双语灵修（葛培理牧师）：5月12日 神改变我们

5月12日

神改变我们

……使我得着口才，能以放胆开口讲明福音的奥秘。

——弗6:19

“奥秘”一词是指超越人类的知识范围或者理解能力。对于神的奥秘，不信的人感到困惑，信的人得到祝福。这公义的奥秘，就像神的诸多奥秘一样，我们无法理解，但是我们知道奥秘的功效。我们对神的奥秘感到惊讶，通过这个伟大的奥秘，神可以改变人类的心意，态度，欲望以及本性。

神是圣洁的，他热爱公义憎恶邪恶，通过救赎计划，他使我们重新有神的形象。多么奇妙啊！神世世代代将公义放在人的心中。即使在现今的时代，通过万事互相效力，通过公义的奥秘，神在做着改变人类的工作。

今日祷告

主啊，给我胆量，让我向人诉说耶稣基督里的永恒的奥秘。奉耶稣基督的名，阿们。

He Changes Us

. . . that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel.
—Ephesians 6:19

The word “mystery” means beyond human knowledge or understanding. God’s mysteries baffle the unbelieving, but bless the believer. The mystery of righteousness, like some of the other great mysteries of God, we cannot comprehend, but we know it works. We stand amazed at this great mystery which enables God to change the human heart, its attitudes, its desires, and its nature.

God, a holy God, who loves righteousness and hates wickedness, through a process of redemption has refashioned us in the image of Himself. How marvelous! For generations He has been applying His righteousness to the hearts of men. Even in our time, with its complexities of living, God is in the business of changing men and women by the mystery of righteousness.

Prayer for the day：

Give me Your boldness to tell others the secret of eternal joy in Jesus Christ. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
