The Holy Spirit's Work in the Hearts of Men

人遠離神，悖逆神，執迷不悟
人不願順服，不願守本分，也不願忠於神
因此，需要有ㄧ股更高的能力
來降服頑梗的人心，使人乖乖就範
叫人能夠愛上帝，恨惡ㄧ切罪惡
為此，神差聖靈來到世上
為此，神世世代代在人心中動工
－1760年，普林斯頓大學校長，山姆戴維斯牧師

"Men are estranged from God, and engaged in rebellion against him; and they love to continue so. They will not submit, nor return to their duty and allegiance. Hence there is need of a superior power to subdue their stubborn hearts, and sweetly constrain them to subjection; to inspire them with the love of God, and an implacable detestation of all sin. And for this purpose, the holy Spirit of God is sent into the world: for this purpose, he is at work, from age to age, upon the hearts of men."

- Rev. Samuel Davies, President of Princeton University, 1760

Most people think that they are pretty good and if there is a God, God would be happy with them. They do not really think they are in rebellion.
人心說平安平安，但戰爭已經來到門口。
The human heart says, "Peace, Peace", when War, War, is at your very door.

A Gospel Summary of the Bible's Message

Heaven is a free gift.
天堂是免費的禮物。

It’s not something you can work for or deserve.
它不是你可以賺取或應得的。

Man is a sinner and can not save himself.
人是罪人，不能救自己。

God is holy, loving and just.
上帝是聖潔、慈愛又公義。

On the one hand, God loves us and does not want to punish us.
一方面，祂是慈愛；所以不願意處罰我們。

On the other hand, he is just and must punish sin.
另一方面，祂是公義；所以必須處罰罪惡。

Do you see the problem?
你瞭解這個問題嗎？

God solved this problem by sending Jesus.
上帝派耶穌來解決這個問題。

Jesus is God.
耶穌就是上帝。

He came from heaven to earth, lived a perfect life, died on the cross to pay for our sins, was buried and rose from the dead on the third day.
祂從天堂來到世間，活過一個完美的生命，為贖我們的罪債死在十字架上，然後從死裡第三天復活。

He is in heaven now, offering us the free gift of eternal life.
現今祂在天堂要賜給我們永生的禮物。

This gift received by faith.
這禮物要用信心接受。

Faith is not just knowing about God in your head.
信心不是單用頭腦知道上帝。

Faith is not just temporary.
信心也不是暫時的。

Saving faith is trusting in Jesus Christ alone with your whole heart.
信心是用整個心單單信靠耶穌基督。

Does this make sense to you?
以上所說你明白嗎？

Would you like to pray now to ask Jesus to forgive your sins and to give you eternal life?
你願意的話，現在就可以祈求耶穌赦免你的罪並且賜給你永生。

We can pray together.
我們可以一齊祈禱。

“Dear Jesus, forgive my sins, come into my heart as my Lord and Savior. Amen”
親愛的主耶穌！請你赦免我的罪並請你進入我的心作我的救主。阿們！

The Bible says he who believes has everlasting life.
聖經告訴我們信的人有永生。

Welcome to the family of God.
歡迎來到上帝的家！
