現在是來修正和修復腐敗，並按照神所預定的秩序和組織建立我們的政府和社會機構的時候。要看到我們的國家發生轉化，我們必須超越僅看到靈魂得救的任務。我們必須努力看到基督徒在主裡成長，我們必須看到神的國度入侵我們社會的每個領域。神希望祂國度的旨意藉著我們在地上完成！

「並不分猶太人、希臘人，自主的、為奴的，或男或女，因為你們在基督耶穌裡都成為一了。」（加拉太書3:28）

上帝的聖言告訴我們，「神就照著自己的形像造人，乃是照著祂的形像造男造女」（創世記1:27）。因此，「穿上了新人。這新人在知識上漸漸更新，正如造主的形像。此並不分希臘人、猶太人，受割禮的、未受割禮的，化外人、西古提人，為奴的、自主的，惟有基督是包括一切，又住在各人之內。所以，你們既是 神的選民，聖潔蒙愛的人，就要存憐憫、恩慈、謙虛、溫柔、忍耐的心。倘若這人與那人有嫌隙，總要彼此包容，彼此饒恕；主怎樣饒恕了你們，你們也要怎樣饒恕人。在這一切之外，要存著愛心，愛心就是聯絡全德的。」（歌羅西書3:11-14）

現在是來修正和修復腐敗，並按照神所預定的秩序和組織建立我們的政府和社會機構的時候。要看到我們的國家發生轉化，我們必須超越僅看到靈魂得救的任務。我們必須努力看到基督徒在主裡成長，我們必須看到神的國度入侵我們社會的每個領域。神希望祂國度的旨意藉著我們在地上完成！假如一個國家在未經改革的情況下轉化，它將很快恢復到其原始的衰敗狀態。

【請與我們一同宣令】

「祂從一本造出萬族的人，住在全地上，並且預先定準他們的年限和所住的疆界。」使徒行傳17:26）

「我們不拘是猶太人，是希臘人，是為奴的，是自主的，都從一位聖靈受洗，成了一個身體，飲於一位聖靈。」（哥林多前書12:13）

「惟獨恨弟兄的，是在黑暗裡，且在黑暗裡行，也不知道往哪裡去，因為黑暗叫他眼睛瞎了。」（約翰一書2:11）

「我賜給你們一條新命令，乃是叫你們彼此相愛；我怎樣愛你們，你們也要怎樣相愛。」（約翰福音13:34）
 

It's Time to Repair What Is Corrupt in the Nations
Mike and Cindy Jacobs

"There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." (Galatians 3:28 NIV)

The Word of God tells us, "So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them" (Genesis 1:27 ESV).

Therefore, "...put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its Creator. Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all, and in all. Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony" (Colossians 3:10-14 ESV). (Photo via Flickr)

It's Time to Repair

It's time to amend and repair what is corrupt, and to build the institutions of our government and society according their God-ordained order and organization. To see our nations transformed, we must go beyond a mandate that only sees souls saved. We must work to see Christians grow in the Lord and we must see the Kingdom of God invading every sector of our society. God wants His Kingdom will to be done on Earth, through us! If a nation is transformed without being reformed, it will soon fall back into its original state of decay.

Decree with us:

• "From one man He made all nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and He marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands." (Acts 17:26 NIV)

• "For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given one Spirit to drink."
(1 Corinthians 12:13 NIV)

• "But anyone who hates a brother or sister is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness. They do not know where they are going, because the darkness has blinded them." (1 John 2:11 NIV) (Photo via Pixabay)

• "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another." (John 13:34 NIV)
