馬可 1:15, “約翰下監以後、耶穌來到加利利、宣傳　神的福音、

說、日期滿了、神的國近了．你們當悔改、信福音。!”

約翰 3:3 耶穌回答說、我實實在在的告訴你、人若不重生、就不能見　神的國。”

MARK 1:15, "The time has come," he said. "The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news!"- Mark 1:15. “In reply Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again." (John 3:3)

您如何知道已經重生了呢? How did you know that you are born again?

您的生命改變了!, 除非您像小孩班的好學因為小孩須要小心的照顧和鼓勵. 如您重生您會有很多的問題因為您會小心許多事情是否合乎上帝的旨意

You’ve changed your life such as a baby needs careful care under need and the encouragement. If you reborn again you have many questions, because you’re curious about everything from the Words of God just like a baby needs milk...

A. 開始您必讀聖經: 如小孩般的迫切極須喝奶, 靈嬰也須饑餓的心要認識神和讚美神您恨不得藏在基督裏時時刻刻有靈糧吃也就是有神的話語在引導您。.

Without the beginning you don’t know anything, you need to read Bible just like a baby needs milk. Spiritual infant needs to have hungry heart to know God and Praise God! You want to be holy a hiding in Jesus in order to get that spiritual food.ˊ

果樹不長出果實是會死的，您我有一天也會死對於死我們要有所預備，您我要跟隨主耶穌好可了解上帝對您我人生的計劃好可成功上帝對您我的旨意。.

Trees don’t produce food will die someday you and I will die, too. We have to do the preparation for death. We have to follow Jesus in order to do things those to fit the will of God, it would be successes.

B. (注意時間) The Cave of Time: 總要時刻預備有服事神的心

Always be ready to serve God

提後2:1-5, v.1-我在　神面前、並在將來審判活人死人的基督耶穌面前、憑著他的顯現和他的國度囑咐你．v.2,務要傳道．無論得時不得時、總要專心、並用百般的忍耐、各樣的教訓、責備人、警戒人、勸勉人。V3,-因為時候要到、人必厭煩純正的道理．耳朵發癢、就隨從自己的情慾、增添好些師傅．V.4, 並且掩耳不聽真道、偏向荒渺的言語。V.5,你卻要凡事謹慎、忍受苦難、作傳道的工夫、盡你的職份。

2^nd Timothy 4:1-8, In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge: v. 2, preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage--with great patience and careful instruction. V.3, for the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. V.4, they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. V.5, but you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, and do the work of an evangelist.

務要傳道．無論得時不得時2nd Timothy 4:2不管任何情況要感恩神給我們的總要時刻預備有服事神的心；並要警惕被試探。如同保羅先生在他臨終前他自信已信實的接受神的呼召了，自信有獎賞的。It means always to be ready to serve God in any situation, whether or not it is convenient to you. Be sensitive to the opportunities God gives you. But keeping your head makes you morally alert to temptation, resistant to pressure and vigilant when facing heavy responsibility. As Paul neared the end of his life, he could confidently say he had been faithful to God’s called. Thus he faced death calmly, knowing that he would be rewarded by Christ.

你卻要凡事謹慎、忍受苦難、作傳道的工夫、盡你的職份。

保羅鼓勵提摩太也勉勵您我無論傳福音有多困難乃要忍耐到底；至終與主耶穌得天上的獎賞。Paul gave these words to encourage Timothy, and us that no matter how difficult the fight seems - keep fighting. Although Paul would not receive an earthly reward, he would be rewarded in heaven. Whatever we may face-discouragement, persecution, or death - we know our reward is with Christ in heaven.

C. 最後，在主裡您有強大的力量，因為您可穿上神的能力，也就是要拿起　神所賜的全副軍裝、好在磨難的日子、抵擋仇敵、並且成就了一切、還能站立得住。

所以要站穩了、 1.用真理當作帶子束腰、2.用公義當作護心鏡遮胸．3.又用平安的福音、當作豫備走路的鞋穿在腳上．4.又拿著信德當作籐牌、5. 可以滅盡那惡者一切的火箭．6. 並戴上救恩的頭盔、 7. 拿著聖靈的寶劍、就是　神的道．

靠著聖靈、隨時多方禱告祈求、並要在此儆醒不倦、為眾聖徒祈求、

C. Finally be strong in Lord and His mighty power, Pray always! We must depend on (Put on) the seven pieces of God’s giving armor and pray always, they are

1. With strength of the belt of truth buckled around you waist;

2. with the breastplate of righteousness in place;

3. And with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.

4. Take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one;

5. Arrows shot by the Evil one.

6. Accept Salvation as a helmet.

7. The Word of God as the sward.

Take the helmet of salvation and sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, be alert keep on praying. (Eph.6:13-18)

結論POINT:

1. 生命獻給神用Giving your life away for the Lord:

A. 專心愛人並愛到底Focus on loving people; Focus on the end;

b. 您認知您由神所給您的時間，肯奉獻時間為主活，會過得很快樂的。

Knowledge receiving to giving away your life and your time, this is a greatest joy

2. 想一想為甚麼我未死呢?

上帝給每個人早已立定目標，您未完成神對您生命的目標，您未做您的時間的奉獻，想一想您打過好戰嗎? 戰打完了嗎?您有保持您的信心嗎?

2. Thinking this question: Why you’re not dead yet?

God has purpose to each one of us. You are not fulfilled God’s destiny yet. You have not yet to make your most importance contribution. Therefore, think about have you fought the good fight? Have you finished the race, and have you kept the faith?

