律法

律法
聖經閱讀：詩篇19:1-14
2012年11月13日(二)

想像在一個人人可以自訂法律的世界，會發生什麼事呢？有人也許會說偷錢是可以的，其他人也許認為殺人是正當的。 　我們自己訂法律是危險的，而且令人困惑；正因為這樣，所以上帝為我們創造了律法。上帝的律法是絕對的，意思是上帝的律法從不改變。上帝的律法在每個地方，或對每個人來說，都是一樣的。 　今天經文的第7節說：「上主的法律完備，使人的生命更新；上主的命令可靠」。如果所有人都能遵從上帝的律法，我們就會更快樂，彼此的相處也會更和睦，而且每個人都會知道什麼是對的、什麼是錯的。 　今天，就花時間來讀一些上帝的律法。在以下的經節裡，你可以讀到上帝的律法：出埃及記20章、馬太福音5-6章、雅各書2-3章。請你學習並且遵行上帝的律法。—GT 「上主的法則公正，使順從的人喜樂；上主的訓誨透徹，使人的心眼明亮。」 詩篇19:8 禱告：上帝，幫助我永遠遵行為祢的律法。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (SDL譯/台南聖教會英語團契)

Rules
Bible Reading: Psalm 19:1-14
Tuesday, November 13, 2012

Think about a world where every person made up his own rules. What would happen? One person might say that it is okay to steal money. Another person might think it is right to kill people. 　It is dangerous and confusing to make up our own rules. That’s why God created rules for us. God’s rules are absolutes. That means God’s rules never change. They are always the same for everyone, everywhere. 　Verse 7 of our Bible Reading says, “The Lord’s teachings are perfect. They give strength to God’s people. The Lord’s agreement can be trusted.” If all people would follow God’s rules, we would be happier and get along with each other. Everyone would know what is right and what is wrong. 　Take time today to read some of God’s rules in the Bible. Here are some places where you can read His rules: Exodus, chapter 20; Matthew, chapters 5 and 6; and James, chapters 2 and 3. Learn His rules and obey them. —GT “The Lord’s laws are right. They make people happy. The Lord’s commands are good. They show people the right way to live.” Psalm 19:8 PRAYER: God, help me to always obey Your rules. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
