对今日诗句的想法
保罗提醒我们,洗礼并不仅仅只是浸入水中,而是在洗礼中与主耶稣的死、埋葬、复活相联合。主耶稣为拯救我们所做的,已经与我们共享。我们已经向着罪死去,复活成为新造的人,圣灵洁净我们,使我成为圣洁并加添我们力量。我们已经从罪的刑罚与势力中释放得自由。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Paul reminds us that our baptism was more than just a dunking in water. In baptism, we share in Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection. What he did to save us, we now get to share with him in doing. We died to sin and were raised to be a new person, cleansed and made holy, empowered and indwelled by the Holy Spirit. We have been set free from the power and penalty of sin and the limits of our mortal physical bodies. This experience we had with Jesus is our physical connection, our assurance of our future spiritual glory with him! Why? Since "we have been united with him like this in his death, we will certainly also be united with him in his resurrection."
我的祷告
天父啊,感谢你赐予我在主耶稣里的新生命。我衷心地献上感恩,感谢你的恩典遮盖我的罪。愿你加添我力量,使我的生命脱离罪的辖制。愿你饶恕我曾与罪为伍。愿你赐予我强烈的感官,憎恶一切污秽我灵魂或使我内心偏离你旨意的事。奉主耶稣之名祈求,阿们!
My Prayer...
Father, thank you for giving me new life in Jesus. I am truly thankful that your grace covers my guilt, makes me holy, and gives me assurance of my future. I ask for the Holy Spirit's power to live my life in freedom from sin. Please forgive me for allowing my passion to slip into mediocrity and sin. Give me a strong sense of revulsion toward anything that would pollute my soul or distract my heart from your will. I refuse to be a slave to sin, and I choose to build my life on my promised future with you. In the name of Jesus, I thank you and recommit my life to you today. Amen.
