对今日诗句的想法
约翰试图阻止那些他所爱的人犯罪,哪怕只是一宗罪。他的担心是出于他知道撒但会利用任何一宗罪来打击甚至击垮我们。我们必须知道我们有一位救主和辩护者。他为我们付了赎价;他差派圣灵来帮助我们战胜罪的权柄;他会为我们向天父代求并且饶恕我们的罪。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
John wants to prevent even one sinful event in the lives of those he loves and those who seek to honor Jesus. He is concerned because he knows that even one sinful event can be used by Satan to discourage and defeat us and hurt those we influence. We need to know that we have a Savior and a defender. This Savior, this Defender, paid the price to redeem us. He sent his Spirit to help us overcome sin's power. He is our intercessor who will speak to the Father and claim that right to forgive us and make us holy and make us his!
我的祷告
慈爱的天父啊,每当我因软弱而犯罪时,都深感羞愧。然而即使在那样的羞愧之中,我仍感谢主赐给了我重回你至圣所的道路。主耶稣,感谢你来拯救我、保护我。我决不允许撒旦在我跌倒时令我沮丧,而是要将自己完全交托给你,为你的荣耀而活,活出你的品格。奉主耶稣基督圣名祈求,阿们。
My Prayer...
Father, I'm embarrassed by my weakness and vulnerability to sin. Even in those moments of shame, I'm thankful that Jesus provided me the way back into your holy presence. Jesus, I thank you for coming to my rescue and my defense. I will not let Satan discourage me when I trip, stumble, and fall. Instead, I re-commit myself to live with your character and for your glory. In your name, Lord Jesus, my righteous defender, I pray. Amen.
