相信耶稣能拯救我就够了吗?

相信耶稣能拯救我就够了吗?

July 31, 2023 by Bob Wilkin in 聚焦恩典 - 救恩的确据, 耶稣的能力与祂的保证

克里斯问了一个很好的问题:

如果我相信耶稣有能力给我永生,这是否等同于相信他是永生的赐予者(因为我相信他有能力给我永生)?《圣经》说所有相信耶稣是赐永生者的人都有永生,对吧?所以我想知道我是否有永生,因为我相信耶稣有能力给我永生。

关于这个问题,我听过很多不同的说法。可以归结为,我们是否需要相信,因为我们相信祂,耶稣能够给我们永生,还是因为我们相信祂,祂就给了我们永生。在第一种情况下,我们不知道我们死后会去哪里,但我们知道如果耶稣愿意,祂可以拯救我们。我们只是不知道祂是否会拯救我们。在第二种情况下,我们确信我们会永远和祂在一起,因为祂可以拯救所有相信祂的人,并且担保祂会这样做。祂的担保比美国联邦存款保险公司(FDIC)的担保可靠。

克里斯对他永恒的命运缺乏把握:“所以我想知道我是否有永恒的生命……”

当他说到耶稣是“赐永生的人”时,他暗指《约翰福音》4:10。克里斯需要注意到,《约翰福音》4:10有两个我们必须相信的要素,而不是一个。我们不仅要相信耶稣是赐予者;我们也必须相信祂把神的恩赐,就是永生,赐给所有喝活水的人,也就是所有相信他的恩赐的人(《约翰福音》4:14)。

井旁的女人认为耶稣提供了一种特殊的水,这意味着她再也不需要打水或喝水了(《约翰福音》4:15)。她懂得活水的永恒性。但她还不明白耶稣说的是祂自己的生命(《约翰福音》11:25;14:6),这是神赐给信徒的。这生命,一旦接受,就永远不会失去。为了得到上帝的恩赐——永远不会失去的生命——她必须相信这是对信徒的保证。

我劝克里斯和一切缺乏确据的人,求神引导他们进入真理。不要只问一次。反复地问(见《路加福音》18:1-8;也可参见《马太福音》7:7-11)。同时,读一读《约翰福音》,《圣经》中唯一的传福音的书(《约翰福音》20:30-31)。它的目的是引导人们对他们永恒的命运有确据(例如,《约翰福音》3:16;5:24;6:35, 37,39 – 40,47;11:25-27)。

相信耶稣有能力、有权柄和能力赐下永生是极好的。但这和相信祂是神的恩赐是不一样的。你也必须相信,祂担保给所有相信祂的人有永生。
