深入认识主耶稣与你所立之新约 我当日传给你们的，原是从主领受的，就是主耶稣被卖的那一夜，拿起饼来、祝谢了、就擘开，说：“这是我的身体，为你们舍的，你们应当如此行，为的是记念我。”饭后也照样拿起杯来，说：“这杯是用我的血所立的新约，你们每逢喝的时候要如此行，为的是记念我（哥林多前书11:23-25） 亲爱的弟兄姊妹们，我们中很多人都熟悉“新约”一词，但是我们懂得它的真正意义吗？ 如果我们真的懂得，那么我们就不会挣扎着让自己“努力”相信上帝的承诺，我们会成为信心的巨人，就像亚伯拉罕一样，“满心相信 神所应许的必能作成”【罗马书4:18-21 他（亚伯拉罕）在无可指望的时候，因信仍有指望，就得以作多国的父，正如先前所说：“你的后裔将要如此。”他将近百岁的时候，虽然想到自己的身体如同已死，撒拉的生育已经断绝，他的信心还是不软弱；并且仰望 神的应许，总没有因不信心里起疑惑；反倒因信，心里得坚固，将荣耀归给 神，且满心相信 神所应许的必能作成】。 从上帝以切开的动物与亚伯拉罕立约显示出，亚伯拉罕对上帝有莫大的信心。因为用动物的血立约是低等的约，可就是这样的约，却使原本心存怀疑的亚伯拉罕转变为信者之父。为什么会这样呢？因为亚伯拉罕深深地懂得，上帝亲自与他立约的意义重大。 他知道立下血约就意味着：你是永远地将自己完完全全地给了立约的另一方。一旦你们立下此约，那么你就再没有私有的了，包括你自己、你曾有的和现有的一切，都将是你与盟友的共同所有。 亚伯拉罕时代的立约之礼是：立约双方互换外衣，代表他们将各自的权力交给对方；他们以互换武器作为誓言：“现今起，你的敌人就是我的敌人，我为你争战就如为自己争战一样”，然后他们用所杀动物的血立约，发誓誓死忠于对方。 所以当上帝亲自与亚伯拉罕立约时，亚伯拉罕就知道，对上帝的承诺不容再有任何怀疑的余地。上帝已经证明，祂是如此诚切地希望作亚伯拉罕的 神。上帝将所有的都给了亚伯拉罕，并且坚立与亚伯拉罕的关系永不动摇。而亚伯拉罕懂得这个约的重要意义，他确定上帝的应许是永远信实的。上帝与他的盟约，成为他的灵魂之锚。 你想像始祖亚伯拉罕一样，成为信心的巨人吗？你若想的话，那么就深入认识你与上帝所立的新约吧！研读上帝的话语，让圣灵指示你，当主耶稣作为赎罪祭来坚立你与上帝的约时，到底发生了什么？让祂指示你，当祂把祂的名（约翰福音16:23到那日，你们甚么也就不问我了。我实实在在的告诉你们，你们若向父求甚么，祂必因我的名赐给你们）、祂的权柄（马太福音28:18-20 耶稣进前来对他们说：“天上地下所有的权柄都赐给我了。所以你们要去，使万民作我的门徒，奉父子圣灵的名给他们施洗。凡我所吩咐你们的都教训他们遵守，我就常与你们同在，直到世界的末了）、祂的盔甲和武器（以弗所6:13-17所以要拿起 神所赐的全副军装，好在磨难的日子抵挡仇敌，并且成就了一切还能站立得住。所以要站稳了，用真理当作带子束腰，用公义当作护心镜遮胸；又用平安的福音当作预备走路的鞋穿在脚上；此外又拿着信德当作藤牌，可以灭尽那恶者一切的火箭，并戴上救恩的头盔，拿着圣灵的宝剑，就是 神的道）赐给你时，到底意味着什么？ 一旦你懂得主耶稣所说“这是用我的血所立的新约”的真正含义，那么你的生命就会从此改变，你不再是一个普通的基督徒。 研经：希伯来书10:1-23 10:1 律法既是将来美事的影儿，不是本物的真像，总不能借着每年常献一样的祭物，叫那近前来的人得以完全。 10:2 若不然，献祭的事岂不早已止住了么。因为礼拜的人良心既被洁净，就不再觉得有罪了。 10:3 但这些祭物是叫人每年想起罪来， 10:4 因为公牛和山羊的血断不能除罪。 10:5 所以基督到世上来的时候就说：“ 神啊，祭物和礼物是你不愿意的，你曾给我预备了身体。 10:6 燔祭和赎罪祭是你不喜欢的。 10:7 那时我说‘ 神啊，我来了为要照你的旨意行，我的事在经卷上已经记载了。’” 10:8 以上说“祭物和礼物、燔祭和赎罪祭是你不愿意的，也是你不喜欢的”， 10:9 后又说“我来了为要照你的旨意行”，可见祂是除去在先的，为要立定在后的。 10:10 我们凭这旨意，靠耶稣基督只一次献上祂的身体就得以成圣。 10:11 凡祭司天天站着事奉 神，屡次献上一样的祭物，这祭物永不能除罪。 10:12 但基督献了一次永远的赎罪祭，就在 神的右边坐下了， 10:13 从此等候祂仇敌成了祂的脚凳。 10:14 因为祂一次献祭，便叫那得以成圣的人永远完全。 10:15 圣灵也对我们作见证，因为祂既已说过： 10:16 “主说，那些日子以后，我与他们所立的约乃是这样：我要将我的律法写在他们心上，又要放在他们的里面。” 10:17 以后就说“我不再记念他们的罪愆和他们的过犯”。 10:18 这些罪过既已赦免，就不用再为罪献祭了。 10:19 弟兄们，我们既因耶稣的血得以坦然进入至圣所， 10:20 是借着祂给我们开了一条又新又活的路从幔子经过，这幔子就是祂的身体； 10:21 又有一位大祭司治理 神的家； 10:22 并我们心中天良的亏欠已经洒去，身体用清水洗净了，就当存着诚心和充足的信心来到 神面前， 10:23 也要坚守我们所承认的指望，不至摇动，因为那应许我们的是信实的。 Look deep into the New Covenant you have with JESUS. (1 Corinthians 11:23-25) The LORD JESUS, on the night HE was betrayed, took bread, 24 and when HE had given thanks, HE broke it and said, “This is MY BODY, which is for you; do this in remembrance of ME.” 25 In the same way, after supper HE took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in MY BLOOD; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of ME.” Dear Brothers and Sisters, New Covenant. It's a familiar phrase to most of us. But do we really know what it means? If we did, every one of us would be faith giants. Instead of struggling, "trying" to believe the promises of GOD, we'd be like Abraham. "Strong in faith...fully persuaded that, what GOD has promised, HE is able to perform!" (Rom. 4: 18 Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, “So shall your offspring be.” 19 Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead—since he was about a hundred years old—and that Sarah’s womb was also dead. 20 Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to GOD, 21 being fully persuaded that GOD had power to do what HE had promised.). That's the kind of confidence that welled up in Abraham when GOD cut the covenant with him. It was an inferior covenant to ours, made with the blood of animals. Yet it transformed a doubting Abraham into the very father of faith. Why? Because, Abraham understood the significance of the covenant GOD had entered with him. He knew that entering into the Covenant of Blood meant you were totally and forever giving yourself away to someone else. Once you did it, nothing