慕安德烈每日靈修 God's Best Secrets by Andrew Murray

罪�

經文: 「在罪人中我是個罪魁。並且我主的恩是格外豐盛，使我在基督耶穌裡有信心和愛心。」（提摩太前書一：14，15）

當你進入密室禱告時，切莫須臾或忘記你的身份，只不過是個蒙恩的罪人。也就是因著罪，更凸顯上帝的聖潔，是何等榮耀可畏，因爲上帝說：「你們要自潔成聖，因爲我是耶和華你們的上帝，我是叫你們成聖的耶和華。」（利廿：7，8）�
<BR> 因著人類的罪，上帝不惜犧牲祂獨生愛子的性命，讓祂被釘十字架，流下寶貴鮮血，做&#29234;我們罪的贖價，祂長闊高深莫可測度的愛，就在此向我們顯明了。在天堂永�的國度裡，就是我們這一批被拯救的罪人，在那兒唱新歌讚美我們的上帝。�
<BR> 切莫片刻忘記，因著罪使得耶穌與我們另立新約，就是祂要用寶血將我們買贖歸回。每天我們與上帝相近相親，耶穌的目的就是要我們與祂的新生命更緊密的連合，得以脫離罪的權勢與綑綁，使我們在祂無限大愛中，越來越像上帝自己。�
<BR> 因著思想到人的罪性，使我們不得不謙卑地俯伏祂腳下，而我們得蒙赦免拯救，更使我們心被恩感，情不自禁地唱出讚美感謝的歌聲。�
<BR> 而這可怕的「罪」，常在週遭環伺，等著引誘我們自投羅網，我們需要更殷勤的禱告，更堅定的信心，將我們自己藏在耶穌的蔭庇下。�
<BR> 因著罪的存在，使得耶穌基督有著說不出來的寶貴，也使得我們每時每刻都要依靠祂的恩典，宣告透過耶穌基督，我們可以成&#29234;得勝者。�
<BR> 因著罪，我們在上帝面前懇切認罪，流淚悔改，而憂傷痛悔的心，上帝必不輕看，且樂意住在憂傷痛悔的人心中。在密室與上帝親近禱告時，罪的權勢被制服，上帝的聖潔可以內住我們心中，佔有我們的生命。�
<BR> 是的，在密室禱告的時候，我們得以更深入認識上帝，更充分經歷上帝應許的信實：
<BR> 「祂兒子耶穌的血，也洗淨我們一切的罪。」（約壹一：7）
<BR> 「凡住在祂裡面的，就不犯罪。」（約壹三：6）


SIN

Scripture: &quot;The chief of sinners.&quot; &quot;And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.&quot; —1 TIM. i. 14, 15.

Never forget for a moment, as you enter the secret cham&not;ber, that your whole relation to God depends on what you think of sin, and of yourself as a redeemed sinner.
It is sin that makes God's holiness so awful. It is sin that makes God's holiness so glorious, because He has said: "Be ve holy. I am holy. I am the Lord which makes you holy" (Lev. xx. 7, 8).
It is sin that called forth the wonderful love of God in not sparing His Son. It was sin that nailed Jesus to the cross, and revealed the depth and the power of the love with which He loved. Through all eternity in the glory of heaven, it is our being redeemed sinners that will tune our praise.
Never forget for a moment that it is sin that has led to the great transaction between you and Christ Jesus; and that each (lay in your fellowship with God His one aim is to deliver and keep you fully from its power, and lift you up into His likeness and His infinite love.
It is the thought of sin that will keep you low at His feet, and give the deep undertone to all your adoration.
It is the thought of sin, ever surrounding you and seeking to attempt you, that will give fervency to your prayer, and urgency to the faith that hides itself in Christ.
It is the thought of sin that makes Christ so unspeakably precious, that keeps you every moment dependent on His grace, and gives you the claim to be more than conqueror through Him that loved us.
It is the thought of sin that calls to us to thank God with the broken and contrite heart, which God will not despise, that works in us that contrite and humble spirit in which He delights to dwell.
It is in the inner chamber, in secret with the Father, that s'n can be conquered, the holiness of Christ can be imparted, and the Spirit of holiness take possession of our lives.
It is the inner chamber that we shall learn to know and experience fully the Divine power of the precious words of promise:
"The blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth us from all sin." He that abideth in Him sinneth not" (1 John i. 7, iii. 6).
