诗篇139篇中这段经文提醒我们，尽管我们每一个人都是主的奇妙创造，但我们心里仍然有需要对付的恶行。

自从堕落犯罪后，（参创3）我们人类仍然以造物主宝贵的受造者的身份继续活着，但我们同时也需要从罪和破碎中被拯救出来。因着祂对我们伟大奇妙的爱，神差遣祂的儿子耶稣基督到来，为我们偿还了罪债，并且赐我们永远与祂同在的新生命。如今神的灵住在我们里面，引导我们学像耶稣，引导我们“走永生的道路”。

使徒保罗这样描述这件事：“现在活着的不再是我，乃是基督在我里面活着”，（参加 2:20）他所说的是圣经中描述死而后生的经文中最清晰的一段。

我们的受造和再造是奇妙可畏这个事实，引发出圣经中一些最荣美的宣告，这段经文就是一个例证：“惟有你们是被拣选的族类，是有君尊的祭司，是圣洁的国度，是属神的子民，要叫你们宣扬那召你们出黑暗、入奇妙光明者的美德。你们从前算不得子民，现在却作了神的子民；从前未曾蒙怜恤，现在却蒙了怜恤。”（彼前 2:9-10）

These verses from Psalm 139 remind us that while each one of us is a beautiful creation of the Lord, there are also offensive ways inside us that need to be dealt with.

After the fall into sin ,(described in Genesis 3) we human beings continue to live as precious works of the Creator while also needing to be redeemed from sin and brokenness. So in his great and amazing love for us, God sent his Son, Jesus Christ, to pay the price for our sin and to give us new life forever with him. And now the Spirit of God lives in us, guiding us to become like Jesus. He leads us “in the way everlasting.”

The apostle Paul describes it this way: “I no longer live, but Christ lives in me” ,(Galatians 2:20) giving us one of the clearest statements in the Bible about dying to live.

The fact that we are fearfully and wonderfully made and remade leads to some of the most glorious announcements in Scripture, like this one: “You are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.” (1 Peter 2:9-10)
