Topic 话题：作为神的儿女，你必须圣洁才能亲近神，因为神是圣洁的 As a Child of God, You Must Be Holy to Approach God Because He Is Holy
Scripture 经文：神晓谕摩西給神的子民儿女说： “你们要归我为圣，因为我 ─ 耶和华是圣的，并叫你们与万民有分别，使你们作我的民。” God told Moses to tell His people: “You are to be holy to me because I, the LORD, am holy, and I have set you apart from the nations to be my own.” (利未记 Leviticus 20：26)
Sharing 分享: 耶稣在登山宝训中讲道时，特别是马太福音 Matthew 5:48，他总结道： “所以，你们要完全，像你们的天父完全一样。”
有一位牧师接着引用彼得前书 1 Peter 1:13-16 告诉我们，得救的证明是圣洁。换句话说，我们对耶稣基督的顺服证明了我们得救了。反律法主义，即不守律法，在今天的福音派教会中盛行。牧师继续阐述道，虽然我们的灵性确实已经焕然一新，但我们仍然生活在一个堕落的世界里，有犯罪的倾向。我们必须明白的是，我们的得救始于救赎，直到耶稣回来，将这些罪恶的身体改造成像他自己的身体一样荣耀，才能完成。
因此，基督徒有责任保持圣洁，正如神在“今日灵粮 Spiritual FOOD TODAY”所引用的旧约圣经，利未记 Leviticus 20:26 中命令基督徒的那样，同样，使徒彼得也在彼得前书 1 Peter 1:15-16 中指出并说道：“那召你们的既是圣洁，你们在一切所行的事上也要圣洁；因为经上记着说：‘你们要圣洁，因为我是圣洁的。’”让我们祈求神怜悯我们的软弱，坚定我们的信心, 帮助我们保持一身圣洁，以遵循使徒保罗在哥林多后书 2 Corinthians 7:1 中的教导：“亲爱的弟兄啊，我们既有这等应许，就当洁净自己，除去身体灵魂一切的污秽，敬畏神，得以成圣。”
When Jesus preached in the Sermon on the Mount, specifically Matthew 5:48, He concluded, “Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.”
One pastor then quoted 1 Peter 1:13-16 and told us that the proof of salvation is holiness. In other words, our obedience to Jesus Christ proves our salvation. Antinomianism, or non-observance of the law, is rampant in evangelical churches today. The pastor went on to elaborate that while our spirits have indeed been renewed, we still live in a fallen world with sinful tendencies. What we must understand is that our salvation begins at the Redemption and will not be completed until Jesus returns and transforms these sinful bodies into glorious bodies like His own.
Therefore, Christians have a duty to be holy, as God commands Christians in our 今日灵粮 Spirit FOOD TODAY’s quoted Leviticus 20:26 from Old Testament in the Bible, and likewise the Apostle Peter points out and says in 1 Peter 1:15-16: “But as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, for it is written, ‘You shall be holy, for I am holy.’” Let us pray that God will have mercy on our weaknesses, strengthen our faith, and help us to remain holy and follow the Apostle Paul’s instruction in 2 Corinthians 7:1: “Therefore, since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.”
