Важно ли, если мы верим, что Рай - это награда, которую надо завоевать?

“Все подвижники воздерживаются от всего: те для получения венца тленного, а мы–нетленного.” (1 Кор 9:25) “стремлюсь к цели, к почести вышнего звания Божия во Христе Иисусе.” (Флп 3:14) Христианам поручено […]

没有行为的信心是什么

我们在《雅各书》第二章两次读到“没有行为的信心是死的”(雅2:20,26)。还有一次在雅各书2:17我们读到“信心若没有行为就是死的”。很多参考书作者聚焦死这个词。他们错误地认为雅各的意思是信心没有行为就不是信心。但是死在上下文中意思是没有益处。注意在14节开始和16节结尾的这个表达“这有什么益处?”之后雅各说,“这样,信心若没有行为就是死的/没有益处的”(雅2:17)。 更多的关于信心没有行为就是死的这一表述见这篇文章。 大家没有关注这个表述的第一部分。什么是没有行为的信心? 在第二章雅各好几次告诉我们这个表达的意思。 在第十七节雅各说,没有行为的信就是 “本身(by itself)” 的信。在第 20 节和第 26 节中,他重复了 “没有行为的信 ”这一表述。 信心本身意思是单独的信心(faith alone)。在拉丁文中,就是sola fide。 在第 12 节和第 15-16 节中,没有行为的信心指的是光说不做的人。 在第 13 节和第 15-16 节中,表达的是对需要帮助的人毫不怜悯。 在第 14 节中,没有行为的信心是指一个人相信《圣经》的原则,但却没有将该原则付诸实践的行为。 […]
