能够使忍耐曾加的几样事情!
一. 爱越多忍耐也越多!
1. 哥林多前书13:4节-->爱就是忍耐!
2. 罗马书2:9节-->爱人不可虚假.恶要厌恶...
3. 提摩太前书1:5-->但命令的总归就是爱,这爱是从清洁的心和无亏的良心,无伪的信心生出来的.
这节经文说:没有败坏念头的心.良心也就是人里头的魂.心里没有假装.魂被良善的事唤醒过来.
信心是纯真的!
这种爱是从人的灵,魂和肉体健康意念,一起合作生产出来的!
4. 你是不是知道世人怎样爱属于他们自己的人?
(1) 你们若爱世界,世界必爱属自己的;只是你们不属世界,乃是我从世界中拣选了你们,
所以世界就恨你们.
(2) 你们这些淫乱的人哪,岂不知与世俗为友就是与神为敌吗?
所以凡想与世俗为友的,就是与神为敌了!雅各书4:4节.
5. 现在我就真的知道,为什么荷理活那样形容他们的那种爱!
现在我真的知道,为什么他们那种爱,生产出那么多的离婚案件!
现在我就知道为什么雅各书4:4节这样形容世人--> (雅各书4:4节.)
你们这些淫乱的人哪,岂不知与世俗为友就是与神为敌吗?
所以凡想与世俗为友的,就是与神为敌了!
是的,淫乱的人喜爱与淫乱的人聚在一起!俗语说:物以类聚!
(英文是:同样羽毛的鸟聚在一起!)
淫乱人之间的爱不能生产忍耐!
(反而多时产生暴力伤害人的事!现实是这样!)
6. 我们所说的爱,是从人的灵,魂和肉体健康意念,一起合作生产出来的!
这样的爱越多,就越有忍耐!
二. 信心越多,忍耐也越多!
1. 信心是这样生产的!彼得前书1:22-25节
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的相爱.
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.
因为:凡有血气的,尽都如草,他的美荣都像草上的花.草必枯干,花必凋谢;惟有主的道是永存的
. 所传给你们的就是这道.
(1) 顺从真理,洁净自己的心,使我们有爱弟兄没有虚假!
(2) 我们得着重生是藉着神活泼常存的道.(这样的信心!)2. 这里的方程式:纯真的信主的心产生的爱心.
这样的爱心就是忍耐!(哥林多前书13:4)
三. 常保持连系!
1. 我们所说的是实质肉身上的保持连系!
有人曾劝告我,若要保持到中国有机会分享福音,就必须时不时打电话跟那边的朋友保持连络.
不要等到要去中国的时候,才打电话给他们!这是非常要紧的!2. 希伯来书10:25节.
你们不可停止聚会,好像那些停止惯了的人,倒要彼此劝勉.既知道那日子临近,就更当如此!
3. 圣洁的亲嘴问安,或是见面时的熊抱能曾加忍耐!
这就是为什么使徒保罗三番四次的劝告信主的人,见面时要亲嘴问安!
(1) 罗马书16:16-->你们亲嘴问安,彼此务要圣洁.
(2) 哥林多前书16:20-->你们亲嘴问安,彼此务要圣洁.
(3) 哥林多后书13:12-->你们亲嘴问安,彼此务要圣洁.
(4) 彼得前书5:14-->你们要用爱心彼此亲嘴问安.
(5) 使徒行传17:11-12-->这地方的人贤于帖撒逻尼嘉的人,甘心领受这道,天天考查圣经,
要晓得这道是与不是.所以他们中间多有犹太人相信主.又有希腊尊贵的妇女,希腊男子也不少.
信主的人常在一起研读圣经就有这样的功效!
愿主赐福保守各位从今直到永远!
二零一零年十二月五日讲这篇. Things that help increase patience!A. More love = more patience! 1. 1 Cor.13:4à Love is patience!2. Ro.2:9à Love must be sincere. Hate what s evil; cling to what is good.3. 1 Tim.1:5à The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart good a good conscience and a sincere faith. A heart that is free from corrupt desires. A conscience, soul, that is free from disguised. The soul awakened by what is pleasant. A faith that is genuine. The kind of love comes from human spirit, soul and healthy physical desires working together to produce! 4. Do you know how the world love its own? a. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own… Jn.15:19 b. You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with the world is hatred toward God? Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. James 4:45. Now I really know, why Hollywood describes their kind of love that way! And I really know, why their kind of love produce so much divorces! Now I know why James put it this way--> You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with the world is hatred toward God? Yes, adulterous people flock together with adulterous people! Adulterous people kind of love can’t produce patience!6. A love which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith is patience! ***B. More faith = more patience!1. The faith that is produced this way! 1 Peter 1:22-25 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. For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. For, "All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord stands forever." And this is the word that was preached to you. a. Obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for your brothers. b. Born again through the living and enduring word of God.2. This is the formula: Sincere faith produce sincere love which is patience!C. Stay in touch can increase patience too! 1. We are talking about person to person physically stay in touch! Someone reminded me, if I want to keep the God given privilege to share the gospel in China, I have to call the friends in China once a while! I cannot just at the time when I want to go to China then call!2. Heb.10:25--> 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.3. Holy kiss and bear hug are helpful for increasing patience too! a. Greet one another with a holy kiss. Ro.16:16, 1 Cor.16:20, 2 Cor.13:12. c. Greet one another with a holy kiss. 1 Pe.5:14 d. Acts 17:11-12 Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true. Many of the Jews believed, as did also a number of prominent Greek women and many Greek men. May the Lord bless you and keep you always! Preach this on December 5, 2010.
