(456) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year: 你是神的殿要保持圣洁 You Are the Temple of God, Keep It Holy

「灵粮经节 TODAY’s Verses」：「岂不知你们是神的殿，神的灵住在你们里头麽？若有人毁坏神的殿，神必要毁坏那人； 因为神的殿是圣的，这殿就是你们；Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple。」（哥林多前书 1 Corinthians 3: 16-17 节）

「灵粮分享 TODAY’s Sharing」： 今晨在「圣经日日行 Bible Day by Day」里，读到甘力克牧师 Rev. Nicky Gumbel 写了一篇， “你在哪里找到圣洁” 的分享。牧者引用诗篇 Psalm 119:1-9 节，尤其是第 9 节，在经节里诗人鼓励我们，尤其是给年轻的一辈，要保持生活与身心洁净，所以诗人问道：“少年人用甚麽洁净他的行为呢？是要遵行你的话！” 也就是灵粮主题要分享的 “你是神的殿要保持圣洁” 。牧者甘力克牧师解释道：对诗人来说，喜乐来自在圣殿中敬拜神。在这同一诗篇的第 4 节，圣殿是人们 “称赞耶和华之名” 的地方，为要我们殷勤遵守神的训词。这便是耶路撒冷对神的子民极其重要的原因。在 6-9 节诗人心中挂念着耶路撒冷的和平和安全，鼓励大家要遵行神的话！耶路撒冷是圣城。在今天的旧约以西结书 Ezekiel 20:40 节的经文中，它被描述为 “我的圣山”。耶路撒冷之所以被称为圣城，是因为圣殿就坐落在那里，圣殿是神的家。而如今，神的家就是教会。教会是新圣城，就如使徒保罗在以弗所书 Ephesians 2:20-22 节里解释的，因为教会是， “被建造在使徒和先知的根基上，有基督耶稣自己为房角石。各房靠他联络得合式，渐渐成为主的圣殿。你们也靠他同被建造成为神借着圣灵居住的所在” 。这个新居也是神的全体子民。通过耶稣，你就是一所新圣殿，你就是神的居所，也就是圣灵的殿。今年十二月和明年正月是圣诞与新年欢乐庆祝的季节，今日灵粮也便在这休假期间停播，预先向大家祝贺圣诞快乐，新年蒙恩！大家星期五开心，周末愉快！

「灵粮祷告 TODAY’s Prayer」：今日灵粮也就引用哥林多后书 2 Corinthians 6: 16-17 节，和大家在主的爱里相互勉励与祷告， 记住，“你是神的殿要保持圣洁”。经节里使徒保罗描述我们做神儿女的，我们的教会团体与会员各人的肢体，都要和睦相处，鼓励献身努力事奉传福音，荣耀归于神。也就是要活出圣经教导的义人圣洁生活。才能显露出蒙有神恩典和恩赐的生命，并能引导那寻求福音救恩未信与初信的信徒，分别为圣能了释：“ 神的殿和偶像有甚麽相同呢？因为我们是永生神的殿，就如神曾说：我要在他们中间居住，在他们中间来往；我要作他们的神；他们要作我的子民。又说：你们务要从他们 （拜偶像的）中间出来，与他们分别；不要沾不洁净的物，我就收纳你们。“ 也就像牧者甘力克牧师祈求的，主啊，我们渴望有你圣洁的同在。也渴望赞美你的名。弟兄姊妹真的要感谢神，因为有主的同在，神的居所我们的教会，也就会充满了和平，安全，和兴旺。祷告奉主名求的。阿门 !

In "圣经日日行 Bible Day by Day " this morning, I read the sharing of "Where do you find holiness" written by Rev. Nicky Gumbel. Pastor Rev. Nicky Gumbel quoted Psalm 119:1-9, especially verse 9, in which the psalmist encourages us, especially the younger generation, to keep our lives holy and purity in body and mind, so the psalmist asks: "How can a young person stay on the path of purity? By living according to your word. " That is, " You Are the Temple of God, Keep It Holy " to be shared in the topic of spiritual food today. Rev. Gumbel explained: For the palmist, joy comes from worshiping God in the temple. In verse 4 of the same psalm, the temple is a place where people "praise the name of the Lord," in order that we would diligently obey the precepts of God. This is why Jerusalem is so important to God's people. In verses 6-9, the psalmist is concerned about the peace and safety of Jerusalem, and encourages everyone to obey the word of God! Jerusalem is a holy city. It is described as "my holy mountain" in the Old Testament with the verse of Ezekiel 20:40. Jerusalem is called the holy city because the temple is located there, the temple is the house of God. Today, the family of God is the church. The Church is the new holy city, as the Apostle Paul explained in Ephesians 2:20-22, because the Church is, "built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit." This new abode or house is also the entire people of God. Through Jesus, you are a new temple, you are the dwelling place of God, the temple of the Holy Spirit. December of this year and the first month of next year are the seasons for Christmas and New Year celebrations. 今日灵粮 Spiritual Food Today will break for a recess during this holidays period. I wish you all a Merry Christmas in advance and a blessed New Year! Happy Friday everyone, have a great weekend!

To this end, 今日灵粮 Spiritual Food Today would like to quote 2 Corinthians 6: 16-17, and encourages with each other in the love of our Lord to pray and remember that " You Are the Temple of God, Keep It Holy." In these verses, the apostle Paul described that we, as children of God, should live in harmony with each other in our church groups and members, and encourage dedication with hard work to serve and spread the gospel. Glory be to God. That is to live out the holy life of a righteous man taught in the Bible. In order to reveal the life of God’s grace and gifts, and guide those who seek the salvation of the Gospel, unbelievers and new believers, they are separated for the Holy with power to explain: “What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people.” Therefore, “Come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.” It is also like the pastor Rev. Nicky Gumbel prayed, Lord, we long to have Your holy presence. And long to praise your name. We as brothers and sisters really want to thank God, because with the presence of the Lord, our church, where God lives, will be filled with peace, safety, and prosperity. Pray in the name of the Lord. Amen!
