双语灵修（葛培理牧师）：7月29日 因信蒙神喜悦

7月29日

因信蒙神喜悦

人非有信，不依靠神，就不能得神的喜悦。到神面前来的人，必须信有神，且信祂赏赐那寻求祂的人。

——希伯来书11:6（根据英文版本The Living Bible直译）

因信得蒙神喜悦胜过任何事，基督徒的生活依靠信心。我们靠信心站立得住，我们靠信心生活。信心比其他任何事物都更能得神的喜爱和荣耀。圣经教导我们说信是我们通向神的唯一途径。在耶稣基督里面，人非有信，他的罪就不得赦免，不能进天国，也不能得到平安与喜乐的保障。你可能会说：神啊，我相信你是一位伟大的人，但是我不相信圣经，不相信你所说的话。为了蒙神喜悦，你必须相信他。或许你的信心微小又软弱。但其实无关你的信心大小，而关乎你的信心所在之处。你的信心在神的儿子基督里吗？祂曾为你的罪被钉死在十字架上。

今日祷告：

我主耶稣，愿我的信在祢的里面，且祢丰盛的应许日益加增。祷告奉耶稣的名，阿们。

Faith Pleases God

You can never please God without faith, without depending on him. Anyone who wants to come to God must believe that there is a God and that he rewards those who sincerely look for him.

——Hebrews 11:6 (TLB)

Faith pleases God more than anything else. The Christian life is dependent upon faith. We stand on faith; we live on faith. Faith is loved and honored by God more than any other single thing. The Bible teaches that faith is the only approach that we have to God. No man has sins forgiven, no man goes to heaven, no man has assurance of peace and happiness, until he has faith in Jesus Christ. You may be saying, “God, I believe you are a great person, but I do not believe your Word; I do not believe what you say.” In order to please God, you must believe Him. Perhaps your faith is small and weak. It does not matter how big your faith is, but rather, where your faith is. Is it in Christ, the Son of God, who died on the cross for your sins?

Prayer for the day:

Lord Jesus, may my faith in You and Your abundant promises be ever increasing each day. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
