经文：你们是属基督的。（林前3：23）

“你们是属基督的”，你之所以属祂是靠着白白施与的恩典，因为父把你赐给了子；祂为救赎你，以祂自己的宝血为代价；为了把你分别为圣，祂把自己献上；藉着祂与我们和好，我们可以称祂的名为自己的名，并且成了祂的弟兄且同为后嗣。你当以辛劳实践向世界显明你是耶稣的仆人、朋友和新妇。

当你被罪诱惑的时候，你回答说：“我不能犯这大罪，因为我是属基督的。“永生之道不准基督的朋友犯罪。

当财富诱致你犯罪的时候，你要说你是属基督的，并且不要碰它。

你受到种种困难和危险吗？要在邪恶的时代站立得稳，要记住你是属基督的。

你所在之地的人们都终日闲坐，无所事事吗？你要起来尽你一切的力量做工；当你满头大汗的时候，你不要受引诱而怠惰，你要说：“不，我不能停，因为我是属基督的。若是我不被宝血所买，我便像以萨迦一样背重服苦了；但我是属基督的，我不能擦去。”

当靡靡之音传到你的耳中引诱你离开正路的时候，你回答说：“你的歌声不能迷惑我，因我是属基督的。”

当神的工作邀请你效力的时候，你要全力以赴，要把你的东西和你一起给他，因为你是属基督的。

你不要儿戏你的职责，永远使你的举止、行动像一位基督徒，使你的话语像拿撒勒人，使你的言行真有天上的香气，使凡看到你的人都知道你是属于救主的，承认你有祂的爱和祂圣洁的仪容。

声称“我是罗马人！”是个旧说辞证明你的正直诚实，但更重要的是当随时表明“我是属基督的”！

Scripture: “Ye are Christ’s.”(1 Corinthians 3:23)

“Ye are Christ’s.” You are his by donation, for the Father gave you to the Son; his by his bloody purchase, for he counted down the price for your redemption; his by dedication, for you have consecrated yourself to him; his by relation, for you are named by his name, and made one of his brethren and joint-heirs. Labour practically to show the world that you are the servant, the friend, the bride of Jesus. When tempted to sin, reply, “I cannot do this great wickedness, for I am Christ’s.” Immortal principles forbid the friend of Christ to sin. When wealth is before you to be won by sin, say that you are Christ’s, and touch it not. Are you exposed to difficulties and dangers? Stand fast in the evil day, remembering that you are Christ’s. Are you placed where others are sitting down idly, doing nothing? Rise to the work with all your powers; and when the sweat stands upon your brow, and you are tempted to loiter, cry, “No, I cannot stop, for I am Christ’s. If I were not purchased by blood, I might be like Issachar, crouching between two burdens; but I am Christ’s, and cannot loiter.” When the siren song of pleasure would tempt you from the path of right, reply, “Thy music cannot charm me; I am Christ’s.” When the cause of God invites thee, give thy goods and thyself away, for thou art Christ’s. Never belie thy profession. Be thou ever one of those whose manners are Christian, whose speech is like the Nazarene, whose conduct and conversation are so redolent of heaven, that all who see you may know that you are the Saviour’s, recognizing in you his features of love and his countenance of holiness. “I am a Roman!” was of old a reason for integrity; far more, then, let it be your argument for holiness, “I am Christ’s!”
