How can we consistently live in a way that honors God? Discover who the Holy Spirit is and the importance of the Spirit-filled life for every child of God. Understand the gifts and fruit of the Spirit and learn how to be more dependent on the Lord as you apply the truth about the Holy Spirit in your life.
Why is it important to know the Holy Spirit?
The Christian life is not hard. It is impossible. It is a miraculous and supernatural life.
For example, how will you follow the teachings of Jesus when He tells you, "love your enemy," "do good to those who hate you," "forgive those who abuse you"?
Today, most people will react when you do something offensive, abusive or simply irritating to them; often, they will retaliate. They will never understand how in the world we can love the "unlovable". That's why even many Christian marriages do not last, because couples don't understand the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit, that we were never meant to live the Christian life on our own strength.
Christianity is not what you do for God, but what He does for you, in you and through you by His Spirit. The problem is not God, but us. We limit Him in our lives. The problem with many of us is not because God does not want to help us. God has provided everything; the only problem is our ignorance or refusal to avail of His provision.
but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth.~Acts 1:8
And the disciples were continually filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit. ~Acts 13:52
为什么认识圣灵很重要?
基督徒的生活并不艰难。 是不可能的。 这是一个神奇而超自然的生命。
例如,当耶稣告诉你“爱你的敌人”、“善待那些恨你的人”、“宽恕那些虐待你的人”时,你将如何遵循耶稣的教导呢?
今天,当你做了一些冒犯、辱骂或只是激怒他们的事情时,大多数人都会做出反应; 通常,他们会报复。 他们永远不会明白,在这个世界上我们怎么能去爱那些“不可爱的人”。 这就是为什么许多基督徒的婚姻也无法长久,因为夫妻不明白圣灵的超自然力量,我们从来不应该靠自己的力量过基督徒的生活。
基督教不是你为神所做的事,而是神通过他的灵在你里面、通过你为你所做的事。 问题不在于上帝,而在于我们。 我们限制他在我们的生活中。 我们许多人的问题并不是因为神不想帮助我们。神已经提供了一切;神已经提供了一切。 唯一的问题是我们无知或拒绝利用他的供应。
但当圣灵降临在你们身上,你们就必得着能力; 并要在耶路撒冷、犹太全地和撒玛利亚,直到地极,作我的见证。 ~ 使徒行传 1:8
门徒们不断地被喜乐和圣灵充满。 ~ 使徒行传 13:52
"The great difference between present-day Christianity and that of which we read in [the New Testament epistles] is that to us it is primarily a performance, to them it was a real experience." ~ JB Phillips
(What will you do once you have the Holy Spirit? You'll have power, and what will you do? "And you shall be My witnesses," so you will be the representative of Jesus Christ on earth to reflect who He is. The witnessing is secondary, the primary goal is to make sure you have the power of the Holy Spirit.)
God has given us His Spirit to enable us to fully experience the amazing, supernatural plan He has for our lives.
I. Who Is the Holy Spirit?
Romans 8:9-10 "However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him. If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness.
2 Corinthians 3:17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
“当今的基督教与我们在[新约书信]中读到的基督教之间的巨大区别在于,对我们来说,这主要是一种表演,对他们来说,这是一种真实的经历。” 〜JB菲利普斯
(一旦你有了圣灵,你会做什么?你就会有能力,你会做什么?“你们要作我的见证人”,所以你将成为耶稣基督在地上的代表,反映他是谁。 见证是次要的,主要目标是确保你拥有圣灵的能力。)
神赐给我们他的灵,使我们能够充分体验他对我们生命所制定的奇妙、超自然的计划。
一、圣灵是谁?
罗马书 8:9-10 “如果神的灵住在你们心里,你们就不属肉体,乃属圣灵了。人若没有基督的灵,就不是属基督的。 身体因罪而死,心灵却因义而活。
(2 Corinthians 3:17) 主就是灵,主的灵在那里,那里就有自由。
