The Habit of Bible Reading 

August 14, 2023 by Ken Yates in Blog - 2 Tim 4:13, Acts 17:11, Bereans, Bible study
I think many readers of this blog can relate to my church background. The churches I attended when growing up did not really teach the Bible. I never heard a sermon in which the speaker looked at the context and explained the meaning of the verses that were read. Once the Bible passage for that

Почему Иисус благовествовал (Иоанна 5:39-40)?

August 11, 2023 by Ken Yates in Бесплатный дар благодати - Благовестие, Благодать, Вечная жизнь, Дела
В последнее время я участвую в различных дискуссиях о евангелии вечной жизни. Многие считают, что необязательно настаивать, чтобы неверующий понял, что Иисус предлагает вечную жизнь всем, кто верит в Него ради неё. Неверующий может обрести спасение, не зная этой информации. Вместо этого он может просто верить в различные факты об Иисусе. Например, человек может навеки

„Johannes, das ist Jeremia“ (Jeremia 37-38)

August 11, 2023 by Ken Yates in Freie Gnade im Brennpunkt
Jeremia wird weithin als ein Typus von Christus anerkannt. So viele Dinge in seinem Leben weisen Parallelen zum Leben Christi auf. Aber vor kurzem wurde mir klar, dass Jeremia auch eine andere wichtige Person des Neuen Testaments vorzeichnete. Diese Person war Johannes der Täufer (JdT ). Es gibt auch viele Parallelen zwischen JdT und dem

Looking Out for Others (Hebrews 13:17) 

August 11, 2023 by Ken Yates in Blog - asleep, awake, leaders, love
The author of Hebrews exhorts his readers to obey their spiritual leaders, because “they watch out for your souls.” In other words, these leaders were looking out for, or keeping an eye on, them. This would include warning them about the dangers of the false teaching they were facing. A leader has the extra burden

Calling the Wrong Person (2 Kings 17:24-33) 

August 9, 2023 by Ken Yates in Blog - Assyria, captivity, False Teaching., Grace, Luke 6:39-40
We have all had a job that needed to be done and that we couldn’t complete without help. On some of these occasions, we’ve asked for that help from the wrong person. For example, we might have needed some help fixing our car and a friend told us they could help us because they really

耶稣为什么传福音(《约翰福音》5:39-40)?

