新生命每日宣言——身体被灵充满

●江涌流牧师

 

身体没有灵是死的，信心没有行为也是死的。（雅2:26）

人的身体被造就是神的居所，亚当的身体就是圣灵的殿。当亚当被造，乃是神将他自己吹进亚当的身体里，以大能和荣耀充满这身体，以至于亚当并不知道自己是赤身露体，并不知道自己的眼睛能判断世界。

你可以想象，旧约里关于至圣所的描述，神住在人手所造的至圣所里面，充满神的荣耀和大能，以至于大祭司不能站立供职，神的荣光和能力甚至让人扑倒在地。

亚当当年的身体是超乎想象的，满有大能与荣光，他的能力超乎想象，

他口里的话语就能治理这地，使万物顺服。他的身体全然圣洁，毫无罪性，毫无疾病。他的身体是永活的，他与死亡毫无关系。不但如此，亚当的身体也是充满了永活的生命，我深信亚当的身体甚至不知道疲劳，因为没有任何的咒诅，没有任何汗流浃背的生活场景。

然而，亚当犯罪，神的灵离开了他的身体，邪灵魔鬼成了他身体的主人，死亡就临到了亚当。罪，也就借着亚当带给了全人类。所有亚当的后代，都活在罪的统治之下，都活在死亡的权下。因此圣经说人人都有一死，死后且有审判。

然而，救主耶稣基督来到，他成为罪身的形状，代替人类承受死亡和罪的刑罚。借着审判，也把我们的罪身都灭绝在十字架上。借着我们都与基督一同复活，他赐给了我们全新的身体，被称为圣灵的殿。

因为罪已经被除去，每个人的身体都被恢复到了毫无罪性的样式，正是神起初造人的样式，这身体就是圣灵的殿，必须被圣灵充满，必须被圣灵掌管，必须活出神的荣耀与权能来。因为神借着他独生儿子的救赎，把我们救赎到起初造人的样式，就是没有犯罪之时的亚当的样式。

我们这些基督里新造的人，都必须被圣灵充满，都必须活出属灵的恩赐，一切属灵的恩赐，都是圣灵借着我们作神的事，都是造就人的，带给人们益处的。

每一个被圣灵充满的人，都有属灵的恩赐，也就是都能活出神的样式来。属灵恩赐标志着人的身体是被圣灵掌管的，人的心是顺服圣灵的，神与人同工了。这就是神想要的，这就是神造人的目的，神造人乃是创造了他的儿子，他最亲密的伙伴。

我们每一个进到基督里的人，都该知道，我们的身体是圣灵的殿。每一个人的身体都该满有圣灵，身体内外都充满圣灵的大能与荣耀，神的荣光应该出现在我们脸上，甚至遮盖我们全身，

我们都该活出这荣耀的命定，就是身体持续被圣灵充满，活出有灵的、活着的身体样式，与圣灵合一的身体样式。奉耶稣基督的名，阿们！

Daily Declaration of New Life – A Body Filled with the Spirit
● Pastor Jiang Yongliu

The body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead also. (James 2:26)
Man's body was created to be the dwelling place of God; Adam’s body was the temple of the Holy Spirit. When Adam was created, God breathed Himself into Adam’s body, filling it with power and glory. As a result, Adam did not realize he was naked, nor did he know his eyes could judge the world.

Imagine the description of the Most Holy Place in the Old Testament—God dwelled in the sanctuary made by human hands, and it was filled with His glory and power, so much so that the high priest could not stand to minister. The glory and power of God would cause people to fall prostrate.

Adam’s body back then was beyond imagination—full of power and glory. His abilities were extraordinary. His words had authority to govern the earth and bring all creation into obedience. His body was completely holy, without sin or sickness. It was a living body, untouched by death. More than that, I firmly believe Adam’s body did not even know fatigue, because there was no curse, no sweating or toiling lifestyle.

However, when Adam sinned, the Spirit of God departed from his body, and evil spirits and the devil became the master of his body. Death entered into Adam. Sin, through Adam, was passed on to all humanity. All of Adam’s descendants live under the dominion of sin and the authority of death. Therefore, the Bible says, “It is appointed unto men once to die, and after that comes judgment.”

Yet, our Savior Jesus Christ came. He took on the likeness of sinful flesh and bore the punishment for sin and death on behalf of humanity. Through His judgment, He destroyed our sinful bodies on the cross. Through Him, we were raised together with Christ. He gave us a new body, now called the temple of the Holy Spirit.

Because sin has been removed, each person’s body has been restored to a sinless state—the original design of God when He created man. This body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. It must be filled with the Holy Spirit, governed by the Holy Spirit, and must manifest the glory and power of God. Through the redemption of His only begotten Son, God has restored us to the original image of man—Adam before he sinned.

We who are new creations in Christ must be filled with the Holy Spirit and live out spiritual gifts. Every spiritual gift is a manifestation of the Holy Spirit doing God’s work through us. These gifts are for building others up and bringing benefit to people.

Everyone who is filled with the Holy Spirit has spiritual gifts and can live out the image of God. Spiritual gifts are signs that a person’s body is under the rule of the Holy Spirit, and that their heart is in submission to Him. God is then working together with man. This is God’s intention. This is the purpose for which He created man: to make His sons, His closest companions.

All of us who have come into Christ must know that our bodies are the temples of the Holy Spirit. Each person’s body should be filled with the Holy Spirit—inside and out—full of the Spirit’s power and glory. The glory of God should be seen upon our faces and even cover our whole bodies.

We are called to live out this glorious destiny: to have our bodies continually filled with the Holy Spirit, to live in the form of a living body animated by the Spirit, a body in oneness with the Holy Spirit. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
