Word
Who Are You Really?
道
你的真我究竟是谁 ?
What makes up the real “me”? Is it my body? Is it what I have? Is it what I do? Is it what I think?
什么构成了这个真我 ? 是我的身体? 是我所拥有的一切 ? 我所做的一切 ? 我所思所想的一切 ?
We Are Created in The Image of God
我们是照着神的形象创造出来的 .
God is Spirit and we too have a spiritual nature, an inner person(or soul). It is not our outer person that is created in the image of God; it’s our inner person that has the capacity to think, feel and choose.
神是灵，因此我们也有灵的性质：也就是一个内在的人格（灵魂）。 这不是说我们人的外表是照着神的形象塑造的，而是说我们的内在人格，那个有思想，感受和选择能力的人格是这样创造出来的。

Being spiritually alive and connected to God meant that Adam and Eve possessed a number of very important qualities of life:

Pause for Thought 1
Imagine Adam and Eve’s daily life as they were originally created. How would it have been different from yours? What do you think they thought about as they dropped off to sleep each night?

The Consequence of the F all
堕落的后果
Spiritual Death
灵魂的死亡
The effects of Adam and Eve’s sin can be summed up by one word: “death”. Some of the effects of this spiritual death for them (and consequently for us) were:
亚当夏娃之罪的后果可以用一句话来概括：“死亡”。他们灵魂死亡（因而也影响我们）的一些后果包括：
- Lost knowledge of God
“ They are darkened in there understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts”( Ephesians 4:18).
１忘掉了关于神的知识
“ 他们心地昏昧，与神所赐的生命隔绝了，都因自己无知，心里刚硬。”以弗所书 4 章 18 节
- Negative emotions
- They felt fearful and anxious
- They felt guilty and shameful
- They felt rejected
- They felt weak and powerless
- They felt depressed and angry
２．负面情绪
ａ． 他们感到恐惧与焦虑
ｂ． 他们感到内疚和羞耻
ｃ． 他们感到被拒绝
ｄ． 他们感到软弱无能
ｅ． 他们感到抑郁和愤怒
Pause for T hought 2
Do you recall becoming aware of these feelings of guilt, powerlessness and rejection? Which do you particularly identify with?
思考问题２
在你的回忆中你能否记起有过这些内疚，无能为力，被拒绝的感觉？ 哪种感受你最有体会？
Trying to Go Back To How It Was Meant To Be
试图回到原初设计本来的样子
The best the world can offer does not work
世界能给你提供的最好的一切不能解决问题
The world offers us a number of false equations which it promises will recover what Adam and Eve lost:
Performance + accomplishment = significance
Status + recognition =security
Appearance +admiration = acceptance
“Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless.” (Ecclesiastes 1:2)
世界给我们提供了一些伪方程，并许诺靠这些能够重新寻回亚当夏娃失去的东西：
行为表现＋成就＝意义
地位＋承认＝安全
外表＋倾慕＝接受
“虚空的虚空，凡事都是虚空”（传道书 1 章 2 节）
Obeying rules does not work
服从规则没有用处
What Jesus Came To Do
Give Us Back Spiritual Life
耶稣来要成就什么
把灵魂的生命重新赐给我们
“ In the beginning was the Word… In him was life, and that life was the light of men”(John 1:1-4). (Our emphasis)
“太初有道，。。。 生命在他里头，这生命就是人的光”（约翰福音 1 章 1 至 4 节）（我们强调的重点）
“I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full” (John 10:10).
“我来是要叫他们得生命，并且得的更丰盛”（约翰福音 10 章 10 节）
“I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies” (John 11:25). (Our emphasis)
＂复活在我， 生命也在我。 信我的人虽然死了， 也必活着“（约翰福音 11 章 25 节）
What Adam lost was life. What Jesus came to give was life.
亚当丢失的是生命，耶稣来给人的也是生命。
Restore Significance, Security And Acceptance
意义，安全感，和接纳的重建。
Di d you think that eternal life is something that you get when you die? It’s much more than that ---- it’s a whole different quality of life right now. “ He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son does not have life”( 1 John 5:12).
你是否认为永恒的生命是在你死亡之时才得到的东西？ 其实远比那更多――它是现在就有的一个全新质量的生活。“人有了神的儿子就有生命， 没有神的儿子就没有生命”（约翰一书 5 章 12 节）。
Pause for Thought 3
Not all of the thing s on the list we have just read will feel true. If God says something about you, is it true even if it doesn’t feel true?
思考问题 3
不是所有我们刚才读过 的单子上的内容都给人真实的感觉。 如果神说了这些与你有关的话，即使并不使你感觉真实，它们真实吗？
