大斋期灵修集锦 （摘自 Holy Bible: Mosaic）预览

Pandita Ramabai (India, 1858-1922)

Some years ago, I was brought to the conviction that mine was only an intellectual belief  - a belief in which there was no life. It looked for salvation in the future after death and, consequently, my soul had not 'Passed from death unto life.' God showed me how very dangerous my position was, what a wretched and lost sinner I was, and how necessary it was to obtain salvation in the present and not in some future time. I repented long; I became very restless, almost ill, and passed many sleepless nights. The Holy Spirit so got hold of me that I could not rest until I found salvation then and there. So I prayed earnestly to God to pardon my sins for the sake of Jesus Christ and let me realize that I had really gotten salvation through him. I believed God's promise and took Him at His word and, when I had done this, my burden rolled away and I realized that I was forgiven and freed from the power of sin.
