We Love God!

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

[God] is at work in all the circumstances of your life to bring out the good for you, even if you had never heard of Romans 8:28. His work is not dependent upon your faith. But the comfort and joy that statement is intended to give you is dependent upon your believing it, upon your trusting in Him who is at work, even though you cannot see the outcome of that work.
Jerry Bridges

One is struck with the personality of this text [Mt. 11:28]. There are two persons in it, 'you' and 'me'... Jesus says, 'Come to Me, not to anybody else but to Me.' He does not say, 'Come to hear a sermon about Me' but 'Come to Me, to My work and person.' You will observe that no one is put between you and Christ... Come to Jesus directly, even to Jesus Himself. You do want a mediator between yourselves and God, but you do not want a mediator between yourselves and Jesus... To Him we may look at once, with unveiled face, guilty as we are. To Him we may come, just as we are, without anyone to recommend us or plead for us or make a bridge for us to Jesus... You, as you are, are to come to Christ as He is, and the promise is that on your coming to Him he will give you rest. That is the assurance of Jesus Himself, and there is no deception in it... You see there are two persons. Let everybody else vanish, and let these two be left alone, to transact heavenly business with each other.
C.H. Spurgeon

Bible – chinese – 新标点和合本 歌罗西书 3

3
所以,你们若真与基督一同复活,就当求在上面的事;那里有基督坐在 神的右边。
你们要思念上面的事,不要思念地上的事。
因为你们已经死了,你们的生命与基督一同藏在 神里面。
基督是我们的生命,他显现的时候,你们也要与他一同显现在荣耀里。
所以,要治死你们在地上的肢体,就如淫乱、污秽、邪情、恶欲,和贪婪(贪婪就与拜偶像一样)。
因这些事, 神的忿怒必临到那悖逆之子。
当你们在这些事中活着的时候,也曾这样行过。
但现在你们要弃绝这一切的事,以及恼恨、忿怒、恶毒+、毁谤,并口中污秽的言语。
不要彼此说谎;因你们已经脱去旧人和旧人的行为,
10 穿上了新人。这新人在知识上渐渐更新,正如造他主的形象。
11 在此并不分希腊人、犹太人,受割礼的、未受割礼的,化外人、西古提人,为奴的、自主的,惟有基督是包括一切,又住在各人之内。
12 所以,你们既是 神的选民,圣洁蒙爱的人,就要存+怜悯、恩慈、谦虚、温柔、忍耐的心。
13 倘若这人与那人有嫌隙,总要彼此包容,彼此饶恕;主怎样饶恕了你们,你们也要怎样饶恕人。
14 在这一切之外,要存着爱心,爱心就是联络全德的。
15 又要叫基督的平安在你们心里作主;你们也为此蒙召,归为一体;且要存感谢的心。
16 当用各样的智慧,把基督的道理丰丰富富地存在心里+,用诗章、颂词、灵歌,彼此教导,互相劝戒,心被恩感,歌颂 神。
17 无论做什么,或说话或行事,都要奉主耶稣的名,借着他感谢父 神。
新生活的本分
18 你们作妻子的,当顺服自己的丈夫,这在主里面是相宜的。
19 你们作丈夫的,要爱你们的妻子,不可苦待她们。
20 你们作儿女的,要凡事听从父母,因为这是主所喜悦的。
21 你们作父亲的,不要惹儿女的气,恐怕他们失了志气。
22 你们作仆人的,要凡事听从你们肉身的主人,不要只在眼前事奉,像是讨人喜欢的,总要存心诚实敬畏主。
23 无论做什么,都要从心里做,像是给主做的,不是给人做的,
24 因你们知道从主那里必得着基业为赏赐;你们所事奉的乃是主基督。
25 那行不义的必受不义的报应;并不偏待人。
