在灰心失望中信靠神
In The Midst of Discouragements, Find Faith in God

一. 神的儿女应该有平安
The children of God should have peace within

1. 平安是神的本性和应许 Peace is the promise of God

2. 基本的平安---来自被神称义Fundamental peace --- flows from our justification
    附加的平安---来自我们对称义的感觉Additional peace --- Arises from the sense of our justification

3. 真平安---从神来，信心的结果，内在的，罪得赦 True peace --- From God, the result of faith, inward, sin is forgiven
    假平安---从自己来，自以为的安全，外在的，罪掩盖 False peace --- From yourself, presumed safety, conditional, sin is concealed

二. 平安有时也可能中断
True peace may be interrupted

1. 即使最敬畏神的人有时也会灰心失望
    It is possible that a godly man’s peace may be interrupted

2. 神为何允许他的儿女灰心？

(1) 为我们的益处For our good
(2) 神的方法It is God’s way
(3) 叫我们更加蒙福Gives us extraordinary blessings
(4) 训练我们生命成长Trains us unto perfection

三. 从灰心失望中出来信靠神
Faith is the help against all discouragements

1. 神的话是开启信心之门的钥匙

2. 神和基督是我们一切问题的答案
