保罗曾在加拉太传福音,建立了教会。但是当保罗离开以后,加拉太人离弃了那召他们的神,跟从了别的福音。Paul once preached the gospel in Galatia and established churches there. But after he left, the Galatians turned away from the God who had called them and began to follow a different gospel. 保罗心里急切,写下了加拉太书。他在开篇就两次提到:Deeply concerned, Paul wrote the Epistle to the Galatians. At the beginning of the letter, he emphasized twice: 若有人传另外的福音,那人就应当被咒诅!因保罗所传讲的福音,不是从人而来,而是从耶稣基督的启示而来。if anyone preaches a different gospel, let them be accursed! For the gospel Paul preached was not from man, but came through a revelation of Jesus Christ.
人凭着自己会觉得保罗太骄傲狂妄:难道只有你是对的?From a human perspective, some might think Paul was arrogant or prideful—“Are you the only one who is right?” 保罗没有因为讨人的喜欢,在真理上向人妥协,而是单单讨神的喜悦,勇敢指斥罪恶,为真理而战!But Paul did not seek to please people or compromise the truth for the sake of popularity. Instead, he sought to please God alone, boldly rebuking sin and fighting for the truth! 因保罗从遇见耶稣以后,生命被主改变,他从人前脱离出来,单单活在神的面前,After encountering Jesus, Paul’s life was transformed. He no longer lived to please man, but lived solely before God, serving as Christ’s servant. 只作基督的仆人,至死忠心,成为主的精兵。He remained faithful unto death, becoming a good soldier of the Lord.
耶稣不求从人来的荣耀,只求差他来者的荣耀。十字架在人看来何等的羞辱,却因耶稣的死和复活,彰显出神的大能和荣耀!这荣耀存到永永远远!Jesus did not seek glory from men, but only the glory of the One who sent Him. The cross, though seen by the world as shameful, revealed the power and glory of God through Jesus’ death and resurrection! And this glory endures forever and ever!我是要得人的心呢,还是要得神的心呢?当我死在过犯罪恶中,谁能救我呢?Am I trying to win the approval of people—or of God? When I was dead in my sins and transgressions, who could save me? 了惟有耶稣为我的罪流血舍命,饶恕赦免,一次次拯救!Only Jesus, who shed His blood and gave His life for my sins—He forgives, redeems, and saves me again and again!
主啊,求你赦免我的不忠心,讨人的喜欢,就向罪妥协,落在网罗里…Lord, please forgive my unfaithfulness—seeking to please people, compromising with sin, and falling into the enemy’s snare… 主啊,你的话句句定准,肉体里一切的难受、惧怕、不信、虚荣、自我中心…只配得被钉上十字架!Lord, every word You speak is true and certain. All the discomfort, fear, unbelief, vanity, and self-centeredness in my flesh deserve nothing but to be crucified on the cross! 主,你把最宝贵的生命赐给我,我是属你的,帮助我更多恨恶罪,离弃罪,行出真理,单单讨你的喜悦,一生作你的仆人!Lord, You have given me the most precious gift—eternal life. I belong to You. Help me to hate sin more, to turn away from it, to live out the truth, and to seek only Your pleasure. May I be Your servant for life!(付传道Pastor Fu)
