Jan 02【每日活水】不失去得救的盼望

 

 

以弗所书1:7~14

 7 我们藉这爱子的血得蒙救赎,过犯得以赦免,乃是照他丰富的恩典。
8 这恩典是 神用诸般智慧聪明,充充足足赏给我们的;
9 都是照他自己所预定的美意,叫我们知道他旨意的奥秘,
10 要照所安排的,在日期满足的时候,使天上、地上、一切所有的都在基督里面同归于一。
11 我们也在他里面得了基业;这原是那位随己意行、做万事的,照着他旨意所预定的,
12 叫他的荣耀从我们这首先在基督里有盼望的人可以得着称赞。
13 你们既听见真理的道,就是那叫你们得救的福音,也信了基督,既然信他,就受了所应许的圣灵为印记。
14 这圣灵是我们得基业的凭据,直等到  神之民被赎,使他的荣耀得着称赞。
7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace
8 that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding,
9 he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ,
10 to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.
11 In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will,
12 in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory.
13 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit,
14 who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory.

决心与应用

5. 我何时曾怀疑神的救恩,以致失去得救的盼望?

6. 为了在各样景况下拥有得救的确据,我决定要怎么做?

救赎(7节):指支付赎价后得拯救,即从罪的权势得自由。
同归于一(10节):指一切受造物在基督里同被统管,并合而为一。
基业(11节):指成为神的后嗣和产业。
受了所应许的圣灵为印记(13节):圣灵是信徒成为神儿女和产业的证明和凭据。

灵修指南

三位一体的神为了拯救信徒而一同作工。神使罪人因着耶稣基督的宝血得蒙救赎,过犯得以赦免(7节),又以诸般的智慧聪明,使人晓得祂旨意的奥秘(8~9节),也就是等到时机成熟,天上和地上的一切受造物要归属于基督,以祂为首(10节),并颂赞祂的荣耀(12节)。为此,神赐下圣灵为印记,使信徒不致怀疑自己的得救(13节),而能承受神宝贵的应许。因此,我们务要时刻与圣灵连结,晓得自己已经在基督里拥有得救的盼望,好能在各样的景况中持守对神的信心,并将颂赞及荣耀归给祂。
 

内室祷告

愿我时刻与圣灵连结,确知自己属乎神,并要承受祂宝贵的应许。
