Dead Or Alive? 死了还是活着

Romans 6 罗马书6:9-14

9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.

因为知道基督既从死里复活，就不再死，死也不再作他的主了。

10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

他死是向罪死了，只有一次；他活是向　神活着。

11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

这样，你们向罪也当看自己是死的；向　神在基督耶稣里，却当看自己是活的。

12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

所以，不要容罪在你们必死的身上作王，使你们顺从身子的私欲。

13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.

也不要将你们的肢体献给罪作不义的器具；倒要像从死里复活的人，将自己献给神，并将肢体作义的器具献给神。

14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

罪必不能作你们的主；因你们不在律法之下，乃在恩典之下。

Dead Or Alive?

死了还是活着？

I hardly know where to start with these verses, they are so full of glorious truths. 

我几乎不知道我应该从这些经文的哪里开始，因为他们充满了真理的荣耀。

Look at verse 9 -10.  Christ has defeated sin; it has no power over Him.  At Calvary, the power of sin was snuffed out, it had its back broken, sure it can walk around, but only in a crumpled state. It has no power over the Christian.

来看9-10节，基督战胜了死亡，死对他无能为力。在髑髅地，罪的势力被扼杀，它的脊梁已折断，尽管它可以四处走动，但只能以蜷曲的状态，它对基督徒无能为力。

At the cross, Christ was fully yielded to the will of the Father and note this word in verse 11… Liewise. We have to reckon…we too are called to a life of obedience and sacrifice to the will of Him who gave us the most precious gift of all: Eternal life through His Son.

十架上，基督完全屈服于天父的旨意，注意11节的这个词“likewise同样地”，我们必须意识到… 我们也被呼召过这种顺服并牺牲的生活。为了那位赐给我们最珍贵的礼物的旨意而活，通过神的儿子我们有了永生。

What is the mindset of someone who is surrendered to the will of the Father?  It begins with our attitude towards sin. The surrendered Christian must reckon themselves dead to sin and alive to God through faith in Christ our Lord.  

一个顺从于天父旨意的人的心态是怎样的呢？它从我们对罪的态度开始。基督徒的顺从必须认定自己在基督我们的主里借着信心对罪已经死了，对神活着。

Let not sin reign in your mortal body…snuff it out at the earliest opportunity. How do you do this?  By yielding yourself completely to God, that means giving up all rights to your life. You are God’s vessel; you are God’s instrument. He will now mold you into the image of His beloved Son.

不要让罪在你必死的身体上掌权…尽早将其扑灭。怎么做呢？通过完全顺服于上帝，这意味着放下你对生命的所有权利。你是上帝的器皿，你是上帝的工具。他现在将塑造你成为他所爱之子的模样。

This is what sanctification is all about…it is about dying to sin and living for God.  

分别为圣就是这个意思。向罪死，向神活。

These verses are so awesome… What an amazing privilege God has given us to be called His children!

今天的这些经文如此令人敬畏。上帝赐予我们如此惊人的特权，成为他的儿女！

Say every day….

每天宣告：

 I Am Dead To Sin And Alive Unto God

我已向罪死，要向主活。

God bless you

上帝祝福你
