COLOSSIANS 2
6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: 7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
歌罗西书 2
6 你们既然接受了主基督耶稣，就当遵他而行，
7 在他里面生根建造，信心坚固，正如你们所领的教导，感谢的心更加洋溢了。
WALK AS YOU RECEIVED CHRIST
像当初接受基督那样行事为人
We often wonder, how do we walk as Christians?
我们常常会想，作为基督徒，我们究竟该如何行事为人？
Paul says in verse 6, that we should walk, as we received Christ when we first came to faith, so how did we come to faith?
保罗在第 6 节中说，我们当初怎样接受了基督，就当怎样遵祂而行。那么，我们最初是怎样归信基督的呢？
We came in faith, we came as little children and with a humble and contrite heart.
我们凭着信心而来，像小孩子一样，怀着一颗谦卑与悔碎的心而来。
When we came to faith in Christ, we came in repentance, we came completely dependent on Christ and upon him alone for salvation.
当我们信靠基督时，我们是在悔改中而来，完全仰望并唯独倚靠基督的救恩。
Coming to faith in Christ, was amazing to us, we received Him with joy and were praising God.
归信基督对我们而言是无比奇妙的经历，我们满怀喜乐地迎接祂，止不住地赞美神。
We should walk in the same joyful manner, that we came to faith, for me, I can remember every moment of that special night, it was and is a joyful memory. Oh to walk in that same freshness of joy.
我们今日行事为人，也当带着当年初信时那份满溢的喜乐。对我个人而言，那个特别之夜的每一个瞬间我都记忆犹新，那至今仍是一段无比欢欣的回忆。多么渴望能一直活在那种新鲜而充沛的喜乐之中！
The famous hymn says:
正如那首著名的诗歌所唱：
Where is the blessedness I knew when first I sought the Lord?
我初寻见主时的福份如今安在？
Where is the soul refreshing view of Jesus and His Word?
耶稣与祂话语那令人苏醒的属灵看见，如今又在何方？
So we are to walk in the same way, if we walk in faith, and as little children completely dependent on Christ with a humble and contrite heart.
因此，我们就要以同样的方式去行：凭着信心，像小孩子一样完全倚靠基督，存着谦卑与痛悔的心。
We should walk with a repentant and penitent heart.
我们当怀着悔改与忏悔的心行事。
We should walk with a heart full of praise.
我们当怀着满有赞美的心行事。
We should walk with a humble heart.
我们当怀着谦卑的心行事。
When we came to know Christ in salvation, we came humbly to the foot of the cross, we came without pride, not trusting in our own works, but crying out to God for salvation.
当我们蒙恩认识基督时，我们谦卑地来到十字架脚下，毫无骄傲，不靠自己的行为，唯有向神呼求救恩。
We came without hope and without anything, we came with nothing.
我们来的时候毫无指望，两手空空，一无所有。
We only brought our sin.
我们带去的，只有我们自己的罪污。
We need to walk as believers in the same way we came to salvation, we had nothing to offer God, when we came to faith, but he forgave us all our sins and filled us anew.
作为信徒，我们今天行事为人，依然要像当初蒙恩时那样——信主时我们对神毫无贡献可言，但祂却赦免了我们所有的罪，并用祂的生命重新充满我们。
Believe me, don’t I know it. God took a useless sinner such as me and filled me full of his holy spirit.
相信我，我深有体会。神救赎了我这样一个毫无用处的罪人，并用祂的圣灵将我完全充满。
Pride was completely thrown out of the window at the cross, so it needs to be when walking daily with our Lord.
骄傲在十字架前早已被彻底抛到九霄云外，在我们与主同行的每一天里，也理当如此。
It is never about us.
这永远与我们自己无关，一切都是关于祂。
If we walk in the same way, as we came to faith, we will be rooted deeply in Christ and we will have stability in our faith.
如果我们能始终像最初归信时那样行事为人，我们就会在基督里深深扎根，我们的信心也会无比稳固。
So often we lose the joy of our first love, just like the church in Ephesus.
我们常常像以弗所教会一样，失落了起初那份爱心的喜乐。
Let us seek to keep that freshness of our first love, and to walk with Christ, as we received Christ.
让我们切切寻求保持起初爱心的新鲜与纯粹，当初怎样接受了主基督，如今也怎样与祂同行。
God bless you
愿神赐福予你
