对今日诗句的想法
我们生活在一个权利的时代和文化中。 “___是我的权利。”只需填写此空白。但是,我们没有成为神的孩子的权利。我们被授予此权利是出于上帝的恩典。得此权利源于上帝的极大的代价。耶稣来到人间,生活,死亡,从死里复活。我们通过信心得到这个恩典:上帝给我们新生因我们相信耶稣是主,我们受洗,通过圣灵的力量重生(约翰福音3:3-7;提多书3:3-7)。以神而生,从天上而生,是受神的家庭领养的恩赐的重生,使我们有神的家庭继承人的全部权利(加拉太书3:26-4:7)。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
We live in a time and culture obsessed with individual rights. "It's my right to ___." Just fill in the blank. But none of us has the right to be God's child on our own merit, status, or position. God's grace gives us that right. This right came to us at great cost to God. Jesus came to earth, lived, died, and was raised from the dead. We receive this grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8-10). God gives us new birth as we trust in Jesus as Lord (Romans 10:9-10). And we get to be baptized into Christ Jesus and share in his death, burial, and resurrection (Romans 6:3-14). We are born a new child of God through the power of the Holy Spirit (John 3:3-7; Galatians 3:26-29; Titus 3:3-7). To be born of God, to be born from above, to be born "again" (John 3:3-7) means we are adopted as children into God's family with all the rights of heirs and as co-heirs with Christ Jesus (Romans 8:14-17; Galatians 4:1-7).
我的祷告
阿爸父,感谢你把我包括在你家庭中。愿我的今天的生活反映你的影响力,性格,怜悯,圣洁,同情,正义和爱。我的父亲,我想成为像你一样。因此,正如我由圣灵的力量出生到你的家庭里,今天请使我充满您的精神,使我会以我所做的和说的反映您的品格。以我弟兄耶稣的名祷告。阿门。
My Prayer...
Abba Father, thank you for including me in your family. May my life today reflect your influence, character, mercy, holiness, compassion, righteousness, and love. I want to be like you, my Father. So just as I was born into your family by the power of the Holy Spirit, please fill me with your Spirit today so that I will reflect you in all I do and say this day. I want to be a child that reflects my Father's nature. In the name of my older brother Jesus, I pray. Amen.
