誠心懺悔，必蒙悅納

經文: 「他在人前歌唱說：我犯了罪，顛倒是非，這竟與我無益。上帝救贖我的靈魂免入深坑；我的生命也必見光。」(約伯記卅三：27，28)

這幾句話是屬靈人的經驗之談，不但是至理真言，也是上帝應許的兌現。上帝是昔在，今在，永在的父上帝，祂以前怎樣做事，祂現在也照樣繼續這樣做事。憂傷痛悔的心靈，祂必不輕看，事實上，祂總是隨時察看，有否因犯錯而願誠心懺悔的人，祂總是張開雙臂，準備擁抱接納他們。

我們無法不認同以上的話。難道我們不曾因著犯罪，而滿懷愧疚地向上帝承認：「我錯了！」難道我們不曾明知故犯，而內心矛盾掙扎地辯解孰是孰非？難道我們不曾歷經罪孽而發現這與我絲毫無益，反倒是一生的損失？讓我們按著本相，來到上帝面前誠心認罪，祂沒有多要求什麼，我們也無需多做什麼。

讓我們靠著耶穌的名向上帝求告，祂會救我們脫離地獄的深坑；祂會賜我們生命和真光，為何我們還在懷疑、絕望？上帝不會取笑謙卑的靈魂，祂絕對說話算話，祂說只要誠心懺悔，罪必得赦。主啊，我們要向'�b悔，求上帝饒恕！


He Acts on Honest Confession

Scripture: "He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not; He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light"(Job 33:27-28).

This is a word of truth, gathered from the experience of a man of God, and it is tantamount to a promise. What the LORD has done, and is doing, He will continue to do while the world standeth. The LORD will receive into His bosom all who come to Him with a sincere confession of their sin; in fact, He is always on the lookout to discover any that are in trouble because of their faults.
Can we not endorse the language here used? Have we not sinned, sinned personally so as to say, "I have sinned"? Sinned willfully, having perverted that which is right? Sinned so as to discover that there is no profit in it but an eternal loss? Let us, then, go to God with this honest acknowledgment. He asks no more. We can do no less.
Let us plead His promise in the name of Jesus. He will deliver us from the pit of hell which yawns for us; He will grant us life and light. Why should we despair? Why should we even doubt? The LORD does not mock humble souls. He means what He says. The guilty can be forgiven. Those who deserve execution can receive free pardon. LORD, we confess, and we pray Thee to forgive!
