信赖他的圣言! 

我们相信圣言,仅仅因为“上帝是这样说的”!上主要我们对他的圣言有信心,而不是总需要有证明才相信。圣言就是我们所需要的所有证明。

上帝为什么坚持让我们必须相信一些我们看不见和感觉不到的事物、只凭着信心去相信他的圣言、就像一个小孩子必须信赖父母一样地信赖他呢?这是因为上主喜爱信心!他爱我们,就因为我们相信他是这样说的!这是我们向他表示爱和信心的一种方式。信心能够真正地显示出我们的爱。“人非有信,就不能得上帝的喜悦,因为到上帝面前来的人必须信他的存在,且信他是对那些一心一意寻求他的人们的赏赐者。”(希伯来书11:6)

就像一个孩子必须信赖父母一样,即使他不总是明白为什么他必须去做、或不去做某些事情。他必须这么做,是“因为爸爸是这么说的”!当孩子信赖他的父母、对他们有信心、以及相信他们的话是算数的时候,就能表示出他在爱他们。我们与上主的关系也应该如此!我们应该只对他说“好吧!”,然后去做就是了;我们相信他,就因为他是这么说的!

去信赖上主和他的圣言吧!

Take God at His Word!

We’re supposed to believe the Word simply because God said so! He wants us to have faith in His Word and not always have to have a sign.

Why does God insist we have to believe in something we cannot see or feel, purely by faith in His Word, trusting Him just like a little child has to trust a parent? It’s because the Lord loves faith! He loves us because we believe Him, just because He said so. It’s a way of showing our love and our confidence in Him. “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him” (Hebrews 11:6).

It’s like a child who has to trust his parents even though he doesn’t always understand why he must do or not do this or that. He just has to “do it because Daddy says so.” Because the child trusts his parents and feels secure in their love, he takes their word for it. That’s the way we should be with God. We should say to Him, “Yes sir!” and believe it and do it simply because He says we should.
