与上帝亲密相交
神是信实的，你们原是被祂所召，好与祂儿子，我们的主耶稣基督一同得分（哥林多前书1:9）
亲爱的弟兄姊妹们，你知道吗？今天上帝希望你做一件事，这件事比其他任何事都重要，祂希望你与祂相交、与祂有亲密的关系。
祂希望你与祂同行、与祂亲密交谈，跟祂探讨生命的课题，祂希望你亲近祂，同享祂的本性。
而我们中很多人都专注于定期去教会、按时奉献等形式上的事，认为做这些就能使上帝悦纳，却忘了我们首要和至高的呼召，乃是要与上帝亲密相交。
这是千真万确的。上帝对我们的期望，乃是让我们活出祂的话语，与祂同行。
你是否思考过，来到上帝跟前，作出如下祷告，这对你来说有多么重大的意义：“天父，今天我不是为求所需而来。我为我的需求已经祷告过了，您的话语说，我的所需按照您荣耀的丰富、在耶稣基督里必会得到满足。因此，我现在要做的就是完完全全地服从您的旨意。如果您有任何事要吩咐我，我在这里已经准备好会绝对地听从。而且我希望您知道，无论从您的话语里看到什么吩咐，我都一定会服从，我会以满腔热爱来行出您的话语，让您的话语掌管我整个生命。”
为何今天你不这样向上帝祷告呢？上帝正等着与你亲密相交呢！
研经：
约翰一书1:1-7
1:1论到从起初原有的生命之道，就是我们所听见、所看见，亲眼看过、亲手摸过的
1:2（这生命已经显现出来，我们也看见过，现在又作见证，将原与父同在、且显现与我们那永远的生命，传给你们) 。
1:3我们将所看见、所听见的传给你们，使你们与我们相交，我们乃是与父并祂儿子耶稣基督相交的。
【圣经里的每一句话都是赐给我们的，为了帮助我们能够享有与上帝亲密的关系。上帝对我们生命所授最高的特权，就是亲密与祂同行。】
1:4我们将这些话写给你们，使你们的喜乐充足。
【表面上的基督徒，在大多数的时候都会找出一些非常愚蠢的理由：“可是，上帝希望我开心啊！”不，真理是：上帝不仅要你开心，祂还要赐给你更多、更好的，就是让你的喜乐充足，而这喜乐只由服从祂的话语得来。】
1:5神就是光，在祂毫无黑暗。这是我们从主所听见，又报给你们的信息。
1:6我们若说是与 神相交，却仍在黑暗里行，就是说谎话，不行真理了．
1:7我们若在光明中行，如同 神在光明中，就彼此相交，祂儿子耶稣的血也洗净我们一切的罪。
【约翰这位“爱的使徒”，却对“真基督徒要绝对服从上帝”持坚定的立场。他说，服从上帝是每个基督徒必要去做的，没有任何的选择；而那些习惯性不服从上帝教导的人，是根本不认识上帝。】
约翰福音14:15你们若爱我，就必遵守我的命令。14:21有了我的命令又遵守的，这人就是爱我的。爱我的必蒙我父爱他，我也要爱他，并且要向他显现。
约翰一书3:22并且我们一切所求的就从祂得着，因为我们遵守祂的命令，行祂所喜悦的事。3:23神的命令，就是叫我们信祂儿子耶稣基督的名，且照祂所赐给我们的命令彼此相爱。3:24遵守 神命令的，就住在 神里面， 神也住在他里面。我们所以知道 神住在我们里面，是因祂所赐给我们的圣灵。
约翰一书4:21爱 神的也当爱弟兄，这是我们从 神所受的命令。
加拉太1:9我们已经说了，现在又说，若有人传福音给你们与你们所领受的不同，他就应当被咒诅。
Fellowship with GOD
1 Corinthians 1:9
(NIV)
9 GOD is faithful, who has called you
into fellowship with HIS SON, JESUS CHRIST our
LORD.
Dear Brothers and
Sisters,
Do you know what GOD wants you to do
more than anything else today? HE wants you to fellowship with HIM.
HE wants you to walk with HIM and
talk with HIM. To discuss the things of life with HIM. HE wants you to draw near
to HIM and partake of HIS very nature.
So many of us get so caught up in
striving to please GOD in the things we do that we forget our first and highest
calling is just to be in fellowship with HIM.
That's right. GOD longs for us just
to want to be with HIM.
Have you ever considered how much it
would mean for you to just come to GOD and say, "Father, I didn't really come
today to get anything. I've prayed about my needs already and YOUR WORD says
they're met according to YOUR riches in glory by CHRIST JESUS. So I just came to
be with YOU. If YOU have anything YOU'd like to tell me, I'm ready to
listen...and I want YOU to know that whatever I see in YOUR WORD, I’ll obey it,
I'll do it with love. And I'll put it into effect in my life."
Why don't you tell that to GOD today?
HE's waiting to have fellowship with you.
Scripture Study:
1 John 1:1-7
(NIV)
The Incarnation of the Word of
Life
1 That which was from the beginning,
which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at
and our hands have touched—this we proclaim concerning the Word of life. 2 The
life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the
eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us. 3 We proclaim to
you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us.
And our fellowship is with the FATHER and with HIS SON, JESUS
CHRIST.
【Everything in the bible has been given to us to help us and enable
us to enjoy an intimate relationship with GOD. GOD’s top priority for your life
is to walk in close fellowship with HIM.】
4
. . . . And these things we write to you that your joy may be full.
【Superficial Christians most of the time excuse some very foolish
behaviour with the statement, “But GOD wants me to be happy!” The truth is, GOD
wants something much better for us than happiness --- HE wants us to have joy.
But joy comes only in obedience to HIS WORD.】
Light and Darkness, Sin and
Forgiveness
5 This is the message we have heard
from HIM and declare to you: GOD is light; in HIM there is no darkness at all. 6
If we claim to have fellowship with HIM and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and
do not live out the truth. 7 But if we walk in the light, as HE is in the light,
we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of JESUS, HIS SON, purifies
us from all sin.
Love Requires Us to Obey Other
Commands.
【John, “the apostle of love,” tends to be very uncompromising in his
perspective on the true Christian walk. Obedience to GOD is necessary, He says,
not optional; and those who habitually disobey GOD’s teachings do not know
GOD】
John 14:15; 21
(NIV)
15 “If you love me, keep my commands.
21 Whoever has my commands and keeps
them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father,
and I too will love them and show myself to them.”
1 John 3:22-24
(NIV)
22 and receive from HIM anything we
ask, because we keep HIS commands and do what pleases HIM. 23 And this is HIS
command: to believe in the name of HIS SON, JESUS CHRIST, and to love one
another as HE commanded us. 24 The one who keeps GOD’s commands lives in HIM,
and HE in them. And this is how we know that HE lives in us: We know it by the
SPIRIT HE gave us.
1 John 4:21
(NIV)
21 And HE has given us this command:
Anyone who loves GOD must also love their brother and
sister.
Galatians 1:9
(NIV)
9 As we have already said, so now I
say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted,
let them be under GOD’s curse!
