Tim Keller: 本讲座探讨了以弗所书6:10-20中提到的属灵盔甲，特别是真理的腰带和公义的护心镜。他指出，成为基督徒的瞬间，我们便获得了属天的资源，但穿上属灵盔甲是一个循序渐进的过程。真理的腰带并非指外在的道德行为，而是指将上帝的话语内化于生活，以此来坚定内心，抵御外界的诱惑和试探。这需要基督徒成为思想者，运用上帝的真理来思考生活中的各个方面，而非仅仅停留在表面信仰。 公义的护心镜并非指个人的道德正直，因为个人的公义不足以抵御撒旦的控告。撒旦会利用人的良心来攻击人，让人感到自责和失败。真正的保护来自上帝通过对耶稣基督的信仰而赐予的公义。基督的公义是上帝通过耶稣基督的完美生活和牺牲而赐予的，这是一种被算为己有的公义。这意味着上帝视基督徒为完美无瑕的，即使他们犯了罪。穿上公义的护心镜意味着依靠基督的公义，而非个人的行为来面对失望和自责。当面临撒旦的控告时，基督徒应该依靠基督的公义来回应，而不是依靠自己的道德和行为。 Tim Keller: 本讲座的核心观点是，基督徒在属灵争战中需要穿上上帝的盔甲，而真理的腰带和公义的护心镜是其中最重要的两件。真理的腰带代表着将上帝的真理内化于心，并以此来指导自己的生活，而不是仅仅停留在知识层面。这需要基督徒不断思考，运用上帝的真理来解决生活中的问题，并抵御来自撒旦的攻击。公义的护心镜则代表着基督徒的公义并非来自自身的努力，而是来自上帝通过耶稣基督的救赎而赐予的。基督的完美生活和牺牲满足了上帝对人类的要求，因此基督徒可以通过信仰获得上帝的接纳和赦免。当面临撒旦的控告和内心的自责时，基督徒应该依靠基督的公义，而不是自身的道德行为来寻求安慰和力量。

Chapters
The belt of truth is essential for Christians as it involves using the truths of the Word of God in their lives, focusing their minds on these truths, and not just knowing them but applying them practically.

Shownotes Transcript

When you become a Christian, there’s a sense in which you receive all of the blessings and all of the privileges and power and benefits instantly. But there’s another sense in which you don’t. 

You’ve received the armor when you became a Christian, but then the process of growing in grace is actually a process of sticking each piece on, piece by piece.

We’re continuing our look at the armor of God by looking at 1) what it means to put on the belt of truth, and then, 2) what it means to understand the breastplate of righteousness.

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on February 2, 1992. Series: Spiritual Warfare – The Armor of God. Scripture: Ephesians 6:10-20.
