基督徒的生活（宗教教育系-分享会-Acts-12-0102）
什么是基督徒的生活？
我们受洗之刻就必须要脱去从前行为上的旧人，并且穿上照着真神之形像所造的新人。我们的生活当符合神的教导与训诲。
身为一个基督徒，何谓有意义的生活？
A、过着敬虔的生活
~为神的荣耀
赛43：7就是凡称为我名下的人，是我为自己的荣耀创造的，是我所做成、所造作的。
~作虔诚的后裔
玛2：15虽然神有灵的余力能造多人，他不是单造一人吗？为何只造一人呢？乃是他愿人得虔诚的后裔。所以当谨守你们的心，谁也不可以诡诈待幼年所娶的妻。
~敬畏神，谨守祂的诫命
传12：13这些事都已听见了，总意就是敬畏神，谨守他的诫命，这是人所当尽的本分。
~感谢父神
弗5：20凡事要奉我们主耶稣基督的名，常常感谢父神。
~在祂里面生根建造，信心坚固
西2：7在祂里面生根建造，信心坚固，正如你们所领的教训，感谢的心也更增长了。
~爱我们的主，尽心尽意诚诚实实地行在主面前
王上2：4耶和华必成就向我所应许的话说：'你的子孙若谨慎自己的行为，尽心尽意、诚诚实实地行在我面前，就不断人坐以色列的国位。
王上15：5因为大卫除了赫人乌利亚那件事，都是行耶和华眼中看为正的事，一生没有违背耶和华一切所吩咐的。
申6：5你要尽心、尽性、尽力爱耶和华你的神。
~爱人如己
可12：30-31你要尽心、尽性、尽意、尽力爱主你的神。31其次就是说：要爱人如己。再没有比这两条诫命更大的了。
~用诚实、公义、正直的心，行在真神的面前。
王上3：6所罗门说："你仆人我父亲大卫用诚实、公义、正直的心行在你面前，你就向他大施恩典；又为他存留大恩，赐他一个儿子坐在他的位上，正如今日一样。
弥6：8世人哪，耶和华已指示你何为善，他向你所要的是什么呢？只要你行公义，好怜悯，存谦卑的心，与你的神同行。
B、寻求永生
~当舍己，背起十字架跟从真神。
太16：24-2624于是，耶稣对门徒说："若有人要跟从我，就当舍己，背起他的十字架来跟从我。25因为凡要救自己生命的，必丧掉生命；凡为我丧掉生命的，必得着生命。26
人若赚得全世界，赔上自己的生命，有什么益处呢？人还能拿什么换生命呢？
~不可失去我们对主耶稣基督的信心
林后4：16-18所以，我们不丧胆。外体虽然毁坏，内心却一天新似一天。17我们这至暂至轻的苦楚，要为我们成就极重无比、永远的荣耀。18原来我们不是顾念所见的，乃是顾念所不见的；因为所见的是暂时的，所不见的是永远的。
C、灵修
灵修包括了祷告，查考圣经，敬拜真神，听道，参与教会聚会和拥有美德。
~在敬虔上操练自己
提前4：8-9操练身体，益处还少；惟独敬虔，凡事都有益处，因有今生和来生的应许。9 这话是可信的，是十分可佩服的。
~恐惧战兢地做成我们得救的工夫。
腓2：12这样看来，我亲爱的弟兄，你们既是常顺服的，不但我在你们那里，就是我如今不在你们那里，更是顺服的，就当恐惧战兢，做成你们得救的工夫。
WHAT IS CHRISTIAN
LIVING?
The moment we are
baptized, we need to discard our old man to put on the new man according to the
image of God. We have to live a life
which conforms to the ways and teachings of God.
How does one
define meaningful life as a Christian?
A.TO LIVE A GODLY
LIFE
~Live for the
glory of God.
Isa 43:7“Even every one that is called by my
name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I
have made him.
~Be a godly
offspring.
Mal 2:15And did not he make one? Yet had he
the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed.
Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the
wife of his youth.
~Fear God, and
keep His commandments.
Eccl 12:13Let us hear the conclusion of the
whole matter: Fear God, and keep His commandments: for this is the whole duty
of man.
~Give thanks to
God and the Father.
Eph 5:20Giving thanks always for all things
unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
~Be rooted and
built up in Him, established in the faith.
Col 2:7Rooted and built up in him, and
established in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with
thanksgiving.
~To love our Lord
is to walk before Him in truth with all our heart and soul.
1King 2:4That the LORD may continue his word
which he spoke concerning me, saying, If thy children take heed to their way,
to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there
shall not fail thee (said he) a man on the throne of Israel.
1King 15:5Because David did that which was
right in the eyes of the LORD, and turned not aside from anything that he
commanded him all the days of his life, save only in the matter of Uriah the
Hittite.
Deut 6:5And thou shalt love the LORD thy God
with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
~Love your
neighbour as yourself.
Mark 12:29-3129And Jesus answered
him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is
one Lord: 30And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this
is the first commandment. 31And the second is like, namely this,
Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment
greater than these.
~Walk before God
in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart.
1King 3:6And Solomon said, Thou hast shewed
unto thy servant David my father great mercy, according as he walked before
thee in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with thee; and
thou hast kept for him this great kindness, that thou hast given him a son to
sit on his throne, as it is this day.
Micah 6:8He hath shewed thee, O man, what is
good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love
mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
B.TO SEEK ETERNAL
LIFE
~Let him deny
himself, take up his cross and follow God.
Matt 16:24-2624Then said Jesus unto
his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take
up his cross, and follow me. 25For whosoever will save his life
shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. 26For
what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own
soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
~Do not lose
confidence and faith in our Lord Jesus.
2Cor 4:16-1816For which cause we
faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day
by day. 17For our light affliction, which is but for a moment,
worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; 18While
we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen:
for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen
are eternal.
C.HAVE SPIRITUAL
NURTURE
Spiritual nurture
includes praying, studying the bible, worshiping, listening to sermons,
attending church services and having good virtues.
~Exercise
yourself unto godliness.
1Tim 4:8-98For bodily exercise
profit little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of
the life that now is, and of that which is to come. 9This is a
faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.
~Work out your salvation with fear and trembling.
Phil 2:12Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have
always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence,
work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
