清理我们的行为（生活的洗涤）

在每个信徒的生命中，都会有那么一刻，圣灵会以神圣的紧迫感压迫我们的灵魂：是时候清理了。不仅仅是按照世界的想法——整理我们的习惯，整理我们的日程安排——而是以一种更深刻、更令人心碎的方式。摆在我们面前的问题是：我们的生活是否符合上帝的话语？

耶稣的死不是为了给我们一个半心半意、不冷不热的基督教。他没有要求我们偶尔行义，经常妥协。他要求我们圣洁。“你们要圣洁，因为我是圣洁的”（彼得前书 1:16）。这不是温和的建议。这是万王之王的命令。如果我们认真对待，这意味着彻底的转变。

今天，许多基督徒已经满足于一种淡化的信仰，一种与文化天衣无缝、几乎难以区分的基督教。但基督的呼召不是要我们融入其中。而是要我们脱颖而出。 “不要效法这个世界，只要心意更新而变化”（罗马书 12:2）。追求圣洁与律法主义无关。它与爱有关——爱那位献出生命将我们从罪的束缚中释放出来的救世主。对基督徒来说，圣洁不是可有可无的。希伯来书 12:14 明确指出：“要力求与众人和睦，并要力求圣洁；非圣洁没有人能见主。”没有圣洁，我们就见不到他。不是因为我们的行为拯救了我们，而是因为圣洁是真正救赎的果实。真正皈依的灵魂渴望成为圣洁。

精神净化需要无畏的自我反省。上帝的话语比双刃剑更锋利（希伯来书 4:12），它能戳穿我们的借口，揭露我们长期容忍的罪恶。圣灵使我们认识到隐藏的偶像——无论是娱乐、人际关系、金钱还是骄傲。想要与圣经保持一致的基督徒必须从忏悔开始。忏悔不仅仅是对罪感到难过，而是远离罪。罪不仅仅是一个错误——它是对神圣上帝的反叛。继续犯罪就是让我们的心变得刚硬。承认并抛弃罪就是在光明中行走（约翰一书 1:9）。

问问自己：我一生中容忍了什么，以至于基督为拯救我而死？我是否在哪些方面妥协了，哪些方面为罪辩护了？如果我们真的想净化我们的生活，我们就必须毫不留情。切断拖累你的东西。如果你的娱乐选择美化了不道德，那就抛弃它们。如果你的友谊让你变得不虔诚，那就重新考虑它们。如果你的言语没有反映基督，那就克制它们。耶稣说：“若是你的右手叫你跌倒，就砍下来丢掉”（马太福音 5:30）。这不是呼吁自残，而是呼吁彻底忏悔。

真正的转变不是靠意志力，而是靠圣言的力量。“求你用真理使他们成圣，你的道就是真理”（约翰福音 17:17）。要与圣言保持一致，我们必须每天沉浸在其中。上帝的话语不是我们生活的补充——它就是我们的生活。被忽视的圣经就是被忽视的灵魂。许多基督徒想知道为什么他们在精神上挣扎，为什么他们的喜乐软弱，为什么他们的信仰感觉脆弱。答案很简单：他们缺乏圣经。敌人知道，如果他能阻止我们接触圣言，他就能让我们变得软弱。但如果我们以圣言为乐，日夜默想（诗篇 1:2），我们就会像种在溪水旁的树，按时结果子。

清理你的生活方式不仅仅是为了消除罪恶；它是为了追求正义。它是关于被圣灵充满，这样圣灵的果实——仁爱、喜乐、和平、忍耐、恩慈、良善、信实、温柔和节制——才能在我们的生命中茁壮成长（加拉太书 5:22-23）。圣灵赋予我们力量，让我们过上应有的生活，但他不会凌驾于我们的选择之上。我们必须顺服他，寻求他，并请他寻找我们，引导我们走上永恒的道路（诗篇 139:23-24）。如果我们太忙、太分心或太迷恋这个世界，我们就会抑制圣灵。但如果我们真诚地寻求他，他会重新充满我们。

耶稣呼召我们成为世界的光（马太福音 5:14）。昏暗闪烁的灯光无法刺穿黑暗。我们被召唤来发出光芒。这个世界不需要更多看起来和行为都像它的基督徒。它需要基督徒的生活截然不同，以激发好奇、惊奇，并最终激发信念。当基督徒真正与圣经保持一致时——当他们的生活不再妥协、充满圣洁时——他们就会变得无可挑剔。他们的话语有分量。他们的存在会散发出恩典。他们的行为会反映基督。

兄弟姐妹们，现在是时候了。不要拖延精神大扫除的工作。不要推迟对圣洁的呼唤。基督来了。当他回来时，愿他发现我们已经准备好了。愿他发现我们忠诚。愿他发现我们走在光明中，毫无羞耻，充满喜悦。如果你属于基督，那么就像基督一样生活。让你的生活与圣言保持一致。清理需要清理的东西。走在圣洁中，为他的荣耀和你永恒的快乐。

“清心的人有福了，因为他们必得见神。”（马太福音 5:8）
