Is it easier for New Testament believers to please God

Ron asks a great question: Has not fruitfulness, in any and all ages, been caused and enabled by the Holy Spirit, even if He did not permanently indwell all believers before the church age? In any age, if Joe Believer (not big names like Noah, Moses, and Daniel) sought to walk with God, didn’t the […]

为什么我们要把基督台前的审判(‘贝玛’Bema)告知每个人

我领导 GES 近四十年了。在每年的夏季董事会上,董事会都会对我进行评估。为了迎接这一评判,我必须每天忠于职守。 如果我忽视了对自己的评价,我就会懈怠。这是人之常情。但如果我专注于我的评估,我就会加倍努力。 贝玛就是这样。主已经告诉了我们很多关于我们今生结束后将面临的考试的信息。我们要每天为它做准备。通过每日的忠心,我们就能很好地听到主说:“好,又良善又忠心的仆人,做得好”。 我想,你之所以读这篇文章,是因为你已经有了为基督而活的强烈动机,而你的动机之一就是 “末日审判”。你渴望听到 “做得好,又良善又忠心的仆人”。你渴望在来生与基督一同掌权。 我想谈谈我们对信仰中关于贝玛一个经常被忽视的应用。我们不仅要警醒祂很快再来和贝玛,而且还要教导他人这一至关重要的真理。 如果你不告诉你的家人和朋友我们即将举行的贝玛大考,你就会让他们对即将发生的事情毫无准备。 主耶稣命令我们将祂所吩咐的教导他人(马太福音 28:18-20)。祂命令我们把心放在天上的财宝上(《马太福音》6:19-21)。祂用许多比喻说明了儆醒等候祂的再来和随后的贝玛的重要性(如《马太福音》24:25-51;25:14-30;《路加福音》19:11-27)。 使徒保罗向所有信徒传讲了有关贝玛的信息(林前 3:5-15;4:1-5;9:24-27;林后 5:9-10;加 6:7-9;腓 3:14;4:17;提后 1:12;4:6-8)。 主和祂的使徒警告过不忠心的信徒在贝玛的负面后果(太24:48-51;25:24-28;路 19:20-26;林前 15:2;加 6:8;西 1:21-23;雅 2:13;3:1;5:7;约一 2:28;启 2-3)。 尽管没有任何经文命令我们向不信的人宣讲,我们也应该告诉不信的家人和朋友有关贝玛的事。 主在与不信的青年财主交谈时提到了贝玛。他向他许诺,如果他变卖所有的东西分给穷人,就会有财宝在天上(路加福音 18:22)。这个年轻人问的不是天上的财宝。他问的是继承永生的问题,他的意思是:”我必须做什么才能得到永生?(马太福音 19:16)。耶稣想让这个不信的年轻人知道,如果他相信耶稣,他就会得到永恒的保障;如果他跟随耶稣,他就会得到永恒的奖赏。 我们受命教导我们的孩子,即使他们还没有为了永生而信基督,我们也有理由向他们传授有关贝玛的知识。 鲍勃·布莱恩特(Bob Bryant)牧师在一次演讲中说,当他向人们传福音时,他会向他们讲述贝玛,因为他发现这能帮助他们理解上帝是如何无条件地赐予永生的,与此同时–无论是在今生还是在今生之后–上帝能够而且确实让信徒为自己的行为负责。 这并不是说,非信徒必须了解贝玛,才能相信《约翰福音》 3:16 的简单信息。然而,了解贝玛可以让他们朝着这个方向前进。 我曾听赞恩·霍奇斯(Zane Hodges)说过,《新约》圣经中几乎每一页都涉及贝玛和永恒奖赏的教义。如果他是对的——我相信他是对的,那么我们就需要向我们的家人和朋友解释有关贝玛的经文,以便他们为我们即将到来的审判做好充分准备。 我无法准确地告诉你主耶稣何时会再来提我们归祂。但我可以告诉你,祂很快就会再来,当祂再来时,祂将在基督的审判台上审判我们。 多给谁,就要求谁多给。主希望你把贝玛审判的消息告诉你的家人和朋友。不要让他们对人生中最重要的考试准备不足。 那场考试将不同于大学考试。它就像工作中的年度绩效考核。提前准备的唯一方法就是每天忠心地为主服务。 虽然永生是我们因信基督而得到的礼物,与行为无关(约3:16;6:28-29;弗2:8-9),但我们要为自己的生活方式负责。主命令我们为贝玛做好准备,每天关注贝玛。我们要与家人和朋友分享这一命令。正如我们要分享永生的信息一样,我们也要分享责任和永恒奖赏的信息。 关注恩典 ___ 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 […]

В первых рядах (Луки 6

В Луки 6:20 Господь начинает Свою равнинную проповедь, темой которой выступает ученичество. Эта проповедь не носит евангелистический характер. Можно утверждать, что её цель инструктировать верующих относительно того, как стать великим в царстве Христа. Те, кто станет великим в Его царстве, будет ближе к Нему в вечности. Эти люди будут также ближе к Нему и в […]

_Is our hermeneutic really that important

One of the characteristics of dispensationalism is that it makes a distinction between Israel and the Church. When you discuss such issues, it is common to hear people say that it is no big deal. We shouldn’t get bent out of shape over such things. There have been a lot of godly men and women […]

Sentados en la primera fila (Lucas 6

En Lucas 6:20, el Señor comienza el Sermón del Llano, un mensaje que trata sobre el discipulado. No es un mensaje evangelístico. Podríamos decir que instruye a los creyentes sobre cómo ser grandes en el reino de Cristo. Aquellos que son grandes en Su reino estarán más cerca de Él en ese día. También son […]

October 15, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Milost u Fokusu - Kristov sud
Zašto bismo svima trebali reći o Bemi?

Vodim GES gotovo četrdeset godina. Na našim ljetnim sastancima uprave, svake godine upravni odbor ocjenjuje moj rad. Da bih se pripremio za taj sud, moram svakodnevno vjerno obavljati svoj posao. Ako zaboravim na svoju ocjenu, popustit ću u svojim naporima. To je ljudska priroda. Ali ako se fokusiram na ocjenu, udvostručit ću svoje napore. Bema […]

Seduti in prima fila (Luca 6

In Luca 6:20, il Signore esordisce con il Sermone della Pianura, un messaggio che parla di discepolato; non si tratta, pertanto, di un messaggio evangelistico. Potremmo dire che fornisce delle istruzioni ai credenti su come eccellere nel regno di Cristo. Coloro che saranno grandi nel Suo regno, avranno più intimità con il Signore quel giorno. […]

How could Paul say such a thing when he wrote repeatedly that no one can be justified by the works of the law

“[I was a Pharisee]; concerning zeal, persecuting the church; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, blameless” (Phil 3:6). During a Zoom class on soteriology, the doctrine of salvation, a student asked me about Phil 3:6. Was Paul really blameless before God before he was born again? The word translated blameless is amemtos. It […]

De ce trebuie să vorbim tuturor despre Scaunul de judecată al lui Hristos?

Sunt la conducerea GES de aproape patruzeci de ani. La reuniunea noastră anuală de vară, consiliul mă evaluează. Pentru a mă pregăti pentru evaluare, trebuie să îmi fac treaba cu dedicare în fiecare zi. Dacă pierd din vedere această evaluare, nu mă voi strădui la fel de mult. Aceasta este firea omenească. Dar dacă mă […]
