基督徒社会责任（旧文整理 02） / Christian Social Responsibility (Archive 02)
2026-04-04这节经文清楚地告诉我们，基督徒最终的国籍是在天上。
This verse clearly tells us that the Christian’s final citizenship is in heaven.
我们的救主不是总统、君王、政党或者政府。
Our Savior is not a president, king, political party, or government.
我们的救主是耶稣基督。
Our Savior is Jesus Christ.
我们的盼望也不建立在某一个国家永远强大之上。
Our hope is not built on one nation remaining powerful forever.
我们的盼望建立在基督永恒的国度之上。
Our hope is built on the eternal kingdom of Christ.
因此，基督徒不能把美国、欧洲、中国或者任何国家等同于神的国。
Therefore, Christians must not identify America, Europe, China, or any other nation with the kingdom of God.
美国不是新以色列。
America is not the new Israel.
美国宪法也不是圣经。
The United States Constitution is not the Bible.
美国的建国者也不是先知和使徒。
The American Founders were not prophets or apostles.
每一个国家、每一种制度和每一位领袖，都必须接受神话语的审判。
Every nation, every political system, and every leader must be judged by the Word of God.
但是，“我们的国籍在天上”并不等于“我们在地上没有责任”。
However, “our citizenship is in heaven” does not mean “we have no responsibility on earth.”
恰恰相反，正因为我们属于基督，我们才应当在地上更加忠心。
On the contrary, because we belong to Christ, we should be more faithful on earth.
二、耶稣没有求父把我们从世界中带走
II. Jesus Did Not Ask the Father to Take Us Out of the World
《约翰福音》十七章十四至十八节说：
John 17:14–18 says:
“我已将你的道赐给他们。世界又恨他们；因为他们不属世界，正如我不属世界一样。”
“I have given them your word. The world has hated them, because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.”
“我不求你叫他们离开世界，只求你保守他们脱离那恶者。”
“My prayer is not that you take them out of the world, but that you protect them from the evil one.”
“他们不属世界，正如我不属世界一样。”
“They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.”
“求你用真理使他们成圣；你的道就是真理。”
“Make them holy by the truth; your word is truth.”
“你怎样差我到世上，我也照样差他们到世上。”
“As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world.”
耶稣没有祷告说：“父啊，求你立刻把所有门徒从世界中带走。”
Jesus did not pray, “Father, please take all the disciples out of the world immediately.”
耶稣所祷告的是，父要保守他们脱离那恶者。
Jesus prayed that the Father would protect them from the evil one.
基督徒不属于这个世界的罪恶体系。
Christians do not belong to the sinful system of this world.
但是，基督徒仍然被主差遣进入这个世界。
But Christians are still sent by the Lord into this world.
我们不是被差遣来模仿世界。
We are not sent to imitate the world.
我们也不是被差遣来向世界妥协。
We are not sent to compromise with the world.
我们更不是被差遣来躲避世界。
We are certainly not sent to hide from the world.
我们被差遣进入世界，是要见证真理。
We are sent into the world to bear witness to the truth.
我们被差遣进入世界，是要爱我们的邻舍。
We are sent into the world to love our neighbors.
我们被差遣进入世界，是要在黑暗中作光。
We are sent into the world to be light in the darkness.
