The Righteous Are Scarcely Saved? What Does 1 Peter 4:18 Mean? 

January 19, 2026 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Salvation by suffering, the saving of the soul
Now “If the righteous one is scarcely saved, Where will the ungodly and the sinner appear?” (1 Peter 4:18).  If the righteous will be recompensed on the earth, How much more the ungodly and the sinner (Prov 11:31).   Tom Schreiner, a leading Calvinist NT scholar, makes this comment on 1 Pet 4:18:  The word molis can mean “scarcely” (Rom 5:7) or “with difficulty”

Does What We Do Impact Us Forever? Part 3 

January 16, 2026 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Accountability, degrees of torment, Great White Throne Judgment
In part 1, we saw that the Bible teaches that everyone is judged during this life according to his works. In part 2, we saw that the eternal experience of believers will depend on how their works are evaluated by the Lord at the Judgment Seat of Christ (the Bema). In part 3 we will see that

Does What We Do Impact Us Forever? Part 2 

January 14, 2026 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - 1 Pet 4:13, 2 Cor 5:10, The Judgment Seat of Christ
In part 1, we saw that the Bible teaches that everyone is judged during this life according to his works. Whether believer or unbeliever, we are all accountable for our actions. We reap what we sow in this life.  But what about the life to come? Will the eternal experiences of believers and unbelievers vary depending on their good and

Does What We Do Impact Us Forever? Part 1 

January 12, 2026 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - God judges us according to our works
Recently, actor and Christian apologist Kirk Cameron stirred up a lot of controversy when he suggested that annihilationism may be what happens to those who do not come to faith in Christ.   Part of his argument was that he thinks it would be unfair of God to punish people forever for a finite number of sins. In his view, a finite number

What’s Wrong with Calvinism? Part 6: Calvinism’s Preservation of the Saints Is Unbiblical 

January 9, 2026 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Eternal Security, John 4:13-15, Luke 8:13
For years I thought that Calvinists believed in eternal security and Arminians did not. I thought that the doctrine of eternal security was the heart of Calvinism. As a result, after graduating from seminary I called myself a Calvinist even though I did not believe in Calvinism’s other points.   I came to see, however, that most Calvinists do not actually believe in eternal security. Most

Jeste li znali da neka duhovna ulaganja zapravo mogu umanjiti vaše vječne nagrade?

January 7, 2026 by Bob Wilkin in Milost u Fokusu - 1. Ivanova 2:24-28, 2. Ivanova 10-11, 2. Ivanova 7-11, 3. Ivanova, duhovno ulaganje, suradnici
2001. bivši zaposlenici Enrona svjedočili su pred Kongresom, objašnjavajući kako je propast, naizgled nepobjedive energetske tvrtke, izbrisala njihovu životnu ušteđevinu. Njihovi mirovinski fondovi su nestali. Njihova radna mjesta i plaće su nestale. Njihova životna ušteđevina, u mnogim slučajevima, također je nestala. Ako uložiš novac u lošu tvrtku, izgubit ćeš novac. Možda ćeš izgubiti jako puno

What’s Wrong with Calvinism? Part 5: Calvinism’s Perseverance of the Saints Is Unbiblical 

January 7, 2026 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Eternal Security, John 11:25-27, Revelation 20:11-15
Dr. Tony Badger, author of Confronting Calvinism, says this about the so-called Perseverance of the Saints:  Not a single passage of Scripture…demonstrates that one who believes in Christ for eternal life…must perform properly and remain morally and doctrinally pure…until the end of his physical life so as to…prove that he is forever God’s child. Contrarily, the Bible is replete with examples

Știați că unele investiții spirituale vă pot diminua răsplătirile veșnice?

January 5, 2026 by Bob Wilkin in Har Gratuit: Păstrează harul în centrul atenției
În 2001, foști angajați ai Enron au depus mărturie în fața Congresului pentru a explica cum economiile lor de o viață s-au evaporat odată cu prăbușirea acelei companii energetice care părea de neclintit. Fondurile lor de pensie au dispărut. Slujbele și salariile lor au dispărut. Iar în multe cazuri, economiile de o viață s-au risipit

What’s Wrong with Calvinism? Part 4: Calvinism’s Irresistible Grace Is Unbiblical 

