【你是与主相交的人吗？】

主讲：陈惠菁传道

08/12/2022



前言：教会的客人 有位大教会的牧师到好朋友的医院探访，朋友通知他医院中有一名病患是他教会的教友。但是当牧师到他的病房探望时，却发现自己并不认识那人，因此问他：“你是教会的教友吗？”“哦，正是。我和教会的主任牧师师母很熟。也认识某某传道。。。。某某同工。。。” 那人说了一堆名字后，就问牧师：“请问你也是这教会的会友吗？”后来当他发现牧师原来就是那教会的主任牧师后，当下红了脸，很不好意思地说：“我30年前曾经在这教会聚会过几次。”牧师为这人祷告，勉励他出院后要回到教会生活，认真追求主后。走出病房后，牧师的好朋友说：“原来他只是你教会的客人，并不是像他之前所夸口的，与你有很深的交情”。  

弟兄姐妹，今天我们与主耶稣的交情如何？是真诚的心相交吗？还是只是耶稣的客人？  

1、 与主相交必有爱（v1-11）
1. 被爱-有一位中保（v2）
使徒约翰写信的目的，是为了提醒信徒，不但不要纵容自己习惯于犯罪，更不要用各种似是而非的借口为罪开脱。但是，如果我们真的犯了罪，不要忘记耶稣是我们的‘中保’就是站在罪人和神中间，代替罪人向神献上赎罪祭，也代表神向罪人宣告罪得赦免。

  2. 爱神-遵守神诫命（v3-6） 一个与主相交的人，不会只靠头脑来认识神。而是会藉亲身经历、定意活出遵行神诫命、爱神的生命来。因此，一定会经历考验、生命的修剪等过程。因此约翰在v5告诉我们，凡遵守主道的，爱神的心在他里面实在是完全的。  

爱神的心= 原文是‘神的爱’  

也就被神AGAPE的爱不断地充满，以至于被改变和感动后，为了不要使爱我们的主伤心，而不愿意犯罪。  

3. 爱人-住在光明中（v7-11）
我们是爱弟兄还是恨弟兄的呢？谁是弟兄呢？身旁的同事、同学、团队、教会的弟兄姐妹还有你的配偶。  

我们是不是爱弟兄的人呢？我们会不会只跟某些人吃饭做朋友？还有来教会，只和一小群人在一起。有时还会怕别人抢走我们爱的弟兄姐妹，而内心对人起了恨意。对配偶，我们会不会也爱得很有限？如果我们不能爱某些人，约翰说，我们就失去方向，走在黑暗里。你说因为无法接受一个人而将自己陷入灭亡的路，值得吗？  

2、 与主相交必成长（v12-17）
1. 灵命会逐渐成熟（v12-14）
小子、父老和少年人对神都有不同深度的认识。代表不同属灵生命的阶段。一个与主相交的人，灵命一定会逐渐成熟。如果你发现到灵命没有成长，那就代表你已经没有活在与主相交的生活里。  

2. 天父世界不兼爱（v15-17）
作为基督徒我们都知道自己在世界上是客旅。也知道肉体的情欲，眼目的情欲，今生的骄傲，对我们是无益处的。但我们是否真的就不爱世界呢？会不会又爱神，又爱世界呢？约翰说人若爱世界，爱父的心就不在他里面了。不能兼爱，只能二选一。  

3、 儆醒认出是末时（v18-27）
1. 不要成为敌基督（v18-23）
世界已经进到末时的末时了，所以我们更是要儆醒。对于敌基督、假教师、假先知和违背真理的教导，基督徒应该不会太难分辨出来。反而是要提防自己的行事为人，千万不要不自觉的成为那变相的‘敌基督’。  

2. 有灵有粮有生命（v24-27）
有灵有粮很重要。有神的话语却没有圣灵的教训，就会成了仪文、字句；但若单单有圣灵恩膏，却没有神的话作平衡，人就会在天上乱乱飞。就会以个人主观的经历取代客观的真理，产生错误而不自知。  

总结：坦然无惧见主面（v28-29）
一个与主相交的人，在平时的日子里必住在主里面。也就是与主亲密的关系已经到一个全人融化在主里面。守诫命不犯罪、爱神、爱弟兄、不爱世界。每天的生活都被神的话语和圣灵来引导教训，给人带来感染力、影响力，并无时无刻儆醒等候主再来。这样当主来的时候，也就是在面对基督的审判台，我们一定可以坦然无惧，不至惭愧。因为能向主交账。让我们都成为与主有真实相交的孩子。

