107. I believe the Bible talks about two kinds of cleansing here,
我相信，在这里，圣经提到的洁净有两层含义，

108. There is a radical kind of cleansing,
第一种洁净是指基本的洁净，

109. That takes place when you repent of your sins.
这是在你认罪以后发生的。

110. When you come to the Lord for the first time,

112. At that point the radical cleansing takes place.
在那一刻，基本的洁净就发生了。

113. And then there is a daily cleansing,
还有一种洁净是每天的洁净，

114. That daily cleansing takes place by the word of God.
这每天的洁净从神的话语而来。

115. In John chapter 13 Jesus referred to those two cleansings,
在约翰福音13章，耶稣讲到这两种洁净，

116. When he was washing the disciples feet,
当祂洗门徒的脚的时候，

117. Peter protested,
彼得不肯，

118. Lord you can’t wash my feet.
他说，主啊，你永不可洗我的脚。

119. Then Jesus ordered Peter to let him wash his feet,
耶稣命令彼得，让耶稣洗他的脚，

120. Because if he does not let him wash his feet,
耶稣说，我若不洗你，

121. Jesus said that Peter will not have part of him.
你就与我无分了。

122. Peter became enthusiastic and he said wash all of me.
于是彼得很热切地说，主啊，不但我的脚，连手和头也要洗。

123. But Jesus said something very important,
这里耶稣的回答非常重要，

124. He said, he who has been bathed needs only washing of their feet.
祂说，凡洗过澡的人，只要把脚一洗，全身就干净了。

125. Being bathed is being born again.
这里的洗澡就是指重生。

126. But when you come to Jesus Christ it does not stop there,
当你来到耶稣基督面前的时候，不要仅仅停在这里，

127. There is a cleansing that takes place every single day,
我们每天都要洁净自己，

128. And the word of God does exactly that.
这就要借着神的话语。

129. That’s what the apostle Paul said in Ephesians 5:26,
保罗在以弗所书5章26节中说，

130. The washing of water by the word.
要用水借着道，把教会洗净。

131. The word washes, here, in verse 13,
是的，神的话可以洗净我们，诗篇19篇13节，

132. Means that God’s word corrects us.
意思是，神的话语让我们归正。

133. It says, keep your servant from presumptuous sin,
经文这样讲，求你拦阻仆人不犯任意妄为的罪，

134. Presumptuous sin is when you sin knowing that you are sinning,
任意妄为的罪就是指，你明知道自己在犯罪，

135. And then you continue on sinning,
却没有停下来，反而继续犯罪，

136. Do you know what that means?
你知道这意味着什么吗？

137. It means that you are presuming on the mercy of God,
这意味着你在滥用神的恩典，

138. It means that you are presuming on the sovereignty and the goodness of God,
这意味着你在利用神的主权和良善，

139. But thank God that he forgives even the presumptuous sin.
可是我们感谢神，祂甚至原谅我们任意妄为的罪。

140. But only when we repent of it.
前提是，你必须认罪悔改。

141. At the cross all is forgiven,
因为在十字架上，一切罪都被赦免了，

142. But when knowingly you continue to sin,
但是，如果你故意不断犯罪，

143. You are inviting the consequences of sin into your life,
你就会把罪的恶果带进你的生命中，

144. It means that you have stepped out of the boundaries of God’s mercy.
而这就意味着，你已经走出了神的恩典以外。

145. So my listening friend, let me tell you this as I conclude,
亲爱的朋友，在我结束前让我告诉你，

146. I want to appeal to you to confess your sin,
我盼望你能承认你的罪，

147. Bring them to the cross of Jesus Christ,
把它们带到主耶稣基督的十字架前，

148. Place them under the shed blood of Jesus Christ,
把它都放在耶稣基督的宝血之下，

149. He is ready to forgive you,

150. More than you are ready to ask.
远超过你所求的。

151. So I leave you today with the last verse of Psalm 19,
最后我要读一读诗篇19篇的最后一节，

152. That verse has always been my prayer.
这一节诗一直是我的祷告。

153. Let the words of my mouth,
愿我口中的言语，

154. And the meditation of my heart,
心里的意念，

155. Be acceptable in your sight.
在你面前蒙悦纳。

156. Oh Lord my strength and my redeemer.
耶和华，我的盘石，我的救赎主啊。

157. Amen.
阿们。

158. Before we leave you today,
在节目的最后，

159. Let’s read together the whole Psalm, Psalm 19, this magnificent Psalm.
让我们来读这整篇诗篇。
