靠自己不能做

靠自己不能做
聖經閱讀：以弗所書2:4-10 現代中譯本|合和本
2016年3月30日(三)

你喜歡畫畫、塗鴉或是裁縫嗎？你喜歡修理壞掉的東西或是發明新玩意嗎？也許你擅長居家DIY（自己動手做）的裝修工作，這是很棒的事！
但有一件事是你無法靠自己完成的，不管你有多好的技術或是多有創意，你還是無法完成這項工作，你知道這是什麼工作嗎？就是救恩！無論你有多好、多常上教會，或多少次讀完整本聖經，你都無法拯救自己！
唯有上帝的恩典可以救你脫離罪惡並使你得赦免。今天經文閱讀的第8節說：「你們是靠上帝的恩典、憑信心而得救的；這不是出於你們自己的行為，而是上帝的恩賜。」
請接受上帝透過耶穌賜下的奇妙救恩，要讀上帝的話語並遵行祂的旨意！ —GT

「因為人人都犯罪，虧欠了上帝的榮耀。然而，上帝白白地賜恩典，藉著基督耶穌救贖他們，使他們跟他有合宜的關係。」 羅馬書3:23-24

禱告：天父，我知道靠自己無法得救，我要接受祢的救恩。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

(李信儀譯)

You Can't Do It Yourself
Bible Reading: Ephesians 2:4-10
Wednesday, March 30, 2016

　Do you enjoy painting, drawing or sewing? Do you like to fix broken things or invent something new? Maybe you are good at do-it-yourself projects around the house. That's wonderful!
But there is one project that you can't do by yourself. No matter how skilled or creative you are, you can't do this project. Do you know what that project is? Salvation! No matter how good you are or how often you go to church or how many times you read through the Bible, you can't save yourself!
Only God's grace can save you from your sin and give you forgiveness. Verse 8 of our Bible Reading today says, “I mean that you have been saved by grace because you believed. You did not save yourselves; it was a gift from God.”
Please accept God's wonderful gift of salvation through Jesus. Read His Word and obey it! —GT

“All have sinned and are not good enough to share God's divine greatness. They were made right with God by his grace. This is a free gift. They were made right with God by being made free from sin through Jesus Christ.” Romans 3:23-24

PRAYER: Father, I know I can't save myself. I accept Your gift of salvation. In Jesus' name. Amen.
