清晰的信息
A Clear Message
耶和华的律法全备…
—诗篇19:7
The law of the Lord is perfect . .
—Psalm 19:7
圣经是基督教的宪法。它不可私意解读就像美国宪法不可私意解读一样。正如宪法无一例外地包含了所有生活在其规定领域之下的人一样,圣经也无一例外地包括所有生活在其规定领域之下的人 。圣经里有上帝关于属灵世界的律法。我们透过圣经 清楚得知更多有关上帝的信息。自然规律告诉我们有关上帝的信息,但是还不太明确。它不能告诉我们上帝的慈爱和恩典。我们里面的内心确实让我们知道有关上帝的事,但还是不完整。 唯一能够让我们准确无误地找到上帝的信息之处,就是在圣经里。
The Bible is the constitution of Christianity. Just as the United States Constitution is not of any private interpretation, neither is the Bible of any private interpretation. Just as the Constitution includes all who live under its stated domain, without exception, so the Bible includes all who live under its stated domain, without exception. God’s laws for the spiritual world are found in the Bible. Whatever else there may be that tells us of God, it is more clearly told in the Bible. Nature in her laws tells us of God, but the message is not too clear. It tells us nothing of the love and grace of God. Conscience, in our inmost being, does tell us of God, but the message is fragmentary. The only place we can find a clear, unmistakable message is in the Word of God, which we call the Bible.
今日祷告
主啊,求祢让世人依照你公平而完备的律法生活。教导我在读经的时候,能够因着耶稣基督的爱去遵从你的诫命。
Prayer for the day
How I pray that the world would live by Your law—which bears no discrimination but is perfect. Teach me as I read the Bible to follow Your commandments which are not impossible to obey because of Jesus Christ’s love.
