讀經:哥林多前書第一章

默想:「但你們得在基督耶穌裡,是本乎神,神又使祂祂成為我們的智慧、公義、聖潔、救贖。」(林前1:30 )

默想一:為甚麼基督徒的蒙恩得救沒什麼可誇?因為不是你為神作了什麼,也不是你的條件佳或比別人可愛,而是神在基督耶穌裡所彰顯的智慧和大能。

默想二:神的智慧如何成為我們的智慧?唯有藉著相信主才能使我們在基督裡有得救的智慧。我們是因信得以在神面前稱義;因信與神的性情有分過聖潔的生活;因信使我們的身體得贖。

禱告:天父上帝,感謝袮。像我這樣何等愚拙、軟弱、卑賤、沒什麼的人,但你的恩典竟然臨到我。求祢幫助我存謙卑的心與袮同行,我願愛惜光陰,在世敬虔度日,凡事只為袮的榮耀而活。禱告是奉耶穌基督的名,阿們!

Bible reading: 1 Corinthian 1.

Insight:  “It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption.” (1Co 1:30)

Insight one: Why a Christian should not boast about his/her salvation? Because it is neither due to the thing you have done for God, nor due to your quality is better or you are more lovable than others, but the wisdom and power in Christ Jesus revealed by God. 

Insight two: How can we adopt God’s wisdom into our wisdom? The only way is to believe in the Lord and make us wise for salvation in Christ Jesus. We are justified by faith in front of God. Since faith becomes partaker of God’s divine nature thus we may live a life of holiness. Our bodies are redeemed because of our faith. 

Prayer: God heavenly Father, thank You. Such an unwise, weak, unworthy, ordinary person like me, yet Your grace has even come upon me. Please help me to have a humble heart so I can walk with You. I will make the most of every opportunity, live a godly life, to glorify Your name in all things. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
