圣经问答 - 神的灵~Q&A - THE SPIRIT OF GOD


问:(i)真神的灵如何住在我们里面?

i)真神的灵是居住在我们的身体。

林前619岂不知你们的身子就是圣灵的殿吗?这圣灵是从神而来,住在你们里头的;并且你们不是自己的人;

真神的灵赐下后,住在我们身子里面,在我们心里引导、带领我们。神的灵住在我们心里面,是因着神的恩典和怜悯。我们蒙神的灵住在我们里面就可达到主耶稣基督所说的:使我们在主耶稣基督里面,而主耶稣基督也在我们里面。如何解释我们今天是在主耶稣基督里面呢?

约壹324遵守神命令的,就住在神里面;神也住在他里面。我们所以知道神住在我们里面是因他所赐给我们的圣灵。

今天我们能够住在神里面,遵守神的命令,居住在神的道中。我们知道真神住在我们里面是因着祂所赐给我们的圣灵。我们确实居住在主耶稣基督里面,在真神的道与灵里。我们今天所领受的圣灵,原是与主耶稣基督的灵同为一灵。

林前617但与主联合的,便是与主成为一灵。

今天我们确实与主耶稣基督的灵合而为一,所领受的是主耶稣基督的真灵。

问:(ii)请解释“属灵的智慧”?

ii)这属灵的智慧是来自上头,不是来自世界的智慧。

林前26-8然而,在完全的人中,我们也讲智慧。但不是这世上的智慧,也不是这世上有权有位、将要败亡之人的智慧。7我们讲的,乃是从前所隐藏、神奥秘的智慧,就是神在万世以前预定使我们得荣耀的。8这智慧世上有权有位的人没有一个知道的、他们若知道,就不把荣耀的主钉在十字架上了。

这智慧原来是从前所隐藏、神奥秘的智慧。倘若有权有位的世人拥有这智慧,他们就不会把荣耀的主钉在十字架上。我们将荣耀归给真神时,不是以世上的学问将荣耀归给真神。世上的智慧、学识,在真神的圣言与真道上根本不能帮助我们荣耀神的名。

主耶稣基督所拣选的圣仆中,有些是有极高的学识,对律法非常熟习的。蒙神拣选后,他们根本用不上世上所谓的学识、智慧。他们将这种智慧与世上的小学丢弃,完全依赖真神所赐、来自上头的智慧。

人所谓的智慧与真神的智慧根本没有任何关系。这属灵的智慧,正如主耶稣基督所说,是神赐给我们的,是保惠师圣灵的教导。

约壹227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。这恩膏是真的,不是假的;你们要按这恩膏的教训住在主里面。

因从主所领受的恩膏常存在我们心里,所以我们不用人的教训。这恩膏就是神的真理圣灵,在凡事上教我们。这恩膏是真的,是来自真神属灵的真智慧。

Questions: (i)How does the Spirit of God live within us?

(i) The Spirit of God lives within our bodies.

1Cor. 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

God bestows His Holy Spirit upon us and He stays within us to guide our hearts. The Holy Spirit of God abides in our hearts because of His grace and mercy. Having the Holy Spirit living within us fulfill the words of the Lord Jesus Christ “We abide in Him, and He in us”. What does it mean that we today are abiding in the Lord Jesus Christ?

1John 3:24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.

We are able to abide in the Lord Jesus Christ today by obeying His commandments and His words. We know that God lives within us through the Spirit. We indeed abide in God, in His truth and in His Spirit. The Spirit has made us one with the Lord Jesus.

1Cor. 6:17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. We are in fact joined to the Lord Jesus Christ in one Spirit, the true Spirit whom we have received from Him.

Questions: (ii)What is spiritual wisdom?

(ii) Spiritual wisdom is from above; it is not earthly wisdom

1Cor. 2:6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: 7But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: 8Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

Spiritual wisdom is a mystery that is hidden. It is the wisdom of God. None of the rulers or princes understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of Glory. When we give glory to God, we do not glorify Him in the wisdom and knowledge of this world.

Human wisdom and understanding cannot be measured against the wisdom of God, and therefore are unable to help us glorify Him. Amongst the apostles whom the Lord Jesus Christ had chosen, some were highly educated and well learned in law. After they were called and chosen by the Lord Jesus Christ, the wisdom and knowledge known to men were futile to them.

They had forgone the theories of men and relied wholly on the wisdom of God received from above. There is no relation between the wisdom of men and the wisdom of God. This spiritual wisdom as spoken by the Lord Jesus Christ is the wisdom given by God and taught to us by the Comforter, the Holy Spirit.

1John 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

We do not need the teachings of men because the anointing which we have received from God abides in us. This anointing is the Spirit of Truth, teaching us all things. The anointing is the truth itself, the spiritual knowledge which is from God.
