DM问了两个重要的问题:“救恩和重生有区别吗?”救赎和重生可以互换使用吗?” 在我的书《〈圣经〉中最容易被误解的十个词(The Ten Most Misunderstood Words in the Bible)》中,我有一章是关于“得救”和“救恩”的。我指出,在《圣经》中,这些词通常指的是从生活中的困难中解脱出来。他们很少提到重生和永生。 如果你熟悉维恩图,你就会明白。想象两个稍微重叠的圆。重叠的小区域是真实的得救和永生。 看约3:16-17: “神爱世人,甚至将他的独生子赐给他们,叫一切信他的人不致灭亡,反得永生。因为神差他的儿子到世上来,不是要定世人的罪,而是要使世人因他得救。 16节中的永生和17节中的得救是一样的意思。(而灭亡与定罪是对应的。) 但这实际上是“得救”这个词的罕见用法。 以下是一些《新约》例子,其中“得救”表示从生活中的困难中解脱出来: 就是那些从前在挪亚预备方舟、上帝容忍等待的时候不信从的人。当时进入方舟,藉着水得救的不多,只有八个人。(彼得前书3:20)和合修订本 但百夫长要救保罗,不准他们任意而行,就吩咐会游水的,跳下水去,先上岸;(使徒行传27:43)合和修订本 说:“你这拆毁殿、三日又建造起来的,救救你自己吧!如果你是上帝的儿子,就从十字架上下来呀!”(马太福音27:40)合和修订本 出于信心的祈祷必能救那病人,主必叫他起来;他若犯了罪,也必蒙赦免。(雅各书5:15)合和修订本 厄尔·拉德马赫(Earl Radmacher)博士过去常开玩笑说,他有时会在晚饭前被救三次。他的意思是上帝把他从各种困难中拯救出来:车祸、经济损失、耻辱、疾病等等。 被拯救的人总是需要被拯救。也就是说,有永生的人仍然需要神把他们从今生面临的许多困难中拯救出来。 非常棒的问题,DM。 ___ 鲍勃·威尔金(Bob Wilkin)(达拉斯神学院神学硕士,博士)恩典福音派协会(Grace Evangelical Society)创始人及执行主任,聚焦恩典电台(Grace in Focus […]
