我们的心原来是需要被管理的,而不是任性而为,随心所欲的。不约束它,他就会无限膨胀放纵。保守,警醒,看护好自己的心,不要再放纵私欲了,而是要竭力追求圣洁。世人都在追求财富/家业/事业,谁在追求圣洁呢?这恰恰是我们应该追求的,而且要竭力追求。
在这个淫乱的时代,保持圣洁何等难啊,特别是当一个人成功的时候,面对极大的诱惑,若非圣灵同在绝不能做到。所以才要立志,竭力,警醒,敬畏啊,经上说要逃避淫行,这是玷污自己身体,玷污圣灵的殿的罪。谨守你的心,胜过谨守一切,因为生命的泉源由此而出。
是啊,“从前无知的时候放纵私欲”,经上说的实在没错,人本质上都是因无知而犯罪,现在我们都知道了,就不要再犯罪了。就需要每个人学会自制,敬畏,警醒,这是实在是真理啊,难道自己要堵住自己祝福的源泉吗?

经上记着说:
所以要准备好你们的心,警醒谨慎,专心盼望耶稣基督显现的时候所要带给你们的恩典。 你们既是顺服的儿女,就不要再效法从前无知的时候放纵私欲的生活。 那召你们的既是圣洁的,你们在一切所行的事上也要圣洁。 因为圣经上记着说:“你们要圣洁,因为我是圣洁的。”你们既称那不偏待人、按各人行为审判的主为父,就当存敬畏的心,过你们寄居的日子; ( 彼得前书 1:13-17 新译本 )
Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, set your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance, but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior; because it is written: “YOU SHALL BE HOLY , FOR I AM HOLY .”If you address as Father the One who impartially judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves in fear during the time of your stay on earth;( 1 Peter 1:13-17 NASB )
你们要竭力寻求与众人和睦,并且要竭力追求圣洁。如果没有圣洁,谁也不能见主。 ( 希伯来书 12:14 新译本 )
Pursue peace with all people, and the holiness without which no one will see the Lord. ( Hebrews 12:14 NASB )
你要谨守你的心,胜过谨守一切,因为生命的泉源由此而出。( 箴言 4:23 新译本 )
Watch over your heart with all diligence, For from it flow the springs of life.( Proverbs 4:23 NASB )
你们要逃避淫乱的事。人所犯的,无论是什么罪,都是在身体以外,唯有行淫乱的,是触犯自己的身体。 ( 哥林多前书 6:18 新译本 )
Flee sexual immorality. Every other sin that a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. ( 1 Corinthians 6:18 NASB )
