Tila Pamilyar Iyan (Jeremias 9:25-26)

August 24, 2022 by Ken Yates in Ang Tinig ng Biyaya
Kapag nagbabasa ako ng Lumang Tipan, nasisiyahan akong makita ang isang bagay na espisipikong tinukoy ng mga manunulat ng Bagong Tipan. Nasumpungan ko ang aking sariling nagbabasa at nagsasabing, “Ito ay nagpapaalala sa aking ng isang bagay na sinabi ni Pablo. Ito kaya ang nasa isip ni Pablo?” Minsan ang mga reperensiyang ito ay halata.

Gioia Misericordiosa (Luca 15:25-32)

August 24, 2022 by Ken Yates in Grazia Gratuita - Luca 15:25-32
Non bisogna essere uno studioso Biblico per sapere che il Signore ci comanda di essere misericordiosi verso gli altri. Essere misericordiosi non significa soltanto che dobbiamo perdonare gli altri. Include un’attitudine generale di come noi vediamo gli altri. Un credente misericordioso non mette in primo piano il ricco a discapito del povero, per esempio. Un

I Think I Will Try the Good Figs (Jeremiah 24:2)

August 24, 2022 by Ken Yates in Blog - captivity, Jeremiah, rewards, tribulations
I can’t remember the last time I ate a fig. I vaguely remember that I didn’t particularly like them. The last time I thought about figs was when I was in the Army during the Iraqi War. The prime minister of that country famously said that his country did not fear the United States. He

听起来很熟悉(《耶利米书》9:25-26)

August 24, 2022 by Ken Yates in 聚焦恩典 - 割礼,称义,仪式,《罗马书》2章
当我读旧约时,我喜欢看到新约作者特别提到的东西。我发现自己一边读一边说:“这让我想起了保罗说过的话。不知道他心里有没有这一段?” 有时这样的引用是显而易见的。例如,保罗可能会引用旧约中的一段特定经文,你知道他是这么想的。然而,其他时候,没有直接引用。我最近在读《耶利米书》时遇到了这样的情况。 在《耶利米书》中,先知对一个认为神不会为他们的罪审判他们的国家说话。毕竟,他们是祂的选民。神的圣殿就在他们的首都。他们每天在圣殿里向神献祭。当耶利米告诉他们,如果他们不悔改,巴比伦人会来摧毁他们的首都和圣殿时,他们 相信他,尽管他这样告诉他们大约 40 年之久。 耶利米时代的以色列人错误地认为神因他们的宗教仪式而喜悦他们。他们举行这些仪式是因为他们与神立了约。作为那约的记号,这些人都受了割礼。他们的割礼是他们依赖的另一种仪式。在他们看来,神永远不会管教一个受过割礼的民族。 有一次,耶利米告诉人们,在他们与神的关系中,真正重要的是他们认识祂。他们应该是一个了解神属性的民族。祂是一位有恩典、公义并且喜爱公平的神(耶 9:24)。那就是他们的神。显然,关键是他们应该寻求以同样的方式存在和行动。 这本书的一个主要主题就是,如果他们不按照神的吩咐去做,他们的宗教仪式就毫无意义,如果他们不实行公义和公平,虽然他们有圣殿,又在殿里献祭,那有什么好处呢?,神应许过如果他们不顺服祂就会被管教,他们的仪式会保护他们免受神的管教吗?耶利米的回答是明确的否定。只有当仪式反映了一颗爱主的心和顺从神命令的生活时它们才是好的。 在《耶利米书》9 章,先知将此应用于割礼。他告诉他们,有一天神会惩罚那些身体受过割礼但内心仍未受割礼的人。然后他告诉他们,即使他们已经完成了仪式,他们的心中仍然没有受割礼。他们的悖逆行为表明他们的心不喜悦主。 这对他们来说应该是显而易见的。耶利米提醒他们,他们周围的国家也实行割礼。这些国家包括埃及、以东、亚扪和摩押。但他们不认识神。他们剪头发的方式表明他们对其他神灵的忠诚,即使他们受过割礼。他们的割礼会使他们免于敬拜别神吗?当然不会。是什么让以色列人认为当他们主动不顺服神时,他们身体的割礼会讨神喜悦(耶 9:25-26)? 事实上,他们也敬拜其他神。 保罗在《罗马书》2:25-29 中虽然没有逐字引用这些经文,但他牢记在心。他在那里谈论一个人如何在神面前被称义。在对他那个时代的犹太人讲话时,他指出他们中的许多人认为他们的割礼表明他们在神眼中是义的。但如果这个人不遵守律法,身体上的割礼就毫无意义。需要有一个心的割礼。 在保罗的讨论中,他指出没有人遵守摩西律法。在神面前成为义人的唯一方法是单单相信基督。底线是这样的:宗教仪式不能使任何人在神面前被接受。只有相信基督才能做到这一点。 耶利米不得不责备他那个时代的人相信宗教仪式。他们确信这些东西可以保护他们免受神的管教。为了他们爱主,想要讨祂喜悦的缘故,他们本应该行割礼和献祭。 今天,许多人还信靠宗教仪式,如教堂出席、十一奉献、洗礼、祷告和领圣餐。他们相信,如果他们能忠于这些仪式直到死去,他们就会被接纳进入基督的国度。但这是不正确的。从来没有人因为他或她行这些事而在神面前称义或获得永生。在教堂服侍、为基督事工奉献和受洗应该只是表达对神恩典的感恩之心。在基督里,信徒知道他有永生,这永生是永不会丢失的免费礼物(《约翰福音》3:16;5:24;11:26)。无论我们重视什么仪式,它们都与此无关。

