威斯敏斯特大要理问答

问194: 在第五祈求中，我们所祷告的是甚么?

答: 在第五祈求“免我们的债，如同我们免了人的债”中，我们承认: 我们与所有的人都是有罪的，既有遗传的罪性、又有实际的罪行，因此我们亏欠了神的公义，成为欠罪债的人；无论我们或任何受造物，一点都不能补偿那罪债。所以我们为自己与他人祷告:

(1)求神因祂的白白恩典，借着基督的顺服与偿清罪债，使我们因着信来领悟与领受，将我们的罪咎与刑罚都免除尽净，接纳我们在祂的爱子里；

(2)求神继续施恩赐平安给我们，赦免我们每日的过犯，以平安喜乐充满我们的心，每日赐给我们越来越多蒙赦免的确据；

(3) 当我们有此见证在我们心中时，求神使我们更加有胆量来祈求、更加有勇气来期盼: 我们要从心里饶恕别人的过犯。

Q. 194. What do we pray for in the fifth petition?

A. In the fifth petition (which is, Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors), acknowledging that we and all others are guilty both of original and actual sin, and thereby become debtors to the justice of God; and that neither we, nor any other creature, can make the least satisfaction for that debt: we pray for ourselves and others, that God of his free grace would, through the obedience and satisfaction of Christ, apprehended and applied by faith, acquit us both from the guilt and punishment of sin, accept us in his Beloved; continue his favor and grace to us, pardon our daily failings, and fill us with peace and joy, in giving us daily more and more assurance of forgiveness; which we are the rather emboldened to ask, and encouraged to expect, when we have this testimony in ourselves, that we from the heart forgive others their offenses.
