The Ministry of the Holy Spirit
圣灵的工作
“By this we know that we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit” (1 John 4:13).
“神将他的灵赐给我们,从此就知道我们是住在他里面,他也住在我们里面。”(约翰一书4:13)
In John 14:26, Jesus described the Holy Spirit as “the Helper.” One of the most important ways He helps us is by assuring us that we belong to God. Several works of the Holy Spirit, if present in our lives, give evidence of the genuineness of our salvation. In 1 Corinthians 12:3 Paul writes, “No one can say, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ except by the Holy Spirit.” Apart from the convicting work of the Holy Spirit, you would not know who Christ was, nor would you confess Him as Savior and Lord. If you have experienced that work of the Holy Spirit, that is evidence you are a true child of God.
在约翰福音14章26节中,耶稣描述圣灵为“帮助者”。圣灵帮助我们的一个最重要的方式就是确保我们是属神的。圣灵的一些工作在我们生活中,给我们得救的确实性。在哥林多前书12:3节中保罗写道:“若不是被圣灵感动的,也没有能说“耶稣是主的”。若没有圣灵的定罪工作,你将不会知道耶稣基督是谁,你也不能认祂为救主和主。如果你经历了圣灵的工作,那就是你是上帝真正孩子的确据。
Another essential ministry of the Spirit is that of illuminating Scripture. First John 2:27 says, “The anointing which you received from Him abides in you . . . His anointing teaches you about all things.” Do you understand the Bible when you read it? Does it convict you of sin? Does it lead you to rejoice and worship God? If so, that is evidence of the Spirit’s illuminating work in your life.
圣灵另一项基本工作就是阐释圣经上的话。约翰一书2:27:“你们从主所受的恩膏,常存在你们心里,并不用人教训你们。自有主的恩膏在凡事上教训你们。”当你读这段经文时,你是否明白呢?是否让你知罪?是否引导你喜乐来敬拜上帝?如果是的,那就是圣灵在你生命中引导工作的证据。
Do you long for intimate fellowship with God? That, too, is the result of the Spirit’s work in your life (Gal. 4:6). Do you feel compelled to praise God? The filling of the Spirit produces praise (Eph. 5:19). Does your life manifest the fruit of the Spirit (Gal. 5:22-23)? Are one or more of the gifts of the Spirit operating in your life (1 Cor. 12)? Those, too, are evidences of the Spirit’s work in your life.
你渴慕与上帝有个亲密关系吗?这也是圣灵在你生命中的工作(加拉太书4:6)。你是否觉得是被迫赞美上帝?被圣灵充满产生赞美(以弗所书5:19)。你的生命是否结出圣灵的果子(加拉太书5:22-23)?你的生命中是否有一个或是多个圣灵的恩赐再发挥作用(哥林多前书12)?这些,也是圣灵在你生命中工作的证据。
All of those ministries of the Holy Spirit are the way He “bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God” (Rom. 8:16). If they are manifest in your life, they provide evidence that you abide in God and He in you (1 John 4:13). Let the Holy Spirit’s work in your life dispel the dark shadows of doubt.
所有这些圣灵的工作都是他“与我们的心同证我们是神的儿女”(罗马书8:16)的方式。如果这些都在你的生命中出现,那就证明你在上帝的里面,他也在你里面(约翰一书4:13)。让圣灵在你的生命中作工,驱除一切疑惑的阴影。
Pray that God would help you examine your life for evidence of the Spirit’s work.
祷告上帝可以帮助我们察验生命中圣灵做工的证据。
进深研究
Read 1 John 3:24.
阅读约翰一书3:24
What is our part in obtaining assurance?
在获得确据上面我们的角色是什么?
Are there any commandments you are willfully violating? If so, confess them, repent of them, and begin to experience the blessedness of assurance.
是否有些诫命是你故意违犯的?如果是,承认并为它们悔改,然后开始经历信实的祝福。
