你有得救的盼望吗?

你有得救的盼望吗?

March 25, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in 聚焦恩典 - 《提多书》3:7, 永生的盼望

“但既然我们属于白昼,就应当谨慎,把信和爱当作护心镜遮胸,把得救的盼望当作头盔戴上。因为上帝不是预定我们受惩罚,而是预定我们藉着我们的主耶稣基督得救。他替我们死,让我们无论醒着、睡着,都与他同活。”(《帖撒罗尼迦前书》5:8-10)

得当保罗谈到得救的盼望时,他是什么意思?这种表述只在《圣经》这里中出现过。

得救的盼望这一表述会让人感到困惑,因为盼望一词在英语中指的是一种渴望,而不是确定的事。因此,许多人认为保罗是在说,我们渴望从永恒的责罚中得救,但我们不知道我们是否拥能得救。

许多牧师教导说,这就是保罗在《帖前》 5:8 中的意思。

但这根本不是保罗的意思。在这节经文中,他用盼望和得救这两个词来表达不同的意思。

希腊文中的盼望(elpis)有时指的是一种不确定能否实现的愿望(《腓》 2:23;《提前》 3:14)。

在新约中,“盼望”(elpis)通常指确定的事情,但实现的时间却是未知的(《西》 1:27;《提前》1:1;《多》 2:13)。

在《帖撒罗尼迦前书》中,保罗一直在谈论被提。每一章的结尾都有提到(《帖前》1:10;2:19;3:13;4:13-18;5:23)。在整个《帖前》和《帖后》中,保罗用得救(save)(《帖前》2:16;《帖后》2:10)和得救(salvation)(《帖前》 5:8、9;《帖后》 2:13)来指从大灾难的忿怒中解救出来。

《帖前》 5:8 中的得救的盼望是指基督很快就会再来,并通过被提把我们带到祂那里,但时间是未知的。它可能发生在今年,也可能是很多年、几十年或几百年后。祂会把我们从大灾难的愤怒中拯救出来,我们不会经历那可怕的时刻,这是我们的头盔。它会让我们的大脑保持完好无损,尽管撒旦向我们投掷了各种各样的机弦和弓箭。
