双语灵修（葛培理牧师）：5月18日 彼此相爱

5月18日

彼此相爱

小子们哪，我们相爱，不要只在言语和舌头上，总要在行为和诚实上。

——约一3:18

圣经教导我们若要跟随基督，就要彼此相爱，像神爱我们一样。神爱我们，因此差遣爱子耶稣为我们钉死在十字架上。圣经告诉我们当我们来到神面前的时候，神藉着我们心里的圣灵将他那测不透的爱放在我们里面。可以证明我们是基督徒的最大的证据就是彼此相爱。为什么不走出去与那些不同肤色的人交朋友呢？爱是解决问题的最好良药。在神赐予门徒的所有礼物中爱居首位。圣灵结出的十二种灵果中，仁爱居首位。

今日祷告

慈爱的主，在人际关系中我的爱很肤浅，请教导我何为真爱。奉耶稣基督的名，阿们。

Love Covers

. . . Let us stop just saying we love people; let us really love them, and show it by our actions.
—1 John 3:18 （TLB）

The Bible declares that we who follow Christ should be just as much in love with each other as God was in love with us when He sent His Son to die on the cross. The moment we come to Christ, Scripture says, God gives us supernatural love that is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit. The greatest demonstration of the fact that we are Christians is that we love one another. Why not go out of our way to be a friend to someone whose skin is a different color from ours? Love does more to solve our problems than anything else does. Of all the gifts God offers His children, love is the greatest. Of all the fruits of the Holy Spirit, love is the first.

Prayer for the day：

Jesus, loving Lord, teach me real love—mine is often shallow in my relationship to others. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
