撒⺟⽿记上 16:7 ...耶和华不像⼈看⼈,⼈是看外貌, 耶和华是看内⼼。(现代标点和合本)
1Samuel 16:7 …For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart. (NKJV)
今天⽗神也是在看你的内⼼。当你 从⼼⾥信的正确,你就晓得⽗神并没有以 怒⽓待你,祂不是按着你的⾏为来断定你 是否公义,⽽是因着⼗架的完⼯,祂看你 是全然⽆瑕疵,带着公义的⾝份坦然⽆惧 来到祂⾯前。在祂眼中,你是全然公义。如果你做错了该怎么办?如果你仍然时不时地陷⼊罪中⼜当如何?如果你仍然⽆法 摆脱坏习惯时该怎么办?你还配得为⽗神所爱吗?是的!你仍然配得被⽗神所爱。 为什么?因为不是靠着我们的⾏为称义, ⽽是我们有因信⽽来的奇迹。只要我们相 信主耶稣,神就把赐给亚伯拉罕的义归于 我们。当你依靠⾃⼰的意志⼒想要做出改变时,你永远不会成功,但当你信的正 确,就看⻅由内⽽外的转变。阿们!
Today Abba Father is also looking at your heart. When you believe right in your heart, you will know that Abba Father is not angry at you, and that He does not need you to earn His approval of you, but that because of Jesus’ finished work at the cross, He sees you as perfect and completely worthy to come before Him. You are righteous in His sight. What if you have done wrong? What if you still fall into sin now and then? What if you still cannot get rid of that addiction? Are you still worthy of God’s love? Yes, yes, yes! You are still completely worthy of God’s love. Why? Because it does not come by our own efforts but we have a miracle that comes by faith. Just by our believing in Jesus, God imputes to us the righteousness which was also given to Abraham. When you depend on your own willpower to change, you can never succeed, but when you believe right, there will be an inside-out
transformation. Amen!
