对今日诗句的想法
恩典是上帝给我们的免费礼物，既无法赚取，也非理所当然。然而，如果救恩不能把我们从自我毁灭或悖逆的道路上救拔出来，这样的救恩就是假冒伪造的。认罪悔改其实是生命的蜕变，就是承认我们一直在错误的单行道上行进，是承认我们企图当自己生命的主宰。如果没有耶稣作为我们言语的主和生命的主，那么我们的一生必定走向失望、灾难、和死亡。我们深知上帝的恩典何等奇妙，但我们也要明白祂的心意也是何其美好。这样的一位神，赐下祂的爱子来为我们的罪成为赎罪祭，而我们行事为人，则当改变自己的行为，来反映出上帝如此荣美的品性！
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Grace is given to us as a free gift. It cannot be earned or merited. But salvation that does not move us out of our self-destructive and rebellious ways is counterfeit — it's just religious motion and commotion. Repentance is a major life change. Repentance is the realization that we have been going the wrong way on a one-way street. Repentance is an acknowledgment that trying to guide our own lives will always end in disappointment, disaster, and death without Jesus being the Lord of our lips and our lives. As we do, we will change our behavior to reflect the character of the Father who sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins! We know that God's grace is marvelous, but let's also learn that his will is gracious and life-giving.
我的祷告
仁爱施恩的上帝，我知道你将我从过去的罪恶中救出来，也想通过呼召我来顺服您而救我脱离未来罪恶的后果。当我的生活超越你的意愿之时，求您帮助我。请以圣灵坚固我的内心，使我可以抗拒诱惑，反映出您的圣洁，在我的生命中带下圣灵的果子，反映出你的救恩和你的性格。奉耶稣的名祷告。阿们。
My Prayer...
Loving and merciful God, I realize that you saved me from my past sins and also want to save me from the consequences of future sins by calling me to obedience. Please help me as I turn my life over to your will. Please strengthen me with your Spirit so that I may resist temptation and reflect your holiness. Bring to life the fruit that reflects your salvation and character in me. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
