对今日诗句的想法
使徒保罗在成为基督徒以前,就已经在他属灵的生命中完成了许多重大的事情。他对神和神话语的热心是有口皆碑的。但与认识基督和基督的恩典相比,保罗却将自己过往的成就视为粪土。他从主耶稣那里得到的是救赎,不仅仅只是救我们脱离罪和死亡的救赎,更是通向恩典和大能的救赎。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Paul had accomplished great things — at least in his mind — during his spiritual life as a teacher and Pharisee before he became a Christian. His devotion to God and the Word of God was legendary. He persecuted Christians because he thought they were blasphemers. But when he came to Jesus, he counted his past accomplishments as little more than garbage compared to knowing Christ and the grace he had received from God because of Jesus. Paul found salvation in Jesus, not just from sin and death, but salvation for a life of grace and power so that all people could be redeemed and find hope in Jesus.

Almighty and Faithful Father, thank you for your grace that rescued me from legalism, pride, arrogance, sin, and despair. Thank you for the perfection you have given me in Jesus — a perfection not because of my works but your loving grace. Please use me to help others come to know your grace more fully. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
