你們因信基督耶穌,都是神的兒子。(加3:26

神是他一切孩子的父。唉!小信哪!你常說:“我若有崇恩的果敢,我運劍若能像他一樣地得心應手,那麼我也可像他一樣地奮勇。”小信哪!請聽。崇恩是神的孩子,你也是神的孩子,他和你並沒有細微差異。彼得和保羅都是大蒙恩的師徒,是至高者家中的人,而你也是;軟弱的基督徒和強壯的基督徒一樣都是神的孩子。

“大地的樑柱雖然彎曲,這約卻仍然堅強穩固;

無分強壯、微小和軟弱,都在耶穌裡合一同住。”

名字雖不同但都是一家人。這一個人所得的恩雖比那個人多,但天父的慈懷對於眾人都是一樣的。這一個人能作更大的工作,更能使父得榮耀,但在天國名字最小的人也和王的大能勇士一樣,都是父的孩子。當我們就近神說:“我們的父”時,願這話安慰我們,鼓勵我們。

雖然如此,我們且莫因這話而苟安,我們不要以這種微小的信心而感到滿足,我們要求神賜我們像使徒一樣的大信心。我們的信心,不管多麼微弱,只要我們真真相信基督,至終都足以使我們進天堂,但我們並不能在我們的路程上榮耀主,我們也不會有豐富的快樂和平安。若我們要使我們的生活榮耀基督並樂意侍奉他,就要求聖靈充滿我們,使我們日漸完全,直到完全的愛把恐懼驅出。

"Ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus." --Galatians 3:26

The fatherhood of God is common to all his children. Ah! Little-faith, you have often said, "Oh that I had the courage of Great-heart, that I could wield his sword and be as valiant as he! But, alas, I stumble at every straw, and a shadow makes me afraid." List thee, Little-faith. Great-heart is God's child, and you are God's child too; and Great-heart is not one whit more God's child than you are. Peter and Paul, the highly- favoured apostles, were of the family of the Most High; and so are you also; the weak Christian is as much a child of God as the strong one.

"This cov'nant stands secure,

Though earth's old pillars bow;

The strong, the feeble, and the weak,

Are one in Jesus now."

All the names are in the same family register. One may have more grace than another, but God our heavenly Father has the same tender heart towards all. One may do more mighty works, and may bring more glory to his Father, but he whose name is the least in the kingdom of heaven is as much the child of God as he who stands among the King's mighty men. Let this cheer and comfort us, when we draw near to God and say, "Our Father."

Yet, while we are comforted by knowing this, let us not rest contented with weak faith, but ask, like the Apostles, to have it increased. However feeble our faith may be, if it be real faith in Christ, we shall reach heaven at last, but we shall not honour our Master much on our pilgrimage, neither shall we abound in joy and peace. If then you would live to Christ's glory, and be happy in His service, seek to be filled with the spirit of adoption more and more completely, till perfect love shall cast out fear.
