论坛不稳定, 这是第三次发这个帖啊~ 不能用字体颜色键,一用帖子就死了。。。打了那么多。。。 长话短说:这位朋友面临的身体与灵的交战,是每一个基督徒都面临的交战。人非完人,我们的罪虽然赦免,不代表我们不再犯罪。因为我们仍有罪性。但借着圣灵,我们可以战胜身体的罪。基督徒跟其他追求自我完善的人的区别,就是因为我们是靠着圣灵的带领,治死自己的罪的。如果你还没有信主,接受他,他会给你心灵难以想象的平安,喜悦,从此不再是罪的奴仆,行在光明里!感谢主! 正好看了JOHN PIPER的关于如何借着圣灵治死罪的讲道,非常好。有兴趣的弟兄姐妹慢慢看英文。大意就是:靠着圣灵治死罪分三步: 1。以圣灵的事为念。------心思意念都是关于圣灵的事。 2。什么是圣灵的事?---------神的话即圣经。也就是说要把我们心思意念放在神的话即圣经上。怎样才能以神的话为念呢?一方面要默想神的话即圣经,一方面要借着圣灵向神祷告。二者缺一不可。 3。心思意念放在神的话上之后,就要坚信所听见的福音。相信神的应许远远超过罪带来的“满足”,顺从肉体的结果就是永死。从而切断罪的根源。 简而言之:默想神的话,恒切祷告,当我们听见并相信神的话----圣灵的利剑之后,圣灵就会带领我们争战,并将罪治死。如果神的话不在我们心中,我们就无法将罪治死。[/COLOR] 最后举了一个例子,关于一对夫妇如何借着相信神的应许而战胜罪的经过。 3. How Do You killing sin "By the Spirit"?Let's get at answer by following three steps, each with a different text. Step One: Set Your Mind on the Things of the SpiritStep #1. Notice Romans 8:5-6 and how Paul speaks there of the flesh and the Spirit (the same pair he contrasts here in verse13): "For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, [set their minds on] the things of the Spirit. (6) For the mind set on the flesh is death (as verse 13a says!), but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace (as verse 13b says)." So the first step in the answer is this: putting to death the deeds of the body by the Spirit involves "setting the mind on the things of the Spirit." You don't just look at the temptation and say NO. You do that! But if you are going to put it to death by the Spirit, you have to do more: you direct your mind, your heart, your spiritual focus another way, namely to the "things of the Spirit." Step Tw Set Your Mind on the Words of God and the Realities They Stand ForStep #2. What are "the things of the Spirit"? If we are going to rivet our minds and hearts on them in the hour of temptation so as to kill sin, what are we looking at? Here the key text is 1 Corinthians 2:13-14 where Paul talks about his own teaching as God-inspired words. This is the only other place in the New Testament where the very phrase "things of the Spirit" is used. He speaks of his revelations like this: ". . .which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit. . . . (14) But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised." So here "the things of the Spirit" are the words of God spoken by the apostles. From this I infer that when Romans 8:6 says that "those who are according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit" he means that they set their minds on the words of God and the realities they stand for. These are the "things of the Spirit" that the natural person rejects and the spiritual person embraces. So to put to death the deeds of the body "by the Spirit" is to "set your mind on the things of the Spirit," which we now see means embracing the words of God (and the reality they point to) spoken by his inspired spokesmen. This is especially significant because the "word of God" is called "the sword of the Spirit" in Ephesians 6:17. And swords are used for killing. And that is what we are to do "by the Spirit" in Romans 8:13. Kill the deeds of the body by the Spirit, that is by fixing your mind on "the things of the Spirit," that is, by welcoming and embracing the "word of God" in your mind and heart, that is, by taking the Sword of the Spirit which is the deadly sword for sin-killing. Step Three: By Hearing with Faith, not Works of the LawStep #3. Very practically what do you do to bring the power of the Spirit by the word of God into vigorous, sin-killing action? The answer is clear in Galatians 3:5, "So then, does He who provides you with the Spirit and works miracles among you, do it by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith?" The answer is that the Spirit is supplied to us for the miraculously mighty killing of sin not by works of the law but by "hearing with faith." Why does he say "by hearing with faith" instead of just "by faith"? To emphasize that what faith hears and receives and embraces is something heard, namely, "the word of God," which is the sword of the Spirit, which kills sin. How does it do that? Well, let's save that for a whole sermon when I come back. But we are not left helpless this morning. What we are saying is that when temptation comes, alongside a very powerful and resolute NO!, you look to a word from God, especially a word that promises he will be more for us and do more for us than what this sin promises. And if you believe him – there is the main battle – you will sever the root of sin. you do it; but you do it in such a way that it is he who does it. That is the difference between the Christian life and a moral self-help program. When the word of God – the Sword of the Spirit – is heard and believed, the Spirit is moving with vigorous, sin-killing action.In other words, the connection between the Holy Spirit and you is the word of God and faith. 如何治死罪的例子 Here's illustration of how to kill sin. A missionary couple was with us ministering among refugees here in the Cities until last year. Now they are headed with three small children to a country in Africa which is so sensitive they can't name it. Their February prayer letter was one of the clearest examples of how to put sin to death by the Spirit that I have ever seen. They listed the sins that were threatening them and then gave the promises of God that they were using to put the sins to death. "Whereas the Constitution of [this country] may state one thing, the Word of God says, "the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world" (1 John 4:4). Where fear says, "what if . . . happens?" faith says, "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand" (Isaiah 41:10). When worry surfaces, faith responds, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid" (John 14:27). When doubt and frustration scoff, "They'll never change, this is a waste of time!" Jesus looks us in the eye and responds, "With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God." (Mark 10:27). |
