This letter stands for:
这个字母代表：

God's grace.. literally undeserved favour. Have you ever thought that God who exists eternally and has no beginning or end, had no need to create the world or indeed man. 、
上帝的恩典。字面意思是不恰当的善意。你们是否认为上帝是永生的，没有开始或结束，没有创造世界甚至人类的想法

All his acts are gracious, by giving you breath and creating you, he is gracious, by providing your daily needs.
他所有的行为都是慈祥的，当赋予你呼吸和塑造你的时候。他是慈祥的，当给你提供每日所需的时候

God's glory....Have you ever washed a white shirt and it comes out of the washing machine.. gleaming.. that is what God's glory is like.. His holiness. is ten thousand times ten thousand more radiant than anything we will ever see. God is completely pure.. he is pureness and holiness in His very being. That is why sin.. cannot come anywhere near his presence.. that is why satan was thrown out of heaven, before time began and that is why sin has to be dealt with before we enter into His presence
上帝的荣耀。你是否曾经从洗衣机里拿出刚洗好的白衬衫，衬衫闪着白光。那就和上帝的荣耀一样闪亮。主的神圣的光辉能到达我们肉眼所能看到的距离的一万倍再乘以一万倍。上帝是完全洁净的，他的洁净和神圣是不可辩驳的。那就是为什么罪恶是无法靠近他的原因，那就是为什么撒旦会被逐出天堂。那就是为什么从创世纪以来在我们接近主之前罪恶已经被他惩治

God's greatness...There is no one like God.. the bible says he is great and greatly to be praised. He is the One and only true God.. why because He is alive in millions of people's lives throughout the world. He is the only one who has and is transforming lives through his power.. it is through his power that your life is transformed.
上帝的伟大。 没有任何人能与上帝并肩。圣经中说道主是伟大的并且值得赞美的。他是唯一的真神。为什么怎么说? 因为他就活在我们亿万个人的身体里面。他是唯一一个拥有能够改变生命力量的神。通过他的法力我们的生命得到了改变

God's Order.....God created Man and Woman perfect.. He made everything perfect.. he gave Man one order.. do not eat of the fruit of the tree in the midst of the garden.. what did man and woman do?.. yes that's right.. they ate it. Man through disobedience fell into sin and we all of are full of sin as a result.
上帝的旨意。上帝创造了完美的男人和女人，他创造的一切皆完美。他给了男人一个劝告，不要吃下伊甸园中树上的水果。但是男人和女人做了什么？ 是的，当然他们吃下了那个水果。那个男人的违抗使得我们所有人都坠入了罪恶的深渊

God's ordinance....So how does this sin problem get solved.. well in Old Testament times.. there were a series of sacrifices.. indeed the high priest was allowed into the presence of God once a year with the blood of a spotless lamb.. all sacrifices.. had to be of lambs and bullocks without spot or blemish.. pointing the way to the spotless lamb of God.. Jesus
上帝的条例。罪恶这个问题如何得到解决？在旧约时代，我们举行一系列的献祭活动。当然通过纯洁的羊血权利最高的神父每年是允许来到上帝的面前。所有的祭品，必须是没有污垢没有瑕疵牛和羊，并且面向上帝，耶稣。

God's offer...When man fell in the garden of eden.. God didn't go back to plan b.. he knew perfectly well that man would fall. Throughout history, God sought to establish a covenant relationship with people.. firstly through Enoch and then Noah and then through Abraham and his sons. This offer of salvation is extended to all people today.. God calls everyone to repent and to follow Him. Will you take up his offer?
上帝的给予....当人类在伊甸园里堕落的时候，上帝没有回头执行另一个计划，他完全清楚人类一定会堕落。回想历史的长河，上帝一直寻求与人类建立一个盟约关系。最先是以诺然后诺亚，然后通过亚伯拉罕和他的儿子。这个救恩的给予一直延续到今天所有的人。上帝呼召每一个人忏悔并且跟随他。你愿意接受他的给予吗？

God's solution....God always knew the solution to the problem.. as we said earlier.. he wasn't surprised by what man did. In the bible.. blood is very important.. in the OT.. it took the blood of a pure sacrifice to cover sin.. but in the NT.. the pure sacrifice of Jesus.. is shown as God's final and perfect solution.. Jesus was always going to come and live on this earth and die for us.. it wasn't some half baked last minute plan.
上帝的解答....上帝一直知道问题的解答...就像我们之前说的，他不会对人类的行为感到意外。在圣经里，血是非常重要的。在旧约里，血作为最圣洁的牺牲来遮盖罪；但是在新约里，最圣洁的牺牲基督，彰显了上帝最后最完美的解答。基督是一定会来到生活在这个地球上并且为我们死，它不是一个未完成的最后一分钟的计划。

God's Son....Jesus is co -equal with the Father and Holy Spirit.. he was there at creation.
上帝的儿子基督，与天父和圣灵是三位一体的，他在创世纪时就存在了

God's Sacrifice....The greatest act of sacrifice ever was at the cross.. never mind the physical punishment, Jesus went through.. so much greater was the spiritual agony as he was separated from the Father whom he loved and who loved Him.. all because he took on the burden of your sin and mine. When God looked on him, he saw.. .. the sin bearer and at that moment in history when Jesus said it is finished.. the work of redemption was done.. God the Father's justice was satisfied.. a pure lamb had taken yours and mine sin upon himself.
上帝的牺牲，在十字架上最伟大的牺牲。永不介意身体的惩罚，基督做到了，离开相互深爱的生父对他精神的伤害更加巨大，完全因为他为你我背负了所有的罪。当上帝看见他时，他看见：所有负罪的人在这个时刻你们的罪已经赎了。上帝的儿子已经为你们而牺牲一只最纯洁的羔羊已经带走了你我的罪。

It had to be perfect.. it had to be pure.. only one who could do that was the pure and sinless Son of God.. Jesus.
上帝的牺牲，它一定要是最完美的，它一定要是最圣洁的，只有一个人可以达到如此圣洁和无罪，上帝的儿子基督。

God's promise.....Right back in the garden of eden in Genesis 3:15.. God promises to bruise the heel of the serpent and that the serpent would bruise the heel of the saviour.. That promise was kept at Calvary. If you look at your heel it is the place on your body, where the skin is at it's toughest and thickest. The devil bruised the heel of Jesus at the cross, but he went through it, despising the shame... FOR US.

