【诗130:3-4】主耶和华啊，你若究察罪孽，谁能站得住呢？但在你有赦免之恩，要叫人敬畏你。【Psa130:3-4】If you, LORD , kept a record of sins, Lord, who could stand? But with you there is forgiveness, so that we can, with reverence, serve you.

诗篇130是一首悔改诗，诗人因自己的罪孽陷入绝望的深渊，于是他迫切从心的深处仰望神的赦免。Psalm 130 is a psalm of repentance. The psalmist falls into the depths of despair because of his own sins, and from the depths of his heart he earnestly looks to God for forgiveness.在这里，诗人发出了一个极深的反问：如果耶和华究察人的罪孽，记录我们每一个隐秘的思想、骄傲的动机、论断的话语和自私的行为，按照祂完全公义、圣洁的标准来审判，没有一个人能够在祂面前站立得住。Here, the psalmist asks a profound rhetorical question: if the Lord were to examine our sins, recording every hidden thought, proud motive, judgemental word, and selfish action, and judge us according to His perfectly righteous and holy standard, not one person could stand before Him.

然而，接下来的这个“但”字，带来了惊人的转折与盼望：但在你有赦免之恩。Yet the word “but” that follows brings an astonishing turning point and hope: but with You there is forgiveness.神不仅有公义，也满有怜悯、赦免。祂的赦免不是降低祂圣洁的标准，对我们的罪视而不见，而是把我们的罪孽都归算在祂独生爱子耶稣基督身上。God is not only righteous, but also full of mercy and forgiveness. His forgiveness does not mean lowering His holy standard or turning a blind eye to our sins. Rather, He laid all our sins upon His one and only beloved Son, Jesus Christ.因着基督在十字架上的流血牺牲，我们领受赦免的恩典。Through Christ’s sacrificial shedding of His blood on the cross, we receive the grace of forgiveness.

神赦免我们，绝不是让我们继续放纵自己、觉得反正有恩典，神会饶恕，犯罪也没有关系；相反，神赦免的目的，是要叫人敬畏祂。God’s forgiveness is never intended to allow us to continue indulging ourselves, thinking that since there is grace and God will forgive us, sin no longer matters. On the contrary, the purpose of God’s forgiveness is “so that You may be feared”.真正的敬畏，不是出于刑罚的惧怕想要逃避，而是在认识祂圣洁、公义的同时，因着被赦免的浩大恩典而生发出感恩和爱，使我们愿意彻底悔改、恨恶罪恶。True fear of God does not come from the fear of punishment that makes us want to run away. Rather, as we come to know His holiness and righteousness, the overwhelming grace of being forgiven produces gratitude and love within us, leading us to repent completely and hate sin.

一个真正经历过赦免的人，看待别人的方式也会开始改变。A person who has truly experienced forgiveness will also begin to see others differently.我们不再把报复、审判抓在自己的手里不放，而是学习把审判和伸冤交在神手中，以怜悯代替定罪，以饶恕代替苦毒。We no longer hold tightly to revenge and judgement in our own hands, but learn to entrust judgement and vindication to God, replacing condemnation with mercy and bitterness with forgiveness.

祷告 | Prayer

天父，感谢祢，因为祢是圣洁、公义的神。如果祢究察我的罪孽，我知道自己无法站立。Heavenly Father, thank You, because You are a holy and righteous God. If You were to keep a record of my sins, I know that I could not stand.感谢祢，在基督里赐下无尽的恩典与赦免之恩。主啊，求祢赦免我常常“究察”别人的罪，紧抓他人的过犯不放，心里充满苦毒与不饶恕，却忘了自己是一个蒙了何等大恩的罪人。Thank You for giving me endless grace and forgiveness in Christ.Lord, please forgive me for so often “keeping a record” of other people’s sins, holding tightly to their offences, and allowing my heart to be filled with bitterness and unforgiveness, while forgetting that I myself am a sinner who has received such great grace.

圣灵啊，求祢将十字架赦罪的恩典深深地刻在我的心底。帮助我不要把祢的恩典当作理所当然，而是让我在被赦免的爱中生出真正敬畏祢的心。Holy Spirit, please engrave deeply upon my heart the grace of forgiveness accomplished through the cross. Help me not to take Your grace for granted, but let the love I have received through forgiveness produce in me a true fear of You.愿祢的赦免不仅释放我脱离定罪，更改变我的生命，使我能够远离罪恶，活出爱与饶恕，成为彰显祢恩典的人。May Your forgiveness not only set me free from condemnation, but also transform my life, enabling me to turn away from sin, live out love and forgiveness, and become someone who reveals Your grace.

奉耶稣的名祷告，阿们。In Jesus’ name, Amen.
