MSITN VITAL DOCTRINES – CHRISTOLOGY

THREE APPROPRIATE REMINDERS

我夜间的歌曲-重要教义-基督论
经文:歌罗西书 4

“你们要爱惜光阴,用智慧与外人交往。 你们的言语要常常带着和气,好像用盐调和,就可知道该怎样回答各人。”

《歌罗西书 4:5-6》

保罗为信心与生命的典范

1. 保罗的生命是非常出色的

a. 身为主耶稣基督的信徒

b. 也身为主的仆人

i. 一位师傅与传道的

ii. 一位使徒

iii. 一位信的申冤者以及更多

2. 他生命的模范是:

a. 主耶稣基督

b. 圣经里的教导

c. 他的不渝和忠实极为显著

三个恰当的提醒

1. 保罗写给歌罗西人的信接近了尾声

2. 他在信里想要特别强调三点

3. 若他们仔细遵从这三点,就会成为出色的信徒

a. 智慧

i. 这是首先要寻获的

ii. 这得在有意义地为主而活中实践

iii. 智慧必要伴随我们在主里的信

b. 光阴(时间)

i. 光阴是主所赐的宝贵礼物

ii. 我们得意识光阴是无从挽回的

iii. 我们应该把握时光以及有意义地使用它

iv. 我们不该浪费时间

c. 言语

i. 信徒受鼓励来学习如何好好说话

ii. 说话时常常带着和气(恩慈与温柔)是至关重要的

iii. 说话时好像用盐调和(关键是真理)

iv. 好的言语需要用来回应质问我们在主耶稣基督里的信实的人

我们能够学好这三点。
