Four Spiritual Laws 四个属灵的定律

耶稣圣诞节是世界上两百多个国家的国家节日。耶稣受难节和复活节是世界上一百多个国家的国家节日。世界大多数地区的婴孩出生受洗仪式和逝世后的葬礼都会在基督教堂举行。耶稣受难节又和犹太民族的逾越节有关。每年在全世界各地教堂里参加和纪念主基督耶稣为人类流血赎罪的圣餐仪式的有20多亿人,占全球人口1/3。其中包括5亿多基督教新教基督徒,13亿天主教信徒和3亿多东正教信徒。这个仪式已经存在了两千年。这到底是什么意思呢?以下的这本小册子清楚阐明了其中的意义。使每个人凭自由选择可以和主耶稣基督建立个人的关系,他的圣灵可以住在您的心中,使你可以得到他的爱和新生命。

以下这本小册子过去数十年已经由基督徒校园团契在全世界发行了至少数亿本以上,用很简单清晰的方法让您明白其中的爱和真理。 如何能从出于尘土的亚当生命进入属天的基督生命呢?亚当希伯来文的意思是尘土,基督则是从天而来的。圣经说,若有人在基督里,就是新造的人。灵魂如何新创造呢?

四个属灵的定律

正如有许多物理的定律管理著这个物质的宇宙,同样,也有一些属灵的定律管理着你和神的关系:(如果你手头有一本圣经,请你打开它,对照着看)

law4-1


第一律:上帝爱你,并且为你的生命有个一奇妙的计划。

1.上帝的爱:
约翰福音3:16 神爱世人,甚至将他的独生子(耶稣)赐给他们,叫一切信他的,不至灭亡,反得永生。
2.上帝的计划:
约翰福音10:10 耶稣说:我来了是要叫人得生命,并且得的更丰盛。(更有意义的生活)
为什么大多数的人没有经验过这种丰盛的生命呢?那是因为……

第二律:人因有罪而与上帝隔绝,所以不能知道并经验上帝的爱和上帝为他生命的计划。

law4-2

1.人因有罪:
罗马书3:23 因为世人都犯了罪,亏缺了神的荣耀。
神创造人原是要人享受与他同在一起的快乐,但因各人任性,偏行己路,背向真神,以致与神隔绝。这种向神任性的态度,使人对神漠不关心或公开反对,就是圣经所说的罪。
2.与上帝隔绝:
罗马书6:23 因为罪的工价乃是死。(灵性与神隔绝)
圣洁的神与有罪的人中间,有深渊隔绝。虽然人不断地用自己的方法,就如善行、道德、宗教、哲学等,来寻求神和丰盛的生命,但是总得不着。

第三律告诉我们这难题唯一的答案……

第三律:耶稣基督是神为人的罪所预备的唯一救法。籍着他你可以知道并经验神的爱和神为你生命的计划。

law4-3

1.耶稣为我们死:
看哪,神的羔羊,除去世人罪孽的!这杯是用我血所立的新约,是为你们流出来的… 知道你们得赎…乃是凭着基督的宝血,如同无瑕疵、无玷污的羔羊之血。唯有基督在我们还作罪人的时侯为我们死,神的爱就在此向我们显明了。

圣餐仪式的起源可以追溯到耶稣在最后的晚餐上与他的门徒一起吃饭时,他把面包和葡萄酒分给他们,并告诉他们这些代表了他的身体和血。圣餐是为了纪念耶稣基督在十字架上为人类流血赎罪和复活。

2.耶稣从死里复活:
基督照圣经所说,为我们的罪死了,而且埋葬了,又照圣经所说,第三天复活了。
3.耶稣基督是唯一的道路:
约翰福音14:6 耶稣说:“我就是道路、真理、生命;若不籍着我,没有人能到父(神)那里去。”
神差他的独生儿子耶稣基督,为我们的罪成为代罪羔羊死在十字架上,成为神与人中间的桥梁,沟通了两者之间的深渊。
只知道以上三个定律还不够……

