【041】今日灵粮 Spiritual FOOD TODAY：远离叫你跌倒背乎真理之道的人 Stay Away From Those Who Cause You to Stumble and Go Against the Truth.

《SCRIPTURE 经文》：使徒保罗劝勉那些已经得救、成为新造的人，要谨慎，远离那些使你们跌倒、违背真理的人。他说：” 弟兄们，那些离间你们、叫你们跌倒、背乎所学之道的人，我劝你们要留意躲避他们。因为这样的人不服事我们的主基督，只服事自己的肚腹，用花言巧语诱惑那些老实人的心。”; The Apostle Paul exhorted Christians who have been saved and become new creations to be careful and stay away from those who would cause you to stumble and go against the truth. He said, “I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them. For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery, they deceive the minds of naive people.” (罗马书Romans 16:17-18)  

【SHARING 分享】：《今日灵粮 Spiritual FOOD TODAY》分享的经文是罗马书16:17-18。使徒保罗劝勉我们这些得救的信徒，特别是在教会里服侍的人，要谨慎，远离那些叫你们跌倒，落在真理网罗的人。众所周知，圣经中多处经文警告我们，那些拒绝真理、拥护不义的人，就会被 “不法之人” 撒但迷惑，落入网罗，最终灭亡。这种迷惑并非偶然，而是他们拒绝喜爱和接受那能拯救他们的真理的直接结果。撒但会用各种邪恶的伎俩来迷惑那些正在灭亡的人。被迷惑的关键在于不喜爱真理，偏爱不义。

在《灵命日粮 Our Daily Bread》专栏中，福音写作家迈克·威特默发 Mike Witmer 表了一篇题为 “喜爱真理 Love the Truth” 的讲道，引用帖撒罗尼迦后书 2:7-12，提醒信徒在服侍他人时，尤其是在教会中，必须明白被撒但迷惑的关键在于不喜爱真理，而喜爱不义。

迈克·威特默接着举了一个名叫杰基的青少年的例子，他讨厌学校。他不喜欢代数、语法和化学，但他喜欢盖房子。杰基的爸爸会在暑假带他去打工，他总是乐在其中。虽然他只有 16 岁，但他认识水泥砖，还会砌墙。学校和建筑工地有什么区别呢？区别在于爱和喜爱。杰基不喜欢学校，但他热爱建筑，这份热爱激励他学习了很多建筑方面的知识。

作为基督徒，使徒保罗在帖撒罗尼迦后书 2:10 提醒我们要 “喜爱真理”。在同一章的 9-10 节中，他警告说， “不法的人” 会使用撒但的手段 “行各样的异能、神迹” ，迷惑 “那些灭亡的人” 。如前所述，保罗也在第 11 节见证说，他们不明白真理，而就被欺骗了。那么，我们需要什么样的知识呢？这取决于一个关键问题：我们喜爱什么？我们的激情影响着我们的内心和思想。我们珍视、保护并渴望得到更多我们所喜爱的东西。如果我们热爱真理和智慧，我们就会热切地寻求它们，就像箴言 3:13-14 和 4:7-9 中描述的寻求珍贵的金子一样, 真理和智慧可以保护我们。所罗门王在箴言 4:6 中告诫我们： “不可离弃智慧，智慧必保守你；爱慕智慧，智慧必保佑你。”

什么是真正的智慧？信靠救主耶稣才是得救的真正智慧。耶稣在约翰福音 14:6 中说：“我就是道路、真理、生命。” 因此，我们必须思考一个最重要的问题：“我们该爱谁？” 如果你爱救主耶稣，你就会学习祂的救恩之道。耶稣会引导你找到救恩的真理，并保护你的生命免受欺骗和毁灭。因此，爱慕真理至关重要！我们必须远离那些使你跌倒、违背真理的人。

The verse shared by 今日灵粮 Spiritual FOOD TODAY is Romans 16:17-18. The Apostle Paul exhorts us, the saved believers, especially those serving in the church, to be careful and stay away from those who cause you to stumble and fall into the snare of the truth. As we all know, many verses in the Bible warn us that those who reject the truth and support unrighteousness will be deceived by Satan, the "man of lawlessness", fall into the snare, and ultimately perish. This deception is not accidental, but a direct result of their refusal to love and accept the truth that can save them. Satan will use all kinds of evil tricks to deceive those who are perishing. The key to being deceived is not loving the truth and preferring unrighteousness.

In the column Our Daily Bread, gospel writer Mike Witmer published a sermon titled "Love the Truth", citing 2 Thessalonians 2:7-12, reminding believers that when serving others, especially in the church, they must understand that the key to being deceived by Satan is not loving the truth, but loving unrighteousness.

Mike Witmer then gave the example of a teenager named Jackie who hated school. He didn't like algebra, grammar, and chemistry, but he loved building houses. Jackie's dad would take him to work during the summer vacation, and he always enjoyed it. Although he was only 16 years old, he knew cement bricks and could build walls. What is the difference between school and a construction site? The difference is love and preference. Jackie didn't like school, but he loved construction, and this love inspired him to learn a lot about construction. As Christians, the Apostle Paul reminds us in 2 Thessalonians 2:10 to "love the truth." In verses 9-10 of the same chapter, he warns that the “man of lawlessness” will use Satan’s means to “perform all kinds of power and signs” to deceive “those who are perishing.” 

As mentioned earlier, Paul also testifies in verse 11 that they do not understand the truth and are deceived. So, what kind of knowledge do we need? It depends on one key question: What do we love? Our passions influence our hearts and minds. We cherish, protect, and desire more of what we love. If we love truth and wisdom, we will eagerly seek them, just as we would seek precious gold as described in Proverbs 3:13-14 and 4:7-9. Truth and wisdom can protect us. King Solomon warns us in Proverbs 4:6: “Do not forsake wisdom, for it will keep you; love it, and it will protect you.” What is true wisdom? Trusting in Jesus the Savior is the true wisdom for salvation. Jesus said in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life." Therefore, we must ponder the most important question: "Whom shall we love?" If you love Jesus the Savior, you will learn His way to salvation. Jesus will guide you to the truth of salvation and protect your life from deception and destruction. Therefore, loving the truth is vital! We must stay away from those who would cause you to stumble and go against the truth.
