約翰福音 1:12 (信息本聖經 The Message -- Eugene H. Peterson)
凡渴求祂，
並相信祂就是祂自己所宣稱的那位，
且照著祂的話去行的人，
祂就是他們得回真正的自我，
即神兒女一般的自我。
But whoever did want him,
who believed he was who he claimed
and would do what he said,
He made to be their true selves,
their child-of-God selves.

Place Your Life Before God
Romans 12:1-2 (The Message -- Eugene H. Peterson)
So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.
