452 中翻英 (152)   The eternal efficacy of Christ's blood is true.   基督寶血永遠有效是真理.                                                                             7/9/2023

「因為那在我們神面前晝夜控告我們弟兄的，已經被摔下去了。」                                                            （啟   12:10 新國際版）

撒但是一個凶手和騙子，它誘惑人，也攻擊人。但是，今天它卻專門在控告人。天上很了解這事，而每一個基督徒，也必須對這事有所認識。撒但日夜在控告我們，但并非毫無根据。它直指我們的良心，就是我們最沒有力量去抵抗它的地方。它的目的，是要使我們在思想中感到絕望，說：「我是一個毫無希望的失敗者，神在我身上是無能為力了！」良心是很寶貴的東西，但如果我們一直不斷的复述：「我是不好的！我是不好的！」這個不是基督徒的謙卑。承認自己的罪，這在屬靈上是很正常的，但永不要讓我們的認罪到了一個地步，好像我們的「罪惡」會比基督的救贖工作浮現得更大。魔鬼知道，要對付你和我，沒有一件武器比制造這個幻景更有效。那么，怎樣補救呢？首先該向神認罪，其次要對祂承認說：「主阿，我是不好的！」可是隨即你要提醒自己，認定基督寶血永遠的功效，而仰望祂的榮耀，并要說：「然而，主阿，我是住在你里面的！」

"For he who accuses our brethren day and night before our God has been cast down"    (Revelation 12:10 NIV).

Satan is a murderer and a liar who seduces and attacks people. But today it is exclusively accusing people. God, in heaven, knows this well, and every Christian must know this too. Satan accuses us day and night, but not without reason. It goes straight right to our conscience, where we are least able to resist it. Its purpose is to make us despair in our thoughts, saying, "I am a hopeless loser, and God is helpless with me!" Conscience is a precious thing, but if we keep repeating : "I'm not good! I'm not good!" This is not humility for chrisian. It is spiritually normal to confess our sins, but never let our confession get to the point where our "sin" will emerge as a bigger deal than Christ's redemptive work. The devil knows that no weapon is more effective against you and me than this illusion.   How can we remedy it, then? First you should confess your sins to God, and then you should confess to Him, "Lord, I am not good!" But, at last you have to remind yourself to recognize the eternal efficacy of Christ's blood, look to His glory, and say, " Yet, Lord, I live in you!"
