寻找那平静安稳的生活!
一. 世界开始的时候样样都是很好的! (创1:31-2:2)
世界开始的时候,神看他自己所造的,样样都是非常好的!第七日神就安息了!
我们各人心里的深处都想望那种样样都是非常好的生活!
我们迁移到各地,改换工作,就是为了寻找平静安稳的生活!
只要想一下,为什么我们迁移到这里生活就明白了!
这是我们的天性!我们要寻找那美好,无忧无虑的生活,直到得到了或是死了还在寻找!
二. 主耶稣差门徒去传道的时候对他们说: (太10:11)
无论你们进那一市镇或是乡村,要寻找那里谁是好人!寻到了,就住在他家里,直到离开!
根据我的研究,"好人"的意思是,能够提供他们的衣着,住房,食物和在当地生活的时候所需用的钱!
人到了一个地方寻找到这样的人,就真是无忧无虑!(你找到了吗!?)
主耶稣说,找到这样的地方,就住在那里,直到离开!
三. 当我们在寻找的时候要这样的生活! (太6:31-34)
1. 不要忧虑吃什么?喝什么?穿什么衣服? 太6:31
2. 这些东西都是不信主耶稣的人所追求的!
你们的天父知道,你们活在地上的时候,需要这些东西!太6:32
3. 你们要先求神的国和神的义,这一切的东西,就都要赐给你们了!太6:33
4. 不要担心明天的事,明天自有明天的事要担忧!太6:34
一天的难处一天担当就是了!
四. 是的,这样的生活需要对主和主的教会有信心!
1. 需要,对你自己没有亲眼看见的主耶稣有信心,相信他是你的主!
日常生活,欢喜快乐的遵行主耶稣在圣经中所说的话! (彼前1:8)
2. 需要有信心,相信你信主耶稣的结局,你会得到魂的救恩!(彼前1:9)
3. 在日常实际生活里,要实习提摩太那样的生活在世上!(腓2:19-21)
希望很快,我能在主耶稣里差派提摩太到你们那里…
因为我没有其他人像他一样顾念你们,就是教会主的事工,像他一样!
其他人都是为自己的事.不顾主基督的事!
五. 我们活在世上只能追求更好的生活! (彼前3:10-12)
人若爱生命愿享美福:
1. 他必须保守他的舌头不出恶言,嘴唇不说谎言!
2. 他必须转离恶事和作好的事!
3. 他必须追求平静安稳和不断的追求!
4. 他必须相信主的眼看顾行义的人.主的耳朵留意听他们的祷告.
5. 他必须相信神是公义的,他必回报那些向你们作恶的人!(帖后1:6)
(人不需自己追究,别人向他作的恶事!这是多大的福气!)
六. 结论: 约一1:9
经文说,我们若认自己的罪,神是信实,公义的,他必赦免我们的罪,洗净我们一切的不义!
这样的人才能进入神的国.所以在神的国里一切都是很好的!
我们必须相信,神是信实,公义的,神必定能够,灰复起初人类那样的生活!
到那时,我们又会说,看哪,神创造的,一切都是非常好的!
这样,我们就会安定下来!不再追求了!
愿神赐福保守各位直到永远! 零八年一月二十五日.
Searching for that peaceful and tranquil life!
A. At the beginning everything was very good! (Gen.1:31-2:2)
God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good.
God rested on the 7th day from all his work. Gen.2:2
Deep down in our heart we remember this kind of life!
We moved around and changed jobs in search of this kind of life!
Think about why you come here and do whatever you are doing!
This is our nature for life!
We search for this life until we got is or die searching for it!
B. Jesus said to his disciples when he sent them out! (Matt.10:11)
Whatever town or village you enter, search for some worthy person there and
stay at his house until you leave.
According to my study worthy person means someone who can provide you with room
and board and money to spend while living there!
And Jesus said, stay at his house until you leave!
C. This is how we must live while searching for that life!Matt.6:31-34
1. Be not anxious, saying, what shall we eat? What shall we drink?
How shall we be clothed? Matt.6:31
2. For after all these things do the Gentiles seek.
Your heavenly Father know that you need all these things. 6:32
3. Seek ye first his kingdom and his righteousness.
And all these things shall be added unto you. Matt.6:33
4. Be not anxious for tomorrow.
For tomorrow will be anxious for itself.
Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
D. Yes, this takes faith in the Lord and in his church! (1 Peter 1:8-9)
1. It takes to believe Jesus, the one whom we do not see, is Lord!
And rejoice in doing what he says in the Bible! 1 Peter 1:8
2. It takes faith to believe at the end we will receive salvation of our souls. 1 Peter 1:9
3. Practice in real life as did Timothy! Phil.2:19-21
I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy shortly unto you…
for I have no man like minded, who will care truly for your state.
For they all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ.
E. A better life on earth is all we may have! (1 Peter 3:10-12)
Whoever would love life and see good days:
1. He must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from lies!
2. He must turn from evil and do good.
3. He must seek peace and pursue it.
4. He must believe the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer.
5. He must believe God is just: He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you! (2 Thes.1:6)
F. Conclusion: 1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and
purify us from all unrighteousness.
God is faithful and just.
We can trust him to restore everything to the original state as stated in Gen.1:31 -->
God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good.
Then we settle and search no more!
May the Lord bless you and keep you forever and ever. Jan., 25, 2008.
