讀 經：使徒行傳16：25-34
金 句：「不信上帝的，就是將上帝當作說謊的，因不信上帝為他兒子作的見證。」（約翰一書5：10）
全年讀經：詩篇40-42篇
很多人認為，我們必將昇天的看法是錯誤的。但聖經告訴我們可以確信如此。
耶穌說：「信我的人有永生」（約翰福音6：47）。因此，按上帝要求去做的人就會得到救贖，對此提出疑問，就好比說上帝撒謊，這是嚴重的罪惡。我們應當信賴上帝的話，就是「凡信耶穌是基督的，都是從上帝而生」（約翰一書5：1）。
有人曾問一位信徒：「你覺得你的罪獲得饒恕了嗎？」信徒回答說：「不，我並不常常感到我的罪已被饒恕，而是確實知道我的罪已獲得饒恕，因為上帝在聖經中是這樣說的！」
保羅並沒有說：「當信主耶穌基督，你會"感到"你獲救了。」他說：「當信主耶穌，你和你一家都"必"得救」（使徒行傳16：31）。並不是所有的人在他們開始信耶穌基督，並獲得拯救的禮物時，就能感覺到罪惡已被饒恕，但無論如何他們是獲救了。可能他們需要一段時間才能感覺到。
上帝能聽見最微弱的呼求拯救的聲音，而且他會答覆我們的呼求。你的信仰要建立在聖經固若磐石的基礎上，而不應建立在你那沉沙一般的感覺之上。HGB
他在十字架上為我而死，
他揹負了可怕的懲罰；
現在我已獲救直到永遠──
我已獲救！獲救！獲救！Smith
獲救不是感覺，而是信心。
Feeling Or Faith?
Read: Acts 16:25-34
He who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of His Son. --1 John 5:10
Many people seem to think that it's wrong to say we know we are bound for heaven. But the Bible tells us we can be sure.
Jesus said, "He who believes in Me has everlasting life" (Jn. 6:47). To question, therefore, whether one has been redeemed after he has fulfilled God's requirement for salvation is to call God a liar! This is a terrible sin. How much better to trust God's Word, which says, "Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God" (1 Jn. 5:1).
A believer was once asked, "Do you feel that your sins are forgiven?" "No," was the reply, "I do not always feel that they are forgiven, but I know they are, because God says so in His Word!"
Paul did not say, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will feel that you are saved." He said, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved" (Acts 16:31). Not all people feel that their sins are forgiven the moment they put their faith in Jesus Christ and receive the gift of salvation, but they are saved nonetheless. The feeling may come later.
Even the faintest cry to God for salvation is heard and answered. Rest on the rock-solid foundation of the Word, not on the sinking sand of your feeling! --Henry G. Bosch (ODB Editor 1956-1981)
He died upon the cross for me,
He bore the awful penalty;
And now I'm saved eternally--
I'm saved! Saved! Saved! --Smith
