A King’s Kid -国王的孩子

GALATIANS 4
加拉太书第4章

4 But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. 6 And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” 7 So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.
【加4:4】及至时候满足，　神就差遣他的儿子，为女子所生，且生在律法以下，
【加4:5】要把律法以下的人赎出来，叫我们得着儿子的名分。
【加4:6】你们既为儿子，　神就差他儿子的灵进入你们（原文作“我们”）的心，呼叫：“阿爸，父！”
【加4:7】可见，从此以后，你不是奴仆，乃是儿子了。既是儿子，就靠着　神为后嗣。

A KINGS KID
国王的孩子

My daughter, gave me the name KK, so now everyone refers to me as KK.
我女儿给我取了KK这个名字，所以现在所有人都叫我KK。

I didn’t like it at first, but I realised that it stood for Kings Kid.
一开始我不喜欢它，但我意识到它代表“国王的孩子”。

If there is one doctrine in the Bible that should bring reassurance to the believer, it is this one of adoption.
如果圣经中有一条教义应该给信徒带来安慰，那就是收养

When we fully grasp it, we can rest securely in our father’s arms and be at peace.
当我们完全掌握它的时候，我们就可以安心地躺在我们父亲的怀里，得到安宁。

It shows the Trinity of Father, Son and Spirit in action, look at verses 4 and 6, God has sent, both Jesus and the Spirit.
它显示了圣父，圣子和圣灵三位一体的作用，看看第4节和第6节，上帝差遣了耶稣和圣灵。

One was sent for salvation and the other for sanctification, one for redemption and one to help us in our daily lives.
一个是为了救赎，另一个是为了成圣，一个是为了救赎，一个是为了在日常生活中帮助我们。

Adoption is our privilege, we are no longer slaves, we are now sons.
领养是我们的特权，我们不再是奴隶，我们现在是儿子了。

All through Galatians, Paul has a strong and forceful debate, with the Judaizers, who said that obedience to the law was necessary for salvation.
在整个加拉太书中，保罗与犹太人进行了激烈而有力的辩论，犹太人认为遵守律法是得救的必要条件

When we trust in Christ for salvation, we become sons and daughters of God
当我们信靠基督的救恩时，我们就成了神的儿女

约翰福音第一章
John 1

12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

【约1:12】凡接待他的，就是信他名的人，他就赐他们权柄，作　神的儿女。

Romans 8
罗马书第8章

14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear;  but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.
【罗8:14】因为凡被　神的灵引导的，都是　神的儿子。
【罗8:15】你们所受的不是奴仆的心，仍旧害怕；所受的乃是儿子的心，因此我们呼叫：“阿爸，父！”
【罗8:16】圣灵与我们的心同证我们是　神的儿女；

We say creation, redemption etc. are through the three fold operation of the Trinity, well so is adoption.
我们说创造，救赎等等都是通过三位一体的三重运作，收养也是如此。

We are now in a love relationship, a relationship based on a loving obedience to a master who loves us, a true father, who deals with us, in a perfect way.
我们现在处于一种爱的关系中，这种关系是基于对爱我们的主人的爱的服从，一个真正的父亲，他以一种完美的方式对待我们。

He is the best father anyone can ever have.
他是世上最好的父亲。

Is He your father?
他是你的父亲吗?

Has Jesus redeemed you?
耶稣救赎你了吗?

Has the Holy spirit been sent into your heart?
圣灵已经差派到你心里了吗?

God bless you
上帝保佑你
