经文:歌罗西书 2

“你们既受洗与他一同埋葬,也就在此与他一同复活,都因信那叫他从死里复活神的功用。”

《歌罗西书 2:12》

运行我们在上帝里的信心

b. 我们甚至在祂的割礼中,受了属灵里的割礼

2. 扩展了我们因信与主耶稣基督的联合

a. 我们在祂的死与祂认同

b. 我们也在祂的埋葬与祂认同

c. 我们:

i. 在罪上死了

ii. 在肉体上死了

iii. 在世界上死了

3. 这认同感如何运行的一个例子

“我已经与基督同钉十字架,现在活着的不再是我,乃是基督在我里面活着。并且我如今在肉身活着,是因信神的儿子而活,他是爱我,为我舍己。”

《加拉太书 2:20》

a. 主耶稣钉死在十字架

b. 就如这段经文所表达的,保罗与主耶稣认同

4. 另外扩展我们与主耶稣的认同感

c. 主耶稣的复活也是一件我们能够认同的事

d. 我们从死里复活:

i. 得到新生命

ii. 得到一个能够体验上帝大能的真实性的生命

iii. 我们不需要活在软弱中

5. 我们该怎样应用在这经文所阅读的?