3. 要用功建立與神和人有美好的關係

任何會影響與上帝關係的事情都必拒絕‧您要靠聖靈忍耐行事才能拒絕罪。

3. Hard Work to have good relationship with Man & men: You require give up whatever endangers your relationship with God, to run patiently, and to struggle against sin with the power of the Holy Spirit. Therefor you also will have a good relationship with the people of God.

您要生活好您必住神看耶穌，您若離開神只專住您自己就沒有好日子過，但其他人也跟您一樣的在過難關，不要緊的因您由受苦中學習能有忍耐就能勝利。

因為主所愛的他必管教、又鞭打凡所收納的兒子。希伯來書 12:1-6 You want to live effectively; you must keep your eyes on Jesus. You will stumble if you look away from Him to stare at yourself or at the circumstances surrounding you. You should be running for Christ, not yourself, and you must always keep Him in sight. When you face hardship and discouragement, it is easy to lose sight of the big picture. But you’re not alone, there is help. Many have already made it through life, enduring far more difficulty circumstances than you have experienced. Suffering is the training ground for your maturity. It develops your patience and it makes your final victory sweet. (He.12:1-6)

4. 要愛神: 是誰最愛他的兒女呢?

是天父最愛祂的孩子，孩子作了錯會傷到孩子自己，天父要更正孩子、訓練孩子、甚至於懲罰孩子，為了使孩子作得對。被更正並不舒服，但是祂的更正乃表明祂是深愛我們，我們必須思考和禱告請教神要我們從中學到甚麼呢? (參考希伯來書.12:5-10: V.5, 你們又忘了那勸你們如同勸兒子的話、說、『我兒、你不可輕看主的管教、被他責備的時候、也不可灰心．And you have forgotten that word of encouragement that addresses you as sons: "My son, do not make light of the Lord's discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you,

V. 6, 因為主所愛的他必管教、又鞭打凡所收納的兒子。』because the Lord disciplines those he loves, and he punishes everyone he accepts as a son."

V.7, 你們所忍受的、是　神管教你們、待你們如同待兒子．焉有兒子不被父親管教的呢 ?Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father?

V.9, 再者、我們曾有生身的父管教我們、我們尚且敬重他、何況萬靈的父、我們豈不更當順服他得生麼! Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of our spirits and live!

V.10,生身的父都是暫隨己意管教我們．惟有萬靈的父管教我們、是要我們得益處、使我們在他的聖潔上有分。Our fathers disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, that we may share in his holiness.

4. Who loves his child most – The father who allows the child to do what will harm him, or the father corrects, trains, and even punishes the child to help him learn what is right? It’s never pleasant to be corrected and disciplined by God, but His discipline is a sign of His deep love for you. When God corrects you, see it as proof of His love and ask Him what He is trying to teach you. (He.12:5-11)

No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.

5. 神是您最苛求的教授: 您若覺得不夠力氣去成功一件事情，祂將會逼您到極點，您只要抓住耶穌的能力，祂不但使您成功，並且您可去幫助那些和您的過去一樣軟弱的人。

5. God is a demanding coach who pushes you to your limits and requires you live to be disciplined. Although you may not feel strong enough to push on the victory, you will be able to accomplish it as you follow Christ and draw on His strength. Then you can use your growing strength to help those around you who are weak and struggling likes you before.

6. 接受並給予；信任且服從: 您接受了神的愛，神給了您甚麼，您就做好的榜樣分享給別人。不能只顧自己，恐怕別人也學您的樣子，您的好榜樣將使他人也信耶穌，而且也成了很成熟的基督徒，這是您的責任: 信任且服從好嗎?

6. Receiving and giving to others in order to make a good example.

You must not live with only your own survival in mind. Others will follow your example, and you have a responsibility to them if you are living for Christ. Does your example make it easier for others to believe in and follow Christ, and to mature in Him? Or would those who follow you end up confused and misled?

Trusting & Obeying

呼召: 我們當中未信主的請站起來! 請伸出您的五個指頭來信耶穌有五個確據: 1. 永生的確據 (約一5:11, 12):. 這見證、就是　神賜給我們永生、這永生也是在他兒子裡面。人有了　神的兒子就有生命．沒有　神的兒子就沒有生命。

1. Assurance of Eternal Life (1st John 5:11, 12)- And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.

2. 回應的確據 (約16:24)- 向來你們沒有奉我的名求甚麼、如今你們求就必得著、叫你們的喜樂可以滿足。

Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete.

3. 輔導的確據 (箴3:5)- 你要專心仰賴耶和華、不可倚靠自己的聰明．Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;

4. 赦罪的確據 (約一1:9)- 我們若認自己的罪、　神是信實的、是公義的、必要赦免我們的罪、洗淨我們一切的不義。If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

5. 勝利的確據 (林前10:13)- 你們所遇見的試探、無非是人所能受的、　神是信實的、必不叫你們受試探過於所能受的．在受試探的時候、總要給你們開一條出路、叫你們能忍受得住。No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.

您若相信就請將右手放在您的心上跟我一齊來禱告: 親愛的天父, 感謝祢為了愛我來到世間救我脫離罪的綑綁，並賞賜我信耶穌的五個確據。求祢給我愛讀聖經、愛禱告、和有一顆愛傳福音說見證的心。我好可榮耀主聖名!
