Jul 15 【每日活水】信心使我们胜过世界

 

约翰一书5:4~13

4因为凡从神生的,就胜过世界;使我们胜了世界的,就是我们的信心。
5胜过世界的是谁呢?不是那信耶稣是神儿子的吗?神为他儿子作的见证
6这藉着水和血而来的,就是耶稣基督;不是单用水,乃是用水又用血,
7并且有灵作见证,因为灵就是真理。
8作见证的原来有三:就是灵、水,与血,这三样也都归于一。
9我们既领受人的见证,神的见证更该领受了,因神的见证是为他儿子作的。
10信神儿子的,就有这见证在他心里;不信神的,就是将神当作说谎的,因不信神为他儿子作的见证。
11这见证就是神赐给我们永生;这生也是在他儿子里面。
12人有了神的儿子就有生命,没有 神的儿子就没有生命。
知道自己有永生
13我将这些话写给你们信奉神儿子之名的人,要叫你们知道自己有永生。
4for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.
5Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.
6This is the one who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ. He did not come by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.
7For there are three that testify:
8the Spirit, the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement.
9We accept human testimony, but God’s testimony is greater because it is the testimony of God, which he has given about his Son.
10Whoever believes in the Son of God accepts this testimony. Whoever does not believe God has made him out to be a liar, because they have not believed the testimony God has given about his Son.
11And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
12Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.
Concluding Affirmations
13I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.
 

内容观察

1.从神生的就会如何?(4—5节)

2.信神儿子的人心里有怎样的见证?(10~11 节)

 

思考与默想

 

3.约翰为什么说,凡信耶稣是神儿子的人就会胜过世界?
 

个人感受

4.圣经说,信耶稣的神儿女已经胜过这个世界,对此我有什么感想?
 

决心与应用

5.我何时曾因着信心而胜过世上的罪和诱惑?

6.为了用信心来应对并胜过当下生活中的问题,我决定要怎么做?

水和血(6节):水是指耶稣在约旦河所受的洗礼,血是指耶稣在十字架上的死,水和血即指耶稣整个传道生涯。作见证的有三:就是圣灵、水与血(7—8节):真理的圣灵最认识耶稣,因此为耶稣作见证,而耶稣的受洗和十字架则是最能表现耶稣是救主的证据。

灵修指南

神的儿女拥有胜过世界的能力,这能力是从信耶稣是神儿子的信心而来(4—5节)。回首我们的人生,有时会在罪和诱惑的面前跌倒,让我们感到挫败,也让我们怀疑自己作为神儿女的身份,然而,神赐下证据,使我们的信心不致动摇亦即,信徒的永生唯有透过信神儿子耶稣基督的信心获得(11节);信耶稣的就有永生,不信的,就没有永生(12节)。这样,信神儿子之人,就拥有得胜的生命和对于死亡的坦然。我们在生活中,若只看到在罪面前苦恼跌倒的自己,就会对人生感到灰心失望,然而,我们的得胜和永生不在于我们自己,而在于信靠耶稣基督的信心。盼望我们在这信心里得着勇气和力量,活出见证耶稣和胜过世界的人生。
 

内室祷告

愿我信靠为了我的罪而死、又从死里复活的耶稣,带着永生的确据和盼望胜过世界。
