得救是因着信还是单因着信?

得救是因着信还是单因着信?

July 29, 2022 by Bob Wilkin in 聚焦恩典 - 因着信还是单因着信?加2:16,雅2:24,约3:16

O.O.评论了最近的会议信息,见这里。在会议上我说了对信徒而言没有最终的审判。他写道,“你不断地看个别章节说人因信得救,但是哪里都没有说单因着信。”他的观点是说从永远的定罪中得救是靠着信,但不是单靠着信。

实际上,在英语圣经中,“单因着信”出现在某些版本的雅2:24:“这样看来人称义是因着行为,不是单因着信”(NASB, LEB, NET, ESV; NIV也能找到“单因着信”;KJV,NKJV,MEV和DARBY版本写成“不只因着信”)。但是,这节经文应该译为,“这样看来,人称义是因着行为,不只因着信”,换句话说,雅各是在说有两种称义,一种是凭着信心在神面前,另一种是靠着行为在人面前。我这么翻译的原因是 monon这个词是副词,不是形容词,因此它就不能修饰名词“信(心)”。

的确,在约3:16没有说“一切只信祂的…有永生。”同样,加2:16也没说“人称义不是因行律法,乃是单因着信耶稣基督。”

但是,缺少“单”或“只”这些词不能说还有其他的条件。没有了。如果除了信基督还需要其他条件才能得永生,那这些经文就是在说谎。

如果相信耶稣的人有永生,那么相信祂是唯一的条件。如果一个人因信基督而称义,那么信祂是唯一的条件。

想一下这个说法:在美国出生的就是美国人。我们可能会争论这是真的还是假的,如果这是真的,那么出生在这个国家,就是获得公民身份的唯一条件。i

想一下主耶稣给出的有关信靠祂的那些吃喝的例子。祂说喝一口活水人就可以有永生,不需要一直喝才能维持永生(约4:10-15)。祂也说吃一口生命的粮就永远不需要再吃来保持永生。人一旦信了耶稣,就永远安全了。

Gotquestions.org评论到“任何把救恩归于信心/信仰的经文,没有提到其他的要求,就是宣示救恩只靠信心”(见这里)ii

在Bible.org, 史蒂夫·科尔(Steven Cole)指出,那些拒绝单因信称义的人实际上并不相信圣经意义上的耶稣:“如果你觉得在你能到神面前之前,你还需要做更多的事,或感觉更多的事,或摆脱一些罪,你就不理解单凭信称义”(见这里)。

i在公民身份的例子里,有其他的方式可以成为公民。但在新生的例子中,除了信基督没有其他的路。

ii这篇文章错误地理解了雅2:24的教导,“因信耶稣基督,将不可避免地导致善行这是一个真正的救恩经历。”但是,关于那些只把信心或信作为永生的唯一条件的经文的陈述是很好的。
