神是圣洁,圣洁,圣洁,毫无瑕疵。祂是光,在祂毫无黑暗,完全圣洁公义。God is holy, holy, holy, without blemish. He is light, and in Him, there is no darkness—He is completely holy and righteous. 旧约里,祭司要借着牛羊的血才能到神面前,带着罪会被击杀,因为神是圣洁的。In the Old Testament, the priests could only come before God through the blood of bulls and goats; anyone who came with sin would be struck down, for God is holy. 非圣洁,没有人能见神的面!主啊,照我们的本相,只配得被击杀,因为我们从里到外,满身是罪污。凭着自己,我们永远无法靠近你。Without holiness, no one can see the face of God! O Lord, in our own state, we deserve to be struck down, for we are full of sin inside and out. By ourselves, we can never draw near to You.
是耶稣为我们死,为我们流血,代替我们的罪受刑罚,我们才能与天父亲近。It is Jesus who died for us, shed His blood, and took the punishment for our sins so that we might draw near to the Father. 主,感谢赞美你,何等恩典,我们被赦免,被洗净,并且得着神儿子的生命。主啊,你是圣洁的,你召我们,为要叫我们成为圣洁。Lord, we thank and praise You for such grace—how great it is that we are forgiven, cleansed, and given the life of the Son of God. O Lord, You are holy, and You have called us to be holy. 在一切所行的事上,你要除去我们的罪,是我们被你的圣洁、公义和爱掌权,越来越像你。In all that we do, You seek to remove our sin so that we may be ruled by Your holiness, righteousness, and love, becoming more and more like You.
主,在你的光中,我才看到自己的心满了争竞、嫉妒、苦毒、埋怨、自私、自爱、骄傲、自大、背逆、不信、惧怕、贪婪…Lord, in Your light, I see my own heart filled with strife, jealousy, bitterness, complaints, selfishness, self-love, pride, arrogance, rebellion, unbelief, fear, and greed… 我的罪是如此深重,你却甘心舍命,一次又一次拯救,你不愿我死在过犯中遭咒诅。My sin is so great, yet You willingly gave Your life and saved me again and again, unwilling for me to die in transgressions under a curse. 求你赦免我,专注做事,不顾内心,放纵了肉体的私欲,错过了许多得着你丰盛生命的机会。Forgive me for being so focused on my works, neglecting my heart, indulging the desires of the flesh, and missing many opportunities to receive the fullness of Your life.
主,我无论做什么都不能成为圣洁,感谢你赐下圣灵住在我里面,帮助我把你的话存在心里,使我心意更新而变化。Lord, no matter what I do, I cannot make myself holy. Thank You for giving me the Holy Spirit to dwell within me, helping me to keep Your Word in my heart and to be transformed by the renewing of my mind. 因信你拯救的美意,在一切所行的事上,认定你,寻求你,与做事的律争战,胜过惧怕,控制…By trusting in Your saving will, may I acknowledge and seek You in all that I do, battling against the law of works and overcoming fear and control. 使我因信你真道,被圣灵感动,成为圣洁,顺服圣灵而行,能以得救,来荣耀你的名。“May I, through faith in Your truth and the prompting of the Holy Spirit, become holy, walk in obedience to the Spirit, and be saved, that Your name may be glorified.”(付传道 Pastor Fu)