上帝的承诺： 回到创世纪3：15中的伊甸园。上帝发誓会擦破蛇的尾巴同时蛇也会擦破救主的脚后跟。这个誓言存放在加略山。如果你看一眼自己的脚跟便知道那里的皮肤是最坚硬和厚实的。恶魔甚至把耶稣的脚后跟钉于十字架上，但是他依然忍受这一切，蔑视所有的侮辱，全是为了我们。

God's power....Not only did Jesus die on the cross, but what makes the bible true is the reserruction of Jesus. So many great religious leaders have lived and died, but none have ever risen again from the dead.. except one. It shows .. God's great power...He is able to do this.. Only He can do this.
上帝的力量：耶稣不止死于十字架上，圣经同时验证了他的复活。有很多伟大的宗教领袖出生并死去，但是从没有一人死而复生。除了一个人。这个事实验证了：上帝的伟大力量。他可以做到，同时也是唯一能够做到的。

God entering into our world.....We cannot reach to God, so how do we reach God.. well he came down to us. In the form of a helpless babe.. born in a stable.. living as a carpenter.. spending three extraordinary years ministering with twelve men. No man has ever impacted this world like this one.. no one has spoken the words Jesus spoke.. no one has done the miracles Jesus did. Jesus coming into the world was the defining moment of history, his life was the defining life and his reserruction redefined hstory.
上帝降临到人间：我们无法亲自来到上帝面前，那上帝如何来到我们面前呢？用嗷嗷待哺的婴儿的样子，让他出生马厩中，让他成为木匠，让他与12位信徒共同度过3个非凡的传教之年。没有一个人能够对这个世界造成如此大的影响。自古以来没有人能够说出耶稣说过的话。没有人一个能够完成耶稣所展示的奇迹。耶稣的降生是人类历史的转折点，他的一生定义了生命的意义并且他的复生也重新定义了人类历史。

God giving us entrance into his world...When we become Christians we become children of the king.. we change from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of light. But not only that one day Jesus will come again and will take us home to be with Him.. in heaven.. he will allow us to come home, where he lives with his Father, but before then, we have a glimpse of that glory, as we walk with him day by day.
上帝给予我们进入他的天国的大门：当我们成为基督徒的时刻我们成为了王的孩子。我们从黑暗的国度带入了光明的国度。耶稣不但即将再次降临同时他还要把我们带回到与他共处的家园。在天堂他将允许我们回家，与他的生父一起生活。但是在此之前，我们有幸目睹一次这样的光辉，就在我们与他并肩行走的日日夜夜中。

It is about God's life,light and love living inside of us.. when we become christians, we are given a new heart...our minds remain the same, but our hearts of stone are removed and we are given hearts of flesh. To have these things, please pray the prayer below.
这是关于上帝的生命：光芒和爱汇聚在他的体内。当我们成为基督徒的那一刻，我们被赋予了崭新的心脏。我们的思想没有改变，但是我们的心中的巨石被移走并且换成了血和肉。为了得到心灵血肉，请阅颂以下祷告语。

FATHER, I HAVE SINNED IN THOUGHT, WORD AND DEED AND STAND GUILTY BEFORE YOU. I COME TO YOU IN HUMILITY AND AS A LITTLE CHILD, CONFESSING THAT I NEED YOUR MERCY AND GRACE. I ASK THAT THE SHED BLOOD OF JESUS WOULD CLEANSE ME FROM ALL SIN AS I REPENT FROM MY SIN AND COME TO ASK YOU FOR FORGIVENESS. I OFFER MY LIFE BACK TO YOU IN TOTAL OBEDIENCE AND AS A LIVING SACRIFICE TO DO AS YOU WISH.. AMEN
父亲，虽然我思想，语言和行为已被罪恶侵蚀，在你面前我是个罪人。我来到你的面前谦卑的像个小孩，向你坦言我需要你的慈悲和恩典。祈求耶稣的鲜血能够洗去我所有的罪过，在此我来到你的面前为我的罪孽忏悔向你祈求原谅。我把所有的生命交还于你并且完全服从，并且如你旨意成为你的活祭，阿门。

Bad News
坏消息

There is bad news though and that is despite God's best efforts, not everyone wants to accept his gracious offer of salvation.. for them it is bad news.
尽管上帝已经努力阻止但是有个坏消息，不是每个人都想要上帝荣耀的救赎。对他们来说是个坏消息。

One day Jesus will come again to judge everyone.. some who have trusted him to everlasting life.. others who have rejected him to everlasting fire.. IN HELL
有一天耶稣将再次降临并且审判每一个人。其中一部分是追随他的信徒将得到永生，而其余的会被他放逐到永炎之地，地狱。

This place is real and literal.. be warned
那个地方是真实可信的，要警醒
