在保罗的书信中,什么是他心中最重要的应许

前几天,我听巴克夫·奥西吉安 (Barkef Osigian) 牧师讲解《加拉太书》 3:15-29。他指出,“应许”一词在这些经文中出现了八次。巴克夫的信息让我开始思考,并写下了这篇博客。 “应许”一词在保罗的书信中出现了三十次。 他六次提到复数的“应许”(《罗》 9:4;15:8;《林后》 1:20;7:1;《加》3:16,21)。这些应许指的是神对亚伯拉罕及其后裔的各种应许:土地的应许、被拣选之民的应许、通过亚伯拉罕祝福世界万族的应许,也就是不靠行为、单凭信心称义的应许(《创》 12:1-3;《加》 3:8)。 在保罗的书信中,什么是他心中最重要的应许?从《加》 3:15-29 和其他二十四处提到单数应许的地方可以看出。那就是唯独因信称义,与行为无关的应许(如《加》3:14、17、18、19、22、29;4:23、28)。 这个应许本质上与信耶稣得永生的应许相同(《约》 3:6;《加》1:11-12;3:21;《提后》1:1)。 所有信徒都有未来继承权的保证(《加》 3:18,29)。所有信徒都是“神的后嗣”(《罗》 8:17a)。但只有坚持信和好行为的信徒才能成为 “与基督同作后嗣”的人(《罗》 8:17b;《加》 5:21;《弗》 5:5)。 我把所有信徒都会得到的继承称为“被动继承”。一旦我们为了永生而相信耶稣,我们就确信会拥有荣耀的身体,并永远成为祂天国的一部分。但是,要想在来生与基督一同掌权,并获得所有掌权者都会有的奖赏(如特殊的白衣、生命树的权利、隐藏的吗哪),我们必须在今生成为得胜者。这种继承通常被称为 “继承国度”,我喜欢称之为 “积极继承”。它是没有保证(参见《林前》 9:24-27;《提后》 4:6-8)。 应许,应许。 神的哪些应许对你来说最珍贵?
