聖經閱讀：創世記3:1-13 現代中譯本|合和本
2016年5月2日(一)

今天閱讀的經文告訴我們，亞當和夏娃不遵從上帝。上帝吩咐亞當和夏娃不要吃園子裡一棵特別的樹的果子，但是有一條蛇（撒但）引誘夏娃去吃了那棵樹的果子，她分一些給亞當，他也吃了。亞當和夏娃都犯了罪，羅馬書5:12a說：「罪從一個人進入世界，因著罪，死接踵而來。」
但是上帝愛亞當和夏娃，祂並不希望他們永遠與祂分離，所以上帝計畫讓耶穌來到世上並且死在十字架上。當耶穌死去時，祂就代替亞當與夏娃、也代替了所有人承受犯罪的懲罰。
當我們悔改並且順服耶穌時，祂就成為我們的救主。上帝赦免我們的罪並且透過耶穌賜給我們新生命，我希望你是一個跟隨並且遵從耶穌的人，如果不是的話，你也可以擁有新生命，只要悔改並且順服上帝在你生命中的計畫，這樣你就可以永遠與祂同住！—DJH*

「因為你們已經跟基督一起死了，你們的生命跟他一同藏在上帝裡面。基督是你們的真生命；當他顯現的時候，你們也要跟他一起顯現，分享他的榮耀。」 歌羅西書3:3-4

禱告：天父，謝謝祢愛我並且賜給我在耶穌裡的新生命。奉主的名，阿們！

A New Life
Bible Reading: Genesis 3:1-13
Monday, May 2, 2016

　Our Bible verses today tell us that Adam
and Eve
disobeyed
God. God had
told Adam
and Eve they should not eat from one special tree in the garden. But a snake (the devil) tempted Eve, and she ate from the tree. Then
she gave some to Adam, and he ate, too. Adam and Eve sinned. Romans 5:12a says, “Sin came into the world because of what one man did. And with sin came death.”
But God loved Adam and Eve. He did not want them to be separated from Him forever. So God made a plan for Jesus to come to earth and die on a cross. When Jesus died, He accepted the punishment for Adam and Eve's sin and for all people's sin.
When we repent of our sin and obey Jesus, He becomes our Savior. God forgives our sins and gives us new life through Jesus. I hope that you are following and obeying Jesus. If not, you can have a new life, too. Repent of your sins and obey God's plan for your life. Then you will live forever with Him! —DJH*

“Your old sinful self has died, and your new life is kept with Christ in glory. Yes, Christ is now your life, and when he comes again, you will share in his glory.” Colossians 3:3-4

PRAYER: Father, thank You for loving me and for my new life in Jesus. In His name. Amen.
