“在基督裏紮根”第一部分,談論了我們如何利用神的教誨面對外部世界。而這一部分,我們將介紹如何聚焦於內在修養。
精神修養需要我們創造出信仰可以茁壯成長的環境。關鍵元素包括願意過聖潔的生活,積極實踐真理,耐心等待啟示,對基督和他的教會的信仰,對神的話語的默想,參與聖經討論,和傳播神的話語。
我們應該追求過聖潔的生活,避免做錯事情,併去滿足神的期望。此外,我們需要將神的教誨應用到生活中,而不僅僅是對它們有所了解。當我們持續應用神的話語時,我們對神的話語的理解會增長,正如使徒行傳中的門徒所描繪的那樣。理解經文需要耐心;即刻的滿足感可能會阻止我們追求神的智慧。
堅定對基督和真教會的信仰。理解,除去懷疑,去學習和相信教義,對於我們精神成長至關重要。反思和默想神的話語,可以讓我們深化理解,超越表面層次。參與關於神的教誨的討論,可以進一步增強我們的知識,併幫助我們彼此學習。此外,向他人傳播和分享神的話語,可以讓我們更有效地內化,神對於我們的教導。
Spiritual growth is reflected in our prayers. We should focus on spiritual rather than physical matters, pray for others rather than just ourselves, seek God’s teachings instead of merely asking for His blessings, and strive to love God more rather than just seeking His love. In other words, we cannot just ask for blessings but not take commitments towards Him. Such a shift in prayer focus represents the deepening of our faith roots, leading to a fruitful spiritual life.
Having an intimate relationship with God is good but not complete. God also wants us to have a Godly relationship with people, our fellow brethren. I invite you to join us on this journey of taking root and growing your with Christ and your fellow brethren by taking the first step in attending our Fall Evangelical Services and Spiritual Convocation (ESSC) from September 14 to 17,2023 at our church located as follows:
