相信圣灵
Believe in the Holy Spirit
我将你兴起来,特要在你身上彰显我的权能。
——罗9:17
. . . I [have] raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee . . .
—Romans 9:17
沃尔特·奈特(Walter Knight)讲述了一个故事,关于一名刚接受基督的小男孩。“爸爸,我从来没见过圣灵,如何能相信他呢?”吉姆问道。“我会告诉你如何相信。”他爸爸回答。吉姆的爸爸是一名电工,于是带吉姆一起去了发电厂。他开动发电机,说道:“电就是从这里发出的,它可以加热火炉并且给我们带来光明。我们看不见电,但它确实存在于发电机和电线里”。“我相信电的存在。”吉姆回答道。“你当然相信,”爸爸继续说:“不要因为看见就相信,要因为看见它所产生的功效而相信。同样地道理,我们要因为看到圣灵在这些信靠他的人生命中所产生的影响并且拥有的能力而相信圣灵”。
Walter Knight tells the story about a little boy who had recently received Christ. “Daddy, how can I believe in the Holy Spirit when I have never seen Him?” asked Jim. “I’ll show you how,” said his father, who was an electrician. Later Jim went with his father to the power plant where he was shown the generators. “This is where the power comes from to heat our stove and to give us light. We cannot see the power, but it is in that machine and in the power lines,” said the father. “I believe in electricity,” said Jim. “Of course you do,” said his father, “but you don’t believe in it because you see it. You believe in it because you see what it can do. Likewise, you can believe in the Holy Spirit because you can see what He does in people’s lives when they are surrendered to Christ and possess His power.”
