心中的爭戰(The struggle of your heart) Rom(羅馬書)7:13-25
Intro.
Q: 當人提到復活節時，你會想到什麼呢？(What will you think of when people mention Easter?) A: 生命(Life)。屬肉體，屬靈(body and soul)。 A: 空墓(Empty tomb) 和 十字架(Cross) Q: 基督徒會不會犯罪？會，但不是故意去犯罪，乃是有時候被過犯所勝。 Will Christians sin? Yes, but they are not doing sins on purpose, but sometimes they are overcome by the sin. 今天的經文(7:13-25), 主要談到人在在律法之下，人痛苦的境況。(Today’s verses mainly talk about man’s pain when they are under law.) Q: 在律法之下，人最大的難處在那裏？(What is the problem under law?) A: 無法勝過罪的權勢；所以生活中沒有那真正的自由。(No power to over the tyranny of sin and no freedom in your lives.)
Body:
V13,是律法讓我死嗎？(Does the law make me dead?)
VV14-20,在律法下的痛苦和掙扎(Pain and struggle under law) 我(I) 屬肉體(is fleshly) 賣給了罪(sold under sin) 無法做該做的(unable to do what is it desire) 成為罪的奴隸(a captive to sin) 保羅認識他自己(Paul knows himself well)，v14,v18 保羅不是推卻責任，乃是承認無能(Paul does not deny responsibility but confess impotence.). 他無法勝過罪(He can not overcome sin).
VV21-25,耶穌是答案(Jesus is the answer) 我不能行神的旨意，但耶穌幫助我了！(I can not carry out God’s will but Jesus has helped me!)
Conclusion,
復活節是紀念為耶穌我們的罪，上了十字架，但他從死了復活了。(Easter is to remember that Jesus died on the cross for us but he resurrected.) 信他的人已經經歷了靈性的復活，並等待將來身體的復活。(For those who believed him has experienced the spiritual resurrection and waiting for future body resurrection.) 與耶穌同釘十字架有二個強盜，一個在左一個在右，但其中一個得救，為什麼呢？ (There were two criminals who were also crucified with Jesus, one on the right and the other on the left. But only one is saved; why?) 因他不但是認識自己的罪，也認識基督，但最重要是他求主紀念。(Not only he knows his sin, he also knows Christ; the most important is that he asks Jesus.) 凡求告主名的就必得救，這是聖經的原則。(All who call on the name of the Lord will be saved, this is the principle in the bible.) 最後一起來讀，羅馬10：9-10。(Lastly, let us read Romans10:9-10) 祝大家復活節快樂！(Wish you all have a happy Easter!)
