1. 真正的富足,不是数你剩下多少,而是看你给出多少。
「我凡事给你们作了榜样,叫你们知道,必须这样劳苦,扶助软弱的人,并且记念主耶稣的话,祂自己说过,施比受更为有福。」(徒20:35)
In all things I have shown you by example that toiling in this way we ought to support the weak and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He Himself said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
-Acts20:35
2. 一个人是否富足,不是看神给你多少,而是看你能接住多少。
「闲懒的手,造成贫穷;殷勤的手,使人富足。夏天聚敛的,是明智之子;收割时睡觉的,是贻羞之子。」(箴10:4-5)
A slack hand causes poverty, But the hand of the diligent makes rich. He who gathers in summer is a prudent son, But he who sleeps at harvest time is a son who brings shame.
-Proverbs10:4-5
3. 真正的富足不在于家业丰富,而是看你的生命有多少长进。
「你要嘱咐那些今世富足的人,不要心思高傲,也不要寄望于无定的钱财,只要寄望于那将百物丰富的供给我们享受的神;又要嘱咐他们行善,在善事上富足,甘心分授,乐意与人同享,为着将来,替自己积存美好的根基作宝藏,叫他们持定那真实的生命。」(提前6:17-19)
Charge those who are rich in the present age not to be high-minded, nor to set their hope on the uncertainty of riches but on God, who affords us all things richly for our enjoyment; To do good, to be rich in good works, to be ready to distribute, to be ones willing to share; Laying away for themselves a good foundation as a treasure for the future, that they may lay hold on that which is really life.
-1 Timothy6:17-19
4. 富足的心,从来不抱怨神给她多少,只看自己能给神多少。
「耶稣便叫门徒来,对他们说,我实在告诉你们,这穷寡妇投入库里的,比众人所投的更多。因为他们都是从自己的富余中把一些投上,但这寡妇是从自己的缺乏中,把她一切所有的,就是她一切养生的,都投上了。」(可12:43-44)
And He called His disciples to Him and said to them, Truly I say to you that this poor widow has cast in more than all those who were casting into the treasury, For they all cast in out of their surplus, but she, out of her lack, has cast in all that she had, her whole living.
-Mark12:43-44
5. 当你还能歌唱、欢呼时,不管还剩下多少,你都是一个不折不扣的大富人。
「当用各样的智慧,让基督的话丰丰富富的住在你们里面,用诗章、颂辞、灵歌,彼此教导,互相劝戒,心被恩感歌颂神;」(西3:16)
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to God.
-Colossians3:16
6. 真正富足的人,经过一切的损失和剥夺,反而洋溢出生命的丰富。
「我知道你的患难和贫穷,其实你是富足的,......你将要受的苦你不用怕。看哪,魔鬼将要把你们中间几个人下在监里,叫你们受试炼;你们必受患难十日。你务要至死忠信,我就赐给你那生命的冠冕。」(启2:9-10)
I know your tribulation and poverty (but you are rich) ......Do not fear the things that you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to cast some of you into prison that you may be tried, and you will have tribulation for ten days. Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.
-Revelation2:9-10
7. 富足人生,也是平静安宁的人生,从来不担心别人拿得太多,因为你早已拥有万有!
「似乎忧愁,却常常喜乐;似乎贫穷,却叫许多人富足;似乎一无所有,却拥有万有。」(林后6:10)
As made sorrowful yet always rejoicing; as poor yet enriching many; as having nothing and yet possessing all things.
-2 Corinthians6:10
