罗马书［第10章|Book of Romans 10【明白神对人的心意】
15/06/2023
引言：
其实，明白神对人的心意非常重要。唯有如此，我们才懂得走在神的心意当中，也活出讨神喜悦的生命。
一、有真理，有热心（v1-4）
没有真理的宗教热忱不但不能叫人蒙神悦纳，反而会把人拦阻在神的恩典之外。热心并救恩的心意必须与真理配合；否则热心只会带来祸害。保罗说犹太人是有热心的，但因为不信基督，因此把热心放在错误的事上，即遵守律法。
然而，律法的道路是透过信耶稣后才达到目的。律法没有拯救的能力，而耶稣基督却是唯一的出路。因此，我们有热心，也要有真理。
二、口里认，心里信（v5-11）
「信」不只是在心里信，还要是一种有足够的勇气在人前承认的信心，才是真正的信。基督已经藉着成为肉身和复活使我们得救，我们所须作的，就是回应并接受这救恩的礼物。因此，我们就要口里承认，并心里相信耶稣是主。
三、救恩门，为众开（v12-13）
神的救恩之门向犹太人和外邦人都同样敞开，凡凭信心支取的人都可得着救恩。神没有偏待犹太人，也没有偏待外邦人。
如今，神同样没有偏待任何人。世人在神面前既都是罪人，并没有分别，这样我们可以藉信心在神前蒙恩，也没有分别。
四、报福音，传喜信（v14-18）
保罗带出早就有「报福音、传喜信」的人把福音带给犹太人，所以他们不能找借口说，他们没有听到福音而不信主。他们实际的问题是，他们听见了，但不愿意相信，也不领受。
今天，世上也有许多人并不是没有听过福音，但他们不愿意相信。然而，既是如此，神还是盼望我们成为，「报福音，传喜信」的人。
总结：神呼召，盼归回（v19-21）
神向那愚昧无知的外邦人是主动施恩，向那悖逆顶撞的以色列人以慈爱召唤。即使那些我们觉得叛逆硬心的人，神都是伸手呼唤他们。所以，我们只管放胆去传和讲，因为神的爱已为每一个人预备了！
愿我们都成为一个奉差遣、传福音、报喜信的人！
Romans 10: Understanding God's will for man
GK611 Morning Devotion
14/06/2023
Speaker: Ps Stella Ling
Introduction:
In fact, it is very important to understand God's will for people. Only then will we know how to walk in God's will and live a life that is pleasing to God.
1. Truth and Zeal (v1-4)
Religious zeal without truth does not make people pleasing to God, but can keep them out of God's grace. Zeal and a saving heart must be matched with truth; otherwise zeal will only bring misfortune. Paul says that the Jews were zealous, but because they did not believe in Christ, they set their zeal on the wrong thing, namely, keeping the law.
However, the way of the law is only achieved through faith in Jesus. The law has no power to save, but Jesus Christ is the only way out. Therefore, we must have zeal as well as truth.
2. Confessing with the mouth and believing in the heart (v5-11)
"Faith" is not just believing in the heart, but also a faith that has enough courage to confess before men to be true faith. Christ has saved us through his incarnation and resurrection, and all we have to do is to respond to and accept this gift of salvation. Therefore, we must confess with our mouths and believe in our hearts that Jesus is Lord.
3. The door of salvation, open for all (v12-13)
The door of God's salvation is open to both Jews and Gentiles alike, and salvation is available to all who have faith to pay for it. God is not partial to the Jews or to the Gentiles.
Today, God does not show partiality to anyone. As all men are sinners before God, there is no distinction, so that we may receive grace through faith before God, and there is no distinction.
4. The gospel and the glad tidings (v14-18)
Paul brings out the fact that there were already those who "reported the gospel and preached the glad tidings" to bring the gospel to the Jews, so that they could not make the excuse that they had not heard the gospel and did not believe in the Lord. Their real problem was that they had heard it, but were not willing to believe it or receive it.
Today, too, there are many people in the world who have not failed to hear the gospel, but they are unwilling to believe it. However, as it is, God still expects us to be people who "proclaim the gospel and spread the glad tidings".
Conclusion: God calls, expects to return (v19-21)
God is actively gracious to the foolish and ignorant Gentiles and lovingly calls out to the rebellious and argumentative Israelites. Even those whom we feel are rebellious and hard-hearted, God is reaching out to call them. So let us only be bold to preach and speak, for God's love is prepared for everyone!
May we all be a people who are sent, who preach the gospel and who proclaim the glad tidings!
