【徒2:38】彼得说：“你们各人要悔改，奉耶稣基督的名受洗，叫你们的罪得赦，就必领受所赐的圣灵。【Acts2:38】Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

当圣灵浇灌下来时，彼得大有能力地向以色列人宣告：被你们钉在十字架上的耶稣，祂复活了，神已经立祂为主，为基督了。As the Holy Spirit poured out, Peter boldly proclaimed to the Israelites: “God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.”众人听见这话觉得扎心，因此问使徒：我们当怎样行？彼得却告诉他们：“你们各人要悔改，奉耶稣的名受洗…”那一天三千人信而悔改，受洗归主。When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to the apostles, “What shall we do?” Peter replied, “Repent and be baptised, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ...” (Acts2:37-38). On that day, three thousand believed, repented, and were baptised.

无论我们做什么，都无法救自己脱离内心罪的捆绑和辖制。No matter what we do, we cannot free ourselves from the bondage and dominion of sin in our hearts. 好消息是：耶稣被钉死在十字架上，祂流血舍命，担当了我的罪。我们信而悔改，就可以罪得赦免，并且得着圣灵为印记，成为神的子民。The good news is: Jesus was crucified, shedding His blood and bearing our sins. By believing and repenting, we receive forgiveness of sins and the Holy Spirit as a seal, becoming children of God.我们起初得着圣灵，不是因自己有好行为，是因着信自己是一个罪人，需要耶稣的拯救…We receive the Holy Spirit not by our good deeds, but by acknowledging our sinfulness and need for Jesus' salvation…

耶稣说：天国近了，你们要悔改。” Jesus said, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.”信耶稣，就是因信被圣灵光照引领，不断地离弃自以为正的道路，除掉不义的意念，悔改归向神，祂必广行赦免。To believe in Jesus is to be led by the light of the Holy Spirit, constantly forsaking our own perceived righteousness, casting away our wrong thoughts, repenting and turning to God, who will abundantly forgive us.主，求你赦免我，不知不觉走在靠自己想做好的路上，做不好，又灰心懊恼…这条路走不通。Lord, forgive me for unwittingly walking the path of self-reliance, becoming discouraged when I fail...this path leads nowhere.我们既靠圣灵入门，靠圣灵得生，也当靠圣灵行事。After beginning with the Spirit(Gal‬3:3a), we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.(Gal5:25)

主，感谢你把圣灵赐给我，要引导我走义路。Lord, thank You for giving me the Holy Spirit to guide me on the path of righteousness.圣灵，求你时时光照我的内心深处的诡诈、骄傲、虚荣、自我中心…使我快快承认并离弃罪，引导我一生走在信而否定自己，悔改转向耶稣的路上。Holy Spirit, illuminate the depths of my heart, exposing deceit, pride, vanity, self-centeredness...help me confess and forsake the sins promptly, guiding me to walk the path of faith, denying myself, repenting, and turning to Jesus throughout my life.主，求你赐下悔改的灵，使万国万民因信福音，都来归向你，信而受洗，走上这条恩典之路。Lord, pour out a spirit of repentance so that people from every nation may believe the gospel, turn to You, be baptised, and walk on this road of grace.
