Living Out God's Love in Our Lives

### Summary

今天的讲道围绕着神的爱和我们如何在生活中体现这种爱展开。我们首先感谢神的爱和救恩，使我们能够来到祂的殿中敬拜祂。神的爱不仅仅是我们与祂之间的关系，更是我们与弟兄姐妹之间的互动。我们被呼召要彼此相爱，这不仅是一个命令，更是我们新生命的标志。通过圣灵的工作，神的爱被浇灌在我们心中，使我们能够超越人类有限的爱，展现出无条件的、牺牲的爱。

我们通过圣法兰西斯的祷告，反思了什么是真正的爱。这个祷告提醒我们在仇恨中播下爱，在伤害中播下饶恕，在怀疑中播下信心。约翰一书教导我们，神是光，神是爱，我们应当彼此相爱，这就是从起初所听见的命令。我们得救后，圣灵将神的爱浇灌在我们心中，使我们能够从黑暗的权势中被带到光明的国度。

我们还探讨了两种生命和两种行为的对比。该隐和亚伯的故事告诉我们，属恶者的生命是充满仇恨和嫉妒的，而属神的生命则是充满爱和牺牲的。我们要警惕自己的心态和行为，确保我们是活在神的爱中，而不是被仇恨和嫉妒所控制。

最后，我们强调了爱需要具体的行动，而不仅仅是言语上的表达。我们要在行为和诚实上展现神的爱，关怀有需要的弟兄姐妹。我们要在圣洁和真理中进行彼此的关怀，避免任何可能引起误会的行为。通过这些具体的行动，我们才能真正成为神的见证，荣耀祂的名。
