讀經：雅各書第四章。
默想：「人若知道行善，卻不去行，這就是他的罪了。」（雅4:17）
默想一：我沒有殺人、放火、偷竊、撒謊，怎麼說我是罪人？一般人所講的罪是根據法律，憑人證、物證定人的罪。但神所講的罪不是只看外在的違法行為，乃是看人的內在動機及態度。在神眼中，罪還包括你應該做而不做，你不應該做而去做。照神的標準，「世人都犯了罪，虧缺了神的榮耀。」（羅3:23）但感謝神，藉著耶穌基督的救恩，和祂話語的光照，使人的生命改變，成為新造的人。
默想二：行善就能得救嗎？不可能！真正的信仰不單是叫人行善，更指出人是沒有真正行善的能力，原因是人離開了至善的源頭上帝。人不聽祂的話，這就是罪，罪使人失去了行善的能力。真正的信仰是叫人認識至聖者天父上帝並與祂和好。
禱告：感謝神，因袮是至善至潔、大而可畏的神。求袮赦免我，只有知善，卻不行善；只有信心，卻沒有行為；只有聽道，卻沒有行道；只有愛神，卻沒有愛人。讓我的生活在袮的光中是表裡一致，言行相稱，使人從我身上看見袮的聖潔、榮美與真誠。奉耶穌基督的名禱告，阿們！
Bible Reading: James 4.
Meditation: “If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.” (Jas 4:17)
Meditation one: I did not commit murder, arson, theft, falsehood, how can I be a sinner? The sin that most people talk about is a crime that is condemned based on eye witness and physical evidence according to the law. However, the sin that God speaks about does not only look at the external unlawful acts, but people’s inner motivation and stances. In God’s eyes, sin also includes what you ought to do but you didn’t, and what you should not do but you did. According to God’s standard, “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Rom 3:23). Yet thank God that through the salvation of Jesus Christ and the light of His Word, people’s lives are changed and become new creations.
Meditation two: Can you be saved through good deeds? It is not possible! True faith not only calls people to have good deeds, but also points out that people have no real ability to do good things. The reason is that they have left God, the source of perfect goodness. When people do not listen to His words, which is sin and sin makes people lose the ability to do good things. The true faith is to let people know the Holy One, God heavenly Father, and be reconciled with Him.
Prayer: Thank God, because You are the most holy, pure, and awesome God. Please forgive me for only knowing good, but not doing good; only have faith, but no deeds; only hearing the message, but not doing that way; only loving God, but not loving others. Let my life be consistent in your light, with words and deeds commensurate, so that people can see your holiness, beauty and sincerity from me. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
