【加5:6】原来在基督耶稣里，受割礼不受割礼全无功效；惟独使人生发仁爱的信心才有功效。【Galatians5:6】For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.

割礼本是神与亚伯拉罕立约的记号，肉身上的割礼不能使我们称义。Circumcision was originally a sign of the covenant God made with Abraham, but physical circumcision cannot justify us. 如今在耶稣基督里，受割礼不受割礼，一点不能使我们的生命更新改变，惟独使人生发仁爱的信心才有功效。Now, in Jesus Christ, whether one is circumcised or not has no power to transform our lives. What truly matters is faith expressing itself through love. 保罗再次告诉我们，神所看重的，不是外面的行律法，而是里面的信心，且是生发仁爱的信心才有功效。Paul again reminds us that what God values is not merely outward law-keeping, but an inward faith – a faith that works through love.

外在的行律法，不能使我们有信心和爱心。但真正的信心，必定会生发出爱的行动。Outward observance of the law cannot produce faith and love in us. But true faith will inevitably lead to acts of love. 正如保罗说，我现在活着是因信神的儿子而活，他是爱我，为我舍己。As Paul said, “The life I now live, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.”因着真知道神儿子舍命的大爱，保罗不再为自己而活，而是献上自己，甘心舍命，一生为主而活，为神的国度而活。Because he truly understood the sacrificial love of the Son of God, Paul no longer lived for himself but offered himself willingly, laying down his life to live for the Lord and for the kingdom of God.

主啊，求你赦免我，说自己信耶稣，却在环境中体贴自己的意思，爱自己，实质上是信自己，不信神。Lord, forgive me for claiming to believe in Jesus, yet in difficult circumstances, I follow my own desires and love myself, essentially trusting in myself rather than in You. 没有爱的，仍在死中。爱是由信而生，爱是圣灵的果子。Whoever does not love remains in death. Love is born of faith, and love is the fruit of the Holy Spirit. 主啊，是你舍命先爱了我，圣灵将神的爱浇灌在我心中，Lord, You loved me first, laying down Your life for me, and through the Holy Spirit, You have poured out God’s love into my heart. 我信自己何等不配，你的救恩何等浩大，领受爱，才能去爱…I see how unworthy I am and how great Your salvation truly is. Only by receiving this love can I learn to love…

主啊，带领我常思想你的十字架上，惟有你在我还作罪人时，为我死，Lord, lead me to continually reflect on Your cross, where You died for me while I was still a sinner. 你舍命的行动，显明你无条件的爱是何等长阔高深…Your sacrificial act reveals the breadth, length, height, and depth of Your unconditional love. 我拿什么来报答你的厚恩呢？不是靠自己做好，而是否定自己，丧掉自己，靠着圣灵，因信争战，What can I offer in return for such boundless grace? Not by relying on my own efforts to be good, but by denying myself, losing myself, and, by the Spirit, fighting the good fight of faith. 领受十架上的爱，去行爱神爱人的道，荣耀耶稣的名。May I receive the love poured out on the cross and walk in the way of loving God and loving others, bringing glory to the name of Jesus.（付传道Pastor Fu）
