约翰一书 第5章|Book of 1 John 5

【竭力相信得永生】

主讲：郑伟健同工 + 陈炎明牧师

14/12/2022

引言：信的力量

永生的奖赏是白白赐给我们的，但是需要信心去得着。而信心是需要相信加上行动和耐心等候加上盼望并且永不放弃的念头。

一、信心胜过世界 V1-12

1.信心是重生的记号 V1-2

凡相信耶稣是基督的，都是从神而生的。我们没办法再一次回到母腹再一次诞生。但是当我们相信耶稣基督时，我们的生命就与耶稣基督一样同死同埋葬同复活，得重生的记号。

2.信心使人胜过世界 V3-5

重生的生命使人能遵守神的诫命，胜过世界的信心就是相信耶稣是神的儿子，明白救恩真理的源头就是祂。我们可以得胜是因为我们相信耶稣活着，祂也住在我们里面！

二、相信神的见证 V6-12

1.信心乃是源自于神 V6-10

水和血见证了主耶稣基督在十字架上的救赎之恩。耶稣基督不但有水和血为祂见证，还有圣灵作见证，而圣灵就是真理的灵。一个人得救的信心在乎是否信神。相信的人就有圣灵住在他的里面。人靠着肉体不能领受神的救恩。

2.神儿子里见证永生 V11-12

神白白赐给人耶稣基督，就是神的儿子，来见证祂所赐给我们的永生。耶稣本身就是生命，人若有了耶稣基督，就有了生命。对于重生的我们来说，基督就是我们的生命。

三、得永生的确据 V13-21

1.永生的确据 V13

约翰是给已经相信神儿子的信徒写的，目的是要我们确定我们对主的信心，我们是有永生在我们里面的。

2.祷告的确据 V14-17

我们既是相信我们有永生神在我们里面，我们就有了祷告的确据。只要是照祂的旨意求，祂就听我们。为犯了不至于死的罪的弟兄代祷，是指为未信主的，被世界迷惑的，离开神的弟兄姐妹祷告。这是神的旨意，神不愿有一人沉沦，乃愿人人都悔改。

3.得胜的确据 V18-21

约翰重申了得胜的三个确据： 第一：我们知道凡从神生的，必不犯罪。
第二：我们知道我们是属神的。
第三：我们知道可以与神相交。

既然我们已经知道这是真神，在祂里面有永生。我们就务必要保守我们自己，远离偶像，避免离开神。神的儿女有责任自守，因信就靠神的能力保守自己。

总结：竭力相信，活在永生里！

相信永生神必要相信神必赐给我们得胜的力量！ 重生得救在于：（1）与神相交（2）住在主里面（3）属神的（4）认识神（5）从神而生（6）有生命（7）有永生。

1 John 5: Believing will receive eternal life with all your might
GK611 Morning Devotion

Speaker: Asher Chang + Rev David Tan

Introduction: The Power of Faith

The prize of eternal life is freely given to us, but it takes faith to receive it. And faith requires believing and acting and waiting patiently and hoping and has the thought of never give up.

1. Faith overcomes the world V1-12

(1) Faith is the sign of rebirth V1-2

Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God. There is no way for us to go back to our mother's womb once again to be born again. But when we believe in Jesus Christ, our lives are buried and resurrected with Jesus Christ, and we receive the sign of rebirth.

(2) Faith leads to victory over the world V3-5

Born-again life enables one to keep the commandments of God. The faith that overcomes the world is the faith that Jesus is the Son of God and that the source of the truth of salvation is Him. We can overcome because we believe that Jesus lives and that He dwells in us!

2. Believing God's Testimony V6-12

(1) Faith is of God's origin V6-10

The water and blood testify to the saving grace of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross. Jesus Christ not only has water and blood as His witnesses, but also the Holy Spirit, who is the Spirit of Truth. A person's faith in salvation depends on whether he believes in God or not. He who believes has the Holy Spirit dwelling in him. Man cannot receive the salvation of God by the flesh.

(2) The testimony of eternal life in the Son of God V11-12

God freely gave man Jesus Christ, the Son of God, to testify to the eternal life He has given us. Jesus himself is life, and if a man has Jesus Christ, he has life. For us who are born again, Christ is our life.

3.The evidence of eternal life V13-21

(1) Evidence of Eternal Life V13

John writes to believers who have already believed in the Son of God, in order that we may be sure of our faith in the Lord, and that we have eternal life in us.

(2) Evidence of prayer V14-17

As we believe that we have the living God in us, we have the evidence of prayer. If we ask according to His will, He will hear us. To intercede for brothers who have committed sins that unlikely leads to death means to pray for unbelievers, brothers and sisters who are confused by the world and have left God. It is God's will that no one should perish, but that all should repent.

(3) The assurance of victory V18-21

John reiterates three assurance of victory.
First, We know that whoever is born of God will not sin.
Secondly, we know that we belong to God.
Third: We know that we can have fellowship with God.
Now that we know that this is the true God, and that in Him is eternal life. It is imperative that we keep ourselves from idols and avoid leaving God. It is the duty of the children of God to keep themselves, and to keep themselves by the power of God through faith.

Conclusion: Believe with all your might and live in eternal life!

Believing in the living God is necessary to believe that God will give us the power to overcome!
Salvation by regeneration consists in: (1) fellowship with God (2) abiding in the Lord (3) belonging to God (4) knowing God (5) being born of God (6) having life (7) having eternal life.
