罪

罪
聖經閱讀：約翰一書1:5-10 現代中譯本|合和本
2013年11月5日(二)

我認識一個人，他已經吸毒好幾年了，到後來，他終於明白，他必須停止吸毒並將生命交託給上帝。對這個人來說，要他改變生命並放棄毒品是困難的，就算在他決定為上帝而活之後，他仍然被引誘去吸毒。他必須每天倚靠上帝來幫助他。 　世上的每一個人都犯了罪，我們每一天都面對試探，如果我們繼續過著罪惡的生活，就會跟上帝隔絶。但是，今天的經文告訴我們如何可以親近上帝。 　第9節說：「如果我們向上帝認罪，他是信實公義的，他要赦免我們的罪，洗淨我們所犯的各種過錯。」如果我們想要親近上帝，就必須認罪，然後上帝將會赦免我們。 　也許今天你正在罪中掙扎著，就求上帝赦免你並幫助你遠離罪惡，你可以信靠上帝來幫助你、堅固你。—JR* 「如果我們生活在光明中，正如上帝在光明中，我們就彼此有團契，而他的兒子耶穌的血洗淨我們一切的罪。」 約翰一書1:7b 禱告：上帝，我信靠祢來赦免我的罪。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (尤榮輝譯)

Sin
Bible Reading: 1 John 1:5-10
Tuesday, November 5, 2013

I knew a man who took drugs for many years. Finally, he realized that he needed to stop using drugs and give his life to God. It was hard for this man to change his life and give up drugs. Even after he made the decision to live for God, he was still tempted to take drugs. He had to depend on God to help him every day. 　Every person on earth has sinned. We all face temptations every day. If we continue to live a life of sin, we will be separated from God. But our Bible Reading today tells us how we can stay close to God. 　Verse 9 says, “But if we confess our sins, God will forgive us. We can trust God to do this. He always does what is right. He will make us clean from all the wrong things we have done.” If we want to be close to God, we need to confess our sins. Then God will forgive us. 　Maybe you are struggling with sin today. Ask God to forgive you and help you stay away from sin. You can trust God to help and strengthen you. —JR* “If we live in the light, we have fellowship with each other, and the blood sacrifice of Jesus, God’s Son, washes away every sin and makes us clean.” 1 John 1:7b PRAYER: God, I trust You to forgive my sins. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
