因为凡从神生的,就胜了世界。这胜了世界的,就是我们的信心。
Psalm 24
诗篇24
1The earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
1地和其中所充满的,都属乎耶和华。世界和住在世界上的人。
2 For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.
2因为他把世界建立在海上,把它安置在大水之上。
3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in his holy place?
3谁能登上耶和华的山呢?谁能站在他的圣所呢?
4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

5 He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
5他必从耶和华那里蒙福,从救他的神那里蒙公义。

TITUS 2Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
提多书2教导我们,弃绝不敬虔和世俗的私欲,在今世生活中,要有节制、公义和敬虔;
How can we live in today’s world?
We can be conformed to the world or transformed by God’s spirit; we have a choice.
怎样才能活在当今世界?我们可以顺应世界,也可以被神的灵改变;我们有一个选择。
So how are we to live in today’s world:The first wat, we have to live in today’s world is:
那么我们该如何生活在当今世界呢:我们要生活在当今世界的第一是:
Virtuously
品德高尚
We live in a dark and dangerous world; we are to live holy lives in a world that is sinful and dirty. In Psalm 24, we have instructions on how we are to live in respect of our actions and words.
我们生活在一个黑暗而危险的世界里;我们要在一个罪恶肮脏的世界里过圣洁的生活。在诗篇第24篇中,我们得到了关于我们如何言行一致的指示。
In 1 Thessalonians, 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus, there are many verses that tell us, how to live in today’s world, one of the things that is interesting is that the word Sober is mentioned several times especially in TITUS 2.
在帖撒罗尼迦前书,提摩太前书和提多后书里,有很多章节告诉我们,如何在当今世界生活,有趣的是提多后书里多次提到“清醒”这个词。
We are told not to be drunk with wine in Ephesians 5:18, we are to be sober. We cannot watch if we are drunk. A drunk man wants to sleep, all he is interested in is the next drink.
以弗所书5:18告诉我们不要饮酒,我们要保持清醒。如果我们喝醉了,我们就不警觉。一个喝醉的人想睡觉,他只对下一杯酒感兴趣。
But we have to be constantly watching, denying worldly lusts, the way to live is to follow Titus 2:12, to live soberly, righteously and godly lives in the midst of a perverse and evil generation, cleansing our minds through the continual washing of the word of God in our lives Psalm 119, Romans 12:1-2 and Colossians 3:16
但我们必须持续警觉,拒绝世俗的欲望,生活的方式是遵循提多书2:12,在一个乖僻和邪恶的一代中,过着清醒,正直和敬虔的生活,通过在我们的生活中不断洗涤上帝的话语来净化我们的心灵诗篇119,罗马书12:1-2和歌罗西书3:16。
Visionary
高瞻远瞩
Secondly, we must be visionaries, in several ways.
第二,在几个方面,我们必须有远见。Isaiah had a vision of the glory of God in Isaiah 6, we must have a deep and full relationship with God, time must be spent in God’s presence, through intimate fellowship with the Father Matthew 6:6.
以赛亚在以赛亚书6章中看到了上帝的荣耀,我们必须与上帝有深刻而完整的关系,必须花时间与上帝同在,太福音6:6。
That will reate a deep and passionate vision for the lost, Isaiah had this vision of God, but it wasn’t so he could stay in that situation, the call to him was, I want someone to go, who will go for us.
这将为失丧的人创造一个深刻而热情的愿景,以赛亚对上帝有这样的愿景,但这并不是为了让他能停留在那种情况下,对他的召唤是,我想有人去,谁会为我们去。
Vision for God’s work and vision for God’s glory are inseparable, they come together. We need to have a vision to reach out with God’s word, We need to have a vision of God in all his glory but that vision and encounter, must drive us to worship and to sharing his glory with a needy world.
对神的工作的憧憬和对神的荣耀的憧憬是不可分的,它们结合在一起。我们需要有一个视野去接触神的话语,我们需要有一个神在他所有荣耀中的视野,但是这个视野和相遇,必须驱使我们去敬拜,去与一个贫穷的世界分享他的荣耀。
Victoriously
胜利地
We have the victory in Jesus, ultimate victory belongs to us.
我们在耶稣里取得了胜利,最终的胜利属于我们。
Revelation 12:11
启示录12:11
11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
11他们靠着羔羊的血,和自己所见证的道,胜过了祂;他们至死也不爱自己的生命。
Ultimate victory belongs to us, but also daily victory belongs to us. We are able to overcome the world, these wonderful verses in 1 John are so relevant to us:
最终的胜利属于我们,但日常的胜利也属于我们。我们能够战胜世界,约翰一书中这些精彩的诗句与我们息息相关:
1 John 2
约翰一书2
13 I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father.
13父老们,我写信给你们,因为你们认识那从起初原有的。少年人哪,我写信给你们,因为你们胜了那恶者。小子们哪,我写信给你们,因为你们认识父。
14 I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.
14父老们,我曾写信给你们,因为你们认识那从起初原有的。少年人哪,我曾写信给你们,因为你们刚强,神的道常在你们心里,并且你们也胜了那恶者。
1 John 5
约翰一书5
4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
4因为凡从神生的,就胜了世界。这就是胜了世界的,就是我们的信心。
5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
5胜过世界的是谁呢?不是那信耶稣是神儿子的吗?
We are victorious, we follow a victor, Jesus defeated sin and the devil, we will trip up daily, we will fail, but the more we become the image of Jesus by soaking ourselves in his word, we will have the victory.
我们是胜利者,我们跟随胜利者,耶稣打败了罪恶和魔鬼,我们每天都会跌倒,我们会失败,但是我们越是沉浸在耶稣的话语中成为耶稣的形象,我们就越会取得胜利。
Are you living a virtuous life?
Are you living a visionary life?
Are you living a victorious life?
你过着品德高尚的生活吗?
你过着高瞻远瞩的生活吗?
你过着胜利的生活吗?
God bless you
