Set Apart 分别为圣
John 17:17 Sanctify them by the truth, your word is truth.
约翰福音17:17 求你用真理使他们成圣,你的道就是真理。
Today know that although you are living in this world, but you do not belong to this world. The moment when you accepted Jesus, you have been transferred; you are redeemed and you are now in the kingdom of God. However, when you are still living in this world, what makes you different from the world? It is the Word of God. The world has no truth, but full of deceitfulness; but as the child of God, you have Jesus, and Jesus is the truth and Jesus is the Word.
Therefore, when the world is crying out of lack, you are sanctified by the Word of God. Sanctify means you are set apart. You are set apart from the lack of this world by the truth and by the Word, and the truth is Jesus has been made poor so that now you are rich in Him. When the world is crying out on new viruses, do you know that you are set apart from it? The Word of God tells you exactly the truth, and the truth is, God has set you apart and rescued you from all deadly pestilences! The moment when you know that, you will rely and focus on the Word of God instead of the word of man. Today, meditate on the Word, knowing that only the Word of God can set you apart, you are a new creation, blessed, loved, and highly favoured!
今天你当晓得,虽然你是生活在这个世界上,但却不属于这个世界。当你接受主耶稣为你生命的主的那一刻起,你的身份就被转换了;你已经被赎,现在你是在神的国度。但是,当你仍然生活在这个世界上时,是什么使你从世界分别出来?就是神的道,世界上的话没有真理,却充满迷惑;但作为神的孩子,你有耶稣,而耶稣是就是真理,耶稣就是道。
因此,当世界因着缺乏挣扎哭泣时,上帝的话使你成圣。成圣的意思是你是分别为圣的。藉着神的道,耶稣已经成了贫穷,好叫你在祂里头成为富足;当世界为着新的病毒品种而担忧时,你知道你是分别为圣的吗?神的话告诉你的就是真理,而真理就是,神已经把你分别为圣,并救你脱离致命的瘟疫!当你明白这一点,你会依靠并专注于祂的话,而不是人的话。今天,默想神的话,知道只有神的能将你分别为圣,你是新造的人,你是蒙福,是被爱和充满恩惠的!
