上帝透過祂的恩典赦免我們的罪；上帝藉著差派耶穌賜下祂的恩典。約翰福音1:17-18節說：「……恩典和真理是藉著耶穌基督來的。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。」所有人都犯了罪，也因為我們犯罪，我們必須受懲罰。罪的刑罰是死，並且與上帝隔絶。唯一可以將我們從刑罰中拯救出來的方法，就是有一個無罪的人代替我們接受懲罰，而這個人就是耶穌！祂為我們接受懲罰。羅馬書6:3-7告訴我們如何透過洗禮讓耶穌成為我們的救主，並且使我們的生命跟祂連結。當我們將耶穌看作是生命的主和救主來跟隨祂、順服祂時，我們就領受了上帝的恩典和赦罪之恩。 如果我們可以做任何事來將自己從罪裡拯救出來，那麼上帝就不必差派耶穌了。跟隨並順服耶穌是我們「唯一」可以領受上帝恩典的方法。 －MK 「所以，我們應該大膽地來到上帝恩典的寶座前，好領受慈愛和恩典，作為我們及時的幫助。」 希伯來書4:16
禱告：上帝，因著耶穌代替我接受罪的懲罰，我讚美祢。奉主的名，阿們！

Grace Through Jesus
Bible Reading: 2 Timothy 1:9-10

God forgives our sins through His grace. God gave His grace to us by sending Jesus. John 1:17-18a says, “...but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. The only Son is who has shown us what God is like.” All people have sinned, and because we sin, we must be punished. The punishment for our sins is death and separation from God. The only way we can be saved from the punishment is for a person with no sins to be punished in place of us. That person is Jesus! He accepted the punishment for us. Romans 6:3-7 tells us how we can make Jesus our Savior and connect our life with Him through baptism. When we follow and obey Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we receive God’s grace and forgiveness for our sins. If we could do anything to save ourselves from the punishment for our sins, then God did not need to send Jesus. Following and obeying Jesus is the ONLY way we can receive God’s grace. —MK “With Jesus as our high priest, we can feel free to come before God’s throne where there is grace. There we receive mercy and kindness to help us when we need it.” Hebrews 4:16
PRAYER: God, I praise You because Jesus accepted the punishment for my sins. In His name. Amen. |
