彼得前書4章12-19節
神的小僕人
經文:
12 親愛的弟兄阿,有火煉的試驗臨到你們,不要以為奇怪,(
13 倒要歡喜,因為你們是與基督一同受苦,
14 你們若是為基督的名受辱罵,便是有福的,因為榮耀的靈,
15 你們中間卻不可有人,因為殺人,偷竊,作惡,好管閒事而受苦。
16 若為作基督徒受苦,卻不要羞恥,倒要因這名歸榮耀給神。
17 因為時候到了,審判要從神的家起首,若是先從我們起首,
18 若是義人僅僅得救,那不虔敬和犯罪的人,將有何地可站呢?
19 所以那照神旨意受苦的人,要一心為善,
人間許多的疾苦來自不同的原因,有些時候是因為自己/
看見不義的人行在順境中,自己卻因跟隨主受到不同程度的攻擊,
禱告:
天父上帝,祢是信實可靠的,我們要堅持相信祢。求主加增信心,
1 Peter 4:12-19
Very often we suffer because of our wrong decisions and our own deeds. Yet when we are insulted, falsely accused for being good as Christians, we begin to doubt if God is righteous. Peter encourages us that it is the time we need to persevere and continue to be good.
We may not understand why bad people are prospering and good people suffer. We feel as if God does not care and He does not interfere. Trust Him for He know every thought and deed. His time may come late but His judgement will definitely realize.
God is faithful and we can trust Him in all circumstances.
