双语灵修（葛培理牧师）：3月6日 相信之心

3月6日

相信之心

你若口里认耶稣为主，心里信上帝叫他从死里复活，就必得救。

——罗马书10:9

心脏是身体的泵，它把血液运送到各处。我们也常常用“心”来做比喻，因为它是身体最核心、最有生命力的器官。圣经说心脏是生命之源泉。这里，“心脏”几乎与“生命”同义。因此，当圣经上说“孩子，把你的心给我”，不是说真的要我们将心脏挖出来给上帝，而是将我们全部的生命献给他。在基督面前，我们不仅是表达理智上的认同，而是“用心灵去相信”。我们可以相信历史的耶稣，但如果我们持有的是“救赎的信仰”，我们所信的还应包括自己全部的生命。当我们尽心信靠时，我们的意志、情感、理智全然降服於基督。

每日祷告：

上帝啊，我相信祢是永活的救主，并因此喜乐！奉耶稣基督的名，阿们。

A Heart of Belief

If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead,thou shalt be saved.
—Romans 10:9

The heart is the blood-pump of the body.It is also used metaphorically when we speak of affections and feelings.Since it is the central organ of the body and one of the most vital,the Bible speaks of it as the wellspring of life.Hence,it is used synonymously with“life.”When the Bible says,“Son,give me thine heart,”it doesn’t mean that we are to cut out our actual hearts and give them to God.It means that we are to give Him our lives,our all.When we come to Christ,we are not only to give intellectual assent with our minds,we are to“believe in our hearts.”We can believe in the historic Jesus,but if we have“saving faith”our belief must involve our whole being.When we believe with all our hearts,the will,the emotions,and the intellect are surrendered to Christ.

Prayer for the day:

Lord,I believe and rejoice in the knowledge that You are alive and my Redeemer!In Jesus’Name,Amen.
