The Kingdom of God and Eternal Life 神的國與永生 By Chris Berg

什麽是神的國What is the Kingdom of God Psalm 103: 19 – The Lord has established His throne in heaven, and His kingdom rules over all. 詩篇 103: 19 - 耶和華在天上設立了寶座，祂的王權無所不及。 Psalm 145: 13 - Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom; Your rule is for all generations. The Lord is faithful in all His words and gracious in all His actions. 詩篇 145: 13 - 你的國度永遠長存，你的統治直到萬代。 耶和華信守自己的一切應許，以慈愛待祂所創造的萬物。

神的國是統治及權柄 The Kingdom is a Rule and Authority Matthew 6: 33 – But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided for you. 馬太福音 6: 33 - 你們要先尋求上帝的國和�的義，這一切都會賜 給你們。 The Kingdom of God and His righteousness are His rule and reign in our lives 神的國和祂的義就是祂掌管我們的生命。

神的國是統治及權柄 The Kingdom is a Rule and Authority “When we pray, “Thy kingdom come, ’ are we praying for heaven to come to earth? In a sense we are praying for this; but heaven is an object of desire only because the reign of God is to be more perfectly realized then it is now. Apart from the reign of God, heaven is meaningless. Therefore, what we pray for is, “Thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. ” This prayer is a petition for God to reign, to manifest His kingly sovereignty and power, to put to flight every enemy of righteousness and of His divine rule, that God alone may be King over all the world. ” 當我們禱告：願袮的國降臨，我們是在求天堂來到地上嗎？從某方面 來說我們是在求這個，然而我們渴望神國只是因爲神國要比現在更完 美地實現出來。沒有神的掌權，天堂是沒有意義的。因此，我們在禱 告的是：“袮的國降臨，袮的旨意行在地上如同在天上。”這個禱告 是在求神掌管，彰顯祂君王的統管及權勢，趕逐一切抵擋公義及祂的 神權的，唯有神是全地的君王。

Life of the Kingdom John 3: 3, 5 - Unless someone is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God … Unless someone is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 約翰福音 3: 3 , 約翰福音 3: 5 耶穌說：“我實實在在地告訴你，人若不重生，就不能看見上帝的國。 ” 耶穌說：“我實實在在地告訴你，人如果不是從水和聖靈生的，就不 能進上帝的國。 Eternal life has to do with the total man, the soul and the body 1 Corinthians 15: 24 -26, 50; 2 Corinthians 5: 1, 4; Revelation 22: 14 John 10: 10 b - I have come so that they may have life and have it in abundance. 約翰福音 10: 10 - 盜賊來，無非是要偷竊、殺害、毀壞。但我來

Life in the Kingdom John 3: 36; John 5: 24 – Eternal life is also in our possession now, just not in its fullness Eternal life is the knowledge of God John 17: 3 - This is eternal life: that they may know You, the only true God, and the One You have sent— Jesus Christ. 17: 3 - 這永生就是，認識你——獨一的真神， 幷且認識你所差來的耶穌基督。 約翰福音 Knowledge means experience. Knowledge means personal relationship. Knowledge means fellowship. Comes in full in Rev. 22: 3 -4; Jeremiah 31: 31 -33

Life in the Kingdom The second meaning of eternal life is the life of God’s Spirit dwelling within us. 1 Corinthians 15: 42 -44 - So it is with the resurrection of the dead: Sown in corruption, raised in incorruption; sown in dishonor, raised in glory; sown in weakness, raised in power; sown a natural body, raised a spiritual body. 哥林多前書 15: 42 -44 - 死人復活也是同樣的道理。種下去的會朽 壞，復活的不會朽壞； 種下去的是羞耻的，復活的是榮耀的； 種下去的是軟弱的，復活的是剛强的； 種下去的是血肉之軀， 復活的是屬靈的形體。既有血肉之軀，也必有屬靈的形體。 A Spiritual body is a body whose life, whose energy is derived from Spirit— God’s Spirit. A spiritual body is therefore a real body, a tangible, objective body, but one which is completely and perfectly energized animated and empowered by the Holy Spirit of God.

Life in the Kingdom Ephesians 1: 14 - He is the down payment of our inheritance, for the redemption of the possession, to the praise of His glory. 以弗所書 1: 14 - 聖靈是我們領受産業的擔保，直到上帝的子民得 到救贖，使祂的榮耀受到頌贊。 The very life of heaven itself dwells within you here and now! This is what it means to be saved. It means to go about every day in the present evil Age living the life of heaven. It means that every local fellowship of God’s people who have shared this life should live together and worship and serve together as those who enjoy a foretaste of heaven here on earth.
