讀上帝的話

讀上帝的話
聖經閱讀：約翰一書2:1-6 現代中譯本|合和本
2016年8月20日(六)

　烘焙東西時，你必須按照說明書的指示小心操作才不會有問題。小時候，我試著自己作香蕉麵包，我只大略看了一下食譜就以為知道怎麼做了，但是在完成後，吃起來卻很可怕！後來我終於明白，我加的是蘇打汽水而不是烘焙用的蘇打粉！
聖經是我們人生的使用說明書，我們必須仔細閱讀、查考並且遵行，假如我們這麼做的話，就會更認識上帝，以及祂希望我們做的事。當從聖經有所學習時，我們必須將學到東西應用在日常生活中。
在今天閱讀的經文中，約翰告訴我們：「遵守上帝的道的人，他對上帝的愛就達到完全」（第5a節）。當我們明白上帝的話並照著做時，我們就會更愛上帝，也能夠向人分享這份愛。
你每天都有閱讀並查考上帝的話嗎？今天就研讀聖經並遵行上帝說的話，然後將上帝的愛分享給周遭的人。 —AB

「如果我們遵守上帝的命令，我們就知道我們認識他。」 約翰一書2:3

禱告：天父，我今天要花時間研讀並查考祢的話。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

(李信儀譯)

Read God's Word
Bible Reading: 1 John 2:1-6
Saturday, August 20, 2016

　When you bake something, you need to follow the instructions carefully so it will turn out right. When I was young, I tried to make banana bread by myself. I glanced at the recipe and thought I knew what I was doing. When it was done, it tasted awful. Then I realized I had added soda pop instead of baking soda!
The Bible is our instruction book for life. We need to read and study it carefully and then obey it. If we do that, we will learn more about God and what He wants us to do. When we learn something from the Bible, we need to apply that to our everyday lives.
In our Bible Reading today, John tells us that “when we obey God's teaching, his love is truly working in us” (verse 5a). When we know God's Word and obey it, we will be able to love God more and to share that love with other people.
Are you reading and studying God's Word every day? Read from the Bible today and obey what God says. Then share God's love with people around you. —AB

“If we obey what God has told us to do, then we are sure that we know him.” 1 John 2:3

PRAYER: Father, I want to spend time reading and studying Your Word today. In Jesus' name. Amen.
