《今日靈修默想》:「…你們不是自己的人;因為你們是重價買來的。所以要在你們的身子上榮耀神。」(林前6:19-20 )

默想一:基督徒信了主為什麼不再是自己的人?不要忘了,天父上帝為我們的罪付上極大的代價,犧牲祂的愛子耶穌捨身流血,使我們因信耶穌基督歸屬於神。祂是我們的阿爸父神,我們是祂的兒女,是很榮耀的地位,也是很尊貴的分。

默想二:神拯救我們的目的是什麼?只是享受於作祂的兒女的榮耀地位及有分於神一切的豐盛恩典嗎?不是的!我們蒙恩是要報恩於主,用我們全部的生命來服事主,在生活中彰顯神的榮耀。

禱告:主耶穌!祢既然用重價買贖了我,今後的我不再是為自己活,乃是為在裡面的基督而活。求祢塑造我成為樂意遵行祢旨意的器皿,讓人在我身上看見祢的榮耀。禱告是奉耶穌基督的名,阿們!

《Today’s spiritual meditation》:  “ … You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.” (1Co 6:19-20)

Meditation one: Why, once Christians have believed in the Lord, their bodies will no longer be their own? Don’t forget that God our Heavenly Father had paid a very great price for our sins, shed the blood of His beloved son Jesus, and made us belong to God through our faith in Jesus Christ who is our Abba Father, and we are His children. It’s a glorious position, and it is a very honorable identity.

Meditation two: What is God’s purpose in saving us? Is it just to enjoy the glorious status of being His children and the abundant grace that is part of God? No! We were granted by His mercy and we want to respond. We should serve the Lord with our entire lives and reveal God’s glory through our daily lives.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, since You have bought me at a heavy price, from now on I will no longer live for myself, but for Christ Who is in me. Please mold me into a vessel that is joyfully willing to follow Your will, and let people see Your glory through me. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
