圣经教导信主的人当怎样敬拜主!
一. 敬拜的日子. 圣经记载的教训是七日的第一日.(徒2:1, 20:7, 林前16:1-2)
我知道,有人会辩,说,没有每周第一日的字句.
我只需提出一个非常简单的问题,就可叫能以常理思想的人顺服.
这个问题就是-->那一个星期天不是七日的第一日?
二. 聚会敬拜主的时候要吃主的晚餐记念主.
1. 主耶稣被卖的那一夜,拿起饼来,辟开递给门徒吃的时候,说,这是我的身体,是为你们辟开的.
你们拿着吃,为的是记念我.(林前11:24)
2. 饭后,他拿起杯来,说,这是我立新约的血,你们要这样行,为的是记念我.(林前11:25)
(有人要辩论,应该用一杯或多杯.我只说,请他们喝杯,我喝杯里的葡萄汁.)
3. 这是要宣告主的死,直等到他再来.(林前11:26)
4. 人若不按理吃这饼,喝这杯,就是得罪主的身,主的血了.(按理就是依照圣经教导的方法!)
5. 人必须先省察自己,才领受.(林前11:28)
6. 若不按理吃饼,喝葡萄汁,就会软弱,生病或是死亡.(林前11:29-30)
7. 要提防,有人错用使徒行传2:46节的话,来辩论说,若是按圣经教导,人也必须每日遵行!
2:46节是各人,回家吃餐.没有人到教会聚会,然后回家守主的晚餐!
若是有人要坚持, 请他们聚会后,回家自己守!
三. 献赞美的祭.(来13:15)--> 说明神叫人,怎样献赞美的祭!为什么还有人要辩论?嘴唇的果子!
四. 献祷告的祭.(徒2:42)--> 他们恒心遵守使徒的教训,彼此交接,祷告....
五. 恒心遵行使徒的教训.(徒2:42,20:7)
人要知道,怎样遵守,必须先知道什么教训.所以需要讲道,说明!
六. 献奉献的祭.(腓4:15-19)
1. 奉献金钱支持传福音的事工是一个增加个人银行户口存款的方法.表面看,是减少,怎说是增 加?
请听我说,我们忠心信主的人(忠心信主的人才会乐意奉献!)有上头来的智慧用神赐给我们的金钱.
例如我们赚一万,奉献一千.一万减 去一千等于九千.看起来实在是少了一千.
但是因为我们有神赐的智慧,用这九千可能比人用一万的价值更多!
许多年前我们看中一套家 具要五千,太贵不买.等了二年,有一天看见广告.只卖三千,立刻去看,原来完全一样!
特别是信用卡的用法.因为信主的缘故,我们能控制,每次付清.每年全世界就省了一千万个 千百万美元!
2. 奉献是蒙神悦纳,有香气的祭物.神应许,奉献的人,在世活着不会缺乏.
3. 我看见希伯来书7:8-10节,有十分之一奉献的教训.
七. 敬拜神的目的.(来10:24-25)-->要彼此勉厉爱心增长,多行善事.不要停止参加聚会.
八. 在世活着有好行为的生活也是献给神的祭物!
1. 徒2:47节,门徒的生活,赞美神,得众人的喜悦!主将得救的人天天加给他们.
在主的福音事 工上,好行为的祭,比金钱的祭更重要!因为金钱不能买信心!
2. 以弗所书5:1-2节明说,好行为的祭是爱主的人献给神有香气的祭!
3. 罗马书12:1节,教导信主的人,献好行为的活祭是圣诘和神喜悦,敬拜神的灵祭.
4. 彼前2:5节说,信主的人是活石,建成灵宫,藉着耶稣基督向神献蒙悦纳的祭.
5. 来11:4节说,因着信,义人,亚伯献给神的祭物比该隐所献的更美.
6. 有了信心的人要努力追求越来越多有这些德行-->
勇气,知识,节制,忍耐,神圣,爱弟兄的心, 爱众人的心.得以进入主耶稣基督永远的国.
九. 敬拜神必须依照神的旨意.
1. 利未记10:1-3节说,亚伦的儿子在神面前献祭,献上神没有吩咐的祭物,神从天降火将他们烧死!
摩西说明缘因.到神面前敬拜的时候,必须神要显为圣.(神是绝对尊严的)!
2. 马可7:7节说,他们将人的教训,当作道理教导人,敬拜神是枉然! (零七年五月一日)
Christian worship to God in the Bible! (Acts 2:41-42)
A. On which day of the week? First day of the week--> Sunday. (Ac.2:1, 20:7, 1 Cor.16:1-2)
B. Celebrate the Lord’s supper in remembrance of Christ. 1 Cor.11:23-30
1. He took bread, gave thanks, he broke it and said:
This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me. (1 Co.11:24)
2. He took the cup saying this is the new covenant in my blood,
do this in remembrance of me. (1 Co.11:25)
(Drink the cup means drink the juice in the cup.)
3. This is to proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes. (1 Co.11:26)
4. Take it in an unworthy manner
will be guilty of sinning against the body and the blood of the Lord. (1 Co.11:27)
5. A man ought to examine himself before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup.
6. Do it wrong will bring weak and sick or death! (1 Co.11:29-30)
7. Watch out for wrong argument with Ac.2:46!
Lord’s supper is during worship in the church building! Breaking bread at home is eating a meal! C. Offering sacrifice of praise to God! (Heb.13:15)
Through him then let us offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually, the fruit of lips
which make confession to his name.
Let no one use “the Bible did not forbid the use of whatever as reason for argument!”
D. Offering of prayers. (Acts 2:42)
And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' teaching and fellowship,
in the breaking of bread and the prayers.
E. Continuing steadfastly in the apostles’ teaching. (Ac.2:42, 20:7)
And upon the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread,
Paul discoursed with them, ….
F. Sacrifice of offering. (Phil.4:15-19)
1. Giving of your means to support evangelistic work is a way to increase deposit
to your personal bank account. (Phil.4:17)
2. It is a sweet smelling sacrifice acceptable and well-pleasing to God.(Phil.4:18)
3. Those practice will not be found in want! (Phil.4:19) 4. I see a 10% giving in Heb.7:8-10!
G. Purpose of worship to God. (Heb.10:24-25)
And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.
Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing,
but let us encourage one another-- and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
H. Living a life that glorify God as a sacrifice to God essential also!
1. Ac 2:47 praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people.
And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved. (Church grow!)
2. Eph 5:1-2 Be imitators of God, as dearly loved children and live a life of love,
just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
3. Romans 12:1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy,
to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God--
this is your spiritual act of worship.
4. 1 Pet2:5 you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a
holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
5. Heb 11:4 By faith Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain did.
By faith he was commended as a righteous man, when God spoke well of his offerings.
And by faith he still speaks, even though he is dead.
I. Must be done according to the will of God.
1. Mk 7:7 They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men.
2. Lev.10:1-3 Aaron's sons Nadab and Abihu took their censers, put fire in them and added incense;
and they offered unauthorized fire before the LORD, contrary to his command.
So fire came out from the presence of the LORD and consumed them, and they died before the
LORD. Moses then said to Aaron, "This is what the LORD spoke of when he said:
"`Among those who approach me I will show myself holy; in the sight of all the people I will be
honored.'" Aaron remained silent.
May the Lord bless you and keep you forever and ever! (July 5, 2007)