would ever be exclusively yours again. All that you were, all that you had or ever would have became the equal property of your covenant partner. During the covenant ceremony in Abraham's day, the partners exchanged coats, each one giving their authority to the other. They exchanged weapons as a way of saying, "Your enemies are now my enemies. I'll fight your fights as if they were my own." They walked through the blood of slain animals, pronouncing their loyalty to one another, even to the death. When GOD made covenant with him, Abraham knew there was no longer any room for doubt. GOD had proven how intensely HE desired to be GOD to him. HE did given him everything HE had and bound HIMSELF to Abraham in a relationship that could not be dissolved. Abraham comprehended the gravity of a covenant agreement. It convinced him once and for all that GOD's promises could be trusted. It became an anchor to his soul. Do you want to be a faith giant like Father Abraham? Then look deep into the covenant you have with GOD. Study it in the WORD. Let the HOLY SPIRIT show you what really happened when JESUS became the sacrifice that ratified your covenant with GOD. Let HIM show you what it meant when HE gave you HIS Name (John 16:23 In that day you will no longer ask me anything. Very truly I tell you, my Father will give you whatever you ask in MY NAME.), HIS authority (Matt. 28: 18Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them [all the Christians] to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”), HIS armour and weapons (Eph. 6: 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.). Once you realize what JESUS actually meant when HE said, "This is the NEW COVENANT established in MY BLOOD," your life will never be the same again. Scripture Study: Hebrews 10: Christ’s Sacrifice Once for All 1 The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming—not the realities themselves. For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship. 2 Otherwise, would they not have stopped being offered? For the worshipers would have been cleansed once for all, and would no longer have felt guilty for their sins. 3 But those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins. 4 It is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. 5 Therefore, when Christ came into the world, he said: “Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you prepared for me; 6 with burnt offerings and sin offerings you were not pleased. 7 Then I said, ‘Here I am—it is written about me in the scroll— I have come to do your will, my God.’” 8 First he said, “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not desire, nor were you pleased with them”—though they were offered in accordance with the law. 9 Then he said, “Here I am, I have come to do your will.” He sets aside the first to establish the second. 10 And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 11 Day after day every priest stands and performs his religious duties; again and again he offers the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 12 But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God, 13 and since that time he waits for his enemies to be made his footstool. 14 For by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy. 15 The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First he says: 16 “This is the covenant I will make with them after that time, says the Lord. I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds.” 17 Then he adds: “Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more.” 18 And where these have been forgiven, sacrifice for sin is no longer necessary. A Call to Persevere in Faith 19 Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, 21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.
