黎明的灵修-第145章
We Shall Be Dead to Our Sins, May 25
黎明的灵修-第145章
“祂被挂在木头上亲身担当了我们的罪,使我们既然在罪上死,就得以在义上活;因祂受的鞭伤,你们便得了医治”(彼前2:24)。[1]
黎明的灵修-第145章
Hope for Him Who Repents
Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye are healed.1 Peter 2:24.{WGD 147.1}[1]
黎明的灵修-第145章
我们领受和分赠上帝赦免之爱的前提,是知道和相信祂爱我们的心(约壹4:16)。撒但正千方百计地施行欺骗,使我们看不清这爱。他要诱导我们相信自己的错误和过犯非常严重;上帝不会理睬我们的祈求,不肯赐福和拯救我们。我们在自己身上所看到的只有软弱,在上帝面前没有任何值得称道的优点。撒但对我们说,我们是无药可救的。我们无法弥补自己品格的缺点。当我们想要来到上帝面前时,仇敌就会悄悄地对我们说:你的祈祷根本没有用处。你不是已经做了坏事么?你不是已经得罪上帝,违背良心了么?但我们可以对仇敌说:“祂儿子耶稣的血也洗净我们一切的罪”(约壹1:7)。当我们觉得自己罪重而无法祈祷时,那正是我们应该祷告的时候。我们可能会深感羞愧和自卑,但我们仍需祷告和相信。“基督耶稣降世,为要拯救罪人,这话是可信的,是十分可佩服的,在罪人中我是个罪魁”(提前1:15)。我们得蒙赦免而与上帝和好,不是靠自己的行为,也不是靠我们有罪之人的功劳。这上帝的恩赐,是凭着基督无玷污的公义赠予的。[2]
黎明的灵修-第145章
The one thing essential for us in order that we may receive and impart the forgiving love of God is to know and believe the love that He has to us. Satan is working by every deception he can command, in order that we may not discern that love. He will lead us to think that our mistakes and transgressions have been so grievous that the Lord will not have respect unto our prayers, and will not bless and save us. In ourselves we can see nothing but weakness, nothing to recommend us to God, and Satan tells us that it is of no use; we can not remedy our defects of character. When we try to come to God, the enemy will whisper, It is of no use for you to pray; did not you do that evil thing? Have you not sinned against God, and violated your own conscience? But we may tell the enemy that “The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin.” When we feel that we have sinned, and can not pray, it is then the time to pray. Ashamed we may be, and deeply humbled; but we must pray, and believe.... Forgiveness, reconciliation with God, comes to us, not as a reward for our works, it is not bestowed because of the merit of sinful men, but it is a gift unto us, having in the spotless righteousness of Christ its foundation for bestowal.{WGD 147.2}[2]
黎明的灵修-第145章
我们不要文过饰非,以减轻罪责。我们必须接受上帝对罪恶的严肃评估。惟有髑髅地才能显明罪的穷凶极恶。我们的罪责如果要由自己来承担,我们早就被压垮了。但那位无罪之主代替了我们,背负了我们的罪孽,虽然祂完全不该这样。(MB 115、116)[3]
黎明的灵修-第145章
We should not try to lessen our guilt by excusing sin. We must accept God’s estimate of sin, and that is heavy indeed. Calvary alone can reveal the terrible enormity of sin. If we had to bear our own guilt, it would crush us. But the sinless One has taken our place, though undeserving, He has borne our iniquity.—Thoughts from the Mount of Blessing, 115, 116.{WGD 147.3}[3]
