2015年的計劃 (2)
聖經閱讀：加拉太書5:19-25 現代中譯本|合和本
2015年1月2日(五)

在今天讀的經文中，保羅列出一些我們不該做，以及一些該做的事情。如果我們願意聽從保羅的忠告，就可以在2015年成為更堅強的基督徒。 　保羅列出一些充滿罪惡的事作為開頭：性犯罪、崇拜偶像、行巫術、仇恨別人和惹麻煩，以及「嫉妒、酗酒、狂歡宴樂，和其他類似的事」（第21a節）。保羅繼續在這一節說，做這些事的人「一定不能成為上帝國的子民。」 　接著保羅送給我們一系列生命中該擁有的品德：「博愛、喜樂、和平、忍耐、仁慈、良善、忠信、溫柔、節制」（第22-23節）。屬於耶穌的人會讓聖靈在他們的生命中結出這些果子。 　今年，你願意在生命中擁有博愛、喜樂、和平、忍耐、仁慈、良善、忠信、溫柔、節制嗎？ －JK 「那些屬於基督耶穌的人已經把他們本性上的一切邪情慾望都釘死在十字架上了。」 加拉太書5:24 禱告：天父，我願今年在我的生命中結出好果子。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (尤榮輝譯)

Plans for 2015 (2)
Bible Reading: Galatians 5:19-25
Friday, January 2, 2015

In our Bible Reading today, Paul lists some things that we should not do and some things that we should do. If we want to follow Paul's advice, we can become stronger Christians in 2015. 　Paul begins by listing things that are sinful: sexual sins, worshiping false gods, practicing witchcraft, hating people and causing trouble, “being filled with envy, getting drunk, having wild parties, and doing other things like this” (verse 21a). Paul continues in this verse to say that people who do those things “will not have a part in God's kingdom.” 　Then Paul gives us a list of things that we should have in our lives: “love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control” (verses 22-23). People who belong to Jesus will allow the Holy Spirit to produce those things in their lives. 　Will you have love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control in your life this year? —JK “Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified their sinful self. They have given up their old selfish feelings and the evil things they wanted to do.” Galatians 5:24 PRAYER: Father, I want to produce good things in my life this year. In Jesus' name. Amen.
