歌罗西书 3:15 ⼜要叫基督的平安在你们⼼⾥作主,你们也为此蒙召,归 为⼀体,且要存感谢的⼼。(现代标点和合本)
歌罗西书 3:16 你们要让基督的道丰丰富富地住在你们⼼⾥,以各样的智慧,彼此教导,互相劝 戒,⽤诗章、圣诗、灵歌,怀着感恩的⼼歌颂神。(新译本)
Colossians 3:15-16 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms, hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. (NKJV)
很多时候,我们让惧怕在我们⼼⾥作主。甚⾄是怀疑、后悔、嫉妒和⽐较在我们⼼⾥作主。但圣经告诉我们要让基督的平安在我们⼼⾥作主。如何作主呢? 第十六节告诉我们要让基督的道丰丰富富地住在我们⼼⾥。教会,是时候我们打开实体圣经了。 使⽤实体圣经是好的,因为使⽤⼿机的圣经程序会备受⼲扰,例如⼴告和诱⼈的优惠,这些会在你阅读圣经的时候不时弹跳出来。你是否意识到,有时当你很兴奋地研读神的话语时,会突然受到电话和需要⽴即处理的的事情的打扰? 你能猜到 原因吗?这是恶者在作祟,它不要让神的⼉⼥接触到神的话。它知道,每当你接触 神的话语时,神的祝福就会在你的⽣命中⼤⼤流淌。因此,暂且把你的⼿机放⼀边,打开你的实体圣经,让基督的话语以诸般的智慧丰 丰富富地存在于你们⼼⾥,⽤诗章 (来⾃诗篇) 和圣诗 (藉着圣灵启⽰所创作的歌曲)彼此教导和互相劝诫,和灵歌(圣灵的语⾔,说⽅⾔),怀着感恩的⼼歌颂神。 当你沮丧或⾯临困境时,来开始⽅⾔祷告,让圣灵为你祷告。阿们!以感恩的⼼来歌唱——你得救是本乎恩,不是藉着⾏为,⽽是靠主耶稣基督的恩典。
Very often, fear is the one who is ruling in our hearts. Doubts and sometimes regrets will also rule, and jealousy and envy. But the bible tells us to let the peace of God rule in our hearts. How? Verse 16 tells us to let the word of Christ dwell in us. Church, it is time we open our bible. It is good to use the physical bible because there are many distractions in the online bible in your phone, such as advertisements and irresistible offers which will pop out while you are in the midst of reading the bible. Do you realize that sometimes, when you are excited to study the word of God, you are suddenly bombarded with phone calls and things which need your immediate attention? Can you guess why? It is the devil at work. He does not want the child of God to touch the word of God. He knows that every time you touch the word of God, the manifestation of God’s blessing is going to flow greatly in your life. Therefore, put away your phone, open your physical bible and let the word of Christ dwell richly in you, in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms (from the book of Psalms) and hymns (songs created through inspiration from God) and spiritual songs (the language of the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues), singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. When you feel down and out, or face a difficult situation, start speaking in tongues and let the Holy Spirit pray for you. Amen. Singing with grace in your heart – it is by grace that you are saved, not by works but by grace through the Lord Jesus Christ.
