Adopted As One Of His Own (Chinese/English)

Ephesians
以弗所书
Chapter 1 verse 5
1章5节

5 he predestined us[b] for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will,
他按着自己的旨意，在耶稣基督里预定我们作他的儿子。

Adopted As One Of His Own
被收养为自己的孩子

We can get tied up with the doctrines of election and predestination and yes, I completely believe in them, but we need to focus on this fact, that we are adopted into God’s family as sons of the most high God.
我们可以被拣选和预定，是的，我完全相信，但我们需要关注这样一个事实，即我们作为至高上帝的儿子被上帝收养进入他的家庭。

Why did he do this?
他为什么要这么做？

Remember that God didn’t have to do this, He didn’t and in my case, I have no idea, why He did it.
记住，上帝不必这样做，就我而言，我不知道他为什么这样做。

Adoption is one of the great doctrines of the Bible, we don’t have to understand it it fully, we just have to embrace the fact that we are adopted. So many believers are insecure in their faith, they wonder if God truly loves them. If they got a grip of the magnificent doctrine of adoption and the fact that God is their Father and they are His son, and that he/she has done nothing to deserve that, then they would feel completely reassured and live in confident faith.
拣选是圣经中最伟大的教义之一，我们不需要完全理解它，我们只需要接受我们被拣选的事实。许多信徒对他们的信仰没有信心，他们怀疑神是否真的爱他们。如果他们掌握了拣选的伟大教义，以及上帝是他们的父亲，他们是他的儿子的事实，并且他/她没有做任何值得那样的事情，那么他们就会感到完全放心，并充满信心地生活。

God adopted us to Himself, we are his child, He is our Father. He adopts us in a personal way, to Himself, once adopted, we are linked to Him, He is our Father, we are His child.

上帝拣选了我们，我们是他的孩子，他是我们的父亲。他以个人身份拣选我们，一旦拣选，我们就与他联系在一起，他是我们的父亲，我们是他的孩子。

He did it through Jesus Christ, all that the Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, has we have, we have access to the Father, free and unlimited access, we are clothed with Christ’s righteousness.
他借着耶稣成就了这件事，他的儿子，主耶稣基督所有的，我们也有。我们可以自由的没有束缚的接触我们的天父，因我们披戴了基督的义。

Again, adoption is a Sovereign gift, all the things, we will talk about, are love gifts from the Father, through the Son and applied by the Spirit.
同样，拣选是一个主权礼物，所有的事情，我们都会谈论，都是来自天父爱的礼物，通过儿子，由圣灵降下。

Being a child of God, you are chosen, you are predestined to be sons of the Lord of the universe.
做为上帝的孩子，你被选中了，你就注定是宇宙之主的孩子。

There is no higher privilege than that. Amen
没有比这更高的特权了。。。阿门

Matthew Henry says this:
亨利 马修说：

Predestination has respect to the blessings they are designed for; particularly the adoption of children, it being the purpose of God that in due time we should become his adopted children, and so have a right to all the privileges and to the inheritance of children
命定包含他们应得的祝福；特别是在收养孩子上，这是上帝的目的，在适当的时候，我们应该成为他的收养孩子，因此有权享有所有的特权以及子女的遗产。

God bless you
上帝祝福你h
