雅各书 1:18 他按自己的旨意用真道生了我们,叫我们在他所造的万物中,好像初熟的果子。(现代标点和合本)
James 1:18 Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures. (NKJV)
对那从道而生的新品种而言,无论神提醒我们如何说话、怎样行事、如何活出祂的生命,我们都可以坦然无惧地说:因我是从道而生的,我已先天性且系统性地继承了祂的生命与性情。因此,我不仅能讲说神的道,更能活出神的道!对我而言,活出神的道不是要求,乃是本能啊!我的本性、本能是活出圣道,而非跟随这世界的喧嚣与纷扰。阿们!
As a new creation born of the Word, no matter how God leads us to speak, act, or live out His life, we can boldly and confidently declare: Because I am born of the Word, I have inherently and systematically inherited His divine nature. Therefore, I am not only able to speak the Word of God, but also to live it out! Living according to His Word is not a demand—it is my instinct. My nature and instinct are to express the Word, not to follow the noise and chaos of this world. Amen!
