上帝恨惡罪

上帝恨惡罪

　亞拿尼亞和他的妻子撒非喇賣了一些田產，他們把所得的一部份錢捐給教會，而將一些錢留給自已，但是亞拿尼亞和撒非喇卻說他們把所有錢都捐給了教會，他們兩個人都對上帝說謊。
因為他們的謊話，亞拿尼亞和撒非喇都死了。第11節告訴我們，「全教會和其他聽見這事的人都非常害怕。」我相信有很多人被這件事嚇到了，但是上帝是希望教會知道祂不會容忍罪惡。
上帝非常愛我們！祂要我們停止犯罪，為什麼呢？因為我們生命中的罪讓我們跟上帝隔絶。上帝想要親近我們，好讓我們可以享受跟祂的關係。
當你被誘惑去違背上帝時，請記得祂恨惡罪，你要請求祂使你剛強，幫助你抵擋誘惑。上帝永遠不會讓你失望！ －SH*

「他寬容你們，因為他不願意有一個人沈淪，卻要人人悔改。」 彼得後書3:9b

禱告：天父，求祢幫助我改變自己、不再犯罪。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

God Hates Sin
Bible Reading: Acts 5:1-11
Sunday, June 26, 2016

　Ananias and his wife, Sapphira, sold some land. They gave part of the money they received to the church and kept some money for themselves. But Ananias and Sapphira said that they gave all the money to the church. Both of them lied to God.
Because of their lies, Ananias and Sapphira died. Verse 11 tells us that then the “whole church and all the other people who heard about this were filled with fear.” I am sure many people were shocked by this, but God wanted the church to know that He will not tolerate sin.
God loves us so much! He wants us to stop sinning. Why? Because sin in our lives separates us from God. God wants to be close to us so we can enjoy our relationship with Him.
When you are tempted to disobey God, remember that he hates sin. Ask Him to keep you strong and help you resist the temptation. God will never fail you! —SH*

“...God is being patient with you. He doesn't want anyone to be lost. He wants everyone to change their ways and stop sinning.” 2 Peter 3:9b

PRAYER: Father, help me to change and to stop sinning. In Jesus' name. Amen.
