从无限到新生——约翰一书中的永恒之爱

日期:2025年4月17日

祷告异象:从♾️到8的生命

昨晚祷告会中,当我们不断挖属灵的井,深切呼求主的同在与启示,我心中浮现出一个画面:一个活泼跳动的“8”。

我灵里领悟——这是来自“♾️”(无限)的“8”。这不是一个普通的数字,而是神在祷告中向我们显明的属灵旅程:从无限的神性,到我们重生的开始;从永恒之爱,走进复活之路。

经文亮光:约翰一书的“无限”与“新生”

  1. 永恒之初的相交——“∞”

“论到从起初原有的生命之道,就是我们所听见、所看见、亲眼看过、亲手摸过的。(这生命已经显现出来,我们也看见过,现在又作见证,将原与父同在、且显现与我们那永远的生命传给你们。)我们将所看见、所听见的传给你们,使你们与我们相交。我们乃是与父并他儿子耶稣基督相交的。”
——约翰一书 1:1-3

这段经文开启全书,如同“∞”的起点,宣告那位超越时间的神,愿意亲近我们、与我们相交。祂不是遥远的存在,而是道成肉身的爱,触摸得着,看见得见,住在我们中间。

这是约翰见证的福音:无限的神,进入有限的人类;永恒的道,成为可触摸的爱。

  1. 罪得洁净的新生——“8”

“我们若认自己的罪,神是信实的,是公义的,必要赦免我们的罪,洗净我们一切的不义。”
——约翰一书 1:9

“8”象征新起点、重生、复活。在旧约中,第八日是行割礼的日子;在新约中,主耶稣在七日“安息日”后复活,为我们开启了“第八日”的生命。这第八日也称为主日。

认罪不是回到原点,而是进入神为我们预备的更新——一个从死里复活的新我,一个洁净重生的起点。

我们不再活在“无限的控告与定罪”中,而是活在神无限恩典与接纳的光中。

  1. 爱中循环的生命——“∞ ↔ 8”

“神就是爱。住在爱里面的,就是住在神里面,神也住在他里面。”
——约翰一书 4:16

这是一个爱的循环,永不止息,如同“∞”的符号,象征着永恒的相连与不间断的关系。

但这爱并不只是概念,它要成为我们生命中的“8”——让我们每日活出悔改、更新、得胜、相爱的生命节奏。

从无限的爱中诞生,进入真实的新生,在新生中继续运行于神永恒的爱中。

结语:从永恒的神,诞生永远的你

“从无限到新生”,不是一套数学逻辑,而是一场灵魂的更新之旅——从遇见那位永恒之主,到在祂的爱中重塑,重新开始。

你不是黑暗中无助的漂流者,你是被永恒之爱拥抱、唤醒、重生的儿女。

今天,你是否愿意从祂的“♾️”中,走进属于你的“8”?那是一口为你预备的活泉之井,正从深处涌上来。

From Infinity to New Birth—The Eternal Love in 1 John

Date: April 17, 2025

Prayer Vision: From ♾️ to 8—A Journey of Life

Last night, during our prayer meeting, as we persistently dug spiritual wells and earnestly sought the Lord’s presence and revelation, a vivid image appeared in my heart: a lively, pulsating number “8”.

In my spirit, I realized—this “8” emerged from the symbol “♾️” (infinity). This is not merely a number; it is a spiritual journey revealed by God in prayer: from the infinite nature of God to the beginning of our rebirth; from eternal love to the path of resurrection.

Scriptural Insights: Infinity and New Birth in 1 John

  1. Fellowship from the Beginning—“∞”

“That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon and have touched with our hands, concerning the word of life— the life was made manifest, and we have seen it, and testify to it and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was made manifest to us—that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.”
—1 John 1:1–3 (ESV)

This passage opens the epistle, serving as the starting point of “∞”, declaring that the God who transcends time desires to draw near and have fellowship with us. He is not a distant entity but love incarnate, tangible and visible, dwelling among us.

This is the gospel that John testifies: the infinite God entering finite humanity; the eternal Word becoming love that can be touched.

  1. Cleansing from Sin and New Birth—“8”

“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
—1 John 1:9 (ESV)

The number “8” symbolizes a new beginning, rebirth, and resurrection. In the Old Testament, the eighth day was the day of circumcision; in the New Testament, Jesus rose after the seventh day, inaugurating the life of the “eighth day”, also known as the Lord’s Day.

Confession is not returning to the starting point but entering into the renewal God has prepared for us—a new self resurrected from death, a clean and reborn beginning.

We no longer live under “infinite accusations and condemnation” but in the light of God’s infinite grace and acceptance.

  1. A Life of Love’s Continuous Cycle—“∞ ↔ 8”

“So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.”
—1 John 4:16 (ESV)

This is a cycle of love, unending, like the symbol “∞”, representing eternal connection and uninterrupted relationship.

But this love is not just a concept; it is meant to become the “8” in our lives—prompting us to live daily in repentance, renewal, victory, and love.

Born from infinite love, we enter into true new birth, and in this new life, we continue to operate within God’s eternal love.

Conclusion: From the Eternal God, You Are Born for Eternity

“From infinity to new birth” is not a mathematical concept but a journey of soul renewal—from encountering the eternal Lord to being reshaped and starting anew in His love.

You are not a helpless drifter in darkness; you are a child embraced, awakened, and reborn by eternal love.

Today, are you willing to step from His “♾️” into your own “8”? That is a well of living water prepared for you, now springing up from the depths.
