经文｜帖撒罗尼迦前书 5:23–24

【帖前5:23】愿赐平安的　神亲自使你们全然成圣。又愿你们的灵与魂与身子得蒙保守，在我们主耶稣基督降临的时候，完全无可指摘。

【帖前5:24】那召你们的本是信实的，他必成就这事。

灵修

这两节经文给我们一个很大的安慰：使我们生命改变、走向完全的，不单靠我们的努力，而是神亲自在我们里面工作。

保罗说：「愿赐平安的神亲自使你们全然成圣。」成圣不是只改变我们生命的某一个部分，而是神要触摸整个人——我们的灵、魂与身子。

我们的灵需要与神保持亲密；我们的魂——思想、情感和意志——需要不断被更新；我们的身体和每天实际的生活，也需要分别出来归给神。神所要的，不只是星期天敬拜祂的我们，而是一个完整属于祂的生命。

然而，当我们看见自己的软弱时，很容易想：「我真的能够走到底吗？我真的能够成为神要我成为的人吗？」

第24节就是答案：

「那召你们的本是信实的，他必成就这事。」

我们的盼望不建立在「我一定做得到」，而建立在「祂是信实的」。

是祂呼召我们，也是祂保守我们；是祂开始这工作，也是祂继续完成这工作。我们当然需要回应、顺服、追求，但最终使生命结出果子的，是神在我们里面持续不断的工作。

有时候我们只看见自己现在的光景，神却看见祂正在塑造的生命。我们看见的是过程，神看见的是完成。

所以今天不必因为自己还没有完全而灰心。只要继续把生命交在祂手中，让祂洁净、修剪、医治和更新。

祂既然呼召了你，就不会把祂开始的工作丢下一半。

今日默想

我生命中有没有一些地方，因为改变得太慢而让我灰心？

今天我要再次相信：

我的信心不是建立在自己的完全，而是建立在神的信实。
那召我的本是信实的，祂必成就这事。

祷告

亲爱的天父，感谢祢亲自呼召我，也亲自在我的生命中工作。求祢使我的灵、魂与身子都分别为圣，完全属于祢。

当我看见自己的不足和软弱时，帮助我不要灰心，而是定睛在祢的信实上。求祢继续更新我的思想、洁净我的心、引导我的脚步，并保守我直到主耶稣基督再来的日子。

我相信，祢所开始的工作，祢必亲自成就。

奉主耶稣的名祷告，阿们。

He Will Surely Do It

September 16, 2026

Scripture | 1 Thessalonians 5:23–24

“May God Himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The One who calls you is faithful, and He will do it.”

Devotional

These two verses give us tremendous comfort: the transformation of our lives and our journey toward holiness do not depend on our efforts alone. God Himself is at work within us.

Paul says, “May the God of peace Himself sanctify you through and through.” Sanctification is not about changing only one part of our lives. God desires to touch our whole being—our spirit, soul and body.

Our spirit needs to remain close to God. Our soul—our thoughts, emotions and will—needs to be continually renewed. Our body and the way we live each day also need to be set apart for Him. God does not want only the version of us that worships Him on Sundays; He desires our entire lives to belong to Him.

Yet when we see our own weaknesses, it is easy to wonder, “Can I really make it to the end? Can I truly become the person God wants me to be?”

Verse 24 gives us the answer:

“The One who calls you is faithful, and He will do it.”

Our hope is not built on saying, “I can definitely do this.” Our hope is built on this truth: “He is faithful.”

He is the One who calls us, and He is the One who keeps us. He began the work, and He will continue until it is complete. We certainly need to respond, obey and pursue Him, but ultimately, it is God who continually works within us and causes our lives to bear fruit.

Sometimes we see only our present condition, but God sees the life He is shaping us to become. We see the process; God sees the finished work.

So today, do not be discouraged because you are not yet perfect. Continue placing your life in His hands and allow Him to cleanse, prune, heal and renew you.

Since He has called you, He will not abandon halfway the work He has begun in you.

Reflection for Today

Are there areas of my life where I have become discouraged because change seems too slow?

Today, I choose to believe again:

My confidence is not based on my own perfection, but on God’s faithfulness.
The One who calls me is faithful, and He will surely do it.

Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for personally calling me and for continually working in my life. May my spirit, soul and body be sanctified and set apart completely for You.

When I see my weaknesses and shortcomings, help me not to become discouraged, but to fix my eyes on Your faithfulness. Continue to renew my mind, purify my heart, guide my steps and preserve me until the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

I believe that the work You have begun, You will faithfully bring to completion.

In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
