以赛亚书［第四十四章］|Book of Isaiah 44【真神与假神】
26/07/2022
曾经有人经历过在信仰中上当受骗，所以从此不再敢接触任何的信仰。其实世上有真钱，也有假钱，人不会因假钱就不再用钱，所以对于信仰，关键也在于我们是否懂得分辨，并去认定那个真实的信仰，以及认定背后那位真实的神。进入以赛亚书44章，神的话语正是在告诉我们真神和假神的区别。
一、有关真神
1. 解决人生命的渴（V1-5）
以色列的真神应许要赐下圣灵，来解决人生命会空虚和干渴的问题，也让人的生命能够成长如溪水旁永不枯干的柳树，以至于最终人都要来自豪地承认自己就是这位耶和华神的子民。
2. 乃永远坚固磐石（V6-8）
以色列的真神是永活的，是祂创造了这个世界，也是祂掌管着这个世界的尽头。他知道过去，也清楚现在和未来，所以在如今世界的动荡中，这位永在的真神仍要来成为我们坚固的磐石，以至于我们的生命也一样能够坚固不摇动。
3. 赦罪并施行救赎（V21-28）
以色列的真神赦免人的罪孽，挪走人因为犯罪而来的良心亏欠，并且祂要使百姓衰落的生命重新进入复兴！
二、有关假神
1. 人手所造，于人无益（V9-17）
人手所造的偶像是假神，它们是虚空的，是对人无益的，它们完全无法拯救人脱离灾祸。
2. 使人蒙蔽，活在虚晃（V18-20）
对假神的敬拜，会使人陷入到蒙蔽，活在虚晃的里面，不仅看不清楚自己所做的事是没有意义的，更是还看不见真理和真相！
总结：
以色列的神乃是自有永有的真神，祂是创造主，并非人手所造。人若敬拜祂，就必得着祂应许的赦罪，并得着赦罪后的平安；人若敬拜祂，也必得着应许的圣灵，生命永不枯干；人若敬拜祂，祂更是应许祂要在我们人生的高山和低谷里都作我们生命坚固的磐石。
反过来，假神乃人所创造出来的，牠无法赦免人的罪，所以也无法救人脱离罪恶带来的愧疚和刑罚。而且敬拜假神，还会让人活在蒙蔽中，导致无法看见真理，就继续活在败坏的生命中！
Isaiah 44: True God and False Gods
GK611 Morning Devotion
26/7/2022
Speaker: IP Moses Ou + Rev David Tan
Introduction:
There are people who have experienced being deceived in their faith and have never dared to touch any faith again. In fact, there is real money and there is fake money, and people do not stop using money because of fake money. Therefore, the key to faith also lies in whether we know how to distinguish and identify the real faith and the real God behind it. Entering Isaiah 44, the Word of God is telling us the difference between the true God and the false god.
1. About true God
(1) Quenching the thirst of man's life (1-5)
The true God of Israel promised to give the Holy Spirit to solve the problem of the emptiness and thirst of man's life, and to enable his life to grow like a willow tree that never dries up beside a stream, so that eventually all men will come to proudly confess that they are the people of the LORD God.
(2) The everlasting solid rock (6-8)
The true God of Israel is living forever, and it is He who created this world and who holds the end of it. He knows the past, the present and the future, so that in the midst of the turmoil of the world today, the living God will come to be our solid rock, so that our lives will be just as strong and unshakable.
(3) Forgiveness of sins and redemption (21-28)
The true God of Israel forgives the sins of men and removes the debts of conscience that come from sin, and He will bring the declining lives of the people back into revival!
2. About false gods
(1) They are made by human hands and are of no benefit to man (9-17)
The idols made by human hands are false gods, they are empty and unprofitable, and they cannot save people from calamities at all. (2) Blinded people and made them live in falsehood (18-20)
The worship of false gods will lead people to be blinded and live in falsehood, not only not seeing clearly the meaninglessness of what they are doing, but also not seeing the truth and the true situation!
Conclusion:
The God of Israel is the true and eternal God, who is the Creator, not made with hands. If a man worships Him, he will receive His promised forgiveness of sins and the peace that comes with it; if a man worships Him, he will receive the promised Holy Spirit, and his life will never dry up; if a man worships Him, He has promised that He will be the solid rock of our lives in the mountains and valleys of our lives.
On the contrary, false gods are man's creation, and they cannot forgive man's sins, and therefore cannot save him from the guilt and punishment of sin. Moreover, worshiping false gods leads to living in obscurity, so that one cannot see the truth and continues to live in a corrupt life!
