Sin and the Fear of Hell 

April 5, 2024 by Ken Yates in Blog - Acts 16:31, Conviction, evangelism, John 3:16, Repentance
Those who oppose Free Grace Theology often say that it does not emphasize the sinfulness of the unbeliever in an acceptable way. We are told that when we evangelize, it is not enough to tell unbelievers that Jesus offers them eternal life if they will believe in Him for it. The unbeliever must first “admit

Прощение грехов это синоним вечной жизни?

April 4, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Бесплатный дар благодати - Плата за грех смерть, Прощение и вечная жизнь
Я послал Гранту мой блог, в котором я ответил на его вопрос о прощении и спасении. В ответ он написал мне следующее: Большое спасибо за скорый ответ. Я понимаю, что Вы имеете в виду: Иисус неоднократно обещал, что всякий, верующий в Него, имеет вечную жизнь, не упоминая при этом, что верующие автоматически обладают прощением грехов.

¿Por qué es bueno que los creyentes puedan apartarse?

April 4, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Su Gracia Gratuita - Apartarse, Perseverancia
Esta idea me vino en un sueño anoche. He estado tomando un miligramo de melatonina por la noche, y mis sueños se han vuelto más vívidos. No estoy sugiriendo que esta idea para este artículo esté inspirada por Dios o la melatonina. Pero me gustó la idea que tuve. ¿Permites a tus hijos la posibilidad

Ang ideyang ito ay dumating sa akin sa isang panaginip kagabi. Umiinom ako ng isang miligramo ng melatonin pag gabi at ang aking mga panaginip ay mas buhay. Hindi ko minumungkahing ang ideya sa blog na ito ay kinasihan ng Diyos o ng melatonin. Ngunit gusto ko ang ideya na sana nga. Hinayaan mo ba

Why Do We Have to Hold Fast to the Gospel to Stay Saved? 

April 4, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - 1 Corinthians 15:1-2, Holding fast to the gospel
Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain (1 Cor 15:1-2, emphasis added). I’ve written blogs on 1 Cor 15:1-2

Perché è un bene che i credenti abbiano la possibilità di allontanarsi (dalla fede)?

April 3, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Grazia Gratuita - Apostasia, Perseveranza
Questa idea mi è venuta con un sogno fatto la notte scorsa. Sto assumendo un milligrammo di melatonina per notte e i miei sogni sono diventati più vividi. Non voglio insinuare che l’idea per questo blog sia stata ispirata da Dio o dalla melatonina, ma mi è piaciuta. Concedete ai vostri figli la possibilità di

The Arrogance of Lordship Salvation (2 Corinthians 13:5) 

April 3, 2024 by Ken Yates in Blog - Humility, Luke 18:9-14, pride, Works
I recently heard a sermon by a proponent of Lordship Salvation. His name is not important because what he said applies to any proponent of that theology who speaks on the topic of eternal salvation. You have probably heard the same things I heard in this sermon, even if they were stated in different ways.

