2024 SVCA 新年特會 一起經歷 神的建造
第二堂：讓我們一起經歷 神的建造
主題經文：19 這樣，你們不再作外人和客旅，是與聖徒同國，是 神家裏的人了； 20 並且被建造在使徒和先知的根基上，有基督耶穌自己為房角石， 21 各房靠祂聯絡得合式，漸漸成為主的聖殿。 22 你們也靠祂同被建造，成為 神藉著聖靈居住的所在。(弗2:19-22) 一.我們原是神手中的傑作，在基督耶穌裡作成的  我們原是祂的工作【或作：傑作】，在基督耶穌裏造成的，為要叫我們行善，就是 神所預備叫我們行的。(弗2:10)  28 我們曉得萬事都互相效力，叫愛 神的人得益處，就是按祂旨意被召的人。29 因為祂預先所知道的人，就預先定下效法祂兒子的模樣，使祂兒子在許多弟兄中作長子。 30 預先所定下的人又召他們來；所召來的人又稱他們為義；所稱為義的人又叫他們得榮耀。(羅8:28-30) 二.我們要同被建造，成為 神的居所  2 祂愛錫安的門，勝於愛雅各一切的住處。3 神的城啊，有榮耀的事乃指著你說的。(詩87:2-3)  13 因為耶和華揀選了錫安，願意當作自己的居所，14 說：這是我永遠安息之所；我要住在這裏，因為是我所願意的。(詩132:13-14)  主題經文  9…你們是 神所耕種的田地，所建造的房屋…16 豈不知你們是 神的殿， 神的靈住在你們裏頭嗎？ 17 若有人毀壞 神的殿， 神必要毀壞那人；因為 神的殿是聖的，這殿就是你們。(林前3:9,16) 三.要在基督的身體裡同被建造，滿有基督長成的身量 11 祂所賜的，有使徒，有先知，有傳福音的，有牧師和教師， 12 為要成全聖徒，各盡其職，建立基督的身體， 13 直等到我們眾人在真道上同歸於一，認識 神的兒子，得以長大成人，滿有基督長成的身量… 15 惟用愛心說誠實話，凡事長進，連於元首基督， 16 全身都靠祂聯絡得合式，百節各按各職，照著各體的功用彼此相助，便叫身體漸漸增長，在愛中建立自己。(弗4:11-16)  根據弗4:11-16，建立基督身體不可少的四件事： 1. 藉著主賜給教會的各種恩賜來「成全聖徒，各盡其職」 2. 藉著「凡事長進，連於元首基督」 3. 藉著持定元首，全身都靠祂聯絡得合式 4. 藉著在愛中彼此的相助與建立 Message 2：Let us experience God’s construction together Memorization Verses: 19 Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, 20 having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, 21 in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, 22 in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.(Eph 2:19-22) 1. For we are the workmanship of God created in Christ Jesus ▪ 20 having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, (Eph 2:10) ▪ 28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. 29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified. (rom 8:28-30) 2. We are to be built together into the dwelling place of God ▪ 2 The LORD loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob. 3 Glorious things are spoken of you, o city of God! Selah (Ps 87:2-3) ▪ 13 For the LORD has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His [a]dwelling place: 14 “This is My resting place forever; Here I will dwell, for I have desired it. (PS 132:13-14) ▪ 9 … you are God’s field, you are God’s building. … 16 Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 17 If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are. (1 Cor 3:9,16-17) 3. To be built up together in the body of Christ to the full stature of the fullness of Christ ▪ 11 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, 12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, 13 till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; 14 that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, 15 but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— 16 from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love. (Eph 4:11-16) ❖ According to Ephesians 4:11-16, the four indispensible things for the building up of the body of Christ: 1. Through the varius gifts given to the Church by the Lord “for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry” 2. Through growing up in all things into Him who is the head - Christ 3. Through holding fast to the head - Christ - from whom the whole body is joined and knit together 4. Through edification and building up of itself in love
