以賽亞書一章15-20節
神的小僕人
經文:
15 你們舉手禱告,我必遮眼不看,就是你們多多的祈禱,我也不聽,你們的手都滿了殺人的血。
16 你們要洗濯,自潔,從我眼前除掉你們的惡行,要止住作惡,
17 學習行善,尋求公平,解救受欺壓的,給孤兒伸冤,為寡婦辨屈。
18 耶和華說:你們來,我們彼此辯論,你們的罪雖像硃紅,必變成雪白,雖紅如丹顏,必白如羊毛。
19 你們若甘心聽從,必吃地上的美物。
20 若不聽從,反倒悖逆,必被刀劍吞滅,這是耶和華親口說的。
先知以賽亞早在主前六百多年已經告訴我們,面對生命我們有兩個選擇,一是我們選擇歸回上帝,順服和聽從祂,接受救恩,罪得赦免;或是我們可以選擇繼續叛逆,繼續我行我素,依靠自己,自以為是,最終是滅亡。
神賜給人類一個最大的賞賜就是自由意志。神從來沒有勉強我們接受祂的救恩,但只要我們願意,上帝恩典的禮物已經放在門口,等待我們接收。
罪得赦免叫人如釋重負,給人第二次的機會,讓我們能好好的生活。
Isaiah 1:15-20
Prophet Isaiah spoke to us about the free choice God gives us. We can either receive His saving plan and be forgiven; or we can continue our way of rebellion, self indulgence and self-centredness, which lead to eternal death.
The gift of salvation is at our door and it is up to us to receive or reject. Free will is the gift of God to human, and God never forces us into a relationship with Him though He is always waiting for us.
To be forgiven is deliverance, real freedom and another chance to live in Him, with His love and presence.
