歌罗西书第1章：荣耀的结果GK611晨祷生命读经 01/07/2025 主讲: 陈炎明牧师 引言：好东西几乎都需要经历“转化”的过程！ 一、福音果子中的信望爱（西1:1-8） 我们要成为基督福音的执事，即是忠心去结果子的人。最终要忠心的活出【信心】、【爱心】、【盼望】这三种果子，这也是属灵生命的真实标志。我们要从这三方面反思自己的信仰： 1.是否有信心的果子？ 信心即是凡事能够积极的一面，相信神能够改变一切，在人不能，在神凡事都能。于是就可以积极的感恩赞美，甚至在困难重重的处境中，看到问题已经交托在神手中。放下而非放弃，只信问题必会过去。 2.是否有爱心的果子？ 我们是否在爱中活出真实的信仰？我们身旁的家人、配偶、肢体能够很确定的说：“你是一位有爱心的人吗？”你有爱心的生命，你身旁的人必然充满感恩而喜乐。 3.是否有盼望的果子？ 有了真盼望的人脸上就自然显出有光、有笑容、有力量。可以毫无胆怯的面对人生，因为知道即使眼前的困难很“黑暗”，对神的【盼望】却让我们看到未来的结果将会“很亮”啊！ 二、爱子国里完成神旨意(西1:9-14) 保罗的祷告揭示属灵生命成长的路径： 1.满心知道神的旨意（V9） 明白神的旨意是一种属灵的智慧，好让我们明白许多人生中的“为什么”？当日子不顺利、生活很艰难、看不到出路的时候，我们的祷告常会问神：“为什么”？原来突破、得胜、荣耀···都是隐藏在苦难的背后，这是神的旨意啊！ 2.蒙主喜悦结出善果（V10） 我们要如何在行事为人上对得起主？凡事蒙主喜悦？就是要结出美善的果子。如果生活中都是美好的事情，恐怕我们还不容易显出我们的果子是美善的；正因为环境艰难，而我们却满了信望爱的果子，这才显出善果不是吗？ 3.力上加力忍耐宽容（V11） 神荣耀的权能力量是什么呢？不要以为只有医病赶鬼的神迹才是圣灵的权能力量。神的话说“在各样事上力上加力···”，而且显出忍耐和宽容的力量，这才是基督堂真正的力量啊！ 祷告不只为“需要”，更为“属灵深度与成熟”；我们要不断被更新，脱离黑暗，进入光明国度。 三、万有之主使关系和好（西1:15-22） 1.耶稣是万有之首（V15-18） 你是否理解这段经文的启示？原来地上万有，甚至天上的一切，看得见的、看不见的，都是靠主而造，也是为主而造的。所以我们岂能不明白我们的人生目标，生存的意义是什么呢？全然为着祂的旨意而活啊！而祂的旨意就是上面第二大点那里所说的。 2.修复一切的关系（V19-22） 关系和谐美好的人生才是快乐的！你想想你和神的关系美好吗？拦阻我们和神的亲密关系是罪，如果有什么生命习惯中的软弱没有被放下，我们和神的关系就有隔阂；与神隔阂就带来与人关系的阻碍。魔鬼就有机会让你失去丰盛的生命，而是充满了苦毒仇恨等负面情绪。然而在基督里的生命却是和好、圣洁、无瑕疵无可指责的啊！ 四、荣耀盼望的福音执事（西1:23-29） 属灵的成熟和教会的建造是要付代价的；“基督在你们心里成了有荣耀的盼望”是奥秘中的荣耀核心。即是说越是看到眼前的问题，我们的思维要快速的转向相反的，最终的荣耀结果是什么？那就是神要成就的荣耀结果。 作为福音的领受者，也是福音的代言人，我们委身事奉、甘心受苦，以传扬、警戒、教导的方式帮助人，成熟于在基督里的生命，用各样的智慧把人完完全全的引到神面前。 总结：荣耀的得胜 荣耀生命的蓝图是需要经过对准真理的转化过程！Colossians 1 Glorious ResultGK611 Morning Devotion 01/07/2025 The Morning Devotion Speaker: Rev David Tan Introduction: Almost all good things need to go through the process of "transformation"! I. Faith, Hope and Love in the Fruits of the Gospel (Col. 1:1-8) We need to be ministers of the gospel of Christ, that is, people who are faithful in bearing fruit. Ultimately, we need to faithfully live out the three fruits of faith, love, and hope, which are also the true signs of spiritual life. We need to reflect on our faith from these three aspects: 1. Is there the fruit of faith? Faith is the positive side of everything, believing that God can change everything. What man cannot do, God can do. So, you can actively give thanks and praise, and even in difficult situations, see that the problem has been entrusted to God. Let go but don't give up, just believe that the problem will pass. 2. Is there the fruit of love? Do we live out our true faith in love? Our family, spouse, and members around us can say with certainty: "Are you a loving person?" If you have a loving life, the people around you will surely be full of gratitude and joy. 3. Is there the fruit of hope? People with true hope will naturally have light, smiles, and strength on their faces. They can face life without fear, because they know that even if the difficulties in front of them are "dark", the "hope" in God will make us see that the future results will be "bright"! II. Fulfilling God’s Will in the Kingdom of His Son (Col. 1:9-14) Paul's prayer reveals the path to spiritual growth: 1. Knowing God's will with all your heart (V9) Understanding God's will