加拉太书 3 :13-14 基督既为我们受了咒诅,就赎出我们脱离律法的咒诅,因为经上记着:“凡挂在木头上都是被咒诅的。”这便叫亚伯拉罕的福,因基督耶稣可以临到外邦人,使我们因信得着所应许的圣灵。(现代标点和合本)
Galatians 3:13-14 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.” He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit. (NKJV)
今天神爱我们不是因为我们的表现如何;祂为我们在⼗字架上牺牲了祂的爱⼦,以此显明祂对我们的爱,基督藉着⼗架救赎了我们脱离律法的咒诅,好叫原本属亚伯 拉罕所赐给犹太⼈的祝福,在耶稣基督⾥,藉着信 (不是因⾏为) 可以临到我们 (外邦⼈) ⾝上。 若你说你相信主耶稣,你相信救赎,即使你不是犹太⼈,你也可以相信属亚伯拉罕的祝福也属于你。 圣经 说:“你怎么信,就怎么为你成就。” 阿们!你都领受了亚伯拉罕的祝福了吗?你知道美国有多少成功的犹太⼈吗? 许多简单的想法与主意就取得了巨⼤的成功。 所以今天,那些智慧、创意、理解能力和技能也可以属于我们。教会,神的旨意是要你繁荣兴盛。阿们!
Today God loves us not because of how we perform. God showed His love for us by sacrificing His Son on the cross for us, and through the cross, Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, so that the blessing of Abraham which was originally meant for the Jews, might come upon the Gentiles (that is us) in Christ Jesus, through faith (not by works). This morning, if you say you believe in Jesus and you believe in redemption, you can also believe that the blessings of Abraham are also for you, even though you are not a Jew. And the bible says, “As you believe, so shall it be done for you.” Amen. Are you receiving the blessings of Abraham? Do you know how many successful Jews there are in the United States? Many simple ideas became big successes. That wisdom, that idea, the intuition, and know-how can also belong to us today. Church, it is the Lord’s plan to prosper you. Amen!
