28-33節--將屬於神的歸給神

尼希米記 第10章

將屬於神的歸給神

這段經文是接續昨天所讀的禱文，這裡列出了百姓與神所立的約。

總共有84人在約上簽署。第一個帶頭簽名的人是尼希米，接著是22位祭司、17位利未人，44 位貴冑，其餘便是一般的百姓。立約所用的，一定是一塊很大的羊皮紙了。

他們立了甚麼約？第29節告訴我們，他們承諾要遵從神的律法；第30節則列明他們不會讓兒女與異族宗教的人通婚。

這是一個含意深遠的承諾，新約聖經也重申基督徒要持守這個準則。倘若我們教導兒女要以愛主的基督徒為擇偶對象，便會省卻將來可能發生的許多問題。

第31節告訴我們，他們承諾不會隨從異族人的風俗行徑，堅持不會在聖日作買賣。我們很容易跟風，但神卻希望我們能持守正確的原則。

百姓在第32節往後的經文中，承諾神要他們奉獻甚麼，他們就奉獻甚麼。他們會克盡本分地作出奉獻，藉此支持神的殿。這同樣是新約的命令，我們有沒有遵守呢？

總的而言，他們承諾要分別為聖，要堅守神的律法和奉獻支持神的殿。

我們是否願意與神立同樣的約呢？

經文反思：

神過：「尊重我的，我必看重他。」(撒上二30)

GIVING GOD WHAT BELONGS TO HIM

These are not easy verses to read, but they tell a thrilling story. It follows on from yesterdays reading of the tremendous prayer in chapter 9. Here is what the people promised God they would do.

There were 84 men who signed this promise. Nehemiah the leader was first to do so. He was followed by 22 priests, 17 Levites and then 44 chiefs and after them the rest of the people signed as well. What a big piece of parchment it must have been!

What did they promise? Verse 29 says they promised to obey Gods laws and verse 30 tells us that this included allowing their children to only marry those who loved the same God as they did.

This is a far-reaching promise and the New Testament repeats the same standard for Christians today. If we would teach our young people that Christians should only marry Christians, it would save a great deal of heartache later.

Verse 31 says that they promised they would not follow the way of the other people in the land. They would not buy or sell on the Lords day even though others did. It is too easy just to do things because everybody else is doing them. God wants us to be willing to stand up for what we know is right.

From verse 32 onwards the people agreed to give to God what he asked them to give. They would support Gods house and do what they should in providing for it. This too is a New Testament commandment. Are we doing it?

What did they promise? That they would be separated from the world around; they would stand up for Gods laws and they would support Gods house.

Are you willing to sign a promise like that?

A VERSE FOR TODAY:

Them that honour me, I will honour.
