First John chapter three.

約翰一書第三章

What an incredible quality of love the Father has shown to us that we should be named and called and counted the Children of God.

天父向我們展示了多麼不可思議的愛的品質啊！我們應該被命名，被呼喚，被算作上帝的兒女。

And so we are, I love that and the amplified, we're named the Children of God.

是以，我們，我喜歡這個名字，我們被稱為上帝之子。

We're called the Children of God.

我們被稱為上帝之子。

We're counting the Children of God because we are the Children of God.

我們算作上帝之子，因為我們是上帝之子。

This is your number one calling in life.

這是你人生的首要使命。

Your number one purpose in life is not to accomplish something.

你人生的首要目標並不是取得成就。

Your number one purpose in life is not to make something of yourself.

你人生的首要目標並不是讓自己出人頭地。

Your number one purpose in life is not to make a lot of money to be famous, to have a lot of fun.

你人生的首要目標不是賺大錢，不是出名，也不是找樂子。

Your number one purpose in life, God created you and called you to be loved by Him to experience that love.

上帝創造了你，並呼喚你被他所愛，讓你體驗這種愛，這是你人生的首要目標。

And most people have never truly experienced the love of God.

大多數人從未真正體驗過上帝之愛。

Oh, they've heard about it.

哦，他們聽說過。

Everybody here said, oh, God loves you.

這裡的每個人都說，哦，上帝愛你。

Yeah.

是啊

Yeah.

是啊

I know God loves me.

我知道上帝愛我。

The very fact that you're bored by that means you don't get it because if you got it, you would be so excited about it.

你對此感到厭煩，就說明你不懂，因為如果你懂了，你就會非常興奮。

You've never experienced it.

你從未體驗過

You've heard it in your head, but you don't have it in your heart.

你聽在耳裡，卻沒有記在心裡。

And a lot of people are going to miss heaven by 18 inches because they got it here and they don't got it here.

很多人將與天堂相差 18 英寸，因為他們在這裡得到了天堂，卻沒有在這裡得到。

They don't have it here.

這裡沒有

You've got to experience God's love in your life.

你必須在生活中體驗上帝的愛。

He says we're named and called and count on the Children of God.

他說，我們被命名、被呼召，算作上帝的兒女。

Now, why in the world would God do that in order to express His love?

上帝為什麼要這樣做來表達他的愛呢？

And God's love is extravagant and God's love is lavish and God's love is beyond comprehension.

上帝的愛是奢侈的，上帝的愛是揮霍的，上帝的愛是無法理解的。

And as I've said, so many times, he loves you on your good days and bad days.

就像我說過很多次的那樣，他愛你，無論你的好日子還是壞日子，

When you feel it and don't feel it.

不論是當你感覺得到的時候，或是感覺不到的時候。

When you think you deserve it. When you don't think you deserve it.

不論是當你認為自己配得上的時候，或當你認為自己不配的時候，

You can't make God stop loving you.

你無法讓上帝停止愛你。

God will never love you any more than He does this second.

上帝永遠不會比現在這一刻更愛你

God will never love you any less than He does this second because God's love is not based on who you are or what you do.

也永遠不會比現在這一刻更不愛你，因為上帝的愛不是基於你是誰或你做了什麼。

It's based on who He is.

這是基於他是誰。

God is love.

上帝就是愛

So I'll say it again because I want you to get it.

所以我再說一遍，因為我想讓你們明白。

Your number one calling in life is not to do something to impress God with what you do.

你人生的首要使命不是做一些事情來打動上帝。

Your number one calling in life is to receive something to let God love you.

你人生的首要使命就是接受一些東西，讓上帝來愛你。
