新生命每日宣言——身體被靈充滿

●江湧流牧師

 

身體沒有靈是死的，信心沒有行為也是死的。（雅2:26）

人的身體被造就是神的居所，亞當的身體就是聖靈的殿。當亞當被造，乃是神將他自己吹進亞當的身體裏，以大能和榮耀充滿這身體，以至於亞當並不知道自己是赤身露體，並不知道自己的眼睛能判斷世界。

你可以想象，舊約裏關於至聖所的描述，神住在人手所造的至聖所裏麵，充滿神的榮耀和大能，以至於大祭司不能站立供職，神的榮光和能力甚至讓人撲倒在地。

亞當當年的身體是超乎想象的，滿有大能與榮光，他的能力超乎想象，

他口裏的話語就能治理這地，使萬物順服。他的身體全然聖潔，毫無罪性，毫無疾病。他的身體是永活的，他與死亡毫無關係。不但如此，亞當的身體也是充滿了永活的生命，我深信亞當的身體甚至不知道疲勞，因為沒有任何的咒詛，沒有任何汗流浹背的生活場景。

然而，亞當犯罪，神的靈離開了他的身體，邪靈魔鬼成了他身體的主人，死亡就臨到了亞當。罪，也就借著亞當帶給了全人類。所有亞當的後代，都活在罪的統治之下，都活在死亡的權下。因此聖經說人人都有一死，死後且有審判。

然而，救主耶穌基督來到，他成為罪身的形狀，代替人類承受死亡和罪的刑罰。借著審判，也把我們的罪身都滅絕在十字架上。借著我們都與基督一同複活，他賜給了我們全新的身體，被稱為聖靈的殿。

因為罪已經被除去，每個人的身體都被恢複到了毫無罪性的樣式，正是神起初造人的樣式，這身體就是聖靈的殿，必須被聖靈充滿，必須被聖靈掌管，必須活出神的榮耀與權能來。因為神借著他獨生兒子的救贖，把我們救贖到起初造人的樣式，就是沒有犯罪之時的亞當的樣式。

我們這些基督裏新造的人，都必須被聖靈充滿，都必須活出屬靈的恩賜，一切屬靈的恩賜，都是聖靈借著我們作神的事，都是造就人的，帶給人們益處的。

每一個被聖靈充滿的人，都有屬靈的恩賜，也就是都能活出神的樣式來。屬靈恩賜標誌著人的身體是被聖靈掌管的，人的心是順服聖靈的，神與人同工了。這就是神想要的，這就是神造人的目的，神造人乃是創造了他的兒子，他最親密的夥伴。

我們每一個進到基督裏的人，都該知道，我們的身體是聖靈的殿。每一個人的身體都該滿有聖靈，身體內外都充滿聖靈的大能與榮耀，神的榮光應該出現在我們臉上，甚至遮蓋我們全身，

我們都該活出這榮耀的命定，就是身體持續被聖靈充滿，活出有靈的、活著的身體樣式，與聖靈合一的身體樣式。奉耶穌基督的名，阿們！

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!
