【罗12:3】我凭着所赐我的恩，对你们各人说：不要看自己过于所当看的，要照着神所分给各人信心的大小，看得合乎中道。【Rom12:3】For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you.

信耶稣之后，进入基督徒的新生活，我们需要把自己献上当作活祭，思想观念要被真理更新，还要对自己有清醒的认识。After believing in Jesus and entering a new Christian life, we need to offer ourselves as living sacrifices. Our thoughts and ideas must be renewed by the truth, and we must have a clear understanding of ourselves.保罗特意提醒每一个信徒：不要看自己过于所当看的，不要高看自己，要在一个清醒里，照着神所给各人信心的大小来看待自己。我们对自己是怎样的认识呢？Paul specifically reminds every believer: Do not think of yourself more highly than you should, do not be proud, but view yourself with sober judgment, according to the measure of faith God has given each of you. How do we understand ourselves?

保罗起初是自视甚高的法利赛人，被主得着后，经历了认识自己的过程，最后他说：在罪人中，我是个罪魁，然而我蒙了神的怜悯…aul was a Pharisee who initially thought highly of himself. After being found by the Lord, he went through a process of truly knowing himself. In the end, he said: "I am the chief of sinners, but I have obtained God’s mercy"…给后来信祂的人作榜样。耶稣本有神的荣耀，却降卑为人，把自己打造成什么都不是，来到我们中间，谦卑服侍罪人，为我们舍命，父把祂升为至高。and he set an example for those who would believe in Him later. Jesus, who originally had the glory of God, humbled Himself to nothing, came among us, served sinners with humility, and gave His life for us. The Father then exalted Him to the highest place.

主啊，我们被拣选不是因自己的义。求你赦免我，信了耶稣之后，经历你的恩典，在教会，在家里，在职场，能参与一点服事，却生出优越感，Lord, we are not chosen because of our own righteousness. Please forgive me. After believing in Jesus and experiencing Your grace, I was able to serve in the church, at home, and at work, but I developed a sense of superiority,以为自己比别人强，就站在高位上，发号施令，把自己举起来，去比较、嫉妒、争竞、不服，忘了自己的本相，原本只是在葡萄园外闲站着的…thinking I was better than others. I stood in a high position, gave orders, lifted myself up, compared, envied, competed, and refused to obey. I forgot my true self—I was originally just standing outside the vineyard...

主，是你的怜悯，让我们能有份于你的国度。我们都是你身上的肢体，恩赐不同，功用不同，我们不是彼此的竞争者。Lord, it is Your mercy that allows us to share in Your kingdom. We are all members of Your body, with different gifts and functions, and we are not competitors with one another.求圣灵治死我里面的自高自大、自以为是，不再自己作神，使我谦卑服在你大能的手中，顺服元首耶稣的带领，与身边的肢体彼此相助，搭配服侍，建立基督的身体。May the Holy Spirit put to death the arrogance and self-righteousness in me, so that I will no longer seek to be my own god. Help me to humble myself under Your mighty hand, obey the leadership of Jesus, the Head, and support those around me. Let us serve together and build up the body of Christ.（付传道Pastor Fu）
