從得著救恩到圓滿人生—-以弗所書2:8-10[你們得救是本乎恩, 也因著信. 這並不是出於自己, 乃是神所賜的, 也不是出於行為, 免得有人自誇. 我們原是他的工作, 在基督耶穌裏造成的, 為要叫我們行善, 就是神所預備叫我們行的.] 經文中的”工作”, 可以翻譯為”傑作.” 脫離死亡是因為我們得著救恩, 行善使我們人生圓滿. 哥林多前書15:55”死啊！你得勝的權勢在哪裡？ 死啊！你的毒鉤在哪裡？”. 對於基督徒而言, 死亡是改變. 朽壞的變成不朽壞的. 受限的變成不受限的. 死亡是完全的醫治. 死亡是換衣服, 靈魂脫掉舊衣服, 上帝為我們換上好的不得了的新衣服. 就像在鏡中看自己, 似曾相識又不相同. 死亡是回到天上永恆的家. 從地上不完美的家, 回到天上完美的家. 在地上告別, 在天上重逢. 會有眾多的親朋友在天堂的門口歡迎你. 好好信耶穌, 將來我們在天上還是一家人. 如果我們瞭解死亡的真諦, 我們就不再被定罪, 因為耶穌的救黷, 可以坦然面對過去的我. 可以大聲的説, 我已經死了. 我已經被赦免了. 沒有人可以用我的過去來指責我, 羞恥已經過去了. 我們不再被轄制, 不再作罪惡的奴僕. 我們可以被改變. 上帝使我們脫離苦難. 上帝在我們四週安營保護, 上帝看我們如眼中的瞳仁. 神是我們的避難所, 是我患难中隨時的幫助. 上帝的救恩使我們脫離奴僕, 成為神的兒女. 上帝是我們的生命匠人, 衪的雙手將我們活出精彩圓滿的人生. 我們不是一群得救之後, 坐著等候上天堂的人, 而是一群向這個世界, 見證上帝豐富恩典的人. 在信心上, 在品德上, 在職塲上, 在服事上, 在愛心上, 在善良上, 在認真上活出信愛望的圓滿人生.
From salvation to fullness of life – Ephesians 2:8-10 In works, lest any man boast. We are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.] The “work” in the text can be translated as “a masterpiece.” “The deliverance from death is that we have been saved, and that good works complete our lives. 1 Corinthians 15:55 “Death! Where is your power overcoming? Death! Where is your sting?”. For Christ For disciples, death is change. The corrupt becomes immortal. The limited becomes the unlimited.

From your imperfect home on earth, to your perfect home in heaven. Saying goodbye on earth and reuniting in heaven. There will be Many relatives and friends welcome you at the gate of heaven. Believe in Jesus well, we will still be a family in heaven in the future. If we understand the true meaning of death, we will no longer be condemned, because of the salvation of Jesus, we can face the past me calmly can say aloud, I am dead. I have been forgiven. No one can accuse me of my past, the shame is past. We are no longer bound, no longer slaves to sin. We can be Change. God frees us from suffering. God encamps and protects us all around, God sees us as the pupil of his eye. God is our refuge and help in times of trouble. God’s salvation frees us from slavery and becomes God Sons and daughters. God is the craftsman of our lives, and His hands help us to live a wonderful and full life.
