《基督是我们生命的诀要》第二十二日 祂兒子的靈

    “你們旣為兒子，神就差祂兒子的靈，進入我們的心，呼叫阿爸父。”（加四：6） 

    哦！神的兒女！聖靈內住在你裏面，這靈在基督裏，是神聖潔的靈，在客西馬尼園裏主耶穌陡嬲f：“父啊！願祢的旨意成就。”祂教導我們明白天父的慈愛，並以兒女的愛和順服回報之，兒女的靈在我們裏面，正如在基督裏面一樣，祂在祷告的生活中把自己彰显出來，並賜下神的慈愛和聖潔。 

    當神兒子的靈在我裏面啟示基督的時候，我要依靠使我裏面基督的生命能長遠活著，主耶穌曾說過，祂要住在我裏面，我住在祂裏面，祂的靈在我裏面运行。因着圣灵和基督的內住，使我確實經驗基督的心思和祂的性情成形在我心中，並且彰顯出來，我要確信聖靈必完成此工作。 

    此外聖靈也配合我們的光景，幫助我們去事奉神，向我們啟示基督，使我們成聖。聖靈使我能超越世界並其引誘，成為基督的見證人，就像祂小孩一樣。祂充滿我，使我能愛弟兄，甚至愛仇敵和不相識的人，以及周圍未得救的人，為他們代祷，准备帮助他们，祂也使我愛全世界的人，熱心傳福音的事工，使人人有機會聽到福音。親愛的弟兄！每天花點時間與主同在，讓你的心對於聖靈要完成的事工充滿信心。

　

“Because ye are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, Abba, Father.” –GAL. iv. 6.

  The Spirit that dwells in you, O child of God, is none less than the same Spirit that was in Christ, the Spirit of God’s holiness. In Gethsemane He taught Christ to cry, “Abba, Father, Thy Will be done.” He teaches us to know God’s father-love, and to respond with childlike love and obedience. He will be in us even as He was in Christ, the Spirit of Sonship expressing itself in a life of prayer. I may most assuredly expect of Him that He will impart to me God’s love and holiness.

   I may also rely upon Him as the Spirit of God’s Son to reveal Christ in my heart, and always to keep alive in me Christ’ life. All that Christ has said of His abiding in me and I in Him, the Spirit of Christ will work in me. Through the Spirit Christ’s indwelling becomes an actual experience, and as a result the mind of Christ and His disposition may be formed in me, and become manifest. I may with certainty expect this of the Holy Spirit.

   And furthermore the Holy Spirit will fit me for God’s service. As the Spirit that sanctifies He will reveal Christ to me as my sanctification. The Spirit will enable me to overcome the world and its entanglements, and be a witness to what Christ’s life in His child may be. He will fill me with love to the brethren, with love to those who hate or ignore me, with love to all around me who are not yet saved, so that I shall pray for them and be ready to help them. He will give me love to all the world, so that I may labour with enthusiasm for missions that the Gospel may be brought to all men. Oh, my brother, take time each day with the Lord for your heart to be filled with the confident expectation of what God’s Spirit will do for you.
