完成基督徒赛跑的奖赏是什么?

完成基督徒赛跑的奖赏是什么?

February 28, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in 聚焦恩典 - 奖赏, 完成赛跑

“凡争竞得胜的,凡事都有节制。他们是为得那会朽坏的冠冕,我们是为得那不能朽坏的冠冕“(林前 9:25)。

“向着标竿直跑,要得神在基督耶稣里从上面招我来得的奖赏。“(腓 3:14)。

基督徒的任务是完成基督徒人生的赛跑(林前 9:24-27;提后 4:6-8)。所有跑完赛跑的人都会得到奖赏(林前 9:25;腓 3:14)。

但完成基督徒赛跑的奖赏是什么?

有两种观点。

第一种观点是大多数福音派牧师和教师以及大多数阿民念派和加尔文派所持的观点,即坚持不懈的奖赏是最终的救赎。如果你坚持不懈,你将在基督的国度里与祂共度永生。如果你没有坚持下去,你将在火湖中度过永生。

第二种观点认为,奖赏是与基督一同掌权。坚持不懈的信徒将永远与基督一同掌权,并将获得与掌权相伴的某些奖赏(隐藏的吗哪、生命树的果实、特别的白衣、特别雕刻的白石)。没有坚持到底的信徒将不能掌权。然而,他将永远在王国里,因为救恩在我们相信耶稣的那一刻就已经确定了(约翰福音 3:16)。

如果你认为天堂是可以赢得的奖品,那又有什么区别呢?

这关乎生死,关乎天堂或地狱。

假设你坚信自己永恒的命运取决于坚持信仰和善行。在这种情况下,你不相信约翰福音 3:16 的应许。除非你过去相信或将来相信这个应许,否则你最终会与基督永远分离。

如果你是一个在这方面被错误教导所欺骗的信徒,那么你侍奉基督的动机就是错误的。你接受了错误的福音,阻碍了你现在和永恒的祝福。

如果你是一个对自己的救恩仍有把握的信徒,并期待着基督早日再来,那么你就会渴望听到祂说 “好,良善的仆人“(路加福音 19:17)。你渴望得到祂的认可(林前 9:27)。你现在的生活更加充实,因为你 “是凭信心行,不是凭眼见“(林后 5:7)。

永生是一种恩赐(约翰福音 4:10;以弗所书 2:8-10)。它是无代价的(启示录 22:17)。它不是靠打美好的仗,跑完赛跑,坚守信仰就能赢得的奖赏。

眼睛定睛在奖品上是件好事。但要确保是正确的保奖品。
