对今日诗句的想法
加拉太书不断地提醒我们:律法,即使是旧约全律也无法使我们称义或拯救我们。虽然如此,但律法却也承担着一项重要的任务——将我们领向基督。我们因着律法分辨对错,认识自己的失败、不足、过犯、罪和软弱。最重要的是,我们因为律法明白了对救主的渴求。感谢神所赐的律法,更千万倍地感谢神赐下了主耶稣!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Galatians repeatedly reminds us that no law can make us righteous or save us, not even the Old Testament Law. However, the law (Torah) does several essential things.
- The law leads us to Christ, who fulfills and embodies what God intended for his law to do in his people (Matthew 5:17-20). Jesus shows us what God wants his law to look like when we obey it.
- The law helps us recognize right and wrong, the value of a person, and how God defines a person, marriage, and righteous, as well as unrighteous behaviors.
We recognize our failures, imperfections, sins, transgressions, and weaknesses, and through the law, our need for a Savior. Praise God for the Torah, God's law that shows us the righteous character, gracious compassion, and faithful justice that he displays and desires us to live. Praise God a hundred times more for Jesus, who fulfilled the law's righteous demands and gave himself as the perfect sacrifice for sins!
我的祷告
慈爱的天父啊,感谢你,你赐下律法为要将我们领向主耶稣。你所赐的律法帮助我感激主的完美,帮助我认识自己的罪,更重要的是帮助我认识到,是主的牺牲给予了我律法所不能给予的——你的公义。父啊,我全身心地相信,主耶稣来到世间为我而死,赐给了我生命!我为主耶稣的公义而感谢赞美你!阿们!
My Prayer...
Thank you, dear Heavenly Father, that the goal of your law was to bring us to Jesus. The law, the Torah, helps me appreciate Jesus' perfection. It helps me know my sinfulness. Most of all, it helps me realize that Jesus' sacrifice gives me what the law cannot — your righteousness. Father, I do truly believe with all my heart that Jesus came to die for me and provide me with your life. I thank you in Jesus' name and because of Jesus' righteousness! Amen.
