儿子的身份被肯定A Son is affirmed（路加Luke 3：21-38）
1． 父神亲自肯定耶稣的神子身份。
God affirmed the identity of His Son Jesus.
路Luke 3：22
圣灵降在祂身上，乃是一个记号，显明耶稣正是神的爱子。
The Holy Spirit descends as a sign of God Himself, affirming Jesus is His beloved son.
父神向人们显明祂的爱子，圣灵同时也加给祂能力完成父神要祂来这世上所做的工。
God reveals His Son to the world, in addition with the power of the Holy Spirit to finish the work of God on earth.
天父向耶稣肯定对祂的喜悦，承认祂的所是和所作深蒙悦纳。
God’s delightful affirmation to His Son, deeply pleased to acknowledge all that He did.
2． 耶稣的家谱肯定祂的人子身份。
The genealogy of Jesus proved He is the Son of man.
路Luke 3：23-38
依人看来祂是约瑟的儿子，实在的是马利亚的儿子。
To man, He was the Son of Joseph, in actual, He was the woman’s offspring.
这‘女人的后裔’也是‘大卫的子孙’在神的计划中是最重要的，是对付撒但的主力。
The offspring of woman, Son of David, is the most important character of God’s redemption plan. It is the main force against Satan.
耶稣成了人，亚当所没有作到的，祂都作成功了，真实的使人成为神的荣耀，显出神的形像，也使人成为神的儿子。
Jesus became man and did what Adam did not do. Man becomes the glory of God, reveals God’s image.
3． 藉着神的话肯定我们成为神儿女的身份。
God’s word affirms our identity as sons of God.
因信耶稣基督我们得了作神儿女的权柄。 (约 1：12-13)
Through believing in Jesus, we have the right to be sons of God. (John 1:12-13)
圣灵与我们同证我们是神的儿女，因此我们能呼叫阿爸，父。 (罗 8：14-17)
The Holy Spirit bears witness with our spirit, we can call God, Abba, Father. (Rom 8:14-17)
被肯定使我们信心更稳固，意志更坚定向着标干直跑，虽遇阻碍也勇敢排除万难，笃信必会达至终点。
Being affirmed strengthen our faith, more determined will to run the race, courageously overcoming obstacles, reaching the goal is assured.
