【双语灵修】我在基督里有一个新的身份I HAVE A NEW IDENTITY IN CHRIST

约翰福音 10:7-10

所以，耶稣又对他们说：“我实实在在地告诉你们：我就是羊的门。凡在我以先来的都是贼，是强盗，羊却不听他们。我就是门，凡从我进来的，必然得救，并且出入得草吃。 盗贼来，无非要偷窃、杀害、毁坏；我来了，是要叫羊得生命，并且得的更丰盛。

我在基督里有一个新的身份

“‘盗贼来，无非要偷窃、杀害、毁坏；我来了，是要叫羊得生命，并且得的更丰盛。’” - 约 10:10

身份盗窃在今天是一个日益严重的威胁。骗子尝试偷取我们的个人资料进入我们的财务帐户。

在属灵的世界，也潜伏有另一个身份盗贼。欺骗大师撒但尝试夺去信徒在基督里有一个新身份的确据。它尝试在我们里面撒下怀疑、绝望、混乱、没有安全感的种子。就算不能拥有我们，魔鬼至少也想使我们疲惫不堪，甚至觉得被打败了，从而限制了我们去服事神和祂的国度。

但我们不是孤单的，我们有神在心中，也有神的话语向我们保证，并以真理坚定我们。耶稣应许我们有丰盛的生命，谁也不能从祂手里把我们夺去（约翰福音 10:28-30）。主和祂的话仍然是我们最好的保护，衪确保我们不会被过去的成功或失败所限制，我们与基督的联合才是我们的保证。凭着信心，我们接受了祂的义而成为神的儿女。我们得蒙赦免、洁净，被委托在世界上作祂的代表。作为神的杰作，我们被创造去做荣耀神的善事，去祝福别人。神借着衪的灵和衪的话语，再度向我们保证，我们是被救赎的、被爱的，是有能力的，为要每天怀着信心和恩典去活出衪的旨意。

祷告

主啊，求你帮助我们看到，我们的价值不是由别人的意见而决定，乃是由你决定的。求你借着你的话语和你的灵常向我们保证，在你里面我们拥有永远丰盛的生命。奉耶稣的名祈求，阿们。

I HAVE A NEW IDENTITY IN CHRIST

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” — John 10:10

Identity theft is a growing threat today. Scammers try to steal our personal information and gain access to our financial accounts.

In the spirit world, another identity thief lurks as well. The master deceiver, Satan, tries to rob believers of the assurance of their new identity in Christ. He tries to sow seeds of doubt, despair, confusion, and insecurity within us. If he cannot possess us, the devil wants at least to wear us down and make us feel defeated, limiting our service for God and his kingdom.

But we are not alone. We have the presence of God in our hearts, and we have God’s Word to assure us and strengthen us with the truth. Jesus promises that we will have life to the full, and no one can snatch us out of his hand (John 10:28-30). The Lord and his Word remain our best protection, affirming that we are not defined by past successes or failures but only by our union with Christ. Through faith, we receive his righteousness and become the children of God. We are forgiven, cleansed, and commissioned to be his representatives in the world. As God’s handiwork, we are created to do good works that honor the Lord and bring blessing to others. As God reassures us through his Spirit and his Word, we are redeemed, beloved, and empowered to live out his purposes with confidence and grace each day.

Lord, help us to see that our worth is defined by you, not by the opinions of others. By your Word and Spirit, assure us always that in you we have full life forever. Amen.
