5约一3 万物是借着祂成的；凡已成的，没有一样不是借着祂成的。
5John 1:3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him not one thing came into being which has come into being.
6罗一20 自从创造世界以来，神那看不见永远的大能，和神性的特征，是人所洞见的，乃是借着受造之物，给人晓得的，叫人无法推诿。
6Rom. 1:20 For the invisible things of Him, both His eternal power and divine characteristics, have been clearly seen since the creation of the world, being perceived by the things made, so that they would be without excuse.
7在〔神〕创造的事上，“诸天述说神的荣耀，穹苍传扬祂手的作为”（诗十九1）。并且“自从创造世界以来，神那看不见永远的大能，和神性的特征，是人所洞见的”（罗一20）（李常受文集一九九四至一九九七年第四册，四二六页）。
7In [God’s] creation “the heavens declare the glory of God, /And the expanse [firmament] proclaims the work of His hands…” (Psa. 19:1), and the invisible things of God, “both His eternal power and divine characteristics, have been clearly seen since the creation of the world” (Rom. 1:20). (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 4, “Crystallization-study of the Gospel of John, p. 338)
8人借着观察神所造看得见之物，就可以晓得看不见的属神之事。神永远的大能，以及彰显祂内在性情的神性特征，都显明在祂的创造里。就如宇宙中满了光，表明光是一种神性的特征，一种神性的神圣属性（雅一17）。美丽与生命也是这样（圣经恢复本，罗一20注2）。
8Man can perceive the invisible things of God by observing the visible things created by Him. Both the eternal power of God and the divine characteristics that express God’s intrinsic nature are manifested in God’s creation. For example, the abundance of light in the universe shows that light is a divine characteristic, a divine attribute of the divine nature (James 1:17). The same is true of beauty and life. (Rom. 1:20, footnote 2)

9〔按照罗马一章二十节，〕天地万物是有神的证据。……神所造的天地，和祂所造的万物，为祂作见证。这些叫我们晓得神；这些叫那些不承认神的人，无可推诿。神自己虽是我们眼不能见的，但借着祂所造的万物，我们就可以晓得祂。我们眼所能见的万物，对我们说出我们眼所不能见的神。受造之物的存在，无声地告诉我们，有一位创造它们的神。……〔诗篇十九篇一至三节指明，〕天地万物昼夜不息地对我们说出神的存在。这些无声的言语，所说的是真实可靠的事实，……是我们所能看见的。……它们告诉我们，有一位创造它们的神。
9According to Romans 1:20, all things in heaven and on earth are proof of God’s existence…The heavens and the earth that God created, as well as all the things that He made, testify concerning Him. All these things cause people to know God and give no excuse to those who do not acknowledge God’s existence. Although God is invisible, we can know Him through the things He created. In other words, the visible creation speaks concerning the invisible God. The fact that the created things exist silently speaks that there is a God who created them. Psalm 19:1-3 [indicates that]…the things in heaven and on earth speak unceasingly concerning the existence of God; their speaking, while silent, conveys true and reliable facts that can be seen. They tell us that there is a creating God.
10你所住的房子，告诉你有盖造它的工匠；你所用的桌椅，告诉你有造作它们的木匠；照样，你所顶的天，和你所踏的地，也告诉你有创造它们的神。就是你所看见的一株花草，一粒沙石，也都告诉你有创造它们的神。……若有人看见受造之物，而不相信有造物的神，这人是何等的反理性，也是何等的愚顽。“愚顽人心里说，没有神。”（十四1）
10The house that we live in speaks of a bricklayer who built it; the table and chair that we use speak of a carpenter who made them. Likewise, the heavens above and the earth beneath our feet speak of a God who created them. Even a grain of sand, a flower, or a plant speaks of a creating God… It is irrational and foolish for anyone who sees the things of creation to not believe that there is a Creator. Thus, Psalm 14:1 says, “The fool has said in his heart, / There is no God.”
