Недавно я слышал как пастор Баркеф Осиджиан [англ. Barkef Osigian] анализировал отрывок в Послании к Галатам 3:15-29. Он отметил, что слово “обещание” попадается восемь раз в этих стихах. Проповедь Баркефа […]
È facile rimanere intrappolati in una bolla. Crediamo, inconsciamente, che le cose che pensiamo o di cui ci preoccupiamo siano le stesse per tutti. Qualche volta, però, questa bolla finisce […]

东北地区的马克发来了一个《马可福音 》1:14-15 中关于“福音”的常见问题： 《马可福音》1：15 说：“‘时候到了，神的国近了，你们应当悔改，相信福音！’” 我和妻子都是忠实的听众。能否请您详细解释一下这节经文？ 要理解第 15 节，你必须参考上一节经文。14节写道：“约翰被捕以后，耶稣来到加利利，宣讲 神的福音”。“福音”一词翻译过来的意思就是“好消息”。上下文告诉我们，第 15 节指的是神的天国的好消息正在向那一代犹太人提供。天国已经临近。有些译本说它“就在眼前了（at hand.”）”。 如果我们认为这是指给加拉太人的信中的好消息：唯独因信称义，与行为无关。那就让人很糊涂了。 但主耶稣为什么要提到悔改呢？永生的条件是对基督的信，而不是悔改。这里的问题不是个人的救恩。问题的关键在于神的国度将降临给当时生活在这里的整个以色列民族。 为了让天国降临，犹太民族必须相信并与神相交。因此，神呼召人们悔改，相信神的天国就在眼前。相信神的天国就在眼前很可能意味着一个人需要相信耶稣是带来天国的王。如果有人相信这一点，他很可能就会相信耶稣永生的应许，即所有信祂的人都会得到永生（如《约翰福音》 3：16）。 参见2022年2 月的博客对《马可福音》 1:14-15 的解释。 可悲的是，许多人误解并认为天国的福音就是向所有悔改并相信基督的人提供永远的救恩（例如，见 gotquestions.org 的这篇文章）。当我翻阅各种注释时，除了《恩典新约注释》（The Grace NT Commentary）之外，其他所有注释都将《马可福音》 1：15 解释为耶稣向悔改并相信天国已经降临的人提供永远的救恩。 《马可福音》1:15 与《约翰福音》3:16 […]
