讀經:啟示錄第二十章

《今日靈修默想》:「若有人名字沒記在生命冊上,他就被扔在火湖(晝夜痛苦的地獄)。」(啟20:15)

默想一:你已經知道自己將來的結局如何嗎?按著定命,人人都有一死,死後且有審判(來9:27)。在最後審判的時候,上帝會按著生命冊上的名字一一過濾,所有重生得救的人,都受了聖靈的印記。神要憑著人身上聖靈的印記,認出每一個人(提後2:19)。「生命冊」上有沒有你我的名字,關係到我們將來在哪裡度永生或永刑。

默想二:你怎麼確定你的名字在生命冊中呢?凡悔改認罪並相信主耶穌基督為你的救主的人就必得救。一旦你的名字在生命册中,它就永遠不會被塗抹(啟3:5;羅8:37-39)。神不在乎你在地上做多少偉大的事,祂在乎的是你的名字有沒有記在生命冊上蒙祂記念。

禱告:天父上帝,感謝讚美袮。因救恩、榮耀、權能、公義都屬袮。人生短暫又多有苦難,求袮教導我如何憑信心過在地如在天的生活。讓我善用今生活出永恆的生命。奉耶穌基督的名禱告。阿們!

Bible Reading: Revelation 20.

《Today’s spiritual meditation》:  “Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire (the hell of day and night torment.” (Rev 20:15)

Meditation one: Have you realized already where will be your final destination? People are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment (Heb 9:27). In the final judgment, God will sieve according to the names in the book of life. All who are reborn and saved will be sealed with the Holy Spirit. God will know every one of those bearing the seal of the Holy Spirit (2Ti 2:19). Depending upon your or my name is written in the “Book of Life” or not will determine the place we will go into eternal life or eternal punishment.

Meditation two: How can you be sure that your name is in the book of life? Those who repent and confess their sins and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as the Savior will be saved. Once your name is in the book of life, it will never been blotted (Rev 3:5; Rom 8:37-39). God does not care how much great things you have done on the earth. He cares and remembers whether your name is written in the book of life or not.

Prayer: God heavenly Father, I thank You and praise You. The salvation, the glory, the power, and the righteousness are all Yours. Life is short and there is a lot of suffering. Please teach me how to live by faith on the earth as in the heaven. Let me make good use of this life to live out the life of eternity. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen!
