上帝要坚定不移的信心

我的弟兄姊妹们，你们落在百般的试炼中都要以为大喜乐，因为知道你们的信心经过试验就生忍耐，但忍耐也当成功，使你们成全完备，毫无缺欠。你们中间若有缺少智慧的，应当求那厚赐与众人，也不斥责人的 神，主就必赐给他。只要凭着信心求，一点不疑惑，因为那疑惑的人（信心不专），就像海中的波浪，被风吹动翻腾。这样的人，不要想从主那里得什么。心怀二意的人，在他一切所行的路上都没有定见。忍受试探的人是有福的，因为他经过试验以后，必得生命的冠冕，这是主应许给那些爱祂（并以坚定不移的信心行出上帝的旨意）之人的（雅各1:2-8，12）

人非有信就不能得 神的喜悦（更不要期望能从上帝得到什么），因为到 神面前来的人，必须信有 神，且信祂赏赐那寻求祂的人（希伯来11:6）

平安弟兄姊妹们！在我们的生命中，处处都需要一个对上帝有行动的信心：我们亲近上帝要靠着信心，我们蒙拯救是透过信心，我们蒙宽恕是透过信心，基督住在我们里面是透过我们的信心，我们得着圣灵是凭着信心，我们蒙保守是透过信心，我们能够坚定不移是靠着信心，我们抵挡魔鬼是靠着信心，我们战胜世界是靠着信心，我们战胜那恶者是靠着信心，我们战胜苦难是靠着信心，我们得着能力是透过信心。

GOD wants unwavering Faith

James 1: 2-8, 12 - Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds,  because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts (partial faith) is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.

12 Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him (and do HIS will through unwavering faith).

Heb. 11:6 confirmed that - “And without faith it is impossible to please God (don’t expect to receive anything from GOD), because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

Shalom Brothers and Sisters,

The place of FAITH in our lives:- We have access to GOD by faith, We have Salvation through faith, have forgiveness by faith, We have CHRIST indwelling us by faith, We receive the HOLY SPIRIT by faith, We are protected by faith, We stand firm by faith, We resist the devil by faith, We have victory over the world by faith, We have victory over the evil one by faith, We have victory over difficulties by faith, We have power through faith.

指正

弃绝管教的，必致贫受辱；领受责备的，必得尊荣（箴言13:18）

平安弟兄姊妹们！我们每个人都需要在生命中不断地改正，然而我们不是每个人都能柔和谦卑又甘心乐意地接受所需的指正。我们需要被指正，使我们能够保持远离通向错误终点的错误道路。

Correction

Pro.13:18 Poverty and shame will come him who distains correction, but he who regards a rebuke will be honored.

Shalom Brothers and Sisters,

We all need correction at many points along life’s journey, but not all of us graciously and willingly accept the correction we need. We need correction to keep us off the wrong path that leads to the wrong destination.

怒气不成就 神的义

不轻易发怒的，大有聪明；性情暴躁的，大显愚妄（箴言12:29）

平安弟兄姊妹们！也许我们把怒气发泄到别人身上后，会感觉舒服（片刻的）。可是，“人的怒气，并不成就 神的义”（雅各1:20）。我们不控制自己的暴躁性情，只会导致心痛。

the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of GOD

Pro. 14:29 – He who is slow to wrath has great understanding, but he who is impulsive exalts folly.

Shalom Brothers n Sisters,

It may feel good (for a short while) to vent our anger at someone. But “the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of GOD” (James 1:20). Failure to control a quick temper leads only to heartache.

上帝的眼目

耶和华的眼目无处不在，恶人善人，祂都鉴察（箴言15:3）

平安弟兄姊妹们！没有任何事情能够逃脱上帝的鉴察，因此没有任何事情能够出乎上帝的意料。在上帝，根本没有意外，所以祂永远都是在适当时候、精准地完成祂所要成就的旨意，就是奖赏或审判。

The eyes of the LORD

Pro. 15:3 – The eyes of the LORD are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good.

Shalom Brothers n Sisters,

Nothing ever escapes the notice of GOD, so nothing ever surprises HIM. Since nothing ever surprises HIM, HE always has exactly the right plans in place to accomplish precisely what HE desires – for reward or for judgment.

敬虔的商议

不先商议，所谋无效；谋士众多，所谋乃成（箴言15:22）

平安弟兄姊妹们！因为没有一个人看问题能够拥有无限的角度，所以我们需要谦卑邀请其他人（基督的真信徒）提出多种观点，指点我们作出最重要的决定和计划。上帝经常会用其他人（基督的真信徒）的观点，来向我们显明祂的旨意。

Godly counsel

Pro. 15:22 – Without counsel, plans go awry, but in the multitude of counselors they are established.

Shalom Brothers and Sisters,

Since none of us has an unlimited perspective, we need to invite multiple viewpoints outside of our own to inform our most important decisions and plans. GOD often uses the perspective of others (true follower of CHRIST) to show us HIS will.
