神不偏待人/FOR THERE IS NO PARTIALITY WITH GOD

【译文】

亚历山大·弗莱明爵士（Alexander Fleming）在介绍他新发现的青霉素药物时，警告人们服用的药物剂量不可过少。他说：“剂量不足，将导致存留在身体内的细菌产生耐药性。”即便在当时，他已经了解到，这些具有耐药性的免疫细菌有可能“被传给其他人，如此一来，那些对青霉素疗法漫不经心的人，有可能需要对他人的死亡担负责任。” 在我们属灵的生命当中，许多人把宗教信仰如同儿戏般对待，这二者之间何其相似乃尔。他们接受的宗教信仰的那部分足够他们对真实生活具备“免疫”能力即可。还有许多人参与宗教活动，只不过是让其良知得以暂时的安抚罢了。

圣灵不懈地按照耶稣的样式来塑造您，祂藉着圣经经文来作祂的工作。今天的经文来自于【罗马书】第二章第14-16节: “没有律法的外邦人，若顺着本性行律法上的事，他们虽然没有律法，自己就是自己的律法。这是显出律法的功用刻在他们心里，他们是非之心同作见证、并且他们的思念互相较量，或以为是，或以为非。就在神藉耶稣基督审判人隐秘事的日子、照着我的福音所言。” 

休憩之际，愿您知晓 神与您同在。神祝福您。晚安。

亲切的问候

【Original】

Sir Alexander Fleming, upon introducing his newly discovered drug, penicillin, warned against taking too little of it. “An underdose,” he said “would permit germs to remain in the system thereby allowing one to build up an immunity to the drug.” He understood even then that these immune germs could be “passed on to other individuals so that the thoughtless person playing with penicillin treatments may be responsible for the death of another” if not himself as well. Something similar to this takes place in the spiritual realm where lots of people appear to be playing with religion. They seem to take in just enough of it to become "immune" to the real thing. There are lots of people who attend just enough religious services to temporarily quiet their conscience.

God the Holy Spirit is in the process of making you more like Jesus and he uses the Scriptures to do it. The Scripture section is Romans 2:14-16, "Even Gentiles, who do not have God’s written law, show that they know his law when they instinctively obey it, even without having heard it. They demonstrate that God’s law is written in their hearts, for their own conscience and thoughts either accuse them or tell them they are doing right. And this is the message I proclaim—that the day is coming when God, through Christ Jesus, will judge everyone’s secret life."

know that God's with you as your rest. God bless you.

Kind regards,
