对今日诗句的想法
圣灵不仅现在赐给我们能力,他也是我们的凭据(哥林多后书1:22;5:5),并且保证我们将得见神的面(约翰一书3:1-2)并得享神的荣耀(歌罗西书3:1-4)。圣灵就住在我们里面,并且应许赐给我们永生的生命。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
The Holy Spirit doesn't just empower us now (Ephesians 3:14-21) — for sure, he does provide us power and strength, insight and guidance — but the Holy Spirit's work is not just powerful now, giving life to our "mortal bodies". The Spirit is also our guarantee for our future (2 Corinthians 1:22; 5:5) and our assurance that we will see God face to face (1 John 3:1-2) and share in his glory (Colossians 3:1-4). The Spirit is alive in us "as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies," and promises us life that never will end in the presence of the Father, and with the Son, because of the Holy Spirit.
我的祷告
噢,神啊,各国、各族的父啊,感谢你应许了将通过圣灵在我的生命之中做工;感谢你应许了通过圣灵的能力将我复活,使我进入你的同在。奉主耶稣之名祈求,阿们!
My Prayer...
O God and Father of all nations and races, thank you for your Spirit who is my guarantee that you will raise me from the dead and empowers me right now. As I look forward to that great day, I know I will join Jesus in your presence forever. So, dear Father, I praise you in Jesus' name, and by the power of the Holy Spirit, I thank you as I anticipate that great day and live for you today. Amen.
