聖經閱讀：以弗所書2:1-10 現代中譯本|合和本
2015年1月24日(六)

當寫一本新書時，我經常會創造好幾個主要的角色，要這麼做，就必須先知道這些角色。我必須思考他們的過去、他們的個性、他們的家人和很多其他細節，這幫助我在書中描寫他們。 　就好像我認識書中的角色一樣，上帝也認識我們每一個人！甚至在我們出生前，祂就知道我們的個性和未來。上帝知道我們喜歡什麼、不喜歡什麼，祂知道我們最喜歡的顏色，以及我們頭上有幾根頭髮。 　保羅在今天的經文裡說：「上帝是我們的創造者」（第10a節）。我們並不是意外被造的，上帝有目的地創造我們，祂愛我們並創造我們來服事祂、順服祂。 　知道上帝關心你是一件令人興奮的事情，祂是令人敬畏的上帝！要永遠記得祂愛你並希望你成為祂的兒女。 －RB 「他藉著基督耶穌改造了我們，要我們行善；這是他早已計劃要我們去做的。」 以弗所書2:10b 禱告：天父，感謝祢造了我並賜給我生命，現在我願服事祢、順服祢。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (尤榮輝譯)

Bible Reading: Ephesians 2:1-10
Saturday, January 24, 2015

When I write a new book, I usually create several main characters. To do that, I first need to know who the characters are. I need to think about their pasts, their personalities, their families and many other details. This helps me to write about them in my book. 　Just like I know the characters in my books, God knows each of us, too! He knew our personalities and futures even before we were born. God knows what we like or don't like. He knows our favorite colors and how many hairs we have on our heads. 　Paul says in our Bible Reading, “God has made us what we are” (verse 10a). We were not made by accident. God created us on purpose. He loves us and made us to serve and obey Him. 　It is exciting to know that God cares about you. He is an awesome God! Always remember that He loves you and wants you to be His child. —RB “In Christ Jesus, God made us new people so that we would spend our lives doing the good things he had already planned for us to do.” Ephesians 2:10b PRAYER: Father, thank You for making me and giving me life. Now I want to serve and obey You. In Jesus' name. Amen.
