It is quite common in Christianity to refer to angels as spirit beings. That is probably because of verses like Heb 1:7 “Who makes His angels spirits…,” Heb 1:14, “Are […]

永生在什么意义上是神的恩赐

在《以弗所书》2:8-9中,保罗说永生是“神所赐的礼物”。不过,当我这么说时,有些人会反对,因为保罗实际上说的是“救恩”是神的恩赐:“你们得救是本乎恩,也因着信……这并不是出于自己,乃是神所赐;也不是出于行为……”。但就在前面三节的《以弗所书》2:5中,保罗已经清楚地表明,“本乎恩,也因着信”的救恩指的是灵命的复苏,也就是“叫我们与基督一同活过来”。 在《约翰福音》4:10中,主耶稣也谈到了“神的恩赐”。在第14节中,祂清楚地表明,这“神的恩赐”就是永生。 永生是礼物。但这是有条件的。为了领受这个礼物,我们必须信靠主耶稣基督,信祂所赐的生命(见约3:16;4:10-26;5:24;6:35, 37, 39, 47;11:25-27;20:31)。 那这份礼物对领受的人来说是不是免费的?是的。参见《启示录》21:6和22:17。生命的水是白白赐给一切愿意接受的人。 “代价”和“条件”是两个不同的概念。某样东西可以在有条件的前提下被白白赐予,也就是说,对接受者来说没有代价。永生就是这样。主耶稣基督为这份礼物付上了完全的代价。 但这份礼物并不是赐给所有人的。它是赐给那些信靠主耶稣基督的人。 《雅各书》1:17-18也称永生为神的恩赐,是借着相信关于这生命的“真道”而得的。 许多人理解这份礼物是有条件的,但却误解了这个“条件”。 有人说条件是真信心,他们的解释是要悔改离罪、完全降服,并一生委身事奉神。不是的。条件是信基督。 有人说条件是接受基督,也就是“邀请祂进入你的生命”。不是的。条件是信基督。 有人说条件是承认基督,就是“走到台前公开宣告”。不是的。条件是信基督。 有人说条件是受洗,即在水中受浸。不是的。条件是信基督。 永生是神的恩赐。这确实是好消息(见加1:6-9;2:16)。但你必须确定你是否满足了那个条件。条件很简单:耶稣应许凡信靠祂得永生的人,必得着这生命。没有附加条件。一旦你信了祂,你就永远得着保障。永生的确是“永远的生命”。 对你的永恒归宿要有确据,这样你就能持续以恩典为中心。 ___ 鲍勃·威尔金(Bob Wilkin)(达拉斯神学院神学硕士,博士)恩典福音派协会(Grace Evangelical Society)创始人及执行主任,聚焦恩典电台(Grace in Focus Radio)联合主持人。他同妻子莎伦(Sharon)住在德州高地村(Highland Village, TX)。鲍勃最新的书有《在一百节经文中的“单凭信心”(暂译)》(Faith Alone in One […]

Plaća grijeha

Pažljivi učitelji Božje riječi su mi ukazali na pogubne posljedice grijeha. Većina evanđeoskih kršćana kaže da grijesi šalju osobu u ognjeno jezero. To nije istina. Osoba koja završi u ognjenom […]
