From “Bourne Identity” to “Born Identity” by Joshua Law
從 “伯恩Bourne身份” 到 “天生Born身份” 羅天樂著
Christmas is a holiday to celebrate the birth of Christ Jesus. The task of Jesus’ birth is to save the world, to invite the world to accept the salvation of God, so that the Spirit of God could be born in the heart of the believers.
聖誕節是慶祝基督耶穌降生的節日，督耶穌降生的任務就是拯救世人，邀請世人接納神的救恩，讓神的靈住(born)在人心。
One of my favorite movies is “Bourne Identity”. This is the first of four film collections in which the identity of a soldier named David Webb was permanently cancelled and reprogrammed by a corrupt government department with super technology, rewriting his identity and becoming “Bourne Identity.” Named Jason Bourne, he was trained, appointed as a professional assassin, used to usurp legislative powers in order to change society.
我最喜歡的電影之一是“伯恩身份”(Bourne Identity)。 這是四部電影集的第一部，其中，一個軍人，名叫大衛•韋伯（David Webb）被腐敗的政府部門用超級科技永久性地取消，改寫他的身份，成為伯恩身份(Bourne Identity) 命名傑森•伯恩(Jason Bourne)，訓練，任命他成為一名職業刺客，使用他去篡奪立法權，來改變社會。
After a failed assassination attempt, he was accidentally released from that programmed “Bourne identity.” After that, he had to rediscover his true “born identity.” It was a very difficult process.
在一次失敗的暗殺企圖之後，他被意外地從編程的虛假”伯恩”身份中被解救出來。之後，他必須再次重新發現他自己的真實天生”Born”身份。 這是一個非常艱難的過程。
In this world, we were created by God in His image, possessing the holiness and identity of God, having Godly identities, and living like God in the world. Unfortunately, like our ancestors, we have chosen to commit errors and sin, rewriting our identities, and deviated from the holy image, divine purpose, and character given by God. And thus, alienated from God.
在這個世界上，我們是上帝跟據祂的形像創造的，擁有天生Born身份，具有上帝的聖潔和特性，有屬神的身份(Godly identity)，在世上活像上帝。可惜如祖先一樣，我們卻揀選去犯了過失，改寫身份，背離了上帝賜給的聖潔形象，神聖宗旨和特性，與神隔絕。
This false, rewritten, and prone-to-sin identity takes us into a life of confusion, uncertainty, conflict, and drifting.
這個假的，改寫過的，錯誤的和犯罪的身份帶我們進入了目標混淆，充滿不確定性，衝突的，漂流的人生旅程。
In some countries, governments use their political powers to control, form, reconstruct, rewrite our identities, and turn us into slaves and controllable instruments. They use the media and the education system to shape our identity, but this shaped and rewritten identity cannot enrich us. It gives us a false identity and an empty soul. This soul, unless we repent, return to the embrace of God, and be united with God, is never satisfied.
在某些國家。政府利用他們的政治權力來控制，形成，再造，改寫我們的身份，把我們變成它的奴隸，可受控制的工具。他們利用媒體和教育系統來塑造我們，但這個被塑造改寫的身份不能充實我們，它給了我們錯誤的身份和空虛的心靈，這心靈，除非我們悔改，歸回上帝的懷抱，與上帝同心，是永遠無法滿足的。
However, in our world history, a man was sent from the Creator God, his mission was to save us from the power of guilt and the shadow of sin. The identity and responsibilities of His God-Man were completely clear to Him. He knew why He was born, His purpose in the world was so confirmed and powerful, that even facing countless reasons to give up His purpose, and he had all the powers to deviate and rewrite the identity and purpose of His life, He did not depart from it; even accepting the cruelest death, he did not deviate, so that He could do everything well for the purpose of saving the world, completed the task, and achieved a successful result, that was, to save humanity from the power of sin.
然而，在我們的世界歷史中，有一個人是從造物主上帝那裡派來的，他的任務就是把我們從罪疚和罪的陰影權勢下拯救出來。祂神人的身份和責任都全然清楚，他知道他為什麼出生，他在世的目的如是此堅定而有力，甚至面對無數理由，擁有一切能力去偏離，改寫他人生的身份，目的，但他卻不遍離；甚至接受最殘酷的死亡，他也不偏離，因此，他能夠為拯救世人目的，不差不錯的做了一切，完成任務，取得了圓滿結果，就是把人類從罪惡的權勢下拯救出來。
This man of God was Jesus Christ. And He resurrected from death and is now sited at the right hand of God on our behalf, loved by God.
這個神人就是耶穌基督。他從死亡中復活，現在代表我們坐在上帝的右邊，得神喜悅。
Unfortunately, each of us, like our ancestors, has allowed and accepted the programmed false identity, willfully commits wrongdoing, and inherits and passes on our guilty and sinful identity to future generations. The result is death, suffering and conflict. Because of the death of the sinless God/man Jesus Christ, we are redeemed, and rescued from sin-guilt, we can be freed from the mindset of this world, to rewrite our identities, be rescued from the false identity programmed into us, we can begin to turn back, separate from family traditions, society, having our identity rewritten by politics and education, to be gradually changed by closely following Jesus Christ, mind, body and soul, attitudes, feelings, and behaviors (born again, gaining a spiritual identity), stepping on the way to living like Christ Jesus, enjoy the grace of being born again.
很不幸地，我們各人，都跟從始祖一樣，容許，接受了編程的虛假身份，志願地犯了罪惡過錯，並承接，傳遞了有罪過，罪疚的身份（sinful identity) 給後代，結果就是人間的死亡病患痛苦衝突。因神人無罪的耶穌基督代死，贖回，免除罪疚，我們就能脫離這世界的心術，從編程的虛假身份中被解救出來，讓神重新改寫身份，就能開始回轉，脫離家族傳統，社會，政治，教育所改寫的身份，又再因緊緊跟隨耶穌基督，身心靈，思想，態度，感情，行為逐漸被改造(重生，得救，born again，得到屬靈的身份acquiring a Spiritual identity)，踏上活像基督耶穌的路途上，享受重生再造(born again)之恩。
That is to say: you can, like us, establish a spirit and soul relationship with the God-Man Jesus Christ, be rescued from your programmed false identity, and be one with the identity of God-Man Jesus, to realize this kind of true and powerful identity and purpose in life. You can overcome the world with God-man Jesus Christ! What a glory it really is!
這就是說：你可跟我們一般，與神人耶穌基督建立一個靈魂的關係，從編程的虛假身份中被祂解救出來，與神人耶穌的身份認同為一，我們就可以實現這種真實而有力量的身份和生活目的。你可以與神人耶穌基督一同得勝世界！這真的是何等榮耀！
