2023-09-04 周一 满足的喜乐

经文:……你们要住在我的爱里。你们若遵守我的诫命,就住在我的爱里,正如我遵守了我父的命令,住在祂的爱里。这些事我已经对你们说了,是要叫我的喜乐可以在你们里面,并叫你们的喜乐可以满足。(约十五9-11,另译)

我们若是藉着住在主的爱里,而住在主里面,主也是藉着祂的话住在我们里面,而住在我们里面,这样我们就会与主有亲密的交通。从这交通中,我们在灵里会有一些祷告,这乃是那内住在我们里面活的主的发表。藉着这样的祷告,我们知道父就得着彰显并荣耀。

我们若住在主里面,并藉着住在祂的爱里而持续住在祂里面,以致我们能多结果子,彰显祂生命的丰富,使父得着荣耀,我们就会被喜乐所充满。我们的喜乐总是来自我们住在主里面,来自我们住在祂的爱里,来自我们在祂丰富的生命中结果子,并来自父得着彰显和荣耀。就是在这种的生活里,我们充满了喜乐。

In Full Joy – John 15:9-11

If we abide in the Lord by abiding in his love, and if the Lord abides in us by his word abiding in us, then we shall have some intimate fellowship with the Lord. Out of this fellowship we shall have some prayer in the spirit which will be the expression of the living Lord dwelling within us. By praying in this manner we shall know that the Father will be expressed and glorified.

If we abide in the Lord and continue abiding in him by abiding in his love so that we may bear much fruit to express the riches of his life for the glorification of the Father, we shall be filled with joy. Our joy always comes from our abiding in the Lord, from our abiding in his love, from our fruit-bearing in his rich life, and from the expression and glorification of the Father. It is in this kind of life that we are full of joy.
