美国制造的或是天上制造的?
一. 来到关于对主的信心.你寻求何处制造的?
在我们常买物的商店,多数物品都是中国制造.很少美国制造!
我们知道,世人制造的东西都会变老或变坏!
关于对主耶稣的信心也有这样的分别!
人自己制造的信心,会使他们向神的敬拜,变成无效!马可福音7:7节.
二. 你的信心是否建立在圣经中神的话上!
1. 使徒保罗这样说: 我说的话,讲的道,不是用人智慧委婉的言语,
乃是用圣灵和大能的明证.叫你们的信不在乎人的智慧,
只在乎神的大能.哥林多前书2:4-5节
2. 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.哥林多前书2:6节
3. 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.哥林多前书2:7节
4. 我们所领受的,并不是世上的灵,
乃是从神来的灵.叫我们能知道神开恩赐给我们的事.哥林多前书2:12节
5. 并且我们讲说这些事,不是用人智慧所指教的言语.
乃是用圣灵所指教的言语,将属灵的话解释属灵的事.林多前书2:13节
6. 谁曾知道主的思想去教导他昵?但我们是有主的思想了!林多前书2:16节
三. 施洗的约翰有这样的智慧! 约翰福音3:26-31节.
1. 犹太人来见约翰说:拉比,从前同你在约但河外你所见证的那位,
现在施洗,众人都往他那里去了.约翰福音3:26节.
2. 约翰说:若不是从天上赐的,人就不能得什么.我曾说,我不是基督,
是奉差遣在他前面的.你们自己可以给我作见证.约翰福音3:27-28节.
3. 娶新妇的是新郎,新郎的朋友站着听见新郎的声音就甚喜乐.
故此我这喜乐满足了.约翰福音3:29节.
4. 他必兴旺,我必衰微.从天上来的是万有之上,从地上来的是属乎地.
从天上来的是万有之上.约翰福音3:30-31节.
四. 请听使徒彼得的劝告!彼得前书1:22-25节.
1. 你们既因顺从真理,洁净了自己的心,
以致爱弟兄没有虚假,就当从心里彼此切实相爱.彼得前书1:22节.
2. 你们蒙了重生,不是由于能坏的种子,
乃是由于不能坏的种子.是藉着神活泼常存的道.彼得前书1:23节.
3. 因为,凡有血气的,尽都如草,它的美荣都像草上的花.
草必枯干,花必凋谢.彼得前书1:24节.
4. 惟有主的道是永存的.所传给你们的福音就是这道.彼得前书1:25节.
五. 主耶稣宣告:天地要废去,我的话却不能废去.马太福音24:35节.
信心若是用主的道制造的,这信心就会永存不变!
愿主赐福保守你从今直到永远!

Made in U.S.A. or made in heaven?
A. When comes to faith in the Lord.
What do you look for?
In places where we shop, most merchandise are made in China.
Very few items are made in the U.S.A.
We know things made on earth by people can grow old
and gone bad!
It is about the same in spiritual things! Man made teachings make man’s worship to God become in vain! Mk.7:7
B. Is your faith rest on God’s word in the Bible?
1. Paul said: My message and my preaching were not with wise persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit power, so that your faith might not rest on men’s wisdom, but on God’s power.1 Cor.2:4-5
2. We do speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing!
3. We speak God’s secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. 1 Cor.2:7
4. We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us. 2:12
5. This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words. 1 Cor.2:13
6. For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
1 Cor.2:16
C. John the Baptist had this wisdom! John 3:26-31
1. Rabbi, that man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan-- the one you testified about— well, he is baptizing, and everyone is going to him. Jn.3:26
2. John replied: A man can receive only what is given him from heaven. You can testify that I said: I am not the Christ but am sent ahead of him. 3:27,28
3. The bride belongs to the bridegroom. The friend who attends the bridegroom waits and listens for him, and is full of joy when he hears the bridegroom's voice. That joy is mine, and it is now complete. Jn.3:29
4. He must become greater; I must become less. "The one who comes from above is above all; the one who is from the earth belongs to the earth, and speaks as one from the earth. The one who comes from heaven is above all. 3:30-31
D. Please listen to Apostle Peter’s advise! 1 Peter 1:22-25
1. Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for your brothers, love one another deeply, from the heart. 1:22
2. For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. 1 Pe.1:23
3. For, "All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall. 1:24 But the word of the Lord stands forever." And this is the word that was preached to you. 1 Peter 1:25
E. Jesus declared: Matt.24:35
Heaven and earth shall pass away,
but my words shall not pass away.
May the Lord bless you and keep you always!