January 5, 2026 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Calvinism, drawing, Irresistible Grace, John 12:32, Matt 23:37-39
Dr. Tony Badger, author of Confronting Calvinism, will be teaching a thirteen-week elective class on Calvinism starting January 25. Here is what he says about Irresistible Grace: Not a single passage of Scripture in either the Old or New Testament expresses or teaches the notion that…the Holy Spirit imposes regeneration upon [anyone]…The Scripture teaches that

你知道吗?有些属灵投资会削弱你的永恒奖赏

January 5, 2026 by Bob Wilkin in 聚焦恩典 - 同工, 属灵投资, 约一2:24-28, 约三, 约二10-11, 约二7-11
2001年,安然公司(Enron)倒闭后,一些前雇员在美国国会作证,讲述了他们一生积蓄如何随着这家看似不可战胜的能源巨头的崩塌而化为乌有。他们的退休基金没了,工作和薪水没了,许多人一辈子的积蓄也没了。如果你把钱投资在一家糟糕的公司里,你就会亏钱,而且可能会亏很多钱。 在属灵层面也是如此,只是大多数信徒并未意识到这一点。若你把金钱、时间和才干投资在一间规模庞大、受欢迎、充满娱乐性,却没有忠实教导神话语的教会里,那么在基督的审判台(Bema)前,这样的投资可能会带来负面的结果。对超教会事工、妇女团契、查经班或任何事工的奉献与支持,也是同样的道理。 大多数基督徒从未听说过“基督的审判台”(Bema),也不相信有永恒的奖赏。而在那些知道我们将要在审判台前受审的人当中,又有许多人没有意识到:我们会因自己所投入时间、才干和财富的一些对象而受到责备。 在基督的审判台前,我们的属灵投资可能结出极大的奖赏;但也可能毫无永恒价值,甚至带来负面的永恒价值。因此,你在属灵投资上,应当像在财务投资上一样谨慎。 在希腊文中,《约翰二书》被称为“β(Beta)约翰”。我用这个来帮助记忆:Beta 约翰提醒读者,不要把时间、才干和财富投资在坏的教师身上(Bad teachers)。如果你这样做了,就等于持有了一支糟糕的属灵股票(参 约二 7–11)。 在第一世纪,有许多巡回教导的人。约翰写道:“若有人到你们那里,不是传这教训,不要接他到家里,也不要问他的安;因为问他安的,就在他的恶行上有分。”(约二 10–11)这里的意思是:不要接待他、供养他,也不要祝福他的事工。 如果你为抢银行的人开逃跑用的车,你就是在参与他的抢劫罪行。更糟的是,如果他在犯罪过程中杀了人,你同样也要为谋杀负责。同样地,如果你支持一个传讲错误教导的事工、教会或宣教士,你就是在分享他们的恶行,也同样要为这些恶行负责。 这种基本教导在其他经文中也能找到,例如:林前 15:53;加 1:6–9;5:7–10;西 2:8–23;雅 3:1;约一 2:24–28。 要智慧地投资你的时间、才干和财富,你将来一定会为此感到欣慰;但不要忘记,属灵投资同样存在风险。务要确保你所投资的是真理。 “真理”一词在《约翰一书》(Alpha John)中出现了九次,在《约翰二书》(Beta John)中出现了五次,在《约翰三书》(Gamma John)中出现了六次i——短短七章里共出现二十次。在他的书信中,约翰不断强调投资真理的重要性。若我们这样做,就会“为真理同工”(约三 8)。他也一再强调,我们绝不可投资在那些被称为“敌基督的”(约一 2:18、22;约二 7)、“迷惑人的”(约一 2:26;3:7;约二 7),以及“不常守基督教训的”(约二 9)教师身上。 即便我们出于再好的动机去支持那些传讲错误教导的人,我们仍然是在参与他们的恶行。良好的动机,不能抹去这样一个事实:当我们投资在坏的教师身上时,我们就在参与那些不讨神喜悦的事。 牢牢记住恩典,你就能在时间、才干和财富上作出智慧的属灵投资。 i《约翰三书(Gamma John)》的信息是:把你的时间,才干和财富投资在好的(Good)教师上。 ___ 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 Radio)联合主持人。他同妻子莎伦(Sharon)住在德州高地村(Highland Village, TX)。鲍勃最新的书有《在一百节经文中的“单凭信心”(暂译)》(Faith Alone in One Hundred Verses)和《回转来活:悔改的力量(暂译)》(Turn and Live: The Power of Repentance)。
