《今日靈修默想》:「因為世人都犯了罪,虧缺了神的榮耀,如今卻蒙神的恩典,因基督耶穌的救贖,就白白地稱義。」(羅3:23-24)

默想一:我沒有殺人、放火、搶劫、偷竊、犯法,聖經怎麼說我們都是罪人?而且還說罪的工價乃是地獄裡的永刑。在神的眼光裡,凡沒有達到祂當初造人是要人彰顯神的榮耀為目的,並沒有照祂公義、聖潔、完美的標準而行的都是罪人。神看罪不像人看外表,祂還看人的內在動機及意念。

默想二:既然我是罪人,那我怎麼辦?感謝神!祂差遣耶穌基督為我們的罪被釘在十字架上,藉著祂的拯救使我們脫離死罪。我們唯一能做的,就是謙卑地來到主面前悔改認罪,單單地相信祂,祂會立時赦免我們一切的罪,並賜給我們新的生命。

禱告:阿爸父神,感謝祢的奇異恩典,是祢藉著耶穌基督把我從罪的權勢裡搶救出來,從黑暗走向光明。求祢幫助我的今生,只為彰顯祢的榮耀而活,讓別人認識祢的愛。奉耶穌基督的名禱告,阿們!

《Today’s spiritual meditation》:  “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.” (Rom 3:23-24)

Meditation one: I have never committed murder, arson, robbery, stealing, lawbreaking, why does the Bible say that we are all sinners? And also says that the wage of sin is the eternal punishment in hell. In God’s eyes, a sinner is anyone who does not reveal the glory of God according to the original purpose of God’s creation, and fails to act according to His standard of righteousness, holiness, and perfection. God perceives sin not based a person’s appearance; He also looks into a person’s inner motivation and mind.

Meditation two: Since I am a sinner, then what should I do? Thank God! He sent Jesus Christ to be crucified for our sins, and to free us from death through His salvation. The only thing we can do is humbly come to the Lord and repent and confess, believing in Him alone, and He will immediately forgive us for all our sins and give us renewed lives.

Prayer: Abba Father, thank You for Your amazing grace. Through Jesus Christ, You have rescued me from the power of sin and enter into glory from the dark. Help me in this life to live only for revealing Your glory, and to let others know Your love. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
