We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Where there is no sanctification of life, there is no real faith in Christ. True faith works by love. It constrains a man to live unto the Lord from a deep sense of gratitude for redemption. It makes him feel that he can never do too much for Him that died for him. Being much forgiven, he loves much. He whom the blood cleanses, walks in the light. He who has real lively hope in Christ, purifies himself even as He is pure… The faith which has not a sanctifying influence on the character is no better than the faith of devils.
J.C. Ryle

As Christian leaders we will be required to admonish and rebuke. In fact, a good deal of time may be spent doing this work. It is an important aspect of ministry not to be neglected because it is used by God to rescue people from sin and deception. You will never know until heaven the full extent of good you have done for others by rebuking them about sin or warning them about false doctrine.
Alexander Strauch

Bible – chinese – 新标点和合本 诗篇 48

48
锡安— 神的城
可拉后裔的诗歌。
耶和华本为大!
在我们 神的城中,
在他的圣山上,该受大赞美。
锡安山—大君王的城,
在北面居高华美,
为全地所喜悦。
 神在其宫中,
自显为避难所。
 
看哪,众王会合,
一同经过。
他们见了这城就惊奇丧胆,
急忙逃跑。
他们在那里被战兢疼痛抓住,
好像产难的妇人一样。
 神啊,你用东风打破他施的船只。
我们在万军之耶和华的城中
—就是我们 神的城中—所看见的,
正如我们所听见的。
 神必坚立这城,直到永远。
(细拉)

 
 神啊,我们在你的殿中想念你的慈爱。
10  神啊,你受的赞美正与你的名相称,直到地极!
你的右手满了公义。
11 因你的判断,锡安山应当欢喜,
犹大的城邑+应当快乐。
 
12 你们当周游锡安
四围旋绕,数点城楼,
13 细看她的外郭,
察看她的宫殿,
为要传说到后代。
14 因为这 神永永远远为我们的 神;
他必作我们引路的,直到死时。
