What freedom have you experienced as you have forgiven others?
饶恕他人后你经历过什么样的自由?
_
If you have ever held a grudge against someone, you know that holding a grudge occupies a lot of the space in your heart and mind. In fact, if you hold on to a grudge for too long, it will not take up space, but it will start taking over! Unforgiveness left unchecked will quietly take control of you and whether you realize it or not, you will become trapped. Your relationship with others will be hindered and even worse than that, your relationship with God will start to feel the constricting effects of unforgiveness.
如果你曾经对某人怀恨在心,你肯定明白怨恨会占据你大量心思意念的空间。实际上,如果你怀恨时间过长,它不会占据那些空间,而是会开始掌管那些空间。没有消解的不饶恕之心会悄然掌控你,不管你是否意识到,你将会陷入困境。你与他人的关系会受到阻碍,更糟的是,你与Shen的关系也会因为不饶恕的心而感到被束缚。
The key to unlock the invisible prison of unforgiveness is simply: forgiveness! When we forgive others, we experience freedom to move forward. We have hope for the future and are no longer trapped by the negative events of the past.
解开不饶恕所带来的无形牢笼的钥匙很简单:饶恕!当我们饶恕他人时,我们经历到让我们继续前行的自由。我们对未来充满希望,不再被过往的负面事件所牵制。
Through forgiveness we have freedom from any accusations from the enemy.
借着饶恕,我们拥有免于被敌人控告的自由
“In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold…
Ephesians 4:26-27
即使生气也不要犯罪;不可含怒到日落, 不可给魔鬼留地步。
以弗所书 4:26-27 RCUVSS
生气却不要犯罪;不可含怒到日落,也不可给魔鬼留地步。
以弗所书 4:26-27
Withholding forgiveness is tied to anger and is an act of sin, which gives victory to the enemy for using us as an instrument of evil rather than good.
不饶恕与愤怒紧密相关,是罪的一种表现。而这罪会让敌人通过利用我们的恶而得胜,而不是让我们以善胜恶。
“Do not be overcome by evil but overcome evil with good.”
Romans 12:21
不要被恶所胜,反要以善胜恶。
罗马书 12:21 RCUVSS
你不可为恶所胜,反要以善胜恶。
罗马书12:21
Evil can overcome the Christian only when the Christian returns evil for evil. If someone insults you and snarls at you, you are not overcome. You are overcome by evil if you begin to snarl right back. Then the unpleasant person has become your role model. You are copying evil and evil is overcoming you. If someone hates you and you hate him back, then evil is getting the victory. If someone strikes you and you strike back, then you have become like the evil one.
只有当 Ji Du Tu 以恶制恶时,恶才能胜过Ji Du Tu。当有人侮辱你或对你怒吼时,你没有被战胜,而当你开始以怒吼回应时,你就被恶战胜了。那个让人不悦的人就变成了你的行为榜样,你在复制邪恶,邪恶战胜了你。如果有人讨厌你,你也回之以厌恶,那么恶就得胜了。如果有人打你,你也打回去,那么你也变成了那恶者。
Through forgiveness we are freed from grieving God
借着饶恕,我们拥有免于让 Shen 忧伤的自由
And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
Ephesians 4:30-32不要使 Shang Di 的 Sheng Ling 担忧,你们原是受了他的印记,等候得救赎的日子来到。 一切苦毒、愤怒、恼恨、嚷闹、毁谤,和一切的恶毒都要从你们中间除掉。 要仁慈相待,存怜悯的心,彼此饶恕,正如 Shang Di 在 Ji Du 里饶恕了你们一样。
以弗所书 4:30-32 RCUVSS
Through forgiveness we are freed up to experience God working on our behalf
接着饶恕,我们拥有经历 Shen 替我们伸冤的自由
Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.”
Romans 12:19各位亲爱的,不要自己伸冤,宁可给 Zhu 的愤怒留地步,因为经上记着:“Zhu 说:‘伸冤在我,我必报应。’”
罗马书 12:19 RCUVSS
Through forgiveness we are free to become an instrument of true love
借着饶恕,我们拥有传递真正的爱的自由
You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.
Galatians 5:13-15弟兄们,你们蒙召是要得自由;只是不可把这将你们的自由当作放纵情欲的机会,总要用爱心互相服侍。 因为全部律法都包括在“爱邻人 如己”这一句话之内了。 你们要谨慎,你们若相咬相吞,恐只怕要彼此消灭了。
加拉太书 5:13-15 RCUVSS
Unforgiveness restricts our capacity and ability to truly love. Forgiveness sets us free!
不饶恕会限制我们真正去爱的能力,饶恕会释放我们得享自由!
