說明：禮拜一到禮拜六，每天都要從朗讀本周的問答開始，然後仔細閱讀下面當天的靈修內容，以便對問答有更深的理解。最後閱讀並默想每段靈修之後的經文，最好多讀幾遍，甚至可以背誦下來。家人或小組成員可以就著當天的靈修內容和經文展開討論，並嘗試將所學內容與自己的實際生活結合起來。對英語原文部分感興趣的弟兄姐妹，可以用英文的內容再來一遍。
至於為何及如何學習教理問答，請讀本書的前言。
本周嘗試增加了英文音頻，也是本人讀的。用不到的話直接忽略O(∩_∩)O。如果沒有需要的，或者效果較差，試驗一周之後可能酌情終止上傳英文音頻。
主日2
第三問：你從何處知道你的愁苦呢？
答：從上帝的律法。
第四問：上帝的律法對我們有什麼要求？
答：基督在《馬太福音》二十二章三十七節至四十節中總括地教訓了我們：你要盡心、盡性、盡意、盡力愛主你的上帝。這是誡命中的第一，
且是最大的；其次也相仿，就是要愛人如己。這兩條誡命，是律法和先知一切道理的總綱。
第五問：你能全守這些誡命嗎？
回答：不能。因為我的本性是傾向於憎恨上帝和鄰舍的
禮拜一
上帝賜給我們的安慰足夠強大，不管我們面臨什麼，不論是生是死。要接受並享受這安慰，我們必須先明白我們有多麼需要上帝的恩賜。自從亞當和夏娃選擇順服撒但而非上帝，每一個人的每一部分都是生來有罪的。我們的思想是罪惡的。我們的意志是罪惡的。我們甚至意識不到我們有多麼罪惡，因為那本該在我們犯錯時提醒我們的良心也是罪惡的。我們的心是罪惡的，並且欺騙我們，讓我們以為自己很好，而事實上，我們處於上帝對我們的罪發怒的危險中。
上帝在祂的恩典中想要我們看到自己的罪惡和愁苦，這樣我們就會求告祂來將我們從中拯救出來。因此，上帝把祂的律法賜給我們。上帝的律法是祂要求我們遵守的、完全聖潔公義的標準。當我們將自己與他人比較，我們也許會顯得很不錯。但是當我們將自己與上帝完美的律法比較，我們就會看到自己是有罪的失敗者。在使徒保羅歸信主耶穌之前，他一生都非常努力地遵守每一條可能討上帝喜悅的律法。即便如此，當他讀到上帝的誡命說不可貪心——不要貪戀別人擁有的東西——他也意識到了自己原來是個怎樣的罪人。請讀羅馬書7:7。
羅馬書7:7這樣，我們可說什麼呢？律法是罪嗎？斷乎不是！只是非因律法，我就不知何為罪。非律法說「不可起貪心」，我就不知何為貪心。
LORD』S DAY 2
Q3. HOW DO YOU COME TO KNOW YOUR MISERY?
A. The law of God tells me.
Q4. WHAT DOES GOD』S LAW REQUIRE OF US?
A. Christ teaches us this in summary in Matthew 二十二:37–40:
「 『You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.』 This is the greatest and first commandment. 「And a second is like it: 『You shall love your neighbor as yourself.』 「On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.」
Q5. CAN YOU LIVE UP TO ALL THIS PERFECTLY?
A. No. I have a natural tendency to hate God and my neighbor.
MONDAY
God offers us comfort big enough for anything we』ll ever face, in life or in death. To receive and enjoy that comfort, we must first know how greatly we need what God offers. Ever since Adam and Eve chose to obey Satan instead of God, every human being has been born sinful in every part. Our minds are sinful. Our wills are sinful. We don’t even notice how sinful we are, because our consciences, which are supposed to show us when we’re doing something wrong, are sinful too. Our hearts are sinful, and they deceive us into thinking we’re fine when, really, we’re in danger of God’s wrath at our sin.
God, in his grace, wanted us to see our sin and misery so we would turn to him to save us from it. So God gave us his law. God’s law is the perfectly holy and righteous standard that he requires us to live by. When we compare ourselves with other people, we may look pretty good. But when we compare ourselves to God’s perfect law, we see what sinful failures we are. Before the apostle Paul put his faith in the Lord Jesus, he spent his whole life working very hard at obeying every rule that might possibly please God. Even so, when he read God’s command not to covet—not to want what other people have—he saw what a sinner he really was. Read Romans 7:7.
7 What then shall we say? That the law is sin? By no means! Yet if it had not been for the law, I would not have known sin. For I would not have known what it is to covet if the law had not said, 「You shall not covet.」
