【罗4:17上】亚伯拉罕所信的，是那叫死人复活、使无变为有的神，他在主面前作我们世人的父。【Romans4:17a】He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed—the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being things that were not.

圣经说：“亚伯拉罕信神，这就算为他的义。”The Bible says, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”亚伯拉罕虽然想到自己的身体如同已死，撒拉的生育已经断绝，他的信心还是不软弱。Although Abraham considered his body as good as dead and Sarah’s womb was also dead, he did not weaken in faith. 亚伯拉罕深信不疑，他相信自己一定会按照神所应许的，生一个儿子。He was fully convinced that God would do what He had promised that he would indeed have a son. 因他所信的，是那叫死人复活、使无变为有的神，在神没有难成的事。For he believed in the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being things that are not. With God, nothing is impossible.

祂相信神的应许永不落空，他看重神的约，看重与神的关系，He believed that God’s promises would never fail. He valued God’s covenant and his relationship with God. 神怎么说必要怎么成就，他就是这样坚定的信神的应许。He was fully convinced that what God said would surely come to pass. He was unwavering in his faith in God’s promises. 不凭眼见，身体如同已死，生育已经断绝，看似不可能的事，Not relying on what he could see, though his body was as good as dead and Sarah’s womb was closed, he believed in what seemed impossible. 只凭信心，坚定仰望神的应许，总没有因不信，心里起疑惑，反倒因信，心里得坚固，将荣耀归给神，且满心相信神所应许的必能作成。 He relied solely on faith, never wavering through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised.

主啊，求主赦免我的小信和不信，很多时候就靠着血肉膀臂行事，又苦有难，跟你的关系若即若离。Lord, please forgive my little faith and unbelief. So often I rely on my own strength and struggle, and my relationship with You becomes distant. 今天亚伯拉罕的信心实在感动了我，让我们行走在这天路上，更多的认识你的全能。Today, Abraham’s faith has truly moved me. As we walk this journey, may we come to know Your omnipotence more deeply.  你是叫人从死里复活，使无变有的神。我也相信，你在我们当中也凡事都能。You are the God who raises the dead and calls things into existence. I too believe that You are able to do all things among us. 复兴神的国看似困难重重，因信，不看我们的困难有多么的大，而是看我们的神有多么的伟大。The revival of Your Kingdom may seem difficult, but by faith, we do not look at the size of our difficulties, but at the greatness of our God.

主啊，你从起初创造宇宙万物，又常用你的权能托住万有，Lord, You created the universe from the beginning, and You uphold all things by Your mighty power. 你又使耶稣基督从死里复活，胜过一切死亡、阴间的权势，显明你是叫死人复活的神。You raised Jesus Christ from the dead, overcoming all powers of death and the grave, revealing You are the God who raises the dead. 如今，这位全知全能全爱的神，祂以圣灵的形式住在我们里面。Now, this all-knowing, all-powerful, and all-loving God dwells within us through the Holy Spirit. 我们的心要专心仰望你，不再倚靠自己的聪明，凡事认定信靠你，Our hearts are set to trust You wholeheartedly, no longer relying on our own understanding, but acknowledging You in all things. 以信为本，经历使无变有，死里复活，与有信心的亚伯拉罕一同得福。With faith as our foundation, we experience the God who calls things that are not as though they are, who raises the dead, and we are blessed along with the faithful Abraham.（郭姊妹Sister Guo）