Eso me suena (Jeremías 9:25-26)

August 23, 2022 by Ken Yates in Su Gracia Gratuita - Circuncisión, Justificación, Rituales, Romanos 2
Cuando leo el Antiguo Testamento, me gusta encontrar algo a lo que los escritores del Nuevo Testamento se refieran específicamente. Me encuentro a mí mismo leyendo y diciendo: “Esto me recuerda a algo que dijo Pablo. Me pregunto si tenía este pasaje en mente”. A veces esas referencias son obvias. Por ejemplo, Pablo puede citar

Кажется, это уже где-то было (Иеремия 9:25-26)

August 23, 2022 by Ken Yates in Бесплатный дар благодати - Обрезание, Оправдание, Римлянам 2, Ритуалы
Когда я читаю Старый Завет, мне нравится видеть то, на что конкретно ссылаются авторы Нового Завета. Я читаю и говорю себе: “Это напоминает мне кое-что из того, что говорил Павел. Интересно, он думал об этом отрывке?” Иногда такие упоминания очевидны. Например, цитирование Павлом определённых стихов из Старого Завета даёт нам понять, что он он думал

Current Issues in Salvation, Part 1: Assurance As Degrees of Confidence, Not Certainty

August 23, 2022 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - John 11:25-27, what is assurance of salvation
Introduction The Evangelical world today is quite diverse on many issues, including the doctrine of salvation. There is much confusion about what a person must do to be saved. Pastors and theologians are not always theological safe spaces. Though well intentioned, they mislead many on a number of fundamental truths. There are many such issues.

Ist Johannes gescheitert?

August 22, 2022 by Shawn Lazar in Freie Gnade im Brennpunkt
Wenn Menschen die Behauptung hören, Johannes habe sein Evangelium mit evangelistischer Absicht geschrieben, sind sie oft überrascht, weil sie das noch nie gehört haben. Aber nachdem sie Johannes 20,30-31 gelesen haben, geben sie in der Regel zu, dass dies der Fall ist. Die Menschen werden jedoch sehr skeptisch, wenn man auf der Grundlage dieser Prämisse

Come potevano essere nati di nuovo gli Undici prima di aver ricevuto lo Spirito a Pentecoste?

August 22, 2022 by Bob Wilkin in Grazia Gratuita - Quando nacquero di nuovo le prime persone?
Recentemente ho scritto un articolo che discuteva di quando gli Undici discepoli fossero nati di nuovo. Vedi qui. Ho commentato che tre erano nati di nuovo all’inizio del ministero di Gesù in Giovanni 1. Un numero non specificato di discepoli credette alle nozze di Cana (Giovanni 2:11). Ma sappiamo che tutti erano nati di nuovo

The Darkness at the Cross: Part 3 (Mark 15:33) 

August 22, 2022 by Ken Yates in Blog - cross, Israel, Judgment, Kingdom, power of sin
In part 2 of this series, I discussed two popular ways of understanding the darkness at the cross of Christ. While there were some truths contained in those views, I think there is a better alternative. This alternative fits the context of Mark 15 better. There are two keys to adopting this view. The first