is a kind of spiritual wisdom, which allows us to understand the "why" in many aspects of life. When things are not going well, life is difficult, and there is no way out, we often ask God in our prayers: "Why?" It turns out that breakthroughs, victory, glory... are all hidden behind suffering. This is God's will! 2. Bear good fruit in the Lord’s favour (V10) How should we live up to the Lord in our conduct? Bear good fruit in the Lord’s favour in everything? If life is full of good things, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to show that our fruit is good; it is precisely because the environment is difficult, but we are full of the fruit of faith, hope and love, that we can show good fruit, right? 3. Strength upon strength, patience and tolerance (V11) What is the power of God’s glory? Don’t think that only the miracles of healing and casting out demons are the power of the Holy Spirit. God’s word says, “strengthen in every way…” and shows the power of patience and tolerance. This is the true power of Christ Church! Prayer is not only for "needs" but also for "spiritual depth and maturity"; we need to be constantly renewed, escape from darkness, and enter the kingdom of light. III. The Lord of All Reconciles Relationships (Col. 1:15-22) 1. Jesus is the head of all things (V15-18) Do you understand the revelation of this passage? It turns out that everything on earth, even everything in heaven, visible and invisible, is created by the Lord and for the Lord. So how can we not understand our life goals and the meaning of existence? Live completely for His will! And His will is what is mentioned in the second major point above. 2. Repair all relationships (V19-22) A life with harmonious and beautiful relationships is a happy one! Do you think about your relationship with God? It is a sin to hinder our close relationship with God. If there are weaknesses in our life habits that have not been put down, there will be a gap between us and God; the gap with God will bring obstacles to our relationships with people. The devil will have the opportunity to make you lose your abundant life and be filled with negative emotions such as bitterness and hatred. However, life in Christ is reconciled, holy, flawless and blameless! IV. Ministers of the Gospel of Glory and Hope (Col. 1:23-29) Spiritual maturity and church building come at a price; "Christ in you becomes the hope of glory" is the glorious core of the mystery. That is to say, the more we see the problem in front of us, the faster our thinking should turn to the opposite. What is the final glorious result? That is the glorious result that God wants to accomplish. As recipients of the gospel and spokespersons of the gospel, we are committed to serving and willing to suffer, helping people to mature in life in Christ by preaching, warning, and teaching, and using all kinds of wisdom to lead people completely to God. Conclusion: Glorious Victory The blueprint for a glorious life requires a transformation process that is aligned with the truth!
