3月10日  不够好 Not Good Enough

3月10日  不够好

不是有自己因律法而得的义。——腓立比书3:9

人们为寻求天国之路尝试过各种方法。一些人推崇善举。他们说“我若做足够多的善事，便可以进天堂。因为上帝会喜悦我手做的工”。确实做善事是极好的行为，但我们无法做到尽善尽美，以讨上帝的满意。因为上帝是完全的，人若要进天国，需要达到绝对的完全，然而这是人无法达到的境界。因此我们要信靠主耶稣，这是进入天国的唯一通路。人若不通过耶稣之道，便无法进入天国。

每日祷告

全能的上帝，在你的圣爱面前我是何等的不配，而你竟还赐下救主耶稣给我！

 

March 10: Not Good Enough

. . . not having mine own righteousness . . .
—Philippians 3:9

People go through many doors which do not lead to the Kingdom of God. Some try the door of good works. They say, “I can get to heaven if I only do enough good things, because God will honor all the good things I do.” It’s wonderful to do good things, but we cannot do enough good things to satisfy God. God demands perfection, and we’re not perfect. If we’re going to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, we have to be absolutely perfect. You ask, “Well, how will I ever be perfect?” We need to be clothed in the righteousness of the Lord Jesus. There is one door to the Kingdom and it’s Jesus. And we will never get to heaven unless we go His way.

Prayer for the day:

Almighty God, there is nothing I can do to be worthy of Your love, and yet You have given me Jesus—my Savior and Lord!
