对今日诗句的想法
在当时那个惧怕讲论罪、恶毒和邪恶真相的时代，施洗约翰的这些话听起来很奇怪。但每一个失丧的人都亟需悔改——改变自己的心和生命，寻求神，为主而活。是的，我们是因着神的浩瀚恩典而得到了救赎；但另一方面，任由我们不做出任何改变的恩典不是真正的恩典。恩典不仅仅只是通过主耶稣在十字架上的牺牲使我们得饶恕，更救我们脱离了因没有神和他的引导而空虚、败坏的生命。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
John's words sound strange in a world afraid to tell the truth about sin, wickedness, and evil. Yet all lost people — people who do not know Jesus and those who claim to follow him but don't obey him — we all desperately need to repent. That means changing our hearts and lives, seeking after God, and turning our behaviors around to live for Jesus as Lord. We choose to follow and obey him, not our wants. Yes, salvation is given to us by God's incredible grace. On the other hand, grace that leaves us unchanged is not true grace. Grace not only forgives us through Jesus' sacrificial death on the Cross and our faith in him but also liberates us from the empty and destructive life without God, his guidance, and our purpose.
我的祷告
慈爱的天父啊，请饶恕我的罪，我愿将自己的心回转向你！我愿照你的旨意而活，使你得荣耀！奉主耶稣基督圣名祈求，阿们。
My Prayer...
Forgive me, dear Heavenly Father, for my sin. I turn my heart back to you and commit to live my life according to your will and for your glory, not my own and certainly not the ways of this fallen, broken, and lost world. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
