9-7
Enjoy the warmth of my presence shining upon you. Feel your face tingle as you bask in my love-light. I delight in your more than you can imagine. I approve of you continuously, for I see you cloaked in my light,, arrayed in my righteousness. There is no condemnation for those who are clothed in me! That is why I abhor the use of guilt as a means of motivation among Christians.
Some pastors try to whip their people into action with guilt-inducing sermons. This procedure can drive many people to work harder, but the end does not justify the means. Guilt evoking messages can undermine the very foundation of grace in a believer’s heart. A pastor may feel successful when his people are doing more, but I look at their hearts. I grieve when I see grace eroding, with weeds of anxious works creeping in. I want you to relax in the assurance of my perfect love. The law of my Spirit of life has set you free from the law of sin and death.
享受我同在的温暖，感受我的爱之光照耀你。感受你的脸颊在我的爱之光中发热。我对你的喜悦远远超过你的想象。我不断地赞许你，因为我看见你披上我的光，穿上我的公义。对于那些披上我【的义袍】的人，没有定罪！这就是为什么我憎恨在基督徒中使用罪恶感作为激励手段。
有些牧师试图通过引起罪恶感的布道来鞭策教会的人。这个做法可以让很多人更努力地工作，但结果好并不能说明手段高明。唤起罪恶感的信息可能会破坏信徒心中恩典的根基。一位牧师可能会觉得，当他的会众做更多事情时，他便取得了成功，但我看的是他们的内心。当我看到恩典被侵蚀，焦虑的工作之杂草四处蔓延时，我感到悲伤。我希望你在我的完美爱的保障下能够放松。我的赐生命圣灵的律已经使你脱离了罪和死的律。
