經文: 這樣，我們因信廢了律法麼？斷乎不是，更是堅固律法。（羅馬書三：31）

從主接納信徒進入祂的家庭那時刻開始，人與老亞當和律法的關係便即時斷絕了，他現在是在新律法和新約之下，信徒啊，你是上帝的兒女，因此你首要的責任是服從天上之父。你不應該存著為奴的心靈，因為你不是奴隸卻是兒子。祂是否要求你去完成一些屬靈的任務？你若忽視上帝的要求那是危險的，因為你不順服天上的父。那穌說：「所你們要完全，像你們的天父完全一。」（太五：48）。你當竭力成聖完全，不是因為律法的命令，乃因為救主的要求。祂豈不是告訴聖徒要彼此相愛?你要去行，並不是因為律法要求：「愛你的鄰舍。」乃因耶穌說：「你們若愛我，就必遵守我的命令。」（約十四：15）。祂給你的命令是：「叫你們彼此相愛。」（約十三：34）。主是否告訴你要賙濟窮人？你要去行，並不是因為行善是你必須背負的重擔，乃因耶穌教導後：「有求你的，就給他。」（太五：42）。聖經上說：「你要以全心愛你的上帝。」你要細讀這命令並回應說：「基督已完成了救恩，因此我不必為自己的救恩而去滿足這要求，但是我仍然欣喜服從，因為上帝是我的父。」但願聖靈幫助你順服基督大愛的束縛大能。但願你的禱告是：「求您叫我遵行您的命令，因為這我所喜樂的。」（詩一一九：35）

Evening, January 25

Scripture: "Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law."(Romans 3:31)

When the believer is adopted into the Lord's family, his relationship to old Adam and the law ceases at once; but then he is under a new rule, and a new covenant. Believer, you are God's child; it is your first duty to obey your heavenly Father. A servile spirit you have nothing to do with: you are not a slave, but a child; and now, inasmuch as you are a beloved child, you are bound to obey your Father's faintest wish, the least intimation of his will. Does he bid you fulfil a sacred ordinance? It is at your peril that you neglect it, for you will be disobeying your Father. Does he command you to seek the image of Jesus? Is it not your joy to do so? Does Jesus tell you, "Be ye perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect"? Then not because the law commands, but because your Saviour enjoins, you will labour to be perfect in holiness. Does he bid his saints love one another? Do it, not because the law says, "Love thy neighbour," but because Jesus says, "If ye love me, keep my commandments;" and this is the commandment that he has given unto you, "that ye love one another." Are you told to distribute to the poor? Do it, not because charity is a burden which you dare not shirk, but because Jesus teaches, "Give to him that asketh of thee." Does the Word say, "Love God with all your heart"? Look at the commandment and reply, "Ah! commandment, Christ hath fulfilled thee already—I have no need, therefore, to fulfil thee for my salvation, but I rejoice to yield obedience to thee because God is my Father now and he has a claim upon me, which I would not dispute." May the Holy Ghost make your heart obedient to the constraining power of Christ's love, that your prayer may be, "Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight." Grace is the mother and nurse of holiness, and not the apologist of sin.