第四律:我们必须亲自接受耶稣基督作救主和生命的主,这样我们才能知道并经验神的爱和神为我们生命的计划。

law4-4

1.我们必须接受基督:
凡接待他的,就是信他名的人,他就赐他们权柄做神的儿女。
2.我们藉着信心接受基督:
你们得救是本乎恩,也因着信,这并不是出于自己,乃是神所赐的,也不是出於行为, 免得有人自夸。
3.我们必须亲自邀请基督进入心中:
启示录3:20 耶稣说:“看哪,我站往门外叩门,若有听见我声音就开门的,我要进到他那里去。我与他,他与我,一同坐席。”
接受基督包括从自我转向神,相信基督进入我们的生命,赦免我们的罪,使我们成为神喜悦的人。人只在理智上同意关于基督的真理,或只有一些情感的经验,都是不够的。

law4-5


你现在就可以藉著祷告接受基督(祷告就是和神交谈):
神知道你的心,他看重你内心的态度,过于你的言语,下面的祷告可作参考:
神啊,我需要你。我愿意打开心门接受耶稣作我的救主和生命的主。感谢你赦免我的罪求你管理我的一生,使我成为你所喜悦的人。奉主耶稣的名祷告,阿门。
这个祷告是否合乎你的心愿?如果是,请你现在就作同样的祷告,基督就会照著他的应许进入你的生命。

怎样知道基督已在你的生命中
你有没有请基督进入你的生命?根据启示录3:20神的应许,现在基督是否在你心里?
基督应许进入你的生命,他会失信吗?你有什么根据知道神答应了你的祷告?(根据神的信实和他可靠的话——圣经)

圣经应许凡接受基督的人都有永生
约翰一书5:11-13 这见证就是神赐给我们永生,这永生也是在他儿子里面。人有了神的儿子就有生命,没有神的儿子就没有生命。我将这些话写给你们信奉神儿子之名的人,要叫你们知道自己有永生。
要常常感谢神,因为基督已进入你的生命,并且永不离开你(希伯来书13:5)
当你照着神的应许,请他进入你心时,就能知道复活的基督已在你的生命中,并且已将永生赐给你,因为他绝不会欺骗你。

law4-6

关于感觉怎样呢?
不要依靠感觉:我们信仰的根据,是圣经可靠的应许,不是我们容易改变的感觉。基督徒的信心生活是根据神的信实和圣经的可靠。
我们可以用火车的结构图说明事实(神和他的话)、信心(我们信靠神和他的话和感觉我们信靠和顺服的结果)三者之间的关系。(约翰福音14:21)

车头不论有没有车厢都可以开动。但是若用车厢拉动车头是不可能的。照样,我们基督徒不应该靠感觉或情绪,而是把我们的信心放在神的信实和他话语的应许上。

law4-7.jpg

现在你已经接受了基督:
当你凭信心接受基督的时侯,你的生命已经发生了许多改变,至少包括下面几点:
1.基督已经进入你的生命(启示录3:20;歌罗西书1:27)。
2.你的罪已经得到赦免(歌罗西书2:13)。
3.你已经成为神的儿女(约翰福音1:12)。
4.你已经开始了神为你计划的新生命(约翰福音10:10;哥林多后书5:17;帖撒罗尼迦前书5:18)。
接受基督实在是你人生中最奇妙的事。你现在愿意祷告,感谢神为你所做的事吗?感谢的祷告就是信心的表示。

还有什么呢?
属灵生命长进的建议:
属灵生命长进是从信靠耶稣基督而来。(义人必因信得生)(加拉太书3:11)
信心的生话会使你在凡事上更依靠神 ,並实行下面各项:
1.每天向神祷告(约翰福音15:7)
2.每天研读圣经(使徒行传 17:11)—可从约翰福音开始
3.时刻顺服神 (约翰福音14:21)
4.每天籍着你的生活言行为基督作见证(马太福音4:19;约翰福音15:8)
5.在你一切所行的事上,都依靠神 (彼得前书5:7)
6.让圣灵管理你每天的生话,并赐你能力为基督作见证(加拉太书5:16;使徒行传1:8)

