【雅各书 4:7】故此，你们要顺服　神。务要抵挡魔鬼，魔鬼就必离开你们逃跑了。【James 4:7 】Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

雅各的话是那么的斩钉截铁，一定要…世上有太多的试探、迷惑，稍不警醒就中了魔鬼的圈套。James' words are so decisive, and we must… There are too many temptations and deceptions in the world. If we are not alert, we will fall into the devil's trap. 神的儿女务要认定主，顺服神，警醒祷告免得入了迷惑，只讨主的喜悦，凡事为荣耀神而行。God's children must recognise the Lord, obey God, be alert, and pray so as not to be tempted, only pleasing the Lord, and doing everything to glorify God. 每天都是一场争战，撒旦如同吼叫的狮子遍地游行寻找可吞吃的人。但雅各告诉我们秘诀，就是要顺服神，顺服真理，务要抵挡魔鬼，拒绝一切的诱惑，试探。Every day is a battle, and Satan is like a roaring lion, walking around looking for people to devour. But James tells us the secret, which is to obey God and the truth, resist the devil, and reject all temptations.

经上告诉我们，不要爱世界和世界上的事。人若爱世界，爱父的心就不在他里面了。The Bible tells us not to love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in them. 因为凡世界上的事，就像肉体的情欲，眼目的情欲，并今生的骄傲，都不是从父来的，乃是从世界来的。For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world. 世界是那恶者掌权，我们爱世界就是爱魔鬼就是顺从魔鬼，神说：“世界在祂里面毫无所有，”祂心里只有父和父的旨意，但世界在我们里面却是样样都有。The world is ruled by the evil one. If we love the world, we love the devil and obey the devil. God said, "The world has nothing in Him." He only has the Father and the Father's will in His heart, but the world has everything in us.

雅各说：“与世俗为友就是与神为敌，所以凡想要与世俗为友的，就是与神为敌了。”结局就是与神的国无份，还要接受将来的审判。James said, "Friendship with the world is enmity with God; therefore whoever wants to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God." The end result is that we have no share in the kingdom of God and will have to accept future judgement.神存留我们的气息，是要我们在世上胜过一切的试探诱惑，夺地为业，使我们的心思意念全然被神掌权，God preserves our breath so that we can overcome all temptations and seductions in the world, seize the land for our inheritance, and let our minds and thoughts be completely controlled by God. 天天思念天上的事，积攒财宝在天上，寻求智慧的心数算自己的日子，为永恒的盼望作预备。We should think about heavenly things every day, store up treasures in heaven, and seek wisdom to count our days and prepare for eternal hope.

主啊，你为救我舍了你自己，付上了极大的代价，以圣灵的形式住到我们里面，赐给我们权柄可以胜过魔鬼。Lord, You gave up Yourself to save me and paid a great price. You live in us in the form of the Holy Spirit and give us the authority to overcome the devil. 如今，我们转道，竭力顺服神，渴慕那真智慧，不再继续忘恩作恶，让你圣灵担忧、痛心。Now, we turn to obey God with all our strength, and long for true wisdom. We will no longer continue to be ungrateful and evil, which will worry and grieve Your Holy Spirit. 爱你所爱，恨你所恨。谦卑顺服，追求彼此相爱、彼此和睦，不爱这个世界，不与世俗为友，不体贴肉体，把肉体和肉体的邪情私欲钉在十架上，敬畏神，单单讨父的喜悦，与主同行！ We will love what You love and hate what You hate. Be humble and obedient, pursue loving one another, and live in peace with one another. Do not love this world, do not make friends with the world, do not indulge in the flesh, nail the flesh and its evil passions and desires to the cross, fear God, simply please the Father, and walk with the Lord!
