对今日诗句的想法
我们已经从律法中释放得自由了!难道这就意味着混乱无序、毫无约束吗?当然不是!因为释放我们得自由的恩典,同时也让神的圣灵住在我们里面。圣灵能够加添我们能力,使我们完成那些单靠我们自己的力量所无法做到的事。当我们软弱时,圣灵能够帮助我们充满信心与勇气地向父神祷告。有了圣灵的帮助,我们就进入了由神的恩典与基督的灵所联结的、可信赖的朋友圈中。感谢神所赐的“全新方式”!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
We are free from law and law-keeping as a basis for our righteousness! Does that mean anarchy and lawlessness? Absolutely not! The grace that freed us from the law also brought God's Holy Spirit to live within us. The Spirit can empower us to do what we could never do on our own (Ephesians 3:14-21). The Spirit helps us in our weakness to pray with confidence and boldness (Romans 8:26-27). With the Spirit's help, we are brought into a circle of accountable friends joined together by the grace of God and the Spirit of Christ. We can encourage each other to let the Holy Spirit have his way in us as we develop the fruit of the Spirit — love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23) — and are transformed to be more and more like Jesus as we pursue and reflect him in our lives (2 Corinthians 3:17-18). Thank God for this "new way" to live holy and loving lives in a world that needs holiness and love!

My Prayer...
Father, thank you for redeeming and delivering me from the requirements of the law and placing your Spirit in my heart to help me be more than I could ever be trying to obey the law. In Jesus' name, I praise you. Amen.
