你在结果吗?

圣灵所结的果子是……(加拉太书5:22-23)

请留意有关果子的三件事情:首先,果子是可见的。记得学校里“展示说明”(show and tell)的学习方法吗?“请把你没有行为的信心指给我看,我就借着行为把我的信心显给你看。”(雅各书2:18)信心不是空谈的游戏,你必须每天在别人面前活出来。其次,果子反映出果树的特征。苹果树必然会结出苹果;你越将生命交托给基督,你就越像祂。第三,果子总是为别人的益处而结。你永远不会看见果子啃自己,或听到它说“我不想被摘下来”。好果子使人感到饥饿并摘取食用。圣灵希望在你的生命中结果,好使别人得到饱足和滋养。相反,肉体的行为都是自私的。肉体说:“你使我生气,我不开心。你有我想要的东西。你激怒我了。”然而,圣灵的果子是以基督为中心,也把别人放在自己的前面。请留意“果子”(在英文版本《圣经》)是个单数。尽管保罗列出九种不同的属灵果子:仁爱、喜乐、和平、忍耐、恩慈、良善、信实、 温柔、节制,但它们都出于同一棵树。这棵树能结出你生命的各个方面所需要的一切。你不必只到圣灵那里寻求平安,却要到其他地方寻找爱;或是只到圣灵那里寻求耐心,却要到别人那里寻找自律。你所需要的一切,全都在圣灵的树上。你在结果吗?
