none of us

My Sunday Scripture 2011.9.11

----------------------------
The Text:
----------------------------


---------------------
Reading 2, Rom 14:7-9
---------------------
7 For none of us lives for himself and none of us dies for himself;

8 while we are alive, we are living for the Lord, and when we die, we die for the Lord: and so, alive or dead, we belong to the Lord.

9 It was for this purpose that Christ both died and came to life again: so that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.

My Reading Notes:
-----------------------

Paul said: "For none of us lives for himself and none of us dies for himself";
Take note on the word: "None". He is searching the basic element of mankind.

Life itself is not life. You need to have a reborn, then you will know what is life. To reborn, is to know the real meaning of life, is to know life is not only flesh, but the fighting spirit inside. It is this spirit that lives, the body is helping the spirit to work. It is important to have the spirit enlightened---that we could say, is re-born.
