希伯来书 11:1 信就是所望之事的实底,是未见之事的确据。(现代标点和合本)
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. ( NIV)
信,是我们属灵的眼光,而非属世的眼光。虽然有时我们还不见所要的结果,但圣经教导我们,要运用属灵的眼光来认清我们所处的境况。我们的属天真实,以及在天上的真实身份,使我们在基督里拥有了一切的祝福。因此,当我们以属灵的眼光来看待万事,并以属灵的眼光来说话时,我们就能在地上经历来自天上的果实。阿们!
Faith is our spiritual sight, not our earthly sight. Although there are times we do not see what we want to see, the Bible teaches us to use our spiritual sight to define our situations. Our heavenly reality—and our true identity in the heavenly places—means that we have already been blessed with every spiritual blessing in Christ. Hence, define using our heavenly sight, speak using our heavenly sight, and we will experience fruits from the heavenly realm in the earthly world.
