書摘：《有聖靈 Having the Spirit》
J.C. Ryle 萊爾 著
J.C. Ryle《有聖靈》的摘要
J.C. Ryle’s "Having the Spirit" is a classic evangelical treatise on the necessity, reality, and transformative power of the Holy Spirit in the life of every true Christian. Ryle argues that the indwelling of the Holy Spirit is the defining mark of genuine faith, the essential evidence of salvation, and the foundation for all true holiness and spiritual vitality. The work is structured around three main questions: the importance of having the Spirit, the principle by which one may know if they have the Spirit, and the specific effects the Spirit produces in believers.
萊爾（J.C. Ryle）的《有聖靈》是一部經典福音派論著，闡述聖靈在每位真正基督徒生命中不可或缺、真實且具改變力的地位。
萊爾認為，聖靈的內住是真信仰的標誌，是得救的根本證據，也是所有真正聖潔與屬靈生命的基礎。
本書圍繞三大主題展開：擁有聖靈的重要性、如何分辨自己是否有聖靈，以及聖靈在信徒身上所產生的具體果效。
萊爾在這篇文章中探討了對基督徒而言聖靈的重要性。他強調每一個信徒都需要領受並被聖靈充滿，這不僅是一種特權，更是屬靈生命成長的必要條件。
萊爾指出，聖靈的工作在信徒生命中是至關重要的。祂幫助信徒明白聖經、成聖、禱告，並賜予屬靈的能力。沒有聖靈的引導，基督徒很容易落入屬靈的軟弱和停滯中。
文章強調信徒應當持續追求聖靈的充滿，透過禱告、研讀聖經和順服神來邀請聖靈在生命中工作。萊爾提醒讀者，聖靈是神賜給信徒的寶貴恩賜，能夠改變生命、更新心靈。

I. 擁有聖靈的重要性極大
The Immense Importance of Having the Spirit
Ryle insists that "having the Spirit" is not a secondary or optional matter, but a question of eternal life or death. Without the Spirit, one has no part in Christ, no forgiveness, no hope of heaven, and no true Christianity. Ryle quotes Romans 8:9: "If anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him," and 1 John 3:24: "We know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us."
He further explains that the Holy Spirit is the mark, seal, and pledge of God’s people, distinguishing them from the world. The Spirit alone prepares souls for heaven by transforming their desires, affections, and character, making them fit for the presence of God.

萊爾強調，「有聖靈」不是次要或可有可無的問題，而是關乎永生或永死的重大議題。沒有聖靈的人，無分於基督，沒有赦罪、沒有進天國的盼望，也不是真正的基督徒。他引用羅馬書 Romans 8:9：「人若沒有基督的靈，就不是屬基督的。」以及約翰一書 1 John 3:24：「我們所以知道神住在我們裡面，是因祂所賜給我們的聖靈。」
他進一步說明，聖靈是神子民的印記、印鑑和憑據，使他們與世人有別。唯有聖靈能預備人的靈魂進入天堂，改變其心志、情感與品格，使其配得見神的面。

II. 辨別自己是否有聖靈的原則
The Principle for Knowing If One Has the Spirit
Ryle refutes the idea that it is impossible or presumptuous to know whether one has the Spirit. He affirms that the presence of the Spirit is always discernible by the effects He produces. "By their fruits you shall know them" (Matthew 7:20). The Spirit’s indwelling is not dormant or hidden, but manifests itself in a transformed life, new desires, and spiritual fruit.
He warns against two errors: assuming all baptized or churchgoing people have the Spirit, and claiming to have the Spirit without any evidence in one’s life. The true test is not ritual or profession, but the visible marks of the Spirit’s work.

萊爾駁斥「無法確知自己是否有聖靈」的觀點，堅稱聖靈的同在必定藉其所結的果子顯明出來。「憑著他們的果子就可以認出他們來」（馬太福音 Matthew 7:20）。聖靈的內住不是沉睡或隱藏的，而是透過生命的改變、新的渴望與屬靈的果子彰顯出來。
他警告兩種錯誤：一是認為所有受洗或參加教會的人都有聖靈；二是自稱有聖靈卻生命中毫無證據。真正的考驗不是儀式或口頭宣稱，而是聖靈工作所結的明顯果效。

III. 聖靈的十個記號
The Ten Marks of the Spirit
Ryle identifies ten distinguishing marks that always accompany the true presence of the Holy Spirit in a believer’s life:

IV. 聖靈在今日的影響
The Impact of the Holy Spirit Today
Ryle’s teaching on the Holy Spirit remains profoundly relevant. In a world where nominal Christianity abounds, his insistence that only those who are indwelt and transformed by the Spirit are truly Christ’s guards the faith against mere formalism and hypocrisy.
The Holy Spirit continues to be the agent of regeneration, sanctification, and empowerment for service. He convicts of sin, reveals Christ, produces spiritual fruit, and unites believers in love. The Spirit’s presence is the source of assurance, spiritual growth, and effective witness in the world.
Modern Christian movements, especially within evangelical and charismatic traditions, emphasize the necessity of the Spirit’s work for both personal holiness and the church’s mission. The Spirit enables prayer, worship, understanding of Scripture, and boldness in witness.

萊爾關於聖靈的教導至今極具現實意義。在名義基督徒充斥的世代，他強調唯有被聖靈內住並改變的人才是真基督徒，有效防範了信仰的形式主義與虛偽。
聖靈至今仍是重生、成聖與服事能力的施予者。祂使人知罪、啟示基督、結出屬靈果子，並在愛中聯合信徒。聖靈的同在帶來確據、屬靈成長與有效見證。
現代福音派與靈恩運動尤強調聖靈工作對個人聖潔與教會使命的必要性。聖靈使人能禱告、敬拜、明白聖經，並在見證中剛強無懼。

Practical Applications and Final Exhortations
Ryle concludes by urging all readers to examine themselves: Do you have the Spirit? He warns against mere outward religion and calls for a living, experiential faith marked by the Spirit’s fruit. For those who doubt, he encourages self-examination and prayer, reminding that the Holy Spirit is given to those who earnestly seek and trust in Christ. For those who possess the Spirit, he exhorts them to seek to be filled continually, to avoid grieving the Spirit, and to bear abundant fruit for God’s glory.
