基督心目中的教會 Church in the Eyes of Christ (2)

基督心目中所要得著的教會乃是：一個聖潔榮耀的教會 The desired church in the eyes of Christ is: holy and glorious church.

教會的成聖(聖潔)乃是透過: Church is sanctified by: 神的道(話)—真理 (四月已經分享過 ) The Word—truth (last month’s message).

教會的成聖(聖潔)乃是藉著 聖靈的運行 ： Church is sanctified by the move of the Holy Spirit 正如火車（教會）──需要軌道（真道）──火力／電力（聖靈）－》才能往前跑！ the locomotives (church) -- need rails ( the truth) -- power (Holy Spirit) to move forward 以色列人在曠野領受了神的律法，但是沒有能力活出律法，因為沒有親身經歷聖靈！ Israelites received God’s law in the wilderness. But they were unable to live out the law, because they did not personally experience the Holy Spirit!

法利賽人，文士，律法師和祭司長，雖然熱心律法，但因為沒有聖靈在他們身上，竟然把耶穌釘死。 Even thouh the Pharasees, scribes, lawyers and high priest were zealous about the law, they ended up nailing Jesus to death because they did not have Holy Spirit upon them. （林前1 Cor. 6:11；羅Rom. 15:16）教會要依靠聖靈，不斷的被聖靈的活水澆灌，把肉體裡面的邪情私慾沖洗乾淨。並跟隨聖靈的引導，作神所喜悅的事工。 Church need to depend on Holy Spirit, constantly being washed by the living water of the Spirit so that all the evil thoughts and desires in the flesh are cleaned out, as well as follwing the guidance of the Holy Spirit and doing the ministry pleasing to God.

林前1 Cor. 6:11 你們中間也有人從前是這樣；但如今你們奉主耶穌基督的名，並藉著我們神的靈，已經洗淨，成聖，稱義了。 羅Rom. 15:16 使我為外邦人作基督耶穌的僕役，作神福音的祭司，叫所獻上的外邦人，因著聖靈成為聖潔，可蒙悅納。

教會的成聖(聖潔)還要不斷的靠著耶穌的寶血 (來13:12) ──教會要不斷的省察，切實的悔改，千萬不能把耶穌的寶血當作平常，而隨便誤用。 The sanctification (Holiness) of the church also constantly depend on the blood of Jesus (Heb. 13:12) – Church need to continuously examine self and repend earnestly. Never ever treat the blood of Jesus as if it’s commonplace and abuse casually. 來Heb. 13:12 所以，耶穌要用自己的血叫百姓成聖，也就在城門外受苦。

教會的榮耀乃是因為: Church is glorified because: 她毫無玷污:與罪隔絕,不沾染世界的污穢. She is without blemish: separated from sin and not contaminated by the world. 她毫無皺紋:不老化,不被人的傳統捆綁,心意更新而變化,充滿生命活力. She is without wrinkles: does not age, not binded by the wordly tradition, transformed by the renewal of mind and full of vatality. (羅Rom. 12:2) 不要效法這個世界，只要心意更新而變化，叫你們察驗何為神的善良、純全、可喜悅的旨意。
