當我說我是一位基督徒
基督徒,英文是 Christian,有人說是 Christ 和 ian 兩個字的結合,也就是 Christ, I am nothing。我們愈看自己不行,我們就愈需要神的拯救。我們愈覺得自己各方面都不錯,我們就與神漸行漸遠了。
箴言-Proverbs 15:33
敬畏耶和华是智慧的训诲,尊荣以前必有谦卑。
The fear of Jehovah is the instruction of wisdom, And humility comes before honor.
箴言-Proverbs 18:12
败坏之先,人心高傲;尊荣以前,必有谦卑。
Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, But before honor goes humility.
基督徒不是三頭六臂。基督徒承認自己的軟弱和失敗,才會來到神的施恩座前,得憐憫,受恩惠。惟有承認自己不行,才會伏在神的權柄之下。下面這首詩歌唱出基督徒的心聲,願能得到你的共鳴,正確認識基督徒。感謝主!
When I say, “I am a Christian”
I’m not shouting, “I’ve been saved!”
I’m whispering, “I get lost!
That’s why I chose this way”
When I say, “I am a Christian”
I don’t speak with human pride
I’m confessing that I stumble -
needing God to be my guide
When I say, “I am a Christian”
I’m not trying to be strong
I’m professing that I’m weak
and pray for strength to carry on
When I say, “I am a Christian”
I’m not bragging of success
I’m admitting that I’ve failed
and cannot ever pay the debt
When I say, “I am a Christian”
I don’t think I know it all
I submit to my confusion
asking humbly to be taught
When I say, “I am a Christian”
I’m not claiming to be perfect
My flaws are far too visible
but God believes I’m worth it
When I say, “I am a Christian”
I still feel the sting of pain
I have my share of heartache
which is why I seek His name
When I say, “I am a Christian”
I do not wish to judge
I have no authority
I only know I’m loved
