Hace unos años tuve la oportunidad de enseñar un curso de soteriología (doctrina de la salvación) en Zambia. Durante una de las discusiones, descubrí que la definición de pecador que manejaban los estudiantes estaba generando cierta confusión. La mayoría de ellos venía de una perspectiva arminiana, lo que significa que creían que se podía perder […]
Ilang taon na ang nakalipas, nagkaroon ako ng oportunidad na magturo ng isang kurso sa soteriolohiya (doktrina ng kaligtasan) sa Zambia. Sa isa sa mga talakayan, nalaman kong ang depenisyon ng mga estudyante ng makasalanan ay nagdudulot ng kalituhan. Karamihan sa mga estudyante ay mula sa perspektibong Arminiano, na nangangahulugang naniniwala silang naiwawala ang kaligtasan […]
Qualche anno fa ho avuto l’opportunità di tenere un corso di soteriologia (dottrina della salvezza) in Zambia. Durante una delle discussioni, ho scoperto che la definizione di peccatore data dagli studenti causava una certa confusione. La maggior parte di loro proveniva da una prospettiva arminiana, il che significa che credevano di perdere la salvezza se […]
One of the verses most commonly quoted by grace people is 2 Cor 5:10, in which Paul says that all believers must appear before the Judgment Seat of Christ. There, each believer will either be rewarded for good works or have those rewards withheld because of bad works. It is understandable that this verse is […]
În Efeseni 2:8-9, Pavel spune că viața veșnică este „darul lui Dumnezeu”. Totuși, unii nu sunt de acord când afirm acest lucru, pentru că, în realitate, Pavel spune că mântuirea este darul lui Dumnezeu („Căci prin har aţi fost mântuiţi, prin credinţă. Şi aceasta nu vine de la voi, ci este darul lui Dumnezeu. 9 […]
Kaznodzieje często mówią o tym, ile dusz zostało zbawionych podczas ostatniego spotkania ewangelizacyjnego. Czy to jest prawidłowe? Czy Biblia mówi o odrodzeniu jako o zbawieniu duszy? Słowo dusza, greckie słowo psyche, jest podstawą wielu słów w języku polskim: psychologia, psychiatria, psychika, psychosomatyczny, psychoterapia, psychotyczny itp. Psyche występuje 105 razy w Nowym Testamencie, co czyni je […]
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 they [angels] not all ministering spirits…,” and Eph 6:12, “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against…spiritual hosts of wickedness in the […]
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 Hundred Verses)和《回转来活:悔改的力量(暂译)》(Turn and Live: The Power of Repentance)。
The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever. I have often said that all unbelievers will be judged at the Great White Throne Judgment, which takes place after the Millennium […]
In 2 Pet 1:10-11, Peter states: Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The abundant entrance is a reward for […]
