But the land you are crossing the Jordan to take possession of is a land of mountains and valleys that drink rain from heaven. It is a land the Lord your God cares for; the eyes of the Lord your God are continually on it from the beginning of the year to its end.

(Deu 11:11-12)

我們要來到主面前得真正的安息

We Need to come before the Lord to receive true rest

凡勞苦擔重擔的人可以到我這裡來，我就使你們得安息。我心裡柔和謙卑，你們當負我的軛，學我的樣式；這樣，你們心裡就必得享安息。 (太11:28-29 和合本)

我們要真實的面對軟弱竭力歸回安息享受神的同在

We shall earnestly face weakness and make best effort to return to rest and enjoy God’s presence

--

主耶和華以色列的聖者曾如此說：你們得救在乎歸回安息，你們得力在乎平靜安穩。你們竟自不肯。 (賽30:15 ) This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel, says: “In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength, but you would have none of it. (Isa 30:15)

所以，我們務必竭力進入那安息，免得有人學那不信從的樣子跌倒了。(來4：11)

Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience. (Heb 4:11)

這樣看來，他們不能進入安息是因為不信的緣故了。（来3:19）

So we see that they were not able to enter, because of their unbelief. (Heb 3:19)

--

況且我們的軟弱有聖靈幫助，我們本不曉得當怎樣禱告，只是聖靈親自用說不出來的歎息，替我們禱告。（羅8 : 26) In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.  (Rom 8:26)

我們要依靠羔羊經歷神得勝和安息的喜樂

We shall rely on the Lamb to experience God’s victory and the joy of rest

--

得勝的，必承受這些為業：我要作他的神，他要作我的兒子。 (啟21:7）

Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children. (Rev 21:7)

--

他們與羔羊爭戰，羔羊必勝過他們，因為羔羊是萬主之主、萬王之王。同著羔羊的，就是蒙召、被揀選、忠心的，也必得勝。 (啟17：14)

They will wage war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will triumph over them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings—and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers.” (Rev 17:14)

--

我們如何帶領他人來得享神的安息?

How do we lead others to receive and enjoy God’s rest?

四個屬靈定律The 4 spiritual Laws:

第一律 神愛你， 並且為你的生命有一奇妙的計劃。

God loves you and offers a wonderful plan for your life.

--

第二律 人因有罪而與神隔絕 ，所以不能知道並經驗神的愛和神為他生命的計劃。

Man is sinful and separated from God. Thus, he cannot know and experience God’s love and plan for his life.

--

第三律： 耶穌基督是神為人的罪所預備的唯一救法。籍着他你可以知道并经验神的爱和神为你生命的计划。Jesus Christ is God’s ONLY provision for man’s sin. Through Him you can know and experience God’s love and plan for your life.

--

第四律：我們必須親自接受耶穌基督作救主和生命的主。这样我们才能知道并经理神的爱神为我们生命的计划。We must individually receive Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord; then we can know and experience God’s love and plan for our lives.
