足。
 神就是光
5  神就是光,在他毫无黑暗。这是我们从主所听见、又报给你们的信息。 
我们若说是与 神相交,却仍在黑暗里行,就是说谎话,不行真理了。 
我们若在光明中行,如同 神在光明中,就彼此相交,他儿子耶稣的血也洗净我们一切的罪。 
我们若说自己无罪,便是自欺,真理不在我们心里了。 
我们若认自己的罪, 神是信实的,是公义的,必要赦免我们的罪,洗净我们一切的不义。 
10  我们若说自己没有犯过罪,便是以 神为说谎的,他的道也不在我们心里了。
The Incarnation of the Word of Life
That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched—this we proclaim concerning the Word of life. 
The life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us. 
We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. 
We write this to make our joy complete.
Light and Darkness, Sin and Forgiveness
This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. 
If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. 
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.
If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 
10  If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us.
 

内容观察

1.约翰说他把所看见、所听见的耶稣传扬出来的原因是什么?(3~4节)

2.约翰以什么来比喻神?(5节)

 

思考与默想

 

3.约翰为什么强调信徒要在光明中行走,且要认罪悔改?
 

个人感受

4.圣经说,信徒只要认自己的罪,信实公义的神就要洗净我们一切的不义,对此我有什么感想?
 

决心与应用

5.我在与神有团契的同时,没能认真认罪悔改,总是一笔带过的罪是什么?

6.为了在家庭、职场和教会中成为满有喜乐的光明之子,我决定要怎么做?

从起初原有的生命之道(1节):指在创世之前就已经存在的生命之道——耶稣基督。
团契(3节):希腊文为Koinonia,指怀着伙伴意识,共同参与群体生活,一同分享交通。
喜乐得以满足(4节):这里的喜乐来自承认耶稣基督为救主的信徒之间的团契。

灵修指南

约翰写信给被假教师的教导所动摇的信徒。他首先表明自已的权威来自于他曾亲眼看过、亲手摸过,那从起初原有的生命之道(1节)、永远的生命、原与父同在如今道成肉身向我们显现(2节)的耶稣基督。接着,他说自己写信的目的,是为了使信徒与父神和耶稣基督有团契,并使彼此喜乐满溢(3~-4节)。神是全无黑暗的光,因为黑暗与光无法共存,所以,要和神有团契,就要除去黑暗,在光明中行走(5~-6节)。所谓在光明中行走,不是说得救的信徒就完全没有罪,或不会再犯罪,而是说信徒若认自己的罪,信实公义的神就会赦免我们的罪,洗净我们一切的不义(7~10节)。无论多小的罪,我们都要来到神的面前悔改,如此才能成为主所喜悦的光明之子。
 

内室祷告

感谢神赐下悔改的心,让我们可以与神有更深的团契,同行在光明的人生中。
