对今日诗句的想法
我们无法自我更新。我们能够避开道德败坏的影响,我们能够将自己献给神,更好地明白神的旨意(罗马书12:1-2)。然而最终必须由神亲自使我们更新,不仅是在我们得救赎的那一刻,更是在每一天更新我们。只有神的恩典才能够坚固我们、赐予我们力量并使我们更新。让我们将自己献给神,也让我们充满信心地来到神的面前祈求神的恩典,赐予我们力量、更新我们、使我们得以完全!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
We cannot renew ourselves on our own. We can guard ourselves against corrupting influences. We can offer ourselves to God and come to discern his will more fully (Romans 12:1-2). Ultimately, however, God himself must do the renewing, not just when we are saved, but daily. Only God's grace can sustain, empower, and renew us. Let's offer ourselves to him. Then, let's confidently ask for his grace to empower, perfect, and renew us!
