Perché la parola “giorno” è fondamentale per comprendere la storia umana?

Innanzitutto, la parola giorno è fondamentale per comprendere l’inizio della storia. Genesi 1 parla dei sei giorni della creazione e del settimo giorno di riposo. L’idea del riposo sabbatico dell’AT […]

永生的保证是经验而非信仰问题吗?

一位朋友给我发了一本杂志的电子版。其中一篇关于“救恩的确信”的文章给我留下了深刻的印象。 在文章中,作者说:“确信不仅仅是一个需要理解的神学真理。它是一种体验,而不仅仅是神学上的证明。”i 一个人如何经历 确信,尤其是当确信不仅仅是 “神学上证明 ”的东西时? 这篇文章的作者继续作了如下解释, 作为一名牧师,我的门徒中经常有人告诉我,他们相信(理智上)《圣经》教导 “一次得救,永远得救”,但由于他们的挣扎(以及不良教导带来的情绪),他们仍在质疑自己的救恩。我们回顾福音。他们相信福音。他们相信永恒的保障。我可以告诉他们,他们应该相信耶稣已经完成的工作。但可悲的事实是,他们并没有体验到这种保障。这是多么大的损失啊!ii 有人在理智上相信《圣经》教导永恒的保障,但却不相信自己有永恒的保障,这种说法令人困惑。 作者并没有解释什么是 “不良的教导 ”让这个人无法 “经历保障”。 让我从几个方面来说明,一个人可能相信永恒的保障,但却不确定自己是否有保障。 首先,一个人可能相信选民有永恒的保障,但他不可能确定自己是选民之一。大多数加尔文主义者都面临着这样两难的选择。 其次,一个人可能会认为,虽然他目前是上帝的孩子,但如果他离弃了上帝,他就会失去这个身份。根据这种观点,这个人认为他现在得救了,但不是永远得救。大多数阿民念主义者都会面临这样的困境。 第三,一个人可能知道信耶稣的人彻底地得救了,但他们不知道信耶稣意味着什么。他们可能认为信耶稣包括降服、委身、悔改和顺服。由于这些事情都是主观的,所以这类人并不确定他们是否相信耶稣。 在文章的前面部分,作者说 “确信是得救信心的本质 ”的教导会导致一些人失去救恩的确信。我发现事实恰恰相反。通过向人们指出《约翰福音》 3:16或类似的经文,教导人们确信是得救信心的本质,我们可以帮助人们确信他们永远不会灭亡,反而会获得永生。只有作者所说的 “不良的教导 ” 才会让人对《约翰福音》 3:16的解释感到困扰。 确信是客观的。我们知道我们永远是安全的,因为我们相信耶稣关于永生的应许,就像《约翰福音》 3:16中的经文一样。 我们永恒命运的确定性取决于我们的信仰,而不是我们的经历。我们的经历是主观的,随时都在变化,而上帝的真理是客观的,亘古不变。 持续关注恩典。 […]