August 9, 2023 by Ken Yates in 聚焦恩典 - 传福音, 恩典, 永生, 行为
我最近参与了许多关于永生福音的讨论。许多人认为没有必要坚持让不信的人明白耶稣为每一个相信祂的人提供永生。不信的人可以在不知道的情况下得救。相反,他可以在很多事情上简单地相信耶稣。例如,如果一个人相信耶稣是死在十字架上并从死里复活是神的儿子,他就可以永远得救。 这引起了我的思考。第一世纪的犹太人对即将到来的基督有什么看法?我知道人们有许多不同的‘相信’。一些人相信弥赛亚会来打败罗马,带来一个类似大卫和所罗门时期的繁荣时代。许多人相信,如果他们遵守摩西的律法,他们就会进入那个国度。也许法利赛人是这类人中最著名的例子。一些犹太人相信天国是永恒的,那些进入天国的人将永远活着。然而,另一些人相信那些进入天国的人会死。永生甚至不是神所赐的。即将到来的国度是强烈的民族自豪感的源头。大多数犹太人可能认为,他们需要受割礼,才能成为永恒国度或现世国度的一部分。 据我所知,一个被称为艾赛尼派的犹太团体认为,如果他们脱离当时被他们视为叛教的犹太宗教体系,他们就能成为国度的一部分。他们中有些人甚至搬到耶路撒冷周围的旷野,认为这样才配得上这份荣誉。有迹象表明,一些犹太人,包括艾赛尼派,相信有两个弥赛亚。当然,也有像亚伯拉罕一样的人,他们知道他们将会在一个永恒的国度里,因为他们相信弥赛亚的到来会让他们得到那个礼物。 所有这些不同的团体都相信即将到来的弥赛亚。他们都相信一个即将到来的国度。他们都是有信仰的人。但很明显,他们认为进入那个国度所必需的东西,以及这个国度将是什么样的,在不同的群体之间差别很大。 这很容易让人与今天的神学情形相提并论。有不同的团体相信耶稣是旧约应许要来的弥赛亚。他们都是有信仰的人并切真诚的相信。但他们对祂所提供的内容在看法上存在很大分歧。大多数人会说,如果他们做足够多的好事,祂会给他们进入未来国度的入口。还有人说,如果人们进行某些宗教仪式,就可以进入。对一些人来说,永生是暂时的。它可能会丢失。对另一些人来说,一个人只有在死后才会得到永生,而且只有当他们足够圣洁的时候。 许多人会说,所有这样的人都有永生,即使他们没有意识到这一点。没有必要向他们传福音,因为知道耶稣提供永生并不是必要的。 但要注意的是,耶稣在地上的事工中并没有采取这种态度。祂向那些对祂所赐的有错误看法的人传福音。祂将永生赐给所有相信祂的人。 对于那些认为自己需要努力工作才能获得这样的祝福的人,耶稣给予了强烈的谴责。祂指出,尽管他们有宗教信仰,相信即将到来的弥赛亚和祂的国度,但他们并没有永生。在一个传福音的例子中,祂说:“你们查考圣经,因你们以为其中有永生;而这经正是为我作见证的。然而,你们不肯到我这里来得生命。”(《约翰福音》5:39-40)。 在第一世纪,耶稣传福音给那些宗教人士,这些人不相信只要相信祂就能得到永生。他们认为他们必须以一种特殊的方式生活,才能被认为配得上国度。有很多这样的犹太人。 今天有很多这样的人,他们都是好人,他们是有信仰的人。但他们需要听到生命的信息,就像《约翰福音》5章里的犹太人一样,我们需要把传福音传给他们。

¿Por qué evangelizó Jesús (Juan 5:39-40)?

August 8, 2023 by Ken Yates in Su Gracia Gratuita - Evangelismo, Gracia, Obras, Vida Eterna
Recientemente, he participado en muchas discusiones sobre el evangelio de la vida eterna. Mucha gente piensa que no es necesario insistir en que el no creyente entienda que Jesús ofrece la vida eterna a todo el que crea en Él para ello. El incrédulo puede ser salvo sin saber eso. En cambio, él puede simplemente

Bakit Nag-Eevangelio Si Jesus (Juan 5:39-40)

August 8, 2023 by Ken Yates in Ang Tinig ng Biyaya
Kamakailan napabilang ako sa maraming talakayan tungkol sa evangelio ng buhay na walang hanggan. Maraming tao ang iniisip na hindi kailangang ipilit na maunawaan ng isang hindi mananampalataya na ang inaalok ni Jesus ay buhay na walang hanggan para sa lahat ng nanampalataya sa Kaniya para rito. Ang isang hindi mananampalataya ay maaaring maligtas kahit

Satan’s Plans Thwarted (2 Kings 11:1) 

August 4, 2023 by Ken Yates in Blog - 2 Sam 7:16, Athaliah, Herod
Athaliah was the name of the only queen to ever rule over Judah. She was an evil person. Of all the rulers in Judah, she was the strongest supporter of Baal worship. That is not surprising since she was the daughter of Ahab and Jezebel, devotees of Baal in Israel, the country to the north

Saranno pochi o molti ad essere salvati?

August 2, 2023 by Ken Yates in Grazia Gratuita - Credo Facile, Grazia, Luca 13:23, Sicurezza
In Luca 13:23, al Signore viene chiesto se pochi saranno salvati. In quel contesto, il Signore sta parlando della salvezza diretta alla Nazione di Israele. Ma la domanda viene spesso posta in un senso molto più ampio. La maggior parte delle persone nel mondo farà parte del regno di Dio o il numero sarà molto
