Jan. 11 Unconditional Love. Scripture reading : 1 John 4: 13-21 Key verse : Romans 5:8 1 月 11 日 無條件的愛. 讀經:約翰一書 4:13-21 : 鑰節: 羅馬書 5:8
God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 當我們還是罪人的時候, 基督就為我們而死, 上帝向我們展示了祂自己的愛.
God is not afraid to love us just the way we are, with all our flaws and short-comings. He is secure in who He is. Therefore, He loves us unconditionally and without regard to our failures. 上帝不害怕愛我們原本的樣子, 儘管我們有的毛病和缺點. 上帝對祂自己的身分感到安全. 因此, 祂無條件地愛我們, 不在呼我們的失敗。
He created us not to live apart from His love but to be partakers of His holiness. However, He knows that there will be times whenwe look and act unholy. Our misguided actions do not erase or stop the love of God. Sin can separate us from Hisblessings and intimate fellowship, but there is never a time when God withholds His love. 祂創造我們, 不是為了讓我們脫離祂的愛而生活, 而是為了讓我們有分於祂的聖潔. 然而, 祂知道有時我們的行事為人會不聖潔. 我們誤導的行事為人, 並不能消除或阻止上帝的愛. 罪可以使我們與祂的祝福和親密的團契隔絕, 但上帝從來沒有停止過祂對人的愛.
In loving us, God knows that we can never give back to Him what He has given to us, but He does require us to love one another with the same love that He has demonstrated toward us. 上帝愛我們時, 祂深知我們永遠無法, 將祂所賜給我們的愛還給祂, 但上帝確實要求我們以祂對我們所表現出的愛來同樣的彼此相愛.
In his book Mighty Is Your Hand, David Hazard paraphases the words of Andrew Murray, 大衛·哈札爾在他的著作《你的手偉大》中轉述了安魯·穆雷的話:
In our life with people, the one thing on which everything depends is love. The spirit of forgiveness is the spirit of love. Because God is love, He forgivens. Consequently, it is only as we are dwelling in the love of God that we can forgive as God forgives. 在我們與人生活相處時, 一切所著重的事就是 "愛". 寬恕的靈命就是愛. 因為上帝就是愛, 所以祂饒恕我們. 因此, 只有當我們住在祂的愛中時, 才能像上帝那樣的寬恕的靈.
Our love for others is the evidence of our love for God. It is our grounds for confidence before God in prayer. It is our assurance that our prayer will be heard (1 john 4:20) 我們對人的愛就是對上帝愛的證據. 這是我們在祂面前禱告充滿信心的基礎. 這就是我們的禱告蒙垂聽的確據(約壹 4:20)
Let your love fof God be a symbol of love and forgiveness to all meet. 讓你對上帝的愛, 成為對所有人的愛和寬恕的象徵.
Lord, let Your presence shine through my life as a symbol of Your unconditional love and forgiveness. 主啊! 讓祢的顕現, 閃耀在我的生命中, 作為祢無條件的愛和寬恕的象徵.
