【加4:6-7】你们既为儿子，神就差他儿子的灵进入你们（原文作“我们”）的心，呼叫：“阿爸，父！”可见，从此以后，你不是奴仆，乃是儿子了。既是儿子，就靠着神为后嗣。【Gal 4:6-7】Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “ Abba, Father.” So you are no longer a slave, but God's son; and since you are his son, God has made you also an heir.

人很容易迷失，丢失自己的身份，保罗一再的告诉我们属天的身份，It is easy for people to get lost and lose their identity. Paul repeatedly tells us about our heavenly identity. 我们是属于神的，神儿子的灵已经进入我们的心，我们在任何时候都可以呼叫：“阿爸父！”We belong to God. The Spirit of God's Son has entered our hearts. We can call out at any time: "Abba, Father!" 我们是谁？我们本是奴仆，是在撒旦的捆绑之下，受律法的辖制没有自由的人，如今藉着基督的救赎，圣灵的重生和更新，被神收养为儿子，这是神赐给我们最美好的礼物。 Who are we? We were originally slaves, bound by Satan, and bound by the law without freedom. Now, through the redemption of Christ, the rebirth and renewal of the Holy Spirit, we are adopted as sons by God. This is the best gift God has given us.

何等恩典，你竟然在乎我；何等恩典，你宝血为我流；何等恩典，你以尊贵荣耀为我冠冕。What grace you have for caring about me; what grace you have shed for me; what grace you have crowned me with honor and glory. 我的心被恩感，从此以后我不再是孤儿，有天父为我的倚靠，有祂在我生命中陪伴我，我时时可以回到天父的怀抱，向祂呼叫阿爸父。My heart is touched by grace. From now on, I am no longer an orphan. I have the Heavenly Father to rely on and He accompanies me in my life. I can always return to the Heavenly Father's arms and call out to Him, "Abba, Father." 因爱父，我们每天可以追求圣洁，活在祂的同在里。从此以后，我不是奴仆，乃是儿子了。既是儿子，就靠着神为后嗣。Because of our love for the Father, we can pursue holiness every day and live in His presence. From now on, I am no longer a slave, but a son. Since I am a son, I am an heir through God.

何等不配，白白得了这份宝贵的恩典，能靠着神为后嗣，承受儿子一切的产业。How unworthy we are to have received this precious grace for nothing, to be able to rely on God as an heir and inherit all the inheritance of the son. 亲爱的父，我们如何报答这一切的厚恩呢？惟有将生命献上当作活祭，因在你眼中，看圣民之死极为宝贵。Dear Father, how can we repay all these great graces? Only by offering our lives as living sacrifices, because in your eyes, the death of the saints is extremely precious. 我们每天活着的目标就是竭力成为你的真儿子，以你的心为心，凡事否定自己，丧己、落下来、倾倒一切，谦卑顺服到底，只愿你的旨意成就。Our goal in living every day is to strive to become your true sons, to have your heart, to deny ourselves in everything, to lose ourselves, to fall down, to pour out everything, to be humble and obedient to the end, and only wish that your will will be accomplished.

阿爸父，阿爸父…当我们每次称呼你阿爸父的时候，就是确定我们属天身份的时刻，我们已经从作奴仆的卑贱地位，被提升到神儿子高贵的地位。我们不再是奴仆，而是神的儿子了。Abba Father, Abba Father... Every time we call you Abba Father, it is the moment to confirm our heavenly identity. We have been promoted from the humble status of being a slave to the noble status of God's son. We are no longer slaves, but sons of God. 为此，我要欢呼赞美这份极大的荣耀能临到我们，我们既有神儿子的名分，受了神儿子的灵，得着神的后嗣。For this reason, I want to cheer and praise this great glory that can come to us. We have the title of God's sons, have received the spirit of God's sons, and have obtained God's heirs. 在活着的日子，我们要竭力追求认识神，为荣耀神而活，以敬畏祂为乐，因为凡被神的灵引导的，都是神的儿子。In the days of our lives, we must strive to pursue the knowledge of God, live for the glory of God, and take pleasure in fearing Him, because all those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. 郭牧师（Pastor Guo）
