前言Introduction:
我们这一生的最终结果将是我们在地上所做的选择的总和。好的选择和决定来自经验,而经验来自于错误的决定和选择。我们从信心之父亚伯拉罕的例子学习如何作神喜悦的选择。
The
end result of our life here on earth will be the sum total of the
choices we made. Good choices and decisions come from experience, and
experience comes from bad choices and decisions. Let us learn from
Abraham’s life examples to make decisions which are pleasing to
God.
