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...
Remember, our verse today comes from Paul's challenge to put off our old way of life (Ephesians 4:22-24). As we put off the corruption and deceitful desires of our former way of life before Jesus, we now offer ourselves to God to be renewed. But we cannot renew ourselves on our own. We can guard ourselves against corrupting influences, but only God can renew us and enable us to discern his will more fully (Romans 12:1-2). God promises to do the work of renewal in us! Jesus didn't just come to save us from sin, death, and hell; he also came to redeem us for his purposes and his work as his living piece of artistry (Ephesians 2:1-10). God sustains, empowers, and renews us as the Holy Spirit transforms us in this renewal. So, let's offer ourselves first to God and then to others as servants of the Lord Jesus (2 Corinthians 4:5). Then, we confidently ask for the Holy Spirit to make us new inside and out!
