Isn’t the Lord’s Redemption Paying for Our Sins?

November 6, 2025 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - agarazō, bought at a price
I recently wrote two blogs in which I suggested that Jesus did not pay the penalty for our sins. See here and here.   My point was that we still reap what we sow. If we rebel against the Lord, we find ourselves, like the prodigal son, in famine and in want.   However, Barbara, who understood and agreed with what

不止“显露“(林后5:10)

November 6, 2025 by Ken Yates in 聚焦恩典 - 基督的审判台, 奖赏, 约5:22
恩典派信徒最常引用的经文之一是哥林多后书5章1节,保罗在其中说到,所有信徒都必须显露在基督的审判台前。在那里,每一位信徒都将因善行而得赏赐,或因所行的不义而失去奖赏。 这节经文之所以深受“唯独恩典”信徒的喜爱,是可以理解的。它清楚地表明,我们的行为与得着永生无关;相反,我们的行为决定了在国度中所能得到的赏赐。这节经文成为激励人过敬虔生活的强大动力。 我常常引用这节经文。然而,最近我注意到其中有一个以前从未留意过的细节。原文中“显露”(appear)这个动词在希腊文里是被动语态(对于阅读这篇文章的语法爱好者来说,它是一个被动的不定式)。 当我们读到“我们都必须显露在基督的审判台前”时,大多数人理解为——我们必须站在祂面前,按着约定的时间接受祂的审判,这是我们无法逃避的会见。这也是《新钦定本圣经》(NKJV)翻译的方式。 然而,这个动词的被动语态在希腊文中有不同的含义。我查阅了几本希腊文词典(字典),发现这个被动语态表示“被揭示”或“被显明”的意思。有一本词典甚至解释说,它的意思是“被光照亮”。 这并不仅仅意味着信徒有一个必须履行的“会见”;也不仅仅表示我们必须出现在祂面前、无法逃避。那将是一个我们被显明的时刻——我们要面对一个问题:我们怎样使用了主赐给我们的生命,为祂而活? 在《启示录》第1章中,约翰看见主的异象,并描述了他所见的情景。其中一个描写是:主的眼睛如同火焰。在整本《启示录》中,耶稣被描绘为那位审判万人的审判者。《约翰福音》5章22节说:“父不审判什么人,乃将审判的事全交与子。” 这其中也包括基督在祂审判台前审判所有信徒的行为。祂那如火焰的眼目将显明一切。 因此,保罗在《哥林多后书》5章10中使用这个动词就十分合理了。若一切都不被显明,我们又怎能在基督的审判台前得赏赐呢?我们的善行将被显明,我们的恶行也将被显明。基督那如火焰的眼目必将一切照亮。 也许我们在翻译这节经文时,应该采取一种更“直译”的方式:“我们都必须在基督的审判台前被显明。” 继续用“会见”的比喻来说明——我们通常引用这节经文时,说“我们必须显露在基督的审判台前”,这听起来好像只是说我们必须出席这个会见。但如果按照被动语态来理解——“我们必须被显明”,那情形就不同了。就像一个学生不仅要按约定去见教授,还必须在见面时接受试。在那次口试中,他的知识会被显明出来,而那次考核将决定他在这门课程中所得的成绩。 这对于我们来说是一个极大的激励!如果主是完全公义的审判者,那么在那一天,祂必定要显明我们的思想、行为与动机——这是必然的。愿我们祈求主,使我们成为那种在祂显明一切的日子里,能荣耀祂的人。

Više od samog pojavljivanja (2. Korinćanima 5:10)

November 5, 2025 by Ken Yates in Milost u Fokusu - Bema, Ivan 5:22, nagrade
Jedan od stihova koje ljudi koji naglašavaju milost najčešće citiraju je 2. Korinćanima 5:10, u kojem Pavao kaže da se svi vjernici moraju pojaviti pred Kristovim sudom. Tamo će svaki vjernik ili biti nagrađen za dobra djela, ili će mu nagrade biti uskraćene zbog loših djela. Razumljivo je da je taj stih omiljen među ljudima

A Great Traffic Jam

November 5, 2025 by Ken Yates in Blog - evangelism, Grace, Repentance
Recently, I was traveling north through Kentucky on I-75. My GPS didn’t see it coming, but all of a sudden I found myself in a traffic jam. Nobody was able to move. The interstate was turned into a vast parking lot. After about twenty minutes, the GPS said, “Your route is no longer available.” I had never heard it say that before.   I didn’t know what caused the interstate closure.

Another Look at the Parable of the Wheat and the Tares, Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43

November 4, 2025 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - false Christians, False Professors, true Christians, True professors
This past Sunday I was sick with a bad cold, so I stayed home, drank plenty of liquids, and rested. At one point, I turned on a TV broadcast of a sermon by Greg Laurie. He began to discuss the wheat and the tares. He said that the wheat represented “true Christians” and the tares “false Christians.” Laurie believes in Lordship Salvation,
