经文: 你是属谁的?(撒母耳记上三十:13)
基督徒的生命中是没有中立区的。我们若不在耶稣为王的旗帜下,向祂效忠,为祂争战,就成为邪恶之子-撒但的工具。你是属谁的?让我来帮助你回应。你是否已经重生了?如果答案是肯定的,你就是属于基督的;若未经新生,你不能属祂。你信任谁?那些相信耶稣的才是上帝的儿子。你为谁工作?当然你是服事你的主人,你所服事的人显然就是你的主人。你的朋友是谁?你若属于耶稣,你会与那些披戴十架记号的人联合。你的言谈是什么?是属天的或是属地的?你从你的主人那里学到了什么?你若花时间与耶稣同处,以下的话就是对你说的,就如同当初对彼得和约翰说的一样──“认明他们是跟过耶稣的”(徒四:13)。问题仍是:“你是属谁的?”你若不属基督,就必在苦役之中。从残酷主人的控制下逃跑吧!进入事奉爱之主的行列中,你将享受蒙福的一生。你若属于基督,就必须作四件事。你若属于耶稣,就是顺服祂。让祂的话语成为你的律例,让祂的希望成为你的意愿。你若属于那位至爱者,就要爱祂。让你的心拥抱祂,让你的灵充满祂。你若属于上帝的儿子就要信靠祂。除祂以外,别无安息之处。你若属于万王之王,为祂坚定不移。如此,你的生命将向全世界显明你是属谁的。

Scripture: “To whom belongest thou?”(1 Samuel 30:13)
No neutralities can exist in religion. We are either ranked under the banner of Prince Immanuel, to serve and fight his battles, or we are vassals of the black prince, Satan. “To whom belongest thou?”
Reader, let me assist you in your response. Have you been “born again”? If you have, you belong to Christ, but without the new birth you cannot be his. In whom do you trust? For those who believe in Jesus are the sons of God. Whose work are you doing? You are sure to serve your master, for he whom you serve is thereby owned to be your lord. What company do you keep? If you belong to Jesus, you will fraternize with those who wear the livery of the cross. “Birds of a feather flock together.” What is your conversation? Is it heavenly or is it earthly? What have you learned of your Master?-for servants learn much from their masters to whom they are apprenticed. If you have served your time with Jesus, it will be said of you, as it was of Peter and John, “They took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.”
We press the question, “To whom belongest thou?” Answer honestly before you give sleep to your eyes. If you are not Christ’s you are in a hard service-Run away from your cruel master! Enter into the service of the Lord of Love, and you shall enjoy a life of blessedness. If you are Christ’s let me advise you to do four things. You belong to Jesus-obey him; let his word be your law; let his wish be your will. You belong to the Beloved, then love him; let your heart embrace him; let your whole soul be filled with him. You belong to the Son of God, then trust him; rest nowhere but on him. You belong to the King of kings, then be decided for him. Thus, without your being branded upon the brow, all will know to whom you belong.
