Cztery bardzo skuteczne kobiety-rolniczki (Łukasza 8:8)

July 28, 2025 by Ken Yates in Jedynie Wiara, czyli darmowa łaska w centrum uwagi
W Ewangelii Łukasza 8:4-15 jest przedstawiona wersja przypowieści o czterech rodzajach gleby. Większość czytelników tego bloga zna tę przypowieść nauczaną przez Pana Jezusa Chrystusa. Jedna z różnic między wersją z Łukasza a wersją z Marka znajduje się w Łukasza 8:8. Marek mówi, że dobra gleba wydaje plon trzydziestokrotny, sześćdziesięciokrotny lub stukrotny (Marka 4:8). Łukasz mówi

Why Few Evangelicals Share Their Faith

July 28, 2025 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Evangelicals, evangelism, John 3:16, Repentance
I believe many Christians are reluctant to share their faith for two main reasons:   They aren’t sure what a person needs to do to be saved. They think it at least includes their turning from their sins and deciding to follow Jesus, and they find it pushy to confront people about their sins and their

耶稣时代的犹太人那时正在寻求永生 ——《约翰福音》5:39-40的重新审视

July 28, 2025 by Bob Wilkin in 聚焦恩典 - 《旧约》中的信徒, 《约翰福音》5:39-40, 在《旧约》中的永生, 永生
你们查考圣经,因你们以为其中有永生;而这经正是为我作见证的。 然而,你们不肯到我这里来得生命。《约》5:39-40 我的朋友文斯·迪根(Vince Deegan)大约二十年前在教会与我同工时,曾提醒我《约》5:39-40的奥秘。他最近给我发了一段简短的补充见解,促使我写下这篇博客。文斯写道: 《约翰福音》5:39中还有一些额外的见解。耶稣非常明确地指出,永生对犹太人来说绝非一个新概念。相反,永生是一个普遍的想法(和目标),正是因为这个原因,他们才去查考圣经。因此,犹太人早已在寻求永生这一事实,为耶稣不需要特别指出他们查考的对象(英文版本圣经没有用for 来引出查考的对象),就告诉他们要相信祂以获得他们一直在寻求的永生,提供了非常合理的解释。他们已经在寻求永生了。但他们尚未相信的是,祂是唯一能赐予他们永生的那一位,正如祂在《约翰福音》5:39-40中所澄清的。 当主耶稣谈到永生时,它是一种现在就拥有并持续到永远的。它永远不会失去。 这并非律法主义的犹太人所寻求的。他们寻求的是许多加尔文主义者现在所说的“最终得救”。在他们看来,除非一个人在一生中坚持遵守上帝的诫命,否则他无法获得永生。他们专注于两大诫命:爱主和爱邻舍。他们认为,所有在他们死的时候还是好的犹太人都会获得永生。 他们在两点上都错了:1) 他们认为遵守律法,而不是对基督的信心,是获得永生的途径,2) 他们认为永生要等到他们死后才开始。 主耶稣明确纠正了他们第一点。祂说:“但你们不愿意到我这里来[即信我]i,好叫你们有生命。” 我怀疑祂是否也在纠正他们的第二个观点。当祂说“好叫你们有生命”时,其含义是生命始于信心的时刻。当然,这一点在《约》3:16;5:24; 6:35、37、39、47;11:25-27;以及20:31等经文中,这一点是显而易见的。然而,即使在《约》5:39-40中,也明确指出凡信祂的人就有永生。 一些圣经学者认为,希伯来圣经中没有永生的概念。《约》5:39-40证明了这种说法是错误的。主是在对沉浸于《旧约》的人说话。那时教会尚未成立。祂引用希伯来圣经,说他们查考这些经文是为了寻找永生。他们没有反对,因为他们确实是在希伯来圣经中寻求永生。 自从文斯把《约翰福音》5:39-40指给我看以来,这些经文就成了我传福音的工具箱中最喜欢的经文之一。它们帮助我保持聚焦在恩典上。 ___________________ i 主在《约翰福音》6:35中把:“到我这里来的人必定不饿;信我的人永远不渴。” 中“到他这里来”等同于相信祂的。对比《约》7:37和《太》11:28。“跟从祂”是作门徒的问题:“若有人要跟从我,就当舍己,背起他的十字架来跟从我。”参见《路》14:27。(顺便说一句,《太》11:29也是讲作门徒问题的经文,因为主在谈论将背起祂的轭并向祂学习,这两者都是作门徒的概念。)

