神愛你，並且為你的生命有一奇妙的計劃。

〈神的愛 God's Love〉
神愛世人，甚至將他的獨生子賜給他們，叫一切信他的，不至滅亡，反得永生。
～約翰福音３章１６節
"God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son,
that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life"
～John 3:16
〈神的計劃 God's Plan〉
耶穌說：「我來了是要叫人得生命，並且得的更豐盛。」
〈更有意義的生活〉
～約翰福音１０章１０節
Christ speaking："I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly"
< that it might be full and meaningful >
～John 10:10
為什麼大多數的人沒有經驗過這種豐盛的生命呢？
Why is it that most people are not experiencing the abundant life?

人因有罪而與神隔絕，所以不能知道並經驗神的愛和神為他生命的計劃。

〈人因有罪 Man Is Sinful〉
因為世人都犯了罪，虧缺了　神的榮耀。
～羅馬書３章２３節
All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God
～Romans 3:23
神創造人原是要人享受與祂同在一起的快樂，但因各人頑固任性，偏行己路，背向真神，以致與神隔絕。
這種向神任性的態度，使人對神漠不關心或公開反對，就是聖經所說的罪。
Man was created to have fellowship with God; but, because of his stubborn self-will, he chose to go his own independent way, and fellowship with God was broken. This self-will, characterized by an attitude of active rebellion or passive indifference, is an evidence of what the Bible calls sin.

〈與神隔絕 Man Is Separated〉
「因為罪的工價乃是死。」
〈靈性與神隔絕〉
～羅馬書６章２３節
"The wages of sin is death"
　　　　　< spiritual separation from God >
～Romans 6:23
　

聖潔的神與有罪的人中間，有如深淵隔絕。雖然人不斷用自己的方法，就如善行、道德、宗教、哲學等，來尋求神和豐盛的生命，但是總是得不著。
This diagram illustrates that God is holy and man is sinful. A great gulf separates the two. The arrows illustrate that man is continually trying to reach God and the abundant life through his own efforts, such as a good life, philosophy, or religion - but he inevitably fails.

耶穌基督是神為人的罪所預備的唯一救法。藉著祂你可以知道並經驗神的愛和神為你生命的計劃。

〈耶穌為我們死 Jesus Died in Our Place〉
　

神差祂的兒子耶穌基督，為我們的罪死在十字架上，成為神與人中間的橋樑，溝通了兩者之間的深淵。
God has bridged the gulf which separates us from Him by sending His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross in our place to pay the penalty for our sins.

我們必須親自接受耶穌基督作救主和生命的主，這樣我們才能知道並經驗神的愛和神為我們生命的計劃。

〈我們必須接受基督 We Must Receive Christ〉
　

凡接待他的，就是信他名的人，他就賜他們權柄，作　神的兒女。
～約翰福音１章１２節
"As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name"
～John 1:12
　

〈我們藉著信心接受基督 We Receive Christ Through Faith〉
　

你們得救是本乎恩，也因著信。這並不是出於自己，乃是　神所賜的；也不是出於行為，免得有人自誇。
～以弗所書２章８～９節
"By grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast"
～Ephesians 2:8~9
　

〈我們必須親自邀請基督進入心中 We Receive Christ by Personal Invitation〉
　

耶穌說：「看哪，我站在門外叩門，若有聽見我聲音就開門的，我要進到他那裡去。」
～啟示錄３章２０節
Christ speaking,"Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if any one hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him"
～Revelation 3:20
　

接受基督包括從自我轉向神〈悔改〉，相信基督進入我們的生命，赦免我們的罪，使我們成為合神心意的人。人只在理智上同意關於基督的真理，或只有一些情感的經驗，都是不夠的。我們必須藉著信心〈意志的行動〉去接受基督。
Receiving Christ involves turning to God from self (repentance) and trusting Christ to come into our lives to forgive our sins and to make us what He wants us to be. Just to agree intellectually that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that He died on the cross for our sins is not enough. Nor is it enough to have an emotional experience. We receive Jesus Christ by faith, as an act of the will.

惟有基督在我們還作罪人的時候為我們死，　神的愛就在此向我們顯明了。
～羅馬書５章８節
"God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us"
～Romans 5:8
　

〈耶穌從死裡復活 Jesus Rose From the Dead〉
　

基督照聖經所說，為我們的罪死了，而且埋葬了，又照聖經所說，第三天復活了，並且顯給磯法看 ，然後顯給十二使徒看，後來一時顯給五百多弟兄看。
～哥林多前書１５章３～６節
"Christ died for our sins...He was buried...He was raised on the third day, according to the Scriptures...He appeared to Peter, then to the twelve.
After that He appeared to more than five hundred..."
～1 Corinthians 15:3~6
　

〈耶穌是唯一的道路 Jesus Is the Only Way to God〉
　

耶穌說：「我就是道路、真理、生命，若不藉著我，沒有人能到父那裡去。」
～約翰福音１４章６節
"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me'"
～John 14:6
