1-6節--認識聖靈

哥林多前書 第12章

這一章是哥林多前書的一個重要十字路口。在這之前，保羅一直是處理哥林多信徒在行為上的問題。他們的問題主要是出於屬肉體的舊人，然而，在神的眼中，這老我的舊人已經與基督同釘十字架了。

來到這一章，保羅再次教導他們認識聖靈。他的筆鋒一轉，由談論他們的失敗轉為指出，信徒藉著聖靈便可過得勝的生活。撒但想我們經常記著自己的失敗；但神卻要帶領我們得著基督所賜的豐盛。

保羅指出，信徒如今已進入了一個凡事以耶穌基督為中心的新領域。聖靈會帶領哥林多信徒承認耶穌是主。昔日，撒但是他們的主人；但今天，他們的主人是耶穌基督。聖靈會進入他們的心中，在每天的生活中引證這個活生生的事實。

與此同時，聖靈會將某些恩賜分給每個信徒，以致教會的工作得以正常的推行，而信徒服事基督的同時，聖靈的能力源源不絕地流入他們的生命中。

信徒所得的恩賜各有不同，就正如身體上的各器官各有不同一樣。但這一切的背後，都有巧妙的設計，讓信徒在教會裡面能以最好的配搭去服事基督。

哥林多的信徒擁有很多恩賜，可是，他們卻利用這些恩賜來自我炫耀，而不是有效地服事教會。

讓我們重溫這兩個觀念：第一，是我們要認識聖靈的工作，以及祂在我們生命中的工作。第二，是聖靈將不同恩賜分給我們，讓我們在教會裡服事基督。我們該怎樣回應這真理呢？

禱告：

「聖靈啊，求你在我身上成就你的旨意。使用我，讓我能夠榮耀耶穌基督，而不是榮耀自己。」

KNOWING ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT

This chapter is a major crossroad in the epistle to the Corinthians. Paul has been dealing with the various things that the Corinthians have been doing. Most, if not all of them, had come out of their own fleshly nature-the old sin nature that in Gods sight had been crucified with Christ.

In this chapter Paul again is teaching them about the Holy Spirit. He turns from their failures to the tremendous possibilities in their Christian lives through the Spirit of God. Satan wants to keep our minds on our failures. God always wants to lead us on to greater things with Christ.

Paul says this new world into which you have entered as Christians is centred in a person, Jesus Christ. The Spirit of God is leading the Corinthians to recognise Jesus as Lord. Previously, their master had been Satan, now it is Jesus Christ. The Spirit of God had entered their lives to make this a living reality day by day.

At the same time the Holy Spirit had given certain gifts to each new Christian. He did this so that the work of the church could be carried on properly-so that his power might flow through their lives in service for Christ.

These gifts differed from one another, just as the parts of the body differ from each other. But there is a wonderful design behind all of this. The Spirit of God works out just how and where we are to best serve Christ in the Church.

The Corinthians knew about these gifts, but they were using them for their own pleasure instead of for the good of the whole Church.

Let us go back over these two thoughts again. We need to know about the work of the Spirit of God and what he can do in our lives. Secondly, he has given each of us gifts by which we can serve Christ in the Church. What is our response to these things?

O Holy Spirit, do in me what you came to do. Use me for the glory of Jesus Christ and never for my own glory.
