問180:奉基督的名禱告是什麼意思?
答:奉基督的名禱告,是:
(1)順從祂的命令,信靠祂的應許,為了祂的緣故祈求憐憫;
(2)並非僅是提及祂的名字,乃是依靠基督與祂的中保職分,吸引我們鼓勵我們來禱告,使得我們在禱告中得着勇氣,力量,盼望,知道必蒙垂聽。
Q. 180. What is it to pray in the name of Christ?
A. To pray in the name of Christ is, in obedience to his command, and in confidence on his promises, to ask mercy for his sake; not by bare mentioning of his name, but by drawing our encouragement to pray, and our boldness, strength, and hope of acceptance in prayer, from Christ and his mediation.
問181:為何我們要奉基督的名禱告?
答:我們是罪人,且因罪的結果使我們與神疏離,情況是如此的嚴重,因此我們若沒有中保,是不能來到神面前;除了基督以外,在天上或地上沒有任何一位被指定,也沒有任何一位適合,來擔任如此榮耀的中保工作。因此,我們唯獨奉基督的名禱告,不可奉其他任何的名字。
Q. 181. Why are we to pray in the name of Christ?
A. The sinfulness of man, and his distance from God by reason thereof, being so great, as that we can have no access into his presence without a mediator; and there being none in heaven or earth appointed to, or fit for, that glorious work but Christ alone, we are to pray in no other name but his only.
問182: 聖靈如何幫助我們禱告?
答: 我們本不曉得當怎樣禱告,我們的軟弱有聖靈幫助,
(1) 聖靈使我們能夠知道: 為誰與為何禱告,以及如何禱告;
(2) 祂在我們心裏運行,甦醒我們的心 (雖然甦醒的情況,並非所有人都一樣,也不是所有時候都相同),使我們得着盡此禱告本分所必須有的悟性、情感、以及各樣恩惠,使我們能正確的禱告。
Q. 182. How doth the Spirit help us to pray?
A. We not knowing what to pray for as we ought, the Spirit helpeth our infirmities, by enabling us to understand both for whom, and what, and how prayer is to be made; and by working and quickening in our hearts (although not in all persons, nor at all times, in the same measure) those apprehensions, affections, and graces which are requisite for the right performance of that duty.
