聖經閱讀：羅馬書3:22-24 現代中譯本|合和本
2015年1月25日(日)

當我寫完一本書時，我會小心地再讀幾遍來看看有沒有錯誤。我經常會找到一些錯誤，而有時候一些錯誤直等到書出版後才發現！那時我真希望可以早一點找到這些錯誤，好讓我可以在書印出來前修正它們。但是，如果在書裡發現了一個小錯誤，這並不代表整本書就是不好，我不會因為發現了一個錯誤就把書扔掉。 　上帝造我們是完美的，只是我們犯了錯，使我們不再完美。我們的罪使我們與上帝隔絶，但上帝會遺棄我們、忘了我們嗎？不，祂愛我們並希望幫助我們。今天的經文告訴我們，所有人都犯了罪（第23節），然而人們可以「藉著基督耶穌救贖他們，使他們跟他有合宜的關係」（第24節）。 　上帝希望跟你有一個親密的關係，這就是祂差派耶穌來為你的罪受死的原因。請接受祂白白的救恩禮物並天天跟隨祂。 －RB 「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3:24 禱告：上帝，我願永遠記得祢愛我；感謝祢的赦罪之恩。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (尤榮輝譯)

Bible Reading: Romans 3:22-24
Sunday, January 25, 2015

When I finish writing a book, I carefully read it to see if there are any mistakes. I usually find some mistakes, and sometimes I don't find a mistake until after the book is published! Then I wish I could have found the mistake sooner so I could fix it before the book was printed. But if I find one small mistake in my book, that doesn't mean that the entire book is bad. I won't throw away the books because I found one mistake. 　God created us perfect. But we make mistakes, and then we are not perfect anymore. Our sins separate us from God. Does God want to throw us away and forget about us? No, He loves us and wants to help us. Our Bible verses today tell us that all people have sinned (verse 23) and that we can be “made right with God by being made free from our sin through Jesus Christ” (verse 24). 　God wants to have a close relationship with you. That's why He sent Jesus to die for your sins. Accept His free gift of salvation and follow Jesus every day. —RB “They are made right with God by his grace. This is a free gift.” Romans 3:24a PRAYER: God, I want to always remember that You love me. Thank You for Your forgiveness. In Jesus' name. Amen.
