少儿英语圣经故事74：Sanctify圣洁

　　What does the word Christian mean?Did you say it means a believer in Gods Son, the Lord Jesus Christ?Thats right! But how can you TELL if someone IS a Christian?What are some things you would expect to see in that person to show he or she is a believer in JesusAre YOU a Christian?Can others tell by YOUR life?Gods Word says in Leviticus 20：7, Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy：for I am the LORD your God.

　　你认为基督徒这几个字是什么意思呢?相信神的儿子，我们的主耶稣基督。 对!但是你怎么知道一个人是不是基督徒呢?你从一个相信主耶稣的人身上能够看到哪些特点呢?那，你是一个基督徒吗?你过一个怎样的生活使别人知道你基督徒呢?神的话在利未记20：7节说：所以你们要洁净自己而成为圣洁，因为我是主你的神。

　　To sanctify means to set apart for holy use. To sanctify yourself means to separate yourself from sinful thoughts, words, actions, entertainment. It means that we separate ourselves from sinful friends and live a life pleasing to God. and be holy：for I am the LORD your God. God is 100% perfectly pure. He is perfect holiness. He calls us as His children to be holy in our lives. That is a lifelong goal, to become more and more like the Lord Jesus.

　　洁净就是分别出来成为圣洁。洁净自己就是使你从罪恶的思想，话语，行为，娱乐当中分别出来。就是我们离开罪恶的朋友，过一个讨神喜悦的生活。要成为圣洁，因为我是主你的神。神是100%的圣洁。他呼召我们做他的儿女，并过一个圣洁的生活。 能够越来越像主耶稣是我们一生的目标。

　　If you have already believed on Jesus, God wants you to live a holy life. Christian means little Christ. When other boys and girls, or grownups watch you, they should see the Lord Jesus in you by the way you live. How will you answer this question：DO the people around me know that I am a Christian?When you became Gods child, He made you a new person on the inside. But when people look at you from the outside, can they see you are different?

　　如果你已经接受耶稣做你的救主，神要你过一个圣洁的生活。基督徒就是小基督。当别的小朋友或大人看你的时候，他们从你的生活中应当看到你里面的耶稣基督。你怎么回答以下这个问题呢?我身边的人知道我是基督徒吗?当你成为神的孩子，神使你的里面成为一个新人。但是当人们从外面看你的时候，他们能看出你的不同吗?

　　Can they see the goodness, the holiness of the Lord Jesus shining through you?Perhaps you still use bad words like you did before you were saved. Maybe you still treat people unkindly, or you cheat on games, or lie just like you have always done. Maybe it seems like nothing has changed, because you are not even trying to live a life that reflects the Lord Jesus, Who is loving, kind, and truthful.

　　他们能看到耶稣基督的良善跟圣洁从你的身上发出来吗?也许你仍然象你未得救之前那样讲脏话。也许你仍然对别人不友善，或者在玩游戏的时候做弊，或者像你从前一样说谎。 也许好象什么也没有改变，因为你并没有努力过一个像主耶稣那样慈爱，诚实的生活。

　　Ask God to give you godly friends who will help you stay close to the Lord Jesus. God wants to use you for a wonderful purpose, as you live a holy life. Confess any sin quickly to God and ask Him to help you stop it. As we read Gods Word daily, pray, and seek to obey Gods Word, we will become more and more like the Lord Jesus.

　　祈求神给你一个爱主的朋友，来帮助你更靠近主耶稣。当你过一个圣洁生活的时候，神要使用你，因为他在你身上有一个美好的旨意。向神承认你的罪，并请求他来帮助你不再犯罪。当我们每天读神的话，祷告，并遵行神的旨意，我们就会越来越像主耶稣。

　　If you have never asked the Lord Jesus to come into your life, will you go now to How to Be a Child of God?Without the Lord Jesus living in you, you can never be holy. You might do lots of good things, but on the inside God will still see you as unclean until you ask the Lord Jesus to come in and forgive, or cleanse, you from your sin. When He forgives that sin, its like taking a bath on the inside. Daily we need to confess sin to God so that we can keep our lives clean. That is what a holy life is all about. Lets say that important verse two more times together：Exodus 20：7 Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy：for I am the LORD your God.

　　And sing along with me!Sanctified, set apart,Ill serve Christ with all my heart!Since He came to live inside of me .Holy, pure my life should be!

　　如果你还没有接受主耶稣进入你的生命，你现在就去听怎样成为神的孩子。如果主耶稣不住在你的里面，你就不可能成为圣洁。你可以做很多好事，但是如果你没有让耶稣进到你的里面，原谅并洁净你的罪，神仍然看你是不洁净的。当耶稣原谅你的罪，就好像你的里面洗了一个澡。我们每一天都需要向神承认我们的罪，使我们的里面洁净。这就是过圣洁的生活。让我们再说一遍今天的圣经经节，并记住它：利未记20章7节说：所以你们要洁净自己而成为圣洁，因为我是主你的神。
