上帝所赐的圣灵(在信徒的心里面)可以帮助基督徒灵命成长、迈向成熟,渐渐成为一个像祂那样有公义和圣洁的人。只要我们每天灵修亲近神,读圣经、祷告和敬拜赞美祂,就会越来越像祂。祂是正直公义的神,满有爱心的神,祂是爱的源头,神就是爱。
你有不信耶稣的自由(神给人自由意志),你可以否定神/耶稣,可是你不能阻止祂爱你/祝福你/帮你,因为神的原意本是好的。如果你认为祂不会帮你,你还是要相信有一天祂会帮你实现愿望,你要耐心等待,因为神说凡等候耶和华的必重新得力。信心和爱是世上最大的力量,你要对神有信心,就一定会成功。8:28 我们晓得万事都互相效力,叫爱神的人得益处,就是按他旨意被召的人。8:28 And we know that(One early ms reads all things work together for good) God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. (罗马书(Romans) )
我们知道一切受造之物一同叹息、劳苦,直到如今。8:22 For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now.8:23 不但如此,就是我们这有圣灵初结果子的,也是自己心里叹息,等候得着儿子的名分,乃是我们的身体得赎。8:23 And not only this, but also we ourselves, having the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body.
我们得救是在乎盼望;只是所见的盼望不是盼望,谁还盼望他所见的呢?(有古卷作“人所看见的何必再盼望呢?”)8:24 For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees?8:25 但我们若盼望那所不见的,就必忍耐等候。8:25 But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it.
况且,我们的软弱有圣灵帮助,我们本不晓得当怎样祷告,只是圣灵亲自用说不出来的叹息替我们祷告。8:26 In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words;8:27 鉴察人心的,晓得圣灵的意思,因为圣灵照着神的旨意替圣徒祈求。8:27 and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.
——(罗马书(Romans) )
“ 神爱世人,甚至将他的独生子赐给他们,叫一切信他的,不至灭亡,反得永生。3:16 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
因为神差他的儿子降世,不是要定世人的罪(或作“审判世人”。下同),乃是要叫世人因他得救。3:17 For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.3:18 信他的人,不被定罪;不信的人,罪已经定了,因为他不信神独生子的名。3:18 He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
光来到世间,世人因自己的行为是恶的,不爱光倒爱黑暗,定他们的罪就是在此。3:19 This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil.3:20 凡作恶的便恨光,并不来就光,恐怕他的行为受责备;3:20 For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.3:21 但行真理的必来就光,要显明他所行的是靠神而行。”3:21 But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God.”
