「凡接待祂的，就是信祂名的人，祂就賜他們權柄，作神的兒女。」（約1:12）
默想一：如何享有榮耀的地位作神的兒女？靠多廣行善事嗎？靠多積功德嗎？不能。因為我們不論做多少好事，我們同時也做了很多壞事。我們必須用信心來接受耶穌基督為生命的主。相信主不是知不知道的問題，而是在接不接受，也就是信不信的問題。知道什麼只是在腦袋裡，接受卻在心裡面。因為人心裡相信，就可以稱義；口裡承認，就可以得救（羅10:10）
默想二：你現在是神的兒女嗎？還是浪子或孤兒？神願萬人得救，祂一直呼喚人「歸家吧！歸家吧！」。不要再流浪，不要再遲疑。現在就謙卑地來到阿爸父神，求祂的饒恕及赦免，真誠地表明你悔改的決心，祂必立時釋放你，賜你新生命及永生。
禱告：慈愛的天父上帝，感謝祢在耶穌基督裡所成就的大恩，讓我今日成為袮的兒女。求祢教導我如何活出神兒女應有的見證，使別人因藉著我也蒙恩福。奉耶穌基督的聖名禱告，阿們！
“Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.” (John 1:12)
Meditation one: How can a child of God receive the glorious status? Does it depend on your good deeds? Does it rely on your merit? No, you can’t. No matter how much good deeds we do, we also do a lot of bad things. We must accept Jesus Christ as the Lord of Life with faith. Believe in the Lord is not a question of knowing Him or not, but a matter of accepting, or believing in Him or not. Knowing something only means remaining in one’ brain while accepting means residing inside the heart. One can be justified by faith when with the heart one believes. One can be saved when with the mouth one confesses. (Rom 10:10)
Meditation two: Are you now a child of God, or a prodigal or an orphan? God wishes all people to be saved, and He has always called upon people, “come home! Come home!” Don’t wander any more, don’t hesitate any more. Just humbly come to the Abba Father, ask for His mercy and forgiveness. Once you sincerely demonstrate your determination to repent, then He will set you free immediately and give you a new soul and eternal life.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, thank You for Your grace in Jesus Christ and let me be Your child today. Teach me how to live out the testimony of a child of God, so that others may be blessed through me. I pray in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ, Amen
