Words of the Day

Let’s meditate on the name of God – Ab, Abba, Pater – Father. The word Abba is an Aramaic word that means “Father.” It was a common term that expressed affection and confidence and trust. Abba signifies the close, intimate relationship of a father and his child, as well as the childlike trust that a young child puts in his “daddy.” But the right to be a child of God and call Him “Abba Father” is something that only born-again Christians have. When we are born again, we are adopted into the family of God, redeemed from the curse of sin, and made heirs of God. Part of that new relationship is that God now deals with us differently, as family. What a privilege that we have to call God “Abba, Father!” who is the source of our hope and life.
讓我們思想神的名字Ab, Abba, Pater父親。Abba 這個詞是一個亞蘭語詞，是“父親”的意思。這是一個表達愛意、信心和信任的常用詞。 Abba 象徵著父親和他的孩子之間的親密的關係，以及年幼的孩子對他的“爸爸”的孩子般的信任。但是，成為神的孩子並稱祂為“阿爸父”的權利是只有重生的基督徒才有的權利。當我們重生時，我們被收養到神的家中，從罪的咒詛中被救贖出來，成為神的後嗣。這種新關係的一部分是神現在以不同的方式對待我們，就像家人一樣。這是多麼榮幸能稱神“阿爸，父親！”，祂是我們希望和生命的源泉。

John 1:12-13

However, he gave the right 
to become God’s children
 to everyone who believed in him. 
These people didn’t become God’s children 
in a physical way—from a human impulse 
or from a husband’s desire to have a child. 
They were born from God.

約翰福音 1:12-13

凡接待他的，就是信他名的人，
他就賜他們權柄，
作神的兒女。
這等人不是從血氣生的，
不是從情慾生的，
也不是從人意生的，
乃是從神生的。
