当我读到这段经文,我的心就被深深触动。我常因看自己、想荣耀自己而跌倒,总想靠自己的努力证明自我价值。为了赢得认可,我努力表现却失败的不堪一击。When I read this passage, my heart is deeply touched. I often stumble because I focus on myself and seek my own glory, always trying to prove my worth through my own effort. Wanting to be recognised, I try hard to perform, yet my efforts fall apart so easily.此时, 神的话提醒我,属灵生命不是靠我自己努力,是从“靠自己”转向“在基督里”,因为基督本身就是神一切丰盛的具体显现,而我在祂里面已经得了丰盛。In those moments, God’s word reminds me that spiritual life doesn’t come from striving in my own strength, but from turning from “relying on myself” to “being in Christ.” Christ Himself is the visible expression of all God’s fullness, and in Him I have already been given fullness.在环境中,我显出软弱,神的话告诉我,基督是各样执政掌权者的元首,而我在祂里面,就处在最高权柄的遮盖下。When my weakness is exposed in different situations, God’s word tells me that Christ is the head over every rule and authority, and because I am in Him, I am under the covering of the highest authority.
是的,我不再惧怕任何权势,也不再被环境绑住,而是学会凭基督的丰盛活出我的属天身份。Yes, I no longer need to fear any power, nor be held down by my circumstances. Instead, I am learning to live out my heavenly identity through the fullness of Christ.保罗提醒我:真正的安全感,不是来自环境是否平稳,而是来自我是否藏在基督里;真正的身份,不是别人怎么看,而是神如何称呼我;Paul reminds me that true security doesn’t come from stable surroundings, but from being hidden in Christ; true identity isn’t determined by how others see me, but by how God calls me;真正的成长不是靠自己肉体何等努力,而是凭着信心,靠着圣灵,与基督不断连接,让祂的生命在我里面自然生长、成熟、结果。true growth doesn’t come from how hard my flesh tries, but from living by faith, relying on the Holy Spirit, and staying connected with Christ so His life naturally grows, matures, and bears fruit in me.祂的完全成为我的完全,祂的身份成为我的身份,祂的丰盛成为我生命稳固的根基。His perfection becomes my perfection, His identity becomes my identity, and His fullness becomes the firm foundation of my life.
主啊,我感谢你,借着失败让我看清,在我自己里面,我怎么努力,都是失败。也让我真认识,在基督里,我真正的身份是谁?Lord, thank You that through failure You have shown me that in myself—no matter how hard I try—I still fail. And You have helped me truly understand who I am in Christ.在基督里,我是新造的人,我若顺服圣灵,我就是神的儿子。在基督里,我已经拥有一切属灵生命所需的资源;在基督里,我不需要再证明自己;In Christ, I am a new creation; when I obey the Holy Spirit, I am a son of God. In Christ, I already have every resource needed for spiritual life; in Christ, I no longer need to prove myself;在基督里,我不需要活在人面前,让人称赞我;在基督里,我不需要再怕环境;只要我在基督里,我的生命就能够向下扎根,向上结果。in Christ, I no longer need to live for people’s approval or long for their praise; in Christ, I no longer need to fear circumstances. As long as I stay in Christ, my life can grow deep roots and bear fruit above.
主啊,求你帮助我每天都活在这真理中,被圣灵带领,是什么地步,领受多少,就行出多少。不再被自卑、表现不好就焦虑、或恐惧牵动,Lord, please help me live in this truth each day, led by the Holy Spirit—living out what I have received, according to the measure I’ve been given. Keep me from being driven by insecurity, anxiety over poor performance, or fear.而是让基督的荣耀、智慧、平安、喜乐、力量、身份…一切的丰盛,因我的信充满我,不光是头脑知道这真理,知道我的地位和身份,Instead, let Christ’s fullness—His glory, wisdom, peace, joy, strength, and identity—fill me through faith. Let this not only be truth I know in my mind, or an understanding of my position,更让我在环境一举一动里,活出这真理,让基督的丰盛真正成为我丰盛、我的实际。but let it be shown in every decision and action of daily life—so that Christ’s fullness truly becomes my fullness, my lived reality.
