为什么基督的应许是我们救恩的关键?

耶稣不仅需要处于正确的位格和做正确的工作,来让我们得救,而且祂也必须做正确的应许。没有永生的应许,没有人可以得救。 为什么基督的应许是得救的关键?因为永生的应许是祂说过的我们要重生必须相信的两件事之一。(约4:10) 祂在这些经文中说过这个应许,像约3:16; 4:1-14; 5:24; 6:47; 11:26; 启 22:17。 在新约中,这一应许被称为“生命的应许”(提后1:1;还有加3:21;多1:2)或者是“生命的道”(徒5:20;腓2:16;还有约一1:1)。 这个应许在旧约中也可以看到,从创3:15开始持续到创15:6。主耶稣说过,旧约宣称信祂的人有永生(约5:39-40)。《希伯来书》11章给出了很多例子,说明了旧约中信耶稣的人有永恒的命定。也可以见约8:56。 有些人认为不需要相信基督的应许就可以重生。他们认为信基督的位格和祂的工作就足够了。 约翰·派伯(John Piper)在他的书《称义的未来:答N.T.赖特(暂译)》(The Future of Justification: A Response to N. T. Wright)中有问这个问题“我们不是借着信称义而被称义的吗?”i他援引赖特(Wright)的话,“我们不是借着因信称义而因着信心被称义的。我们因着信心被称义是凭借着相信福音本身——换句话说,耶稣是主,神使祂从死里复活。”ii派伯继续说道, 这听起来是对的。当然,我们不是因着教义而得救的。我们因着基督而得救。但是,这是有误导的,因着它没有定义什么是“信福音”。信福音为了什么?为了成功?为了得医治?有新的工作?…我们一定要宣布出来为什么死和复活对他们是好消息(斜体是派伯自己加的)。iii 如果有人不相信耶稣对不可撤销的称义/救恩的承诺,那么他还没有相信约3:16的信息或《圣经》中的许多其他段落。主在这点上很明确,凡信他的,必不灭亡,在灵里永远不死,永远不被赶出,永远 会从他手里被拔出,永远 会为永生而饥渴。 主在井边告诉那妇人,她需要相信两件事:神的恩赐和赐恩赐的人(约4:10)。祂继续说,上帝的恩赐(礼物)是永生,不能失去(约4:14),祂,给予者,是弥赛亚(约4:25-26)。人若不信主耶稣基督所应许的神的恩赐,他就还没有喝过这活水。 假设,主可能没有传福音给任何人。祂本可以委托使徒和后来的信徒传讲永生的应许。但父给祂的任务之一是祂传讲永生的应许(约5:24;6:35-40)。祂成为了祂希望跟随者去传福音的一个榜样。 使徒不是教会的头,主耶稣才是。作为头,祂就是永生(约14:6;约一5:20);他完美地活出了那种生命;祂给我们生命的应许,就是祂可以把永生给别人,这是所有信徒都要宣扬的;祂为我们的罪死在十字架上;并且祂身体从死里复活了。 […]
