如果你們聽了他的道，領了他的教，學了他的真理，就要脫去你們從前行為上的舊人，這舊人是因私慾的迷惑漸漸變壞的……（弗4:20-22）
保羅在迴轉之前很悖逆，驕傲殘酷，他也迫害過很多基督徒，並且試圖毀滅他們。他曾經真的很頑固、自私、自誇。但是當他寫信給加拉太教會的時候，他說「聖靈所結的果子是…溫柔、良善、順服」。保羅的順服來自神，不是人為的。溫柔並不是我們的本性，反之，我們的本性裡充滿驕傲自大。這就是為什麼新生對我們來說如此重要的原因，耶穌不單教導尼哥底母也教導我們每一個人「你們必須重生」。重生帶來順服，我們必須改變自己的本性。
Change of Heart/ February 25
Christ taught you! If you have really heard his voice . . . then throw off your old evil nature-the old you that was a partner in your evil ways . . . —Ephesians 4:20-22 (TLB)
Paul before his conversion was not meek. Proudly and brutally, he apprehended all Christians and sought to destroy them. He was bigoted, selfish, and vaunted. But when he wrote his warm and affectionate letter to the churches of Galatia, he said, among other things, 「The fruit of the Spirit is . . . gentleness, goodness . . . meekness.」 His meekness was something God-given, not something man-made. It is not our nature to be meek. On the contrary, it is our nature to be proud and haughty. That is why the new birth is so essential to each of us. That is why Jesus frankly and pointedly said not only to Nicodemus but to every one of us, 「Ye must be born again.」 Meekness begins there! You must have a change of nature.
Heavenly Father, give me the same kind of meekness that You gave to Jesus.
In Jesus' name,Amen！
天父，求你給我一顆順服的心，就像主耶穌基督順服你一樣。
奉主的名求，阿們！
