2 Corinthians 5:17

Last Sunday in English Service, Pastor Jon preached on the 6 markers of a Transformed Christian. These 6 markers are:
1. A transformed past
2. A transformed understanding
3. A transformed security
4. Transformed relationships
5. Transformed gifts
6. Transformed goals

As we journey to be disciples that are completely and wholly devoted to Jesus Christ, we need to humbly lay before Him every aspect of our entire life, and allow him to transform us into the men and women He intends us to be. As we reflect on our own human nature and selfishness, we will likely realize that there is some area in our life which we hold on to and want to maintain control over. What area of your life do you cling to and resist yielding full control over to Christ? Is it something you did or something that was done to you in the past? Is it your worldview and how you understand life and eternity? Is it where you place your hope and security? Is it the way you handle your relationships with friends and/or family? Is it how you use (or don't use) the gifts and talents God has given to you? Is it the plans and goals you have for your future? Whatever it may be, identify it, lay it before King Jesus Christ, and allow Him to transform you into a new creation!

Lord Jesus, You are not only the King of the universe, but you are also the King of my life. I want to give you full authority over every area of my life, but I confess that there are areas in my life which I hold on to as my own. Lord, please reveal to me what areas I have not yielded kingship over to you, and help me Lord to release my grip in those areas to you. You are a wise and loving God. Help me to trust you with whatever it is I am holding on to, and allow you to transform that area of my life into something that is God-honoring and holy in your sight. I want to put to death my old self, and claim the new creation that you have transformed me into. Oh Lord, please come transform me into a disciple that is fully devoted to you.
In Christ's name I pray, Amen

哥林多後書 5:17

在上星期天的英語崇拜，林永全傳道在講道中提到六個改造後的基督徒標記。這六個標記為：
1. 改造了的過去
2. 改造了的理解
3. 改造了的安全感
4. 改做了的關係
5. 改造了的天賦
6. 改做了的目標

當我們在成為門徒的旅程中完全的奉獻給主耶穌基督，我們需要謙卑地在衪面前放下我們整個生命的每方面，及容許衪改造我們成為衪計劃中的男與女。當我們反思我們自己的人性及自私, 我們很可能會意識到在我們生命中有一些地方我們仍執着的或者仍然想保持控制。在你的生命中有哪些地方你仍然依偎著並抗拒順服完全的控制給基督？是否一些過去你做過的事或者對你做過的事？是否你的價值觀及你如何理解生命及永恆？是否你擺放希望及安全感嘅地方？是否處理你跟朋友或者家人關係的方式？是否你怎樣運用（或者不運用）神給你的天賦及才能？是否你對你將來的的計劃及目標？不管是甚麼，把它辨認出來，躺放在君王主耶穌基督前，並讓衪改造你成為新造的人！

主耶穌，你不僅是宇宙萬物的王，祢還是我生命的王。我願意祢對我生命的所有地方完全的掌權，但我承認我生命中有些地方我仍然是堅持自己的。主呀，請表明給我在甚麼地方我還未將王權交予祢，主並幫助我去䆁放對那些地方的握緊。祢是有智慧及愛心的神。幫助我在任何仍自我堅持的地方去信靠祢，並容許祢將我生命那些地方改造成於祢看來為尊敬上帝及神聖的事。我願意把我的舊我死去，並宣稱祢改造我成為新造的人。主呀，請來改造我成為一位完全奉獻祢的門徒。
奉主名求， 阿門！
