“The Life of Christ”“ 耶稣的一生”Colossians 1:27 To whom God was pleased to give knowledge of the wealth of the glory of this secret among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:Galatians 2:20 I have been put to death on the cross with Christ; still I am living; no longer I, but Christ is living in me; and that life which I now am living in the flesh I am living by faith, the faith of the Son of God, who in love for me, gave himself up for me.

Principle 原则 1. Jesus gave Himself for us

JESUS ！

The exchanged life: “Not I but Christ….”生命的互换 : “ 不是我而是耶稣……”Christian “Reincarnation” 1.) Philippians 1:21For to me life is Christ and death is profit.2.) Romans 12:1-2For this reason I make request to you, brothers, by the mercies of God, that you will give your bodies as a living offering, holy, pleasing to God, which is the worship it is right for you to give him.] And let not your behaviour be like that of this world, but be changed and made new in mind, so that by experience you may have knowledge of the good and pleasing and complete purpose of God.3.) 2 Corinthians 4:10-12 In our bodies there is ever the mark of the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may be seen in our bodies. For, while living, we are still being given up to death because of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may be seen in our flesh, though it is under the power of death. So then death worked in us, but life in you. So then, death is working in us, but life in you.

The Executed Life “I am crucified with Christ”生命的呈现：“我已于耶稣同钉十字架”The cross….Paul’s Discovery 1.) Romans 7:24-25 How unhappy am I! who will make me free from the body of this death? I give praise to God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So with my mind I am a servant to the law of God, but with my flesh to the law of sin.2.)Romans 6:6; 11; 13 6 ， Being conscious that our old man was put to death on the cross with him, so that the body of sin might be put away, and we might no longer be servants to sin. 11 Even so see yourselves as dead to sin, but living to God in Christ Jesus. 13 And do not give your bodies to sin as the instruments of wrongdoing, but give yourselves to God, as those who are living from the dead, and your bodies as instruments of righteousness to God. a. know 知道 b. reckon 估计 c. yield 产出
