16-23節--神的殿

哥林多前書 第3章

當一個頑皮的小孩在家中胡亂搗蛋，被你發覺之後，你可能會帶他走到屋外，教訓他說：「你為甚麼要搗蛋呢？你忘記這是你的家嗎？你不知道父母疼愛你嗎？」

保羅在這裡正是這樣教訓哥林多信徒：「你們忘了自己的身分嗎？難道你們不明白教會的功能和聖靈的工作？難道你們已忘掉自己在教會的角色？」

神的話語一直強調我們要知行合一，換言之，我們要把信仰的真理實踐出來。

保羅在這裡提到神的殿。不錯，聖靈住在教會裡面，但與此同時，聖靈也住在每個信徒的心中。請細讀六章19節。

因著聖靈居住在我們心中，這便成為我們追求聖潔的最大理由。祂既是聖潔之靈，因此，只要我們容讓祂在我們心中工作，我們就必能過聖潔的生活。不少人嘗試以克己修身的工夫，或過禁慾避世的生活，來追求成聖，可惜都無法成功。因為人若單憑血氣之勇，不懂得倚靠聖靈的能力，根本就無法離惡成聖。

聖靈將耶穌基督所成就的一切恩典向我們顯明。只要我們每天都立志順服聖靈，祂就會在我們的心中和生命中工作，使我們愈來愈像基督。基督的行事為人，當然合乎神的聖潔標準了。

你若是信徒，就千萬不要忘記聖靈已住在你的心中。只要你讓祂在你心裡工作，你就會發現自己有能力過聖潔的生活。

禱告：

主耶穌，求你差派聖靈在我心裡工作。

THE TEMPLE OF GOD

Have you ever been away from home with a misbehaving child and you said, Whatever is the matter with you? Dont you know any better than that? Dont you know where you are?

Paul was talking just like that to the Corinthians, Dont you understand your position? Are you failing to understand the function of the church and the work of the Holy Spirit?

Have you forgotten what it is all about?

The Word of God emphasises that what we learn in doctrine or theory must be worked out in our lives by the Holy Spirit.

Paul also refers to the temple of God. It is quite true that the Holy Spirit dwells in the church, but he also lives in the heart of every believer. Look carefully at 6:19.

There is no stronger motive for personal holiness than this great truth that the Holy Spirit of God is living in our hearts. He is the Spirit of Holiness and he will make our lives holy if we will let him. We could never do it ourselves, although some people have tried. They have shut themselves off from the rest of the world and tried to make themselves holy. If they failed to recognise the Holy Spirit, however, they would never succeed as they would be acting in the power of the flesh and nothing more.

The Holy Spirit has come to make real to us all that Jesus Christ has made possible. When we yield ourselves day by day to him, he works in our hearts and lives, making us more and more like Jesus Christ. And Christ, of course, is Gods standard of holiness.

Never forget the presence of the Holy Spirit in your life as a believer. Let him do his work in you and you will find how wonderful it can prove in holy living.

A PRAYER:

Lord Jesus let your Holy Spirit work in me today.