1 John 2: Are You One Who Has a Fellowship with The Lord?  

Introduction: Guest of the Church  

A pastor of a large church visited a good friend's hospital. The friend informed him that a patient in the hospital was a member of his church. But when the pastor visited him in his ward, he found that he didn't know the man, so he asked him, "Are you a member of the church?" "Oh, yes. I know the senior pastor and wife of the church very well. I know a particular preacher... a particular co-worker..." After the man said a bunch of names, he asked the pastor, "Are you also a member of this church?" Later, when he found out that the pastor was the senior pastor, he blushed immediately and said embarrassedly: "I have attended several meetings in this church 30 years ago." The pastor prayed for this man, encouraged him to return to church after he was discharged from the hospital, and pursue the Lord earnestly. After walking out of the ward, the pastor's good friend said, "It turns out that he is just a guest of your church, and he doesn't have a deep friendship with you as he boasted before."   

Brothers and sisters, how is our fellowship with the Lord Jesus today? Is it a sincere heart-to-heart relationship? Or just a guest of Jesus?   

I. There must be love in the fellowship with the Lord (v1-11)  

1. Be Loved – There is a Mediator (v2)
The purpose of the apostle John's writing is to remind believers not to indulge themselves in the habit of sinning and not to use all kinds of plausible excuses to justify their sins. However, if we really sin, don’t forget that Jesus is our “mediator”: standing between sinners and God, presenting sin offerings to God on behalf of sinners, and proclaiming the forgiveness of sins to sinners on behalf of God.   

2. Love God - Keep God's Commandments (v3-6)
A person who is in a fellowship with the Lord does not know God only by the mind alone. Instead, through personal experience and determination to live out a life of obeying God’s commandments and loving God. Hence, you will go through the process of testing and life pruning. So, John tells us in v5 But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him.    

A heart that Love God = the original text is "God's love"  

It also means constantly filled with God's AGAPE love so as after being changed and touched, and in order not to make the Lord who loves us upset, we no longer want to sin.   

3. Love Man - Abide in the Light (v7-11)
Do we love our brothers or hate our brothers? Who are the brothers? Colleagues, classmates, team members, brothers and sisters in Christ, and your spouse.   

Are we people who love our brothers? Do we only eat and be friends with certain people? And when come to church just be with a small group of people. Sometimes afraid that others will take away our beloved brothers and sisters and feel hatred towards them in our hearts. Do we also have limited love for our spouse? If we fail to love someone, John said, we lose our way and walk in darkness. Do you think if we can't accept a person and put ourselves on the road to perish, is it worth it?   

II. Grow in the Fellowship with the Lord(v12-17)  

1. Spiritual life will gradually mature (v12-14)
Children, elders, and young people all have different depths of understanding of God. Represents different stages of spiritual life. A person who fellowships with the Lord will gradually mature spiritually. If you find that you are not growing spiritually, it means that you are not living in a fellowship with the Lord.   

2. Do not love both the Heavenly Father and the world (v15-17)
As Christians, we all know we are tourists to the world. Knowing also that the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life are of no avail to us. But do we really not love the world? Will you love God and the world at the same time? John said that if a man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. You can't love both, you can only choose one of the two.   

III. Be alerted to recognise that it is the end time (v18-27)  

1. Don't be the Antichrist (v18-23)
The world has entered the last stage of the end time, so we must be more vigilant. Christians shouldn't have too much trouble discerning antichrists, false teachers, false prophets, and teachings that go against the truth. Instead, beware of your own behaviour, and never unconsciously become the "antichrist" in disguise.   

2. There is spirit, bread and life (v24-27)
It is very important to have spirit and bread. If there is God’s Word but without the teaching of the Holy Spirit, it will become rituals and text; but if there is only the anointing of the Holy Spirit without the balance of God’s Word, people will fly around in the sky. It will replace objective Truth with personal subjective experience and make mistakes without knowing it.   

Conclusion: Meeting the Lord face to face without fear (v28-29)
A person who has a fellowship with the Lord will abide in the Lord in his ordinary days. That is to say, the intimate relationship with the Lord has reached the point where one's whole being melts into the Lord. Keep the commandments and not sin, love God and brothers, and not love the world. Everyday life is guided and taught by God’s Words and the Holy Spirit, which brings appeal and influence on people, and they are always vigilant and waiting for the Lord’s return. In this way, when the Lord returns and faces judgment from Christ, we will be confident and not ashamed, for we are able to give an account to the Lord. Let us all be children who have a real fellowship with the Lord.
