对今日诗句的想法
水和圣灵 — 他们是贯穿于整个新约中的在转变和重生里的关键组件。其一是归顺和投诚。另一个礼物和提示是只有神才能通过他的力量重造我们。难怪耶稣把他们看得在他的王国如此重要。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Water and Spirit — they track together as vital components in conversion and the new birth throughout the New Testament (Acts 2:38-41; 1 Corinthians 6:9-11; Titus 3:3-7). One is an act of submission and surrender. The other is a gift and reminder that only God can make us new by his power poured into our lives through the Holy Spirit. Neither is something we can accomplish on our own. So, Jesus and John connected these two moves of grace into one new birth event grammatically — "born of water and Spirit." No wonder Jesus made them crucial to entering into his Kingdom life: we offer ourselves to faith to him, and the Spirit gives us new birth into God's family.
我的祷告
圣洁和公义的父亲。我承认我尽力却常常失败，我的一致性并不总是一致。这就是为什么我很感谢你，感谢你给我你在耶稣里的恩典，让我通过圣灵获得重生进到你的大家庭。以耶稣的名祷告。阿们。
My Prayer...
Holy and righteous Father. I acknowledge that my best efforts often fail, and my consistency isn't always consistent. I'm so thankful you gave me your grace in Jesus and made me new by my spiritual birth into your family. In Jesus' name, I thank you. Amen.
