亚当的过犯与神的恩赐/ADAM’S SIN AND GOD’S GRACIOUS GIFT

【译文】 

杜克 权写道：“

在道成肉身中—
永恒者变得终有一死
全能者变得微不足道
无敌者变得不堪一击
无限者变得束手束脚
君王变得泪流满面
自存者变得有不时之需
不巧者变得多愁善感
—这都是为了我们的救赎

这些强有力的属灵真理，如果您相信它，您的生命就会得到改变。在人类历史的长河中，我们经历过一系列的本土和全球大流行，新冠病毒是其中之一。然而，相比我们对来自于神的宽恕和新生命的需求，新冠病毒显得苍白无力。而这，通过耶稣以及耶稣为您所做的一切成为可能。您相信吗？

圣灵开启您属灵的眼睛，让您看见其把神的话语应用到您的生命中。今天的圣经章节摘自于【罗马书】第五章第15-17节：“只是过犯不如恩赐，若因一人的过犯，众人都死了，何况神的恩典，与那因耶稣基督一人恩典中的赏赐，岂不更加倍地临到众人吗？因一人犯罪就定罪，也不如恩赐，原来审判是由一人而定罪，恩赐乃是由许多过犯而称义。若因一人的过犯，死就因这一人作了王，何况那些受洪恩又蒙所赐之义的，岂不更要因耶稣基督一人在生命中作王吗？”

休憩之时，愿您明白，无论这个世界和您的生活发生了什么，神都与您同在，并保守您安然入梦。神祝福您。

亲切的问候，

杰夫牧师

Those are powerful spiritual truths that can make a life-changing difference if you believe them. COVID-19 is another in a long line of both local and international pandemics humans have dealt with throughout our history. But it pales in the face of our need for forgiveness and new life from God. That’s become possible through Jesus and what he did on your behalf. Do you believe it?

The Holy Spirit will open your eyes to see how he will apply this Scripture to your life. It’s from Romans 5:15-17, “But there is a great difference between Adam’s sin and God’s gracious gift. For the sin of this one man, Adam, brought death to many. But even greater is God’s wonderful grace and his gift of forgiveness to many through this other man, Jesus Christ. And the result of God’s gracious gift is very different from the result of that one man’s sin. For Adam’s sin led to condemnation, but God’s free gift leads to our being made right with God, even though we are guilty of many sins. For the sin of this one man, Adam, caused death to rule over many. But even greater is God’s wonderful grace and his gift of righteousness, for all who receive it will live in triumph over sin and death through this one man, Jesus Christ.”

Regardless of everything that’s happened today in the world and in your life, God’s with you to give you good rest. God bless you.

Kind regards,

Pastor Jeff
