前言：
你的生命，誰說了算？
——羅馬書 8:1–8
人生每天都在做選擇。
今天吃什麼、做什麼工作、愛什麼人、走哪一條路……我們以為自己只是做了一個決定，其實，每一個決定的背後，都反映出一個更深的問題：
到底是誰在掌管你的生命？
保羅在羅馬書八章一至八節，帶領我們看見生命真正的主權。
一、在基督裡，不再被定罪（1–4節）
「如今，那些在基督耶穌裡的，就不定罪了。」
這是福音最美的宣告。
律法讓人知道什麼是罪，卻沒有能力使人勝過罪。我們知道該做好，卻常常做不到；知道不該做，卻仍然跌倒。
然而，耶穌基督來了。
祂不只是替我們承擔罪的刑罰，使我們因信稱義；祂更藉著十字架和復活，賜下新的生命，使我們有能力脫離罪的轄制。
神的救恩，不只是改變我們永恆的結局，更是改變我們今天的生活。
二、兩種生命，兩種結果（5–8節）
保羅提到兩種不同的生命方向。
一種是體貼肉體。
就是凡事由自己作主，以自己的想法、慾望和情緒作為人生的最高標準。看似自由，最後卻離神越來越遠，也失去了真正的平安。
另一種是體貼聖靈。
不是沒有自己的想法，而是願意把生命的主權交給神，讓聖靈帶領我們。這樣的人，與神建立親密的關係，也在祂裡面得著生命與平安。
人生最大的分別，不是在於擁有多少，而是在於誰在引導你的生命。
三、生命方向的選擇——誰是你的導航？
今天的人開車，大多依靠導航。
因為我們知道，不熟悉的路容易走錯；即使熟悉，也可能遇到封路、塞車或危險。
可是，人生這條路，我們卻常常拒絕讓神來導航。
我們總認為自己的方法比較好。
我們相信自己的經驗、感覺和判斷，以為自己知道哪一條路最適合自己。
然而，回頭看看人生，有多少錯誤的決定，都是因為太相信自己，而忽略了神的提醒？
我們之所以常做錯決定，不是因為神沒有指引，而是因為我們沒有停下來聽祂的聲音。
神從來不是要限制我們，而是要帶領我們走向真正的生命。
結語
人生真正的問題，不是能力夠不夠，也不是機會多不多。
真正的問題是：
你的生命，到底誰說了算？
如果一直由自己掌權，就只能走自己有限的道路。
如果願意讓耶穌基督作生命的主，順服聖靈的帶領，就能走進神早已預備的生命與平安。
今天，神仍然在呼喚我們。
祂願意帶領你的生命。
問題不是祂願不願意，而是——
你願意，把生命的主權交給祂嗎？
Foreword:
Who has the final say in your life?
——Romans 8:1–8
Make choices every day in life.
What to eat today, what to do, who to love, which road to go... We think we just made a decision. In fact, behind each decision, there is a deeper problem:
Who on earth is in charge of your life?
Paul leads us to see the true sovereignty of life in Romans 8:1 to 8.
I. In Christ, no longer condemned (verses 1–4)
"Now, those who are in Christ Jesus are not condemned."
This is the most beautiful statement of the gospel.
The law makes people know what sin is, but it has no ability to overcome it. We know we should do it well, but we often can't do it; we know we shouldn't do it, but we still fall.
However, Jesus Christ came.
He not only bears the punishment of sin for us and makes us justified by faith; He also gives us new life through the cross and resurrection, so that we can escape from the jurisdiction of sin.
God's salvation not only changes our eternal end, but also changes our lives today.
II. Two kinds of life, two results (verses 5–8)
Paul mentioned two different directions of life.
One is considerate of the body.
That is, you are the master of everything, and take your own thoughts, desires and emotions as the highest standard of life. It seems to be free, but in the end, it is getting further and further away from God, and it has lost its true peace.
The other is considerate of the Holy Spirit.
It's not that I don't have my own ideas, but I'm willing to give the sovereignty of life to God and let the Holy Spirit lead us. Such people who establish a close relationship with God also have life and peace in Him.
The biggest difference in life is not how much you have, but who is guiding your life.
III. The choice of the direction of life - who is your navigation?
Today's people mostly rely on navigation to drive.
Because we know that unfamiliar roads are easy to make mistakes; even if you are familiar with them, you may encounter road closures, traffic jams or dangers.
However, we often refuse to let God navigate the road of life.
We always think our own method is better.
We believe in our own experience, feelings and judgements, and think that we know which road is best for us.
However, looking back on life, how many wrong decisions are made because they believe in themselves too much and ignore God's reminder?
The reason why we often make wrong decisions is not because God has no guidance, but because we don't stop to listen to His voice.
God never wants to limit us, but leads us to true life.
Conclusion
The real problem in life is not whether you have enough ability or not how many opportunities you have.
The real problem is:
Who has the final say in your life?
If you are always in power by yourself, you can only follow your own limited path.
If you are willing to let Jesus Christ be the Lord of life and obey the guidance of the Holy Spirit, you can walk into the life and peace that God has already prepared.
Today, God is still calling us.
He is willing to lead your life.
he question is not whether he is willing or not, but--
Are you willing to give him the sovereignty of life?
