与上帝合一
经文:「因为我活着，你们也要活着。」（约翰福音十四︰19）
耶稣赐给基督徒新的生命，这是千真万确的事。就如同，头活着肢体也跟着活
着。若耶稣没有从死里复活，我们就死在罪犯过错中；但是因着耶稣已从死里复活，所
有活在基督里的信徒，也跟着一起复活。耶稣的死为我们还清罪债，并把我们从永死的
刑罚捆绑中释放出来。祂的复活证明我们的称义，上帝的恩典拯救我们，将救恩白白地
赐给我们，叫我们出死入生。
耶稣赐给信徒的是永远的生命，就像祂拥有永远的生命那样。若祂活着，信徒
又怎么会死？因为耶稣已经死过一次，祂不会再死第二次，死亡的权势无法辖制祂；所
以与耶稣合一的信徒，不再回到犯罪的旧路，却因信靠上帝，而有着新生的样式。信徒
们，面对着试探的诱惑，你是否担心会落入撒但的手中，重操旧业？让这经文坚固你的
心；因为你的属灵生命是藏在上帝的里面，祂会保守你到底。你不用怀疑上帝的永恒性
，因为你与上帝合而为一，你必定有永生。我们所反覆阐释的，就是上帝的生命，就是
永远的生命，因此，你不用害怕，尽管安息在永生上帝的怀里。
One with Christ Jesus
Scripture: "Because I live, ye shall live also" (John 14:19).
Jesus has made the life of believers in Him as certain as His own.
As sure as the Head lives the members live also. If Jesus has not risen from
the dead, then are we dead in our sins; but since He has risen, all
believers are risen in Him. His death has put away our transgressions and
loosed the bonds which held us under the death sentence. His resurrection
proves our justification: we are absolved, and mercy saith, "The LORD hath
put away thy sin, thou shalt not die."
Jesus has made the life of His people as eternal as His own. How can
they die as long as He lives, seeing they are one with Him? Because He
dieth no more, and death hath no more dominion over Him, so they shall no
more return to the graves of their old sins but shall live unto the LORD in
newness of life. O believer, when, under great temptation, thou fearest that
thou shalt one day fall by the hand of the enemy, let this reassure thee.
Thou shalt never lose thy spiritual life, for it is hid with Christ in God.
Thou dost not doubt the immortality of thy LORD; therefore, do not think
that He will let thee die, since thou art one with Him. The argument for thy
life is His life, and of that thou canst have no fear; wherefore rest in
thy living LORD. |
