讚美祭 – 大衛的鑰匙 The Sacrifice of Praise/The Key of David
希伯來書 Hebrews 13:15-16
15 我們應當靠著耶穌,常常以頌讚為祭獻給神,這就是那承認主名之人嘴唇的果子。16 只是不可忘記行善和捐輸的事;因為這樣的祭,是神所喜悅的。
15 Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his name. 16 And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.
詩篇 Psalms 103:1-5
1 我的心哪,你要稱頌耶和華!凡在我裡面的,也要稱頌他的聖名!2 我的心哪,你要稱頌耶和華!不可忘記他的一切恩惠!3 他赦免你的一切罪孽,醫治你的一切疾病。4 他救贖你的命脫離死亡,以仁愛和慈悲為你的冠冕。5 他用美物使你所願的得以知足,以致你如鷹返老還童。
1 Of David. Praise the LORD, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. 2 Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits– 3 who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, 4 who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, 5 who satisfies your desires with good ...
羅馬書 Romans 1:16-17
16 我不以福音為恥;這福音本是神的大能,要救一切相信的,先是猶太人,後是希利尼人。17 因為神的義正在這福音上顯明出來;這義是本於信,以致於信。如經上所記:「義人必因信得生。」
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”
神保護的應許 The Promises of God’s Protection
詩篇 Psalms 91:1-2
住在至高者隱密處的,必住在全能者的蔭下。我要論到耶和華說:他是我的避難所,是我的山寨,是我的神,是我所倚靠的。
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
以賽亞書 Isaiah 61:1-2
主耶和華的靈在我身上;因為耶和華用膏膏我,叫我傳好信息給謙卑的人,差遣我醫好傷心的人,報告被擄的得釋放,被囚的出監牢;報告耶和華的恩年,和我們神報仇的日子;安慰一切悲哀的人,
The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn,
忘記背後,努力面前 Forgetting What is Behind and Straining Toward What is Ahead
腓利比書 Philippians 3:13-14
1 弟兄們,我不是以為自己已經得著了;我只有一件事,就是忘記背後,努力面前的,向著標竿直跑,要得神在基督耶穌裡從上面召我來得的獎賞。
Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
愛既完全,就把懼怕除去 Perfect love casts out fear
約翰一書 I John 4:18
愛裡沒有懼怕;愛既完全,就把懼怕除去。因為懼怕裡含著刑罰,懼怕的人在愛裡未得完全。
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

我賜給你們一條新命令,乃是叫你們彼此相愛;我怎樣愛你們,你們也要怎樣相愛。你們若有彼此相愛的心,眾人因此就認出你們是我的門徒了。」
