双语灵修（葛培理牧师）：10月1日 失败的仇敌

失败的仇敌

神的道是活泼的，是有功效的，比一切两刃的剑更快……

——希伯来书 4:12

在生活中我们如何才能战胜魔鬼呢？首先我们需要认识到这一点：魔鬼是已经失败的敌人，神的儿子是来废除魔鬼的工作。当基督被钉在十字架上时，对撒但来说看似取得了全胜，但是实际上十字架成为神得胜的象征，因为在十字架上耶稣除去了你我的罪。神将我们所有的罪都放在耶稣身上，因此主在十字架上低头说“成了”的时候，他指的是救赎计划完成了。我们应该抵挡魔鬼。

圣经上说，如果我们抵挡魔鬼，牠就从我们身边逃跑。耶稣战胜魔鬼不是靠着争辩，而是单单藉着圣经的话语。这就是为什么学习和记忆经文如此重要。

今日祷告

天父，当我遇到每天的试探时，谢谢祢藉着圣经的话语来保护我！奉主耶稣基督的圣名，阿们！

Our Defeated Foe

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword…
—Hebrews 4:12

How do we overcome the devil in everyday life? First, we need to recognize that the devil is a defeated foe. The Son of God came to undo the work of the devil. The crucifixion of Christ, which looked like a mighty victory for Satan, turned out to be a great triumph for God, because it was on the cross that Jesus took your sins and my sins. God laid our sins on Christ, so that when our Lord bowed His head and said, “It is finished,” He was referring to the plan of redemption and salvation. Then . . . we are to resist the devil. If we resist him, Scripture says, he will flee from us. Jesus overcame the devil not by argument but simply by quoting Scripture. That is why it is so important to learn and memorize Scripture passages.

Prayer for the day
Thank You, heavenly Father, for the protection of Your Word as I face everyday temptations.
