《今日靈修默想》:「我們若將起初確實的信心,堅持到底,就在基督裡有分了。」(來3:14)

默想一:什麼是“確實的信心”?就是「所望之事的實底,是未見之事的確據。」(來11:1)確實的信心不會在苦難、挑戰、打擊、逼迫前低頭,反而愈挫愈勇,再接再厲、百折不撓、堅持到底。親愛的天路客,你要“在基督裡有分”嗎?加油!

默想二:我們能將起初確實的信心堅持到底嗎?很難的,唯有靠耶穌基督,因為祂是我們信心與救恩的創始者和成終者。祂透過聖靈在我們身上的工作,賜給我們能力,使我們與祂有分。當你將自己的全人完全交託給祂時,祂必為你負責一切。

禱告:親愛的主!我相信祢,但我信心不夠,求祢加增我信心:引領我日日愛祢更進深,服事祢更忠心,信靠祢更堅定,跟隨袮更徹底。禱告都是奉祢寶貴的聖名,阿們!

《Today’s spiritual meditation》:  “We have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original conviction firmly to the very end.” (Heb 3:14 )

Meditation one: What does “original conviction” mean? It is the “faith in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” (Heb 11:1) True faith will not surrender due to suffering, challenge, strike, and persecution, but will become even braver, continue to strive hard, persevere, and sustain without giving up. Dear pilgrims, do you want to “come to share in Christ”? Go for it! 

Meditation two: Can we hold our original conviction firmly to the very end? It is quite difficult. The only way is to trust in Jesus Christ since He is the founder and perfecter of our faith and salvation. Through the work of the Holy Spirit on us, He gives us the strength so we can come to share in Him. When you fully surrender your whole person to Him, He will take all the responsibilities for you.

Prayer: Dear Lord! I do believe in You, yet help me overcome my unbelief. Please increase my faith: Lead me every day to love You deeper and deeper, to serve You more faithfully, to trust in You more firmly, and to follow You more persistently. I pray in Your precious holy name, Amen!
