那用世物的生命的意义

用世物的,要像不用世物,因为这世界的样子将要过去了。(林前 7:31 )

当所罗门王说到一切都是虚空的时候,需要我们想到的是,生命究竟有没有意义?或者究竟什么在赋予意义。正如金钱,本身是一张纸而已,而其价值是人们,是这个世界所赋予的。世物—一切世上的东西也都是如此,关键在于是什么在赋予他们意义。

如果没有信仰,世界就是那给生命带来意义的,人们的想法是为了生存,努力在人和世界的眼中过上更好的生活。但这是暂时的,容易改变的,也没有办法控制的,其实没有真正和永恒的意义。

当基督到来时,由于他是唯一的生命,也是生命的赐予者,那么我生命的所有部分都通过基督有了价值,因为我们在他里面,他在我们里面。我们活在这个世界上就有了充分的意义,因为祂赋予了这一切。即便如此,我们也把这个世界的东西看作是暂时的重要,用世物的,要像不用世物,因为这世界的样子将要过去了。我们盼望天堂-另一个世界的到来。

those who use the things of the world, as if not engrossed in them. For this world in its present form is passing away. (1 Corinthians 7:31 NIV)

When king Solomon mentioned that everything is meaningless, it is noteworthy that what gives the life meaning. If there is no Christ, the world is the one that brought meaning to life , the ideas are to survive and try to live a better life in the eyes of  people and the world. But this is so temporary and easy to change, no real and eternal meaning. When Christ came, since he is the only life and the life -giver, then all parts of my life are attached values through Christ , because we  in him, he in us. We are living in this world with full meaning , and also regard the things of this world as temporary importance, for we also hope another world coming.
