属 神的子民
……惟有你们是被拣选的族类、是有君尊的祭司、是圣洁的国度、是属 神的子民(彼得一书2:9)
亲爱的弟兄姊妹们,这里彼得用一连串的美妙词藻,深刻描述出我们作为基督里的信徒当受的尊贵位格。上帝称我们为“拣选的”、“君尊的”、“圣洁的”和“属 神的”,那么我们就应当开始按照上帝赋予我们的这一真正本质来生活。
HIS own special people
1Peter 2:9
But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, HIS own special people
Dear Brothers n Sisters,
Peter uses a flurry of wonderful descriptions to portray the exalted position we enjoy as believers “in CHRIST.” GOD calls us “chosen” and “royal” and “holy” and ”special” so that we might begin to behave like who we really are.
