1-17節--愛成全了律法

出埃及記 第20章

神吩咐以色列民遵守的其他所有律法，都是建基於十誡之上。然而，除了耶穌基督之外，再沒有人能夠完全地守住律法。

我們不能謹守神的律法，本該受到神的懲罰；可是，基督卻替代我們受罰，甚至死在十字架上。因此，我們今天之所以得著神的救恩，完全是因為信靠基督，而絕非因為能守住律法。

有趣的是，十誡的其中九條，都在新約的書信中被重申，只有守安息日那條律法沒有提及。這條律法是神與猶太人立約的一部分。今天的信徒，通常在每週的第一日，即基督從死裡復活的星期日，一起聚集去敬拜神。

我們今天仍然恪守這九條誡命，完全是出於我們對神的愛。愛促使我們去成全神的律法；換句話說，我們遵行十誡，絕非是因為被逼，而是為了愛神和愛人(參羅馬書十三章8-10節)。

舉例說，你如果真的愛神，你怎會再拜其他偶像？你如果愛慕神的名，當然不會用祂的名來起誓或褻瀆祂的名。你如果愛神，就自自然然會愛你的父母及鄰舍。你的心若充滿對神的愛，以及對神所賜的配偶充滿愛，就絕不會做出淫亂的事。你的心若因著神的愛而滿足，又怎會貪婪別人的財物？愛完成了律法，並非是基於責任，而是因為愛自然驅使我們去服從。

我們又怎能讓自己的心充滿愛呢？我們未必能夠愛每一個人，但耶穌基督卻能夠。我們只要讓基督住在我們心裡，我們的心就自然充滿了愛；愛的力量必激發我們去遵守神的誡命，過討神喜悅的生活。

禱告：

主啊，求你住在我心裡，讓你的愛充滿我的心，以致這愛能流溢到別人的生命中。

LOVE, THE FULFILLING OF THE LAW

These Ten Commandments are the basis or foundation of all the other laws given by God to the Children of Israel. No one was ever able to keep them perfectly (except our Lord Jesus) and no one can today.

When Christ died, he paid the penalty which was on us for breaking Gods laws. We have salvation today through Christ and not through trying to keep the law.

It is interesting however to see that nine out of ten of these laws are repeated in the New Testament epistles. The one which is repeated concerns the Sabbath. That was part of Gods agreement with the Jews. Today we worship on Sunday, the first day of the week, the day on which Christ rose from the dead.

However, there are many of these nine points which we do keep today simply because we love God. Love fulfils Gods law, not because it is forced to do so but because it wants to do these things (see Romans 13:8-10).

For example if you really love God, will you want any other god? If you love Gods name, you wont use it in swearing or blasphemy. If you love God, you will surely find it easy to love your parents and your neighbours. You will never commit adultery, if your heart is filled with love for God and for the partner he has given you. You will never covet what other people have, if your heart is satisfied with love for God. Love fulfils the law, not because it has to, but because it is the nature of love to obey.

How can our hearts be filled with love? I cant love people like I should, but Jesus Christ can. If I let him live his life through me, it will be a life of love that pleases God and fulfils all his commandments.

A PRAYER:

Love this world through me, Lord.
