属于耶稣基督的 The Privilege and power of belonging to Jesus Christ


8:1-4 Romans 8:1-4
8:1 如今,那些在基督耶里的就不定罪了。8:2   为赐生命圣灵的律,在基督耶放了我,使我脱離罪和死的律了。8:3 律法既因肉体弱,有所不能行的,神就差遣自己的儿子,成罪身的形状,作了罪祭,在肉体中定了罪案,8:4 使律法的成就在我们这不随从肉体、 只随从圣灵的人身上。1 So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. 2 And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death. 3 The law of Moses was unable to save us because of the weakness of our sinful nature. So God did what the law could not do. He sent his own Son in a body like the bodies we sinners have. And in that body God declared an end to sin’s control over us by giving his Son as a sacrifice for our sins. 4 He did this so that the just requirement of the law would be fully satisfied for us, who no longer follow our sinful nature but instead follow the Spirit.

凡是在耶稣基督里头的都得权柄 -不被定罪、也得圣灵的力量胜过罪恶。我们里头的微弱犯罪内性没有能力完全顺服摩西的律法。我们需要主耶稣基督为我们牺牲所流下的宝血与圣灵的洁净恩典来胜于罪的捆绑,跟随圣灵的引导,活出正义的生命。
Belonging to Jesus Christ grants us the privilege of being declared – not condemned, and gives us the power of the Holy Spirit over sin. 
The weak, sinful nature in us is unable to fully obey the law of Moses. We need the sacrificial, cleansing blood of Jesus Christ and the sanctifying grace of the Holy Spirit to overcome sin’s grip, and follow the leading of the Spirit to live righteous lives.
