创世记 Genesis 1:24
创世记 1:24 神说：“地要⽣出活物来，各从其类...” (现代标点和合本)
Genesis 1:24 Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind…" (NKJV)
当神说地要⽣出各样活物，并各从其类的时候，祂设⽴了⼀个原则：万物各从其类。⽼⿏⽣⽼⿏，⽽不是⽣鸡；⼈所⽣出的也是 ⼈。 同样地，当圣经说你是从神⽽⽣的，那就意味着你现在拥有祂的性情。祂神圣的属性已经住在你⾥⾯。 那么，既然你知道⾃⼰是从神⽽⽣的，在⾯对挑战时你还会畏惧吗？不会。因为你现在不是靠着⾃⼰的⼒量去⾯对，⽽是以神⼉⼥的⾝份去⾯对。⾝为神的孩⼦，你可以带着信⼼和权柄向问题说话——如同神⼀样。 我们常常祷告，并等候神为我们动⼯，期待祂的⼿来帮助我们解决问题。但神其实在等我们开⼝，对问题发话。 当⼀个基督徒真正明⽩⾃⼰⾝为神⼉⼥所拥有的权柄时，他就会放胆地宣告：“这个问题不能辖制我，它已经在我的脚下。”那份不好的体检报告？它也已经在你脚下了。 你的话语充满能⼒，因为你不是被创造出来 的，也不是被领养回来的，⽽是从神⽣的。 作为祂的孩⼦，你与祂的性情有份，也拥有祂的权柄。阿们！
When God commanded the earth to bring forth living creatures according to their kind, He established a principle: every creature produces after its own kind. A mouse gives birth to a mouse, not a chicken. A human gives birth to another human. In the same way, when the Bible says that you are born of God, it means you now carry His nature. You have His divine qualities living within you. So, knowing that you are born of God, would you still be afraid when facing challenges? No. Because you are no longer facing them in your own strength. As a child of God, you can speak to the issues with confidence and authority— just as God would. So often, we pray and wait for God to move on our behalf, expecting His hand to fix our situation. But God is actually waiting for us to open our mouths and speak to the problem. When a Christian understands the authority he has as a child of God, he will begin to declare with boldness: This problem has no power over me—it is already under my feet. That bad medical report? It is already under your feet. Your words carry power, because you are not created or adopted, but you are born of God. And as His child, you carry His nature and His authority. Amen!