Why You Shouldn’t Evangelize Like a Pro 

July 25, 2025 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - 1 John 5:13, Acts 2:38, evangelism, John 3:16, Jonah 3:3-6
I was taught evangelism in seminary by a very famous theologian and by a professional evangelist. Neither was crystal clear on what a person needed to do to be saved forever. The other day, Sam Marr, who’s been with GES since last October, showed me a magazine article on evangelism. The article was by a

Reaching Out to Pagan Soldiers 

July 24, 2025 by Ken Yates in Blog - centurion, evangelism, John 16:8, Luke 23:34, Pilate
The movie Risen is about a Roman tribune under Pontius Pilate. It presents a fictional account of a Roman soldier who comes to faith after witnessing the death and resurrection of Christ. I like the movie. It is generally faithful to the Gospel accounts of Christ’s death and resurrection. All the movie’s main characters are

Gli ebrei dell’epoca di Gesù cercavano la vita eterna – Giovanni 5:39-40 riesaminato

July 24, 2025 by Bob Wilkin in Grazia Gratuita - Giovanni 5:39-40, Vita Eterna, Vita eterna nell'Antico Testamento
Voi investigate le Scritture perché pensate di avere per mezzo di esse vita eterna, ed esse son quelle che rendono testimonianza di me; eppure non volete venire a me per avere la vita! Giovanni 5:39-40 Vince Deegan, un mio amico, mi fece notare il potere di Giovanni 5:39-40 circa vent’anni fa, quando eravamo insieme in

Иудеи времен Иисуса искали вечную жизнь — пересмотр Иоанна 5:39-40

July 23, 2025 by Bob Wilkin in Бесплатный дар благодати - Вечная жизнь, Вечная жизнь в Ветхом Завете, Иоанна 5:39-40
Вы старательно исследуете Писания, надеясь через них получить жизнь вечную. А ведь эти Писания свидетельствуют обо Мне. (Иоанна 5:39, НРП) Мой друг Винс Диган (англ. Vince Deegan) обратил мое внимание на глубину смысла, заложенную в Иоанна 5:39-40, еще 20 лет назад, когда мы оба ходили в одну церковь. Недавно он прислал мне дополнительный вывод, который

Ne sudite usjev po stabljici

July 23, 2025 by Kathryn Wright in Milost u Fokusu - Hebrejima 12:1-3, Izaija 49:4, Izaija 50:7, Rimljanima 8:18, Sluga, žetva
Jednom sam vidjela sliku na kojoj su bila dva zeca koji su stajala pored posađenih mrkvi. Pokraj zeca s lijeve strane, iz zemlje je virila tek tanka zelena stabljika. Bila je poput grančice, čak nije ni dosezala do vrha zecovih ušiju. Bio je tužan. Nasuprot tome, zec s desne strane imao je veliku stabljiku. Pored

Los judíos en tiempos de Jesús buscaban la vida eterna (Juan 5:39-40 reconsiderado)

July 22, 2025 by Bob Wilkin in Su Gracia Gratuita
Escudriñad las Escrituras; porque a vosotros os parece que en ellas tenéis la vida eterna; y ellas son las que dan testimonio de mí; y no queréis venir a mí para que tengáis vida (Juan 5:39-40). Hace unos veinte años, mi amigo Vince Deegan me hizo apreciar la fuerza de Juan 5:39-40 mientras asistíamos a la misma iglesia.
