上帝是灵,并没有肉体的形象,那么,祂的形象是什么?我们来尝试从圣经的启示中看看上帝有哪些形象,以及我们作为被造之物是如何彰显并在始祖犯罪之后扭曲上帝的形象的。
但感谢主, 祂道成肉身,把天父的完美形象完美地彰显给我们. 要了解上帝的形象, 就要了解主耶稣基督的生命.
约翰福音1:18 从来没有人见过 神,只有在父怀里的独生子把他彰显出来。
John 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared
him.
希伯来书1:1-3 神在古时候,曾经多次用种种方法,藉着先知向我们的祖先说话; 在这末後的日子,却藉着他的儿子向我们说话。神已经立他作万有的承受者,并且藉着他创造了宇宙。
他是神荣耀的光辉,是神本质的真象,用自己带有能力的话掌管万有;他作成了洁净罪恶的事,就坐在高天至尊者的右边。
4他所承受的名比天使的名更尊贵,所以他远比天使崇高。
Hebrews 1:1-3 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by
his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.
