威斯敏斯特大要理问答

问195: 在第六祈求中，我们所祷告的是甚么?

答: 在第六祈求「不叫我们遇见试探，救我们脱离凶恶」中，我们承认:

(1) 至为智慧、公义、恩慈的上帝，为了达到各种圣洁公义的目的， 掌管事情的发生，以致容许我们被试探攻击、包围、有时陷入其中被掳；

(2) 撒但、世界、肉体常常大力牵引我们走偏，使我们陷入网罗；

(3) 我们即使在自己的罪得赦免之后，也会因着自己的败坏、软弱、疏于儆醒，不仅是容易屈服试探、倾向暴露自己于试探之下，也是无能且不愿抵挡试探、脱离试探、革除试探；我们是罪有应得，配得被试探辖制的下场。

所以，我们祷告:

(1) 求神制胜世界和其中的一切、制伏肉体、遏止撒但，命定万事万物、赏赐并赐福一切施恩的媒介、苏醒我们注意使用它们，以致我们与所有属祂的子民，借着祂的护理，蒙保守不受试探而犯罪；

(2) 如果遭遇试探，则求神借着祂的圣灵，以大能支持我们，使我们在受试探时能站立得住；

(3) 当我们跌倒时，求神使我们再站起来，脱离试探，并且学到成圣的功课，灵命改进；

(4) 求神使我们的成圣与得救，至终得已完全，撒但被踹在我们脚下，我们全然从罪、试探、一切邪恶中得释放，直到永远。

Q. 195. What do we pray for in the sixth petition?

A. In the sixth petition (which is, And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil), acknowledging that the most wise, righteous, and gracious God, for divers holy and just ends, may so order things, that we may be assaulted, foiled, and for a time led captive by temptations; that Satan, the world, and the flesh, are ready powerfully to draw us aside, and ensnare us; and that we, even after the pardon of our sins, by reason of our corruption, weakness, and want of watchfulness, are not only subject to be tempted, and forward to expose ourselves unto temptations, but also of ourselves unable and unwilling to resist them, to recover out of them, and to improve them; and worthy to be left under the power of them; we pray, that God would so overrule the world and all in it, subdue the flesh, and restrain Satan, order all things, bestow and bless all means of grace, and quicken us to watchfulness in the use of them, that we and all his people may by his providence be kept from being tempted to sin; or, if tempted, that by his Spirit we may be powerfully supported and enabled to stand in the hour of temptation; or when fallen, raised again and recovered out of it, and have a sanctified use and improvement thereof: that our sanctification and salvation may be perfected, Satan trodden under our feet, and we fully freed from sin, temptation, and all evil, forever.
