雅各书 4:7 故此,你们要顺服神。务要抵挡魔鬼,魔鬼就必离开你们逃跑了。(现代标点和合本)
James 4:7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. ( NKJV)
亲爱的,在这个经节中,神不是说祂去抵挡,而是你负起责任!你我怎有这样的底气去抵挡魔鬼呢?除非你真知道:不同于旧约,藉着十字架,仇敌已彻底被打败了,神已把所有的得胜、权柄、能力都给了你。为此,不要枉费这么荣耀的恩典,乃要淋漓尽致地挥洒之、享用之!争战早已结束,我们已经得胜有余了。
Beloved, in this verse, God isn’t saying He will resist the devil — you are to take responsibility! But how can we have the confidence to resist the devil? Only when we truly understand this: unlike in the Old Testament, the enemy has already been completely defeated through the cross. God has given you all the victory, authority, and power. So don’t let this glorious grace go to waste—embrace it fully and walk in it boldly! The battle has already been won. We are more than conquerors.
