第02个主日 第一部分 愁苦
第三问
Q. How do you come to know your misery?
你是如何知道你的愁苦的?
A. The law of God tells me. [1]
神的律法如此告诉我。[1]
- Rom. 3:20; 7:7-25
第四问
Q. What does God’s law require of us?
神的律法对我们有什么要求?
A. Christ teaches us this in summary in Matthew 22:37-40:
“‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ [1] This is the greatest and first commandment.
“And a second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ [2]
“On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”
在马太福音第22章37到40节里,基督以此总结教训我们:
你要尽心、尽性、尽意,爱主你的 神。[1] 这是诫命中的第一,且是最大的。 其次也相仿,就是要爱人如己。[2] 这两条诫命是律法和先知一切道理的总纲。
- Deut. 6:5
- Lev. 19:18
第五问
Q. Can you live up to all this perfectly?
你能完全遵守这些律法而活着吗?
A. No. [1]
I have a natural tendency to hate God and my neighbor. [2]
不能。[1]
我有天然的趋向会恨神和我的邻舍。[2]
