凡不义的事都是罪。神圣的爱建立在圣洁和公义之上,不能与不义并存。爱是不喜欢不义,只喜欢真理。耶稣就是真理。All unrighteousness is sin. God’s holy love is built upon holiness and justice; it cannot coexist with unrighteousness. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. Jesus is the truth.信了耶稣之后,我们会打着“爱人”的旗号,轻忽罪,纵容自己和他人的过犯,以为没有关系…因着不信真理,会喜爱并顺从不义,成为抵挡真理的,落在咒诅之下。All unrighteousness is sin. God’s holy love is built upon holiness and justice; it cannot coexist with unrighteousness. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. Jesus is the truth.
当耶稣来到地上,传讲天国的真理:不要贪爱钱财,不要贪图虚浮的荣耀,要否定自己,要爱人如己…真理跟旧人的思想是对立的,肉体很不舒服,人恨不得要除掉他。When Jesus came to earth, He proclaimed the truth of the Kingdom: do not love money, do not seek empty glory, deny yourself, love your neighbour as yourself. Truth opposes the thinking of the old self, and the flesh finds it uncomfortable—people even wanted to get rid of Him.但若有人对我们行不公义的事,我们又会愤怒地拿出真理的大棒子去定人的罪…神的爱,与人的爱是何等的不同。Yet when someone wrongs us, we can quickly take up the “rod of truth” in anger to judge and condemn them. God’s love is so very different from human love.
只有一位是义的,就是耶稣自己。他恨恶罪,却怜悯罪人,活出真理的公义和慈爱,义的代替不义的,舍了自己的生命,赦免我们一切的罪和不义,使我们可以坦然无惧地来到天父的面前。There is only One who is righteous—Jesus Himself. He hates sin yet has compassion on sinners, living out the righteousness and mercy of truth. The Righteous One took the place of the unrighteous, gave up His own life, and forgave all our sins and unrighteousness so that we can come boldly before the Father.主啊,求你赦免我常常自以为义,离弃你,走在通向死亡的路上,是你的爱一次次拯救了我!Lord, forgive me for my self-righteousness, for abandoning You and walking down the path that leads to death. It is Your love that has saved me again and again!
主,我宣告我相信你的真理,我的旧人是卖给罪的,是不义的,是没有一点良善的!主啊,你有永生之道,我还跟从谁呢?Lord, I declare my faith in Your truth. My old self was sold as a slave to sin, unrighteous, and without any goodness! Lord, You have the words of eternal life—where else can I go? 我不要继续在老路上徘徊,求圣灵掌管我,渴慕真理,信真理,恨恶罪恶,丧掉自己,单以得着耶稣基督为至宝,行出真理,得着自由,使天父的心得喜乐!I do not want to keep wandering on the old path. Holy Spirit, take control of me. Give me a hunger for the truth, a faith in the truth, a hatred for sin, and a heart that loses itself in order to gain Christ as my only treasure. Let me live out the truth, walk in freedom, and bring joy to the Father’s heart!