11〔按照行传十四章十五和十七节，〕神为自己所显出的证据，……“就如常施恩惠，从天降雨，赏赐丰年。”〔17中〕天所降的雨，地所长的谷，都告诉我们有施恩降雨，赏赐丰年的神。我们所喝的，和我们所吃的，都告诉我们有赐给这一切的神。
11According to Acts 14:15 and 17, the witness that God left for Himself is “that He did good by giving…rain from heaven and fruitful seasons.” In other words, the rain from heaven and the grain from the earth both speak of the existence of a God who does good by giving us rain and fruitful seasons. What we eat and drink speak of a God who gives us these things.
12稼穑、寒暑、冬夏、昼夜，都证明神的存在。……宇宙的定律会这样准确，万物的秩序会这样不乱，都证明给我们看，有一位超然的神在那里存在着，掌管这一切。一艘轮船所以能按水道而行，是因为有掌舵的人；一部机器所以能按时工作，是因为有管理的人。照样，宇宙这部大机器，所以能按定律而行，按定时而转，是因为有掌管它的神。
12Sowing and reaping, cold and heat, winter and summer, and day and night all prove that God exists…The fact that the laws in the universe are precise and that all things are well organized and in proper order proves the existence of a transcendent God who rules over everything. A steamship can travel along a waterway because it has a captain steering it; a machine can operate on schedule because it has an operator running it. In the same way, a “machine” as large as the universe can operate according to laws and run on schedule only because there is a God who rules over it.
13“祂从一本造出万族的人，住在全地面上，并且预先定准他们的时期，和居住的疆界，要叫他们寻求神，或者可以揣摩而得。”（十七26~27）不只天地万物和它们的存在，证明有神；就是我们人，就是我们自己，也是有神的证据。因为我们人是神所创造的。“祂从一本造出万族的人。”（李常受文集一九三二至一九四九年第一册，八六至八八页）
13Acts 17:26-27 says that God “made from one every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, determining beforehand their appointed seasons and the boundaries of their dwelling, that they might seek God, if perhaps they might grope for Him and find Him.” Not only the things in heaven and on earth but also we humans are proof of God’s existence, because human beings are created by God; that is, God “made from one every nation of men.” (CWWL, 1932-1949, vol. 1, pp. 71-73)

今日要点
15主题：基督作为神的话，借着创造为神说话
15
16引经：约一3，罗一20
16
171.基督作为神的话，借着创造为神说话：
17
18A.在约一3说，『万有是借着祂成的』，首先，我们看见基督作为神的话，借着创造为神说话，解释、说明并彰显那看不见的神；从许多旧约与新约的经文可见，基督的创造为神说话，例如诗十九1~2『诸天述说神的荣耀，穹苍传扬祂手的作为。这日到那日发出言语；这夜到那夜传出知识』。
18
19B.另外，罗一20也说，『自从创造世界以来，神那看不见永远的大能，和神性的特征，是人所洞见的，乃是借着受造之物，给人晓得的，叫人无法推诿』，神造的天地万物，都为祂作见证，这些叫我们晓得神，并叫不识神之人，无可推诿，虽然我们眼睛等五官无法感知，但借着祂的创造，就可以晓得祂。
19
202.一切受造之物，都为神说话：
20
21A.无神论者哈雷发现牛顿家中一个精美的太阳系天体模型，非常精准美妙，就问说，这是谁造的？牛顿开玩笑说，没人设计制造，不过是材料凑巧碰在一起所形成的，哈雷说，不可能，必定有人创造它，牛顿就说，既然这个模型必定有人制造，那这个宇宙，岂不是神创造的？
21
22B.因此，天地万物昼夜不息的对我们说出神的存在，只有愚顽人心里会说，没有神，所以宇宙的定律，万物的次序都证明有一位超然的神在那里存在，掌管这一切， 『祂从一本造出万族的人，住在全地面上，并且预先定准它们的时期，和居住的疆界，要叫他们寻求神，或者可以揣摩而得。 』
22
23应用：我们要经历诗歌12首所说，『当我观赏，父，你广大的创造，天空、地面、万有无数无边，形形色色，壮丽、奇观又微妙，大大小小说出你的无限；我心、我灵立即兴起赞美：你何希奇！你何伟大！赞美之声永世还要宏伟；你何希奇！你何伟大！ 』
