上帝是真實的

上帝是真實的

今天，這世界還是有些人不相信上帝，但是，我知道上帝是真實的。我怎麼知道呢？有兩個方法讓我知道上帝是真實的。 　首先，聖經說上帝是真實的。今天的經文告訴我上帝在創造世界時的能力和智慧，使徒行傳17:24a說：「這位創造天、地，和其中萬物的上帝乃是天地的主。」 　第二，上帝的創造告訴我們祂是真實的。創世記1:1a說：「上帝創造天地。」之後，上帝創造了太陽、月亮、星星和所有的動物；最後，上帝創造了人。在詩篇19:1，我們讀到：「諸天宣佈上帝的榮耀；穹蒼傳揚他的作為。」 　我希望你也相信上帝是真實的，而且不要做愚昧人，詩篇14:1a說：「狂傲人自言自語：沒有上帝。」今天就去告訴別人，上帝是真實的。—JR* 「沒有人見過上帝，只有獨子，就是跟父親最親密的那一位，把他啟示出來。」 約翰福音1:18 禱告：親愛的天父，我真高興祢是真實的。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (SSL譯/台南聖教會英語團契)

God is Real
Bible Reading: John 11:1-5,38-44
Thursday, January 31, 2013

Some people in the world today do not believe in God. But I know that God is real. How do I know this? Here are two ways that I know God is real. 　First, the Bible says that God is real. Our Bible verses today tell me about God’s power and wisdom as He was creating the world. Acts 17:24a tells us, “He is the God who made the whole earth and everything in it. He is the Lord of the land and the sky.” 　Second, God’s creation shows us that He is real. Genesis 1:1a says, “God created the sky and the earth.” Then God created the sun, moon, stars and all the animals. Finally, God created people. In Psalm 19:1 we read, “The heavens tell about the glory of God. The skies announce what his hands have made.” 　I hope that you, too, believe God is real. And don’t be foolish. “Only fools think there is no God” (Psalm 14:1a). Tell other people today that God is real. —JR* “No one has ever seen God. The only Son is the one who has shown us what God is like. He is himself God and is very close to the Father.” John 1:18 PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I am so glad that You are real. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
