诗篇98篇告诉我们,神“记念祂向以色列所发的慈爱和所凭的信实”。这并不是说祂曾忘记祂的百姓。而是说,祂照着祂圣约的应许采取行动。Psalm 98 tells us that God "remembered His love and His faithfulness to Israel." This does not mean He had forgotten His people. Rather, He acted according to His covenant promises. 纵观以色列的历史,神的百姓常常亏欠祂,但祂从未向他们失信。祂坚定不移的慈爱始终不变,祂的信实世世代代长存。Throughout Israel's history, God's people often failed Him, yet He never failed them. His steadfast love remained constant, and His faithfulness endured from generation to generation.
祂的慈爱最伟大的彰显,就是差遣祂的儿子耶稣基督,在十字架上受死并从死里复活。The greatest expression of His love was sending His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross and rise again.神藉着耶稣显明祂的公义,使人知道祂的救恩——不仅向以色列,也向万国显明。神的慈爱总是推动祂采取行动,而祂的信实确保祂所赐下的每一个应许都必成就。Through Jesus, God revealed His righteousness and made His salvation known—not only to Israel but to all nations. God's love always moves Him to action, and His faithfulness ensures that every promise He makes is fulfilled.
诗篇98篇提醒我们,那位向以色列持守应许的神从未改变。祂的慈爱永不止息,祂的信实永不动摇,祂的救恩今天仍在改变人的生命。Psalm 98 reminds us that the God who kept His promises to Israel has not changed. His love never fails, His faithfulness never wavers, and His salvation is still transforming lives today. 让我们全心信靠祂,并传扬祂的救恩,使别人也能经历祂永不止息的慈爱。Let us trust Him wholeheartedly and make His salvation known, so that others too may experience His unfailing love.
祷告Prayer
天父,感谢祢永不止息的慈爱和完全的信实。感谢祢藉着耶稣基督证明祢的爱,并使我们得知祢的救恩。Heavenly Father, thank You for Your unfailing love and Your perfect faithfulness. Thank You for proving Your love through Jesus Christ and making Your salvation known to us. 今天早晨,我举目仰望十字架;耶稣在那里流出祂的宝血,赦免我的罪,并显明祢慈爱的深广。This morning, I lift my eyes to the cross, where Jesus poured out His blood to forgive my sins and reveal the depth of Your love.感谢祢,因为祢是信实的,无论今天面对什么,我都可以信靠祢。当我的环境改变时,祢仍永不改变。当我的感受动摇时,祢的应许仍坚定不移。Thank You that because You are faithful, I can trust You no matter what I face today. When my circumstances change, You remain the same. When my feelings waver, Your promises stand firm. 求祢帮助我安息在祢坚定不移的慈爱中,凭信心而行,并藉着我的言语和生命传扬祢的救恩。愿许多人藉着我认识耶稣。奉祂宝贵的名祷告,阿们。Help me to rest in Your steadfast love, walk in faith, and make Your salvation known through my words and my life. May many come to know Jesus through me. In His precious name, Amen.
