Никому еще не удалось перегрешить Божью благодать

October 27, 2023 by Ken Yates in Бесплатный дар благодати - 2 Паралипоменон 31, 4 Царств 21, Благодать, Манассия, Милость, Прощение
Манассия, один из правителей Иудейского царства, был нехорошим человеком. Он принес много горя своему народу. Он правил 55 лет, и автор 4 Книги Царств отзывается о нем, как о самом злом царе за всю историю Израиля (4 Царств 21:1-16). Когда Бог дал израильтянам землю обетованную, Он очистил ее от других народов из-за их греха. Однако

– Vers 3 – Diejenigen, die an seinen Namen glauben, sind Kinder Gottes (Johannes 1:12-13) So viele ihn aber aufnahmen, denen gab er das Recht, Kinder Gottes zu werden, denen, die an seinen Namen glauben; *die nicht aus Blut, noch aus dem Willen des Fleisches, noch aus dem Willen des Menschen, sondern aus Gott geboren

Don’t Let Anything Other Than Scripture Guide Your Beliefs and Practices 

October 27, 2023 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - sola scriptura
Christians are to base our beliefs and our practices on God’s Word. Yet there are at least four influences, other than the Bible, that can get in the way of our accepting the teaching of God’s Word: 1) a word or impression supposedly from God; 2) church history (councils, creeds, pastors, authors); 3) experiences we’ve

渴望进入战争(《启》17:14)

October 27, 2023 by Ken Yates in 聚焦恩典 - 上帝的拣选, 哈米吉多顿, 奖赏, 忠心, 蒙召, 被拣选
这对平民来说可能听起来很奇怪,但我可以证明,当我们的国家开战时,军队精英部队的成员渴望成为战斗的一部分。他们认为保卫自己的国家并消除任何威胁是一种荣誉。他们认为自己是在保护自己的家人和朋友。 总有一天会有一场战争——哈米吉多顿之战——世界上所有的军队都会参战。虽然听起来令人难以置信,但当主耶稣基督来审判世人的罪,施行公义,并建立一个公义的国度时,他们将组成一个联盟来对抗祂。即使祂不需要军队,也会有一支为祂而战的军队。 《启示录》17:14描述了那些将在那一天同主一起打那美好的仗的人。约翰说他们是“是蒙召、被选、忠心的人。”。这些人是谁? 有可能约翰说的是那些在大灾难结束时还活着的,信主的犹太人。他们都是忠心的,他们在7年可怕的时间里受了许多的考验。 然而,我认为大多数人会将这些与主站在一边的士兵视作教会。在《启示录》19:14中,约翰说,当主从天上降下来与哈米吉多顿争战时,“天军”与祂同在。在17:14和19:14、16中,耶稣都被称为“万王之王、万主之主”。 当基督再来时,地上信主的犹太人不会从天上下来。教会会这样做。 如果我们假设这些士兵是教会,那么他们具体是谁?他们的数量是否包括所有教会成员,还是只有一些? 我一直设想并被教导认为《启示录》19:14是在讲述所有的基督徒。但当我仔细观察时,情况似乎并非如此。并非所有信徒都可以被称为“忠心的”。例如,耶稣讲了一个比喻,说明有些信徒是忠心的,而有些不是(《马太福音》24:45)。 通常听到的都是所有信徒都“蒙召和被拣选”。通常,这用来描述一种教义就是上帝拣选和召唤一些人在属灵上得救(获得永生),而不呼召其他人的。然而,正如许多人指出的,更好的做法是将这些词语描述为那些以特殊方式被拣选和蒙召来服侍的人。这些词语与宣告与谁将成为信徒和谁不会成为信徒无关。 在《罗马书》8章中,保罗谈到与基督一同受苦和与祂一同作王。这是那些按照圣灵而行的信徒(第14、17-18节)。并非所有信徒都按照圣灵而行;因此,他们不会与主一同受苦。并非所有信徒都将与基督一同作王。那些与基督一同受苦的信徒蒙召为与祂一同作王(第30节)。 我认为,当约翰在哈米吉多顿大战中谈到那些“蒙召、被选、忠心的人”的人时,他并不是在谈论所有信徒。他是在谈论那些将在基督的国度中与祂一同作王的人。他们将受到奖赏。其中一个奖赏将是在祂回来击败祂的敌人时与祂一同骑马(riding)的特权。 有些人可能会对基督徒参与战斗的想法感到反感,但我们必须记住,基督祂自己正在带领前进。这不可能是罪恶的。自堕落以来,创造本身和所有忠心的信徒都渴望公义降临。这必然涉及对邪恶的审判。基督是公义的审判者,祂会执行应得的判决。成为被拣选的和蒙召参与其中的信徒是一种极高的荣誉。 回到我的举例中,战争中总会有精英的士兵。我们称他们为特种部队、海豹突击队和游骑兵等。他们被分配一些其他士兵不会被分配到的任务。理所当然地,他们受到军队领导的高度重视。他们会因他们的服务在很多方面都得到了奖赏。 被认为是基督的“特种部队“的一员不是很棒吗?当祂作为公义的审判官和祂军队的指挥官的身份回来审判世界的不义时,想象一下蒙召和被拣选来参与祂所回来的任务的荣誉。被认为是一个忠心于指挥官的人是多么的荣幸啊!
