Jangan Keraskan Hati Kita | Do Not Harden Our Hearts

Indo

Pembacaan Alkitab: Ibrani 3

Tuhan berkata kepada kita, "Pada hari ini, jika kamu mendengar suara-Nya, janganlah kita keraskan hatimu seperti  dalam kegeraman pada waktu pencobaan di padang gurun". Tuhan tidak menujukan perkataan ini kepada mereka yang belum mengenal Tuhan, tetapi justru terhadap mereka yang sudah mengenal Tuhan, menyaksikan kuasa-Nya, mujizat-Nya dan kebesaran-Nya. Sebab masih banyak orang yang walaupun sudah melihat kebesaran dan kuasa Tuhan, masih saja hidup di dalam dosa dan lebih memilih dosa di bandingkan dengan hidup di dalam Tuhan. Oleh sebab itu, biarlah kita saling menasihati dan mengingatkan akan jalan Tuhan, sehingga kita tetap berpegang teguh kepada keyakinan iman kita kepada Tuhan Yesus Kristus sampai pada akhirnya. Bila kita ditegur, melalui komsel, khotbah di gereja ataupun melalui pembicaraan dengan orang lain, dan bila Roh Kudus menegur kita, janganlah kita mengeraskan hati kita, tetapi biarlah kita terima teguran itu dan berubah seperti yang Tuhan inginkan. Jadi, jika kita mendengar suara-Nya, janganlah kita keraskan hati kita.

Bible Reading: Hebrews 3

The Lord said to us, "Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in rebellion during the time of testing in the wilderness". The Lord did not say this to those who haven't known the Lord yet, but it is directed to those who have known the Lord, have seen the power, miracles and greatness of the Lord. For there are many people, even though they have seen the greatness and power of the Lord, still live in sin and chose sin over the living in the Lord. Therefore, let us advise one another, remind one another of the path of God, so that we would hold on firmly to the faith in the Lord Jesus Christ until the end. If we are rebuked through cell groups, sermons at church or through our talks with people, and if the Holy Spirit rebukes us, do not harden our hearts, but let us receive that rebuke and change as the Lord wants us to. So, if we hear His voice today, do not harden our hearts.
