But you are only human. You have no authority to speak against God like that. God has made you. A pot cannot speak against the person who made it! It cannot ask him, ‘Why did you make me like this?’ Somebody who makes pots can choose to make any kind of pot. He can use […]
And God spoke to Rebekah before her sons were born. God spoke before the boys had done anything either good or bad. God did this to show clearly that he himself was choosing one child. He was not choosing someone because of what that person had done. He himself decided who he would choose.Romans 9:11 […]
I am sure of this. Nothing can stop God from loving us. Death cannot do that. Life cannot do that. Angels cannot do that, nor can demons do that. Nothing that happens to us now, or that will happen in a future time can do that. No powerful spirits can do that. Nothing that is […]
But we continue to hope for what we do not yet see. And so, we wait for it patiently.Romans 8:25 但我們若盼望那所不見的，就必忍耐等候。羅馬書 8:25
If our weak human thoughts rule us, we become God’s enemies. People like that do not want to obey God’s laws . They are not even able to obey them. People who let their human thoughts rule them cannot make God happy.Romans 8:7-8 原來體貼肉體的，就是與上帝為仇；因為不服上帝的律法，也是不能服， 而且屬肉體的人不能得上帝的喜歡。羅馬書 8:7-8
So, someone might say, ‘This means that something good brought death to you.’ No! God’s Law did not do that! It was sin that brought death to me. Sin used God’s good Law to show that I was guilty . Because of that, we can see that sin is really very bad. The rules in […]
I thank God! He has made me free, because of what Jesus Christ has done. So then, with my mind I want to obey God’s Law . But, at the same time, I serve sin as my master, because I am weak and human.Romans 7:25 感謝上帝，靠着我們的主耶穌基督 就能脫離了 。這樣看來，我以內心順服上帝的律，我肉體卻順服罪的律了。羅馬書 7:25
In our old lives, we did the bad things that we wanted to do. Moses’ Laws brought bad thoughts into our minds. As a result, our bodies did many wrong things. In the end, those bad things lead to death.Romans 7:5 因為我們屬肉體的時候，那因律法而生的惡慾就在我們肢體中發動，以致結成死亡的果子。羅馬書 7:5
Someone might say: ‘So, we have a new life because God is kind to us. Moses’ laws do not rule us any more. Then maybe we should continue to do wrong things. It will not make any difference.’ No, that is not true!Romans 6:15 這卻怎麼樣呢？我們在恩典之下，不在律法之下，就可以犯罪嗎？斷乎不可！ 羅馬書 6:15
So, you also should think about yourselves in the same way. Sin has no power over you, as if you were dead. In your new life, you live to serve God, because you belong to Christ Jesus.Romans 6:11 這樣，你們向罪也當看自己是死的；向上帝在基督耶穌裏，卻當看自己是活的。羅馬書 6:11
