聖經閱讀：約翰一書2:18-29 現代中譯本|合和本
2015年2月3日(二)
約翰寫作〈約翰一書〉來鼓勵基督徒。在今天閱讀的經文中，約翰繼續談到上帝賜給基督徒的美好事情，約翰鼓勵人們要持續相信所受的教導──就是耶穌真的是上帝的兒子。為什麼呢？這樣他們才可以跟上帝保持親近。在第25節，約翰告訴我們耶穌對基督徒的應許：「這就是基督親自應許給我們的永恆生命。」這個經節給了我們繼續跟從耶穌的盼望，我們將會得到與上帝同在的永生。你是否可以想像這會是多麼美好的事情？ 這個應許大概是上帝最大的應許了，這也是為什麼上帝要差派耶穌到世上，也是為什麼上帝要設計一個赦免我們罪的方法，也是為什麼上帝希望我們成為堅強的基督徒。祂希望我們永遠、永遠與祂同住！ 今天就花時間思考與上帝永遠同住的事情，謝謝祂賜下永生的應許。 －JK 「是的，孩子們，你們要活在他的生命裏；這樣，在他顯現、再來的日子，我們可以坦然無懼，用不著躲藏。」 約翰一書2:28
禱告：天父，謝謝祢賜下與祢共享永生的應許。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

God's Promises (6)
Bible Reading: 1 John 2:18-29

John wrote the book of 1 John to encourage Christians. In our Bible Reading, John continues to talk about the good things that God gives to Christians. John encourages the people to keep believing what they were taught — that Jesus is truly the Son of God. Why? So they could stay close to God. In verse 25, John tells us what Jesus promised to Christians. “And this is what the Son promised us — eternal life.” This verse gives us hope to continue following Jesus. We will receive eternal life with God. Can you imagine how wonderful that will be? This promise is probably God’s greatest promise. That’s why God sent Jesus to the world. That’s why God planned a way to forgive our sins. That’s why God wants us to be strong Christians. He wants us to live with Him forever and ever! Spend some time today thinking about living forever with God. Thank Him for His promise of eternal life. —JK “Yes, my dear children, live in him. If we do this, we can be without fear on the day when Christ comes again. We will not need to hide and be ashamed when he comes.” 1 John 2:28
PRAYER: Father, thank You for Your promise of eternal life with You. In Jesus’ name. Amen. |
