结语 神 赐 予我 们 的恩典，在于 祂 借着耶 稣 基督的仆人 传扬 福音，使我 们 能因信主耶 稣 基督而 称 义 。 换 言之，我 们 唯 独 因信耶 稣 而得 称 为义 。如今我 们既属 于基督耶 稣 ，便不再 处 于神的震怒或 审 判之下，而是活在 祂 那不可 动摇 的 爱 中—— 这爱 已 浇 灌在我 们 的心里。因此，我 们 成了 爱 神的人，也成了彼此相 爱 、彼此接 纳并乐 于分享 与 关 怀 的人。 简 而言之，我 们 已成 为 一 个 充 满 主 爱 的群体。 借着主耶 稣 基督在十字架上的死，我 们 罪得赦免；借着 祂 的 复 活，我 们 在神面前被算 为义 。我 们 因此蒙受了 极 大的福分， 获 得了救恩 与 永生。 这 救恩是源于耶 稣 基督恩典的 礼 物，也是至高无上的 礼 物。作 为这 至高 礼 物的 领 受者，我 们 必 须 活出合乎主心意的生命。我 们 要 怀 着 对 救恩之恩的感恩之心敬拜神， 并 经历 生命的更新 与 改 变 。我 们 要 将 自己的意愿放下在十字架前，同心 寻 求主的旨意， 并 按此旨意生活；我 们 要 过 一 种 蒙神喜 悦与悦 纳 的事奉生活。 我 们 都是蒙恩的 债户 ，因此必 须顺 服主的主 权 ，活出 为 神 结 果子的生命。我 们 要勇敢 传扬 福音 与 信心的信息，毫不羞愧。神若 帮 助我 们 ， 谁 能 敌挡 我 们 呢？我 们既 是 真 正的基督徒，就必 须 追求 灵 命的成熟。我 们 要凭信心生活——那是一 种 在看似毫无指望 时 仍存盼望的信心。在 属灵争 战 中，我 们 要 过 得 胜 的生活， 坚 信凡在基督里的人就不被定罪 这 一 真 理。愿我 们 都能活出 与 福音相 称 的生命。
When I think that I am now suffering
because of the sins I have committed ...
When I think that I am currently suffering
because of the sins I have committed, what should I do?
I turn to the lessons from David's repentance in
Psalm 143.
David's soul was troubled within him,
and his heart was dismayed because of his sins,
causing his enemies to persecute his soul (v. 3).
He felt distressed within himself (v. 4).
David found himself in deep despair,
losing hope and feeling as though he were like
those long dead (v. 4).
In that moment, David sought the Lord, raising
his hands in prayer (v. 6),
expressing his longing and supplication to God
(v. 1).
How did David pray to God?
He remembered the days of old,
meditating on all the works of the Lord
and considering the deeds of the past (v. 5).
While meditating, David uttered a soft voice,
repeatedly recounting all the things the Lord
had done in his life,
pleading with the Lord (v. 5).
Furthermore, because David trusted in the Lord,
he pleaded, "Let me hear in the morning of
your steadfast love, for in you I trust.
Make me know the way I should go, for to you I
lift up my soul" (v. 8).
David desired to hear the words of the Lord's
steadfast love every morning (v. 8).
He dedicated his soul to the Lord, entreating,
"Show me the way I should go" (v. 8).
Seeking protection, David approached the Lord
and pleaded for deliverance from his enemies (v.
9).
He prayed for God to save him for the sake of
His name
and to rescue him from distress through His
righteousness (v. 11).
Remarkably, in the midst of his prayer, David
confessed,
"You are my God" and pleaded,
"Teach me to do your will" (v. 10).
He acknowledged God's Holy Spirit as the Good
One
and implored, "Lead me on level
ground" (v. 10).