罗得妻子的教训

April 3, 2024 by Kathryn Wright in 聚焦恩典 - 创19, 所多玛和蛾摩拉, 罗得, 罗得的妻子, 路17:32-33
在《创世纪》第 19 章中,我们读到了罗得和所多玛、蛾摩拉毁灭的故事。在这个著名的故事中,罗得、他的妻子和他们的两个女儿在不情愿的情况下被上帝派来的天使拖出了他们的家乡。他们原本有机会从即将到来的对这座城市的审判中获救。然而,罗得的妻子因为回头看城而死。在城市被毁之后,罗得和他的女儿们陷入乱伦的罪恶中,导致两个儿子的出生。通过这两个儿子,也诞生了两个邪恶的国家,最终罗得和他家族的遗产也以毁灭和死亡告终。 在与改革宗神学家打交道时,这是一个有趣的案例研究。改革宗神学教导信徒要过正直的生活。他们认为,如果一个人 是“真正”得救的,他就不会习惯性地犯罪,而是会坚持行善。如果仅凭《创世记》第 19 章中的记载,我们无法从罗得的行为中看出他过着正直的生活。他决定住在所多玛,当他被告知要离开这座城市以保护他时,他与天使争论起来。他不想离开他喜欢住的地方,并请求被带到附近一个小一点的城镇。 罗斯(Ross)说: “救援主题中令人惊奇的是他们的反抗——这家人宁愿不走。这种张力核心是一家人融入了索多玛的生活……”(艾伦·P·罗斯,《创造与祝福:创世纪研究与阐释指南( Creation and Blessing: A Guide to the Study and Exposition of Genesis)》,第 355 页)。 这段故事的结局远非理想。罗得喝醉了酒,和他的女儿们睡在一起。如果读者仅凭这段关于罗得行为的记载来判断他是否重生,那么他们只能认为这个人是个不信的人。然而,重生并不是由行为决定的。此外,在《彼得后书》中,使徒对罗得做了一个令人吃惊的陈述,说他实际上是一个义人(《彼得后书》 2:7-8)。基于这句话,大多数改革宗神学家似乎都不情愿地承认这个人得救了。 罗斯对罗得做出了这样精辟的评论: 真正的信仰往往难以察觉(罗斯,《创造与祝福》,第 357 页)。 尽管改革宗神学家可能会勉强承认罗得的重生,但故事中还有一个人值得进一步关注。那罗得的妻子呢?关于罗得的妻子,《圣经》没有像对罗得那样明确说明她是否是信徒。许多人认为她是个不信的人,因为她没有顺服主,也因为她回头看了一眼所多玛。然而,正如她的丈夫已经证明的那样,不顺从并不能否定她的得救。 此外,在《路加福音》17:32-33 中,主对罗得的妻子做了这样一个有趣的评论: “你们想想罗得的妻子吧! 凡想保全性命的,要丧失性命;凡丧失性命的,要保存性命。”  在这段经文中,主在对门徒讲话(第 22 节),并在讨论末世。在上下文中,祂警告大灾难时期的信徒,为今生而不是来世而活是危险的。这个警告适用于所有时代的信徒。《新约》充满了对信徒的警告,要他们警惕现世的干扰(《约一》2:15-17;《雅》4:4)。信徒有可能被世界诱惑。我们的目光会飘忽不定,只盯着眼前及其空洞的应许,而不是主和祂永恒的应许。主的意思很清楚。我们可能会像罗得的妻子一样。 如果罗得的妻子是个不信的人,这种比较就很奇怪。他是在对信徒说话,并引用她作为我们的例子。我们也会落入罗得妻子所落入的陷阱。与改革宗神学家的说法相反,信徒也会失败,就像罗得的妻子一样,我们可以为现世而活,但如果我们这样做,就会导致我们的毁灭,甚至肉体的死亡。这就是主在第 33 节中所指的救恩的类型。罗得的妻子所面临的危险并不是永恒的诅咒。而是她的家园、财产以及最终肉体生命的毁灭。就像所多玛被毁灭一样,这个世界也同样会毁灭。作为信徒,如果我们像罗得的妻子一样,把毕生的精力都投入到这个注定毁灭的世界中,我们就会失去我们所珍视的一切。 也许你读到这里,仍然认为罗得的妻子是个不信的人。关于这一点,我们还有讨论的余地。然而,无论她个人的重生如何,很明显,她是一个提醒,是对信徒的警告。我们可能会像她一样。如果我们不能忍耐,就会失去将来国度的好处(《提摩太后书》2:12)。如果我们贪婪或自我追求,我们就会经历生命的毁灭。如果我们为今世而活,而不是为来世而活,我们也会经历过早的死亡。她的例子对所有信徒来说无疑是一个悲哀和发人深省的警告。因此,让我们听从主的教导。记住罗得的妻子!

¿Es el perdón de los pecados sinónimo de tener vida eterna?

April 2, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Su Gracia Gratuita - La paga del pecado es muerte, Perdón y vida eterna
Envié a Grant mi artículo del blog en el que respondí a su pregunta sobre el perdón y la salvación. Él escribió esto en respuesta: Muchas gracias por la rápida respuesta.

Ang Kapatawaran Ba Ng Mga Kasalanan Ay Kasinkahulugan Ng Pagkakaroon Ng Buhay Na Walang Hanggan

Pinadala ko kay Grant ang aking blog kung saan sinagot ko ang kaniyang tanong tungkol sa kapatawaran ng mga kasalanan at kaligtasan.