参加基督教会或基督信徒团契的重要:
希伯来书10:25教训我们:“不可停止聚会……。”几根木材一起燃烧就光热倍增,若将一根抽出,放在一旁,热火就会熄灭。你和其他基督徒的关系也是一样。如果你尚未加入基督教会,不必等人邀请,请主动参加附近的一个基督教会。从这个星期开始,按时参加基督教会的聚会。切勿认为教会就是一栋建筑;教会是人的群体。基督徒之间的交通很重要,这是教会的主要目的之一。现在你已经信仰基督,我们特别鼓励你在附近找一间相信圣经的基督教会并且跟牧师谈谈,告诉他你的新信仰。

英文版:Four Spiritual Laws

Courtesy from Campus Crusade for Christ

Step 1

Just as there are physical laws that govern the physical universe, so are there spiritual laws that govern your relationship with God.

law 1


God loves you and offers a wonderful plan for your life.

God’s Love
“God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16, NIV).

God’s Plan
[Christ speaking] “I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly”
[that it might be full and meaningful] (John 10:10).

Why is it that most people are not experiencing that abundant life?

Because…
Man is sinful and separated from God. Therefore, he cannot know and experience God’s love and plan for his life.

Step 2

Man is Sinful
“All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).

Man was created to have fellowship with God; but, because of his own stubborn self-will, he chose to go his own independent way and fellowship with God was broken. This self-will, characterized by an attitude of active rebellion or passive indifference, is an evidence of what the Bible calls sin.

law 2.gif

Man Is Separated
“The wages of sin is death” [spiritual separation from God] (Romans 6:23).

This diagram illustrates that God is holy and man is sinful. A great gulf separates the two. The arrows illustrate that man is continually trying to reach God and the abundant life through his own efforts, such as a good life, philosophy, or religion -but he inevitably fails.

Step 3

The third law explains the only way to bridge this gulf…
Jesus Christ is God’s only provision for man’s sin. Through Him you can know and experience God’s love and plan for your life.

He Died In Our Place
“God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8).

He Rose from the Dead
“Christ died for our sins… He was buried… He was raised on the third day, according to the Scriptures… He appeared to Peter, then to the twelve. After that He appeared to more than five hundred…” (1 Corinthians 15:3-6).

He Is the Only Way to God
“Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father but through Me’” (John 14:6).

law 3


This diagram illustrates that God has bridged the gulf that separates us from Him by sending His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross in our place to pay the penalty for our sins.
It is not enough just to know these three laws… We must individually receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord; then we can know and experience God’s love and plan for our lives.

Step 4

We Must Receive Christ
“As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name” (John 1:12).

We Receive Christ Through Faith
“By grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as result of works that no one should boast” (Ephesians 2:8,9).

When We Receive Christ, We Experience a New Birth (Read John 3:1-8.)

We Receive Christ Through Personal Invitation
[Christ speaking] “Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if any one hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him” (Revelation 3:20).

Receiving Christ involves turning to God from self (repentance) and trusting Christ to come into our lives to forgive our sins and to make us what He wants us to be. Just to agree intellectually that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that He died on the cross for our sins is not enough. Nor is it enough to have an emotional experience. We receive Jesus Christ by faith, as an act of the will.

law 4

These two circles represent two kinds of lives:
Self-Directed Life
Christ-Directed Life
S
Self is on the throne

Christ is in the life and on the throne

Christ is outside the life
S
Self is yielding to Christ

Interests are directed by self, often resulting in discord and frustration

Interests are directed by Christ, resulting in harmony with God’s plan
Which circle best represents your life?
Which circle would you like to have represent your life?

The following explains how you can receive Christ:

You Can Receive Christ Right Now by Faith Through Prayer (Prayer is talking with God)

God knows your heart and is not so concerned with your words as He is with the attitude of your heart. The following is a suggested prayer:

Lord Jesus, I need You. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life and receive You as my Savior and Lord. Thank You for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Take control of the throne of my life. Make me the kind of person You want me to be.
Does this prayer express the desire of your heart? If it does, I invite you to pray this prayer right now, and Christ will come into your life, as He promised.

Now that you have received Christ
