标 题： 神完全的保护
经 节： 我与他们同在的时候，因你所赐给我的名保守了他们，我也护卫了他们；其中除了那灭亡之子，没有一个灭亡的，好叫经上的话得应验。（约翰福音十七章12节）
没有一件撒但做的事能够使你惧怕（提摩太后书一：7）。耶稣挑选出天父所赐给祂的十二位门徒，并小心地护卫他们不受恶者的侵害。耶稣差遣祂的门徒进入危险的困境，然而，祂为他们祷告，祈求天父的大能完全保守他们脱离那恶者（约翰福音十七：15）。
同样地，耶稣说我们是祂的羊，是牢牢地掌握在天父强壮的手中（约翰福音十：28）。没有一个地方比在全能神的手中更安全，你相信吗？还是你害怕撒但或别人怎么对付自己？使徒约翰鼓励我们不要惧怕：“因为那在你们里面的，比那在世界上的更大。”（约翰一书四：4）这不只是神学上的观念，更是一个让你完全放心的事实。这不只是一个默想家人安全的真理，而是一个应许，让你在面对逆境或世人威胁时，能紧紧握住的应许。
你的作为透露出你的信仰。如果你过的是惧怕、充满忧虑的日子，不管你嘴巴怎么说，你已经证明自己对神的护佑没有信心。你要有信心，相信耶稣不断地为你向天父代求。如果你完全相信祂，你不会有任何惧怕。
God’s Complete
Protection
“While I
was with them in the world, I kept them in Your name. Those whom You gave Me I
have kept; and none of them is lost except the son of perdition, that the
Scripture might be fulfilled.” (John 17:12)
Nothing that Satan can do to you should cause you to fear (2 Tim. 1:7).
Jesus chose the twelve disciples the Father had given Him and then jealously
guarded them from the evil one. Jesus sent His disciples into the world where
they experienced difficult and dangerous circumstances, but He interceded on
their behalf with His Father that they would have His strong protection from
the evil one (John 17:15).
In the same way, Jesus said that we, as His sheep, are held securely in
the Father’s strong hand (John 10:28). There is no better place to be than
safely in the hand of almighty God. Do you believe this, or are you fearful of
what Satan or people can do to you? The apostle John encourages us that we do
not need to fear: “He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world” (1
John 4:4). This is not merely a theological concept but a profound reality in
which you can have absolute confidence. It is not just a truth for meditation
in the security of your home; it is a promise you can cling to in the midst of
a hostile and menacing world.
What you do reveals what you believe. If you are living a fearful,
anxiety-filled life, you are proving your lack of confidence in God’s
protection, regardless of what you may say. Live your life with confidence that
Jesus is continually interceding with the Father on your behalf. If you trust
Him completely, you will have nothing to fear.
