与神和好
Reconciliation
因为我们做仇敌的时候,且藉着神儿子的死,得与神和好。
——罗5:12
For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son . . .
—Romans 5:10
“和好”的字面解释是“带来关系的改变”,也就是说,将原本应该在一起的两部分重新联合在一起。圣经上说人类是神的仇敌,或许你会说你不是神的仇敌,但是根据圣经上记载,除基督外,我们总是有意或者无意与神为敌。“与神和好”意味着“重新修复关系,与神相交”。这就是基督在十字架上成就的事,多么振奋人心啊。
The word “reconcile” means literally “bring into a changed relationship.” It means to bring together two parties who should have been together all along. The Bible speaks of the human race as enemies of God. You may say that you are no “enemy” of God, but according to Scripture we are either passive or active enemies of God, apart from Christ. Reconciliation means “brought back into full relationship and fellowship with God.” This is what Christ accomplished on the cross. What a thrilling thought!
