*Our Generous Father 慷慨的天父*
Matthew/ 馬太福音 7:7-12 NIV
7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
7 「你們祈求,就給你們;尋找,就尋見;叩門,就給你們開門。 8
因為凡祈求的就得著,尋找的就尋見,叩門的就給他開門。
9 “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 11 If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! 12 So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.
9 你們中間哪一個人,兒子向他要餅,反給他石頭;10 要魚,反給他蛇呢?11你們雖然邪惡,尚且知道把好東西給兒女,何況你們在天上的父,難道不更把好東西賜給求他的人嗎?12 你們願意人怎樣待你們,你們也要怎樣待人,這是律法和先知的總綱。
PURPOSE 目的
2 Timothy / 提摩太後書1:9 NIV
He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time,
神救了我們,以聖召呼召我們,不是按照我們的行為,卻是按照他自己的計劃和恩典;這恩典是在萬世以前,在基督耶穌裡賜給了我們的
Exodus / 出埃及記9:16
“But I have raised you up for this very purpose, that I might show you my power and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth”
然而我使你存留,是為了使你看見我的能力,並且在全地上傳講我的名。
Romans /羅馬書8:28
“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose”
我們知道,為了愛 神的人,就是按他旨意蒙召的人的益處,萬事都一同效力。
PROVISION 供應
2 Timothy / 提摩太後書 1:7 NIV
For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.
因為 神所賜給我們的,不是膽怯的靈,而是有能力、仁愛、自律的靈。
Malachi /馬拉基書 3:10-12 NIV
10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it. 11 I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not drop their fruit before it is ripe,” says the Lord Almighty. 12 “Then all the nations will call you blessed, for yours will be a delightful land,” says the Lord Almighty.
10 萬軍之耶和華說:「你們要把當納的十分之一,全部送入倉庫,使我家中有糧;藉此試驗我,看我是不是為你們敞開天窗,把福氣倒給你們,直到充足有餘呢。」11 萬軍之耶和華說:「我必為你們斥責那吞吃者,不容他毀壞你們地上的果實,也不讓你們田間的葡萄在未熟以先就掉下來。」 12 萬軍之耶和華說:「萬國都要稱你們為有福,因為你們的地必成為喜樂之地。」
GRACE 恩典
James / 雅各書4:6-10 NIV
6 But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says:
“God opposes the proud
but shows favor to the humble.”
7 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9 Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. 10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.
6 但 神所賜的恩更大;所以聖經上說:「 神對抗驕傲的人,賜恩給謙卑的人。」7你們應當順服 神,抵擋魔鬼,魔鬼就逃避你們。8你們應當親近 神, 神就親近你們。罪人啊,要潔淨你們的手;三心兩意的人哪,要清潔你們的心。9你們要愁苦、悲哀、哭泣,把歡笑變為傷痛,把快樂變為憂愁。10 你們務要在主面前謙卑,他就使你們高升。
