真正的信心帶來自由 True Faith Brings Freedom
許多基督徒在不知不覺中，背起了一個聖經沒有交給人的重擔：
Many Christians, without realizing it, take on a burden that the Bible never gave them—
以為自己必須讓人相信、悔改、改變、順服。
believing they must make others believe, repent, change, and submit.
說得更直白一點——
To put it more plainly—
人開始以為自己是神。
people begin to think they are God.
但真正的信心，從來不是這樣運作的。
But true faith has never worked this way.
一、真正的信心，是先把自己站穩
1. True Faith Begins by Standing Firm Yourself
耶穌說得非常清楚：
Jesus spoke with complete clarity:
「你們要先求神的國和神的義，這些東西都要加給你們了。」
“Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”
——馬太福音 6:33
—Matthew 6:33
這句話的次序很清楚：
The order of this statement is unmistakable:
先求神的國和神的義。
First, seek God’s kingdom and God’s righteousness.
不是先去管別人有沒有改變，
Not first managing whether others have changed,
不是先去承擔結果，
not first taking responsibility for outcomes,
而是先把自己站在神的主權與公義之下。
but first placing yourself under God’s authority and righteousness.
信心的起點，永遠是「我與神的關係」。
The starting point of faith is always “my relationship with God.”
二、光的源頭只有神，人不是神
2. God Alone Is the Source of Light; Humans Are Not God
聖經清楚劃出界線：
Scripture clearly draws the boundary:
「他不是那光，乃是要為光作見證。」（約翰福音 1:8）
“He was not the Light, but came to testify about the Light.” (John 1:8)
「我是世界的光。」（約翰福音 8:12）
“I am the Light of the world.” (John 8:12)
光的源頭只有一個。
There is only one source of light.
人之所以被稱為「光」，不是因為自己能發光，
People are called “light” not because they generate light themselves,
而是因為站在光裡，反射神的光。
but because they stand in the light and reflect God’s light.
人不是神，
Humans are not God;
不能成為源頭，
they cannot be the source;
只能作見證。
they can only bear witness.
三、人以為自己是神，才會背錯責任
3. Mistaken Responsibility Comes from Thinking We Are God
當人以為自己必須「讓人信」、「讓人改變」、「讓人順服」，
When people think they must “make others believe,” “make others change,” or “make others submit,”
其實就是把神的工作，誤認成自己的責任。
they are actually mistaking God’s work as their own responsibility.
但聖經說的是：
But Scripture says:
「我栽種了，亞波羅澆灌了，惟有神叫他生長。」
“I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth.”
——哥林多前書 3:6–7
—1 Corinthians 3:6–7
轉化是神的作為，不是人的能力。
Transformation is God’s work, not human ability.
結果不在人的手中，也不在人的績效裡。
The outcome is not in human hands, nor in human performance.
四、基督徒真正的責任是什麼？
4. What Is the True Responsibility of a Christian?
答案其實很簡單，也很清楚：
The answer is actually very simple and very clear:
**不是改變別人，
Not changing others,
而是自己順服神。**
but personally obeying God.
「要竭力在神面前得蒙喜悅，作無愧的工人。」
“Do your best to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed.”
——提摩太後書 2:15
—2 Timothy 2:15
「至於我和我家，我們必定事奉耶和華。」
“As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”
——約書亞記 24:15
—Joshua 24:15
聖經的焦點一再回到：
Scripture repeatedly brings the focus back to:
我、我家、我與神的關係。
me, my household, and my relationship with God.
五、為什麼真正的信心會帶來自由？
5. Why Does True Faith Bring Freedom?
因為一旦承認「我不是神」，人就會鬆下來：
Because once we admit “I am not God,” we begin to rest:
不再承擔不屬於人的屬靈責任
No longer carrying spiritual responsibilities that do not belong to humans
不再把結果的重量背在自己身上
No longer bearing the weight of outcomes
不再用別人的反應，評價自己的信心
No longer measuring faith by others’ responses
「我的軛是容易的，我的擔子是輕省的。」
“My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.”
——馬太福音 11:30
—Matthew 11:30
信仰不是壓力系統，
Faith is not a pressure system;
信仰是秩序系統。
faith is a system of order.
一句定錨（也是我選擇站的位置）
One Anchoring Statement (The Position I Choose to Stand In)
**我先求神的國和神的義；
I seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness;
我不是神，不負責轉化；
I am not God and am not responsible for transformation;
我只負責忠心站在神的話語裡。**
I am only responsible for faithfully standing in God’s word.**
