本乎恩因着信的福音 (6)

神与人打交道的基本规则

神與人的關係只通過耶穌基督，基於基督的信心及基督徒所領受的（從神和基督而來的）信心，而不是他們的行為。 God establishes relationship to and interacts with man through Jesus Christ, according to the faith of Christ and the faith of Christians that is received from God and Christ, not according to their works.

本乎恩因着信的福音（ 6 ）

真信心必然帶來基督徒行為上的好果子。如上所述，這些果子是信心自然的結果，不是出於人的努力。 True faith, however, brings good fruit to a Christian’s life naturally. As mentioned above, godly good fruit cannot be produced by human effort.


救恩只通过耶稣

约 14:6 耶穌說我就是道路、真理、生命；若不藉著我，沒有人能到父那裡去。 John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.


提前 2:5 因為只有一位神，在神和人中間，只有一位中保，乃是降世為人的基督耶穌。 1Tim 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.


按理我们不应该在这方面出错

神對人類的救恩已經完全做成，借著基督在律法之下出生、成長、遵行律法的一切誡命，在十字架上的死，死裡復活，及升天成為大祭司代表信他的人坐在神的右邊。 God has completed salvation for mankind through Christ's birth under the Law, growing up as a man, obeying everything required of the Law, dying on the cross, resurrection, ascension into heaven, and sitting on the right hand of God as the high priest on behalf of those who believe in Him.


這個救恩的中心目的就是要人通過基督而有神的形象和樣式，活出神兒子的生命來榮耀祂。 The central purpose of this salvation is for man to receive God’s image and likeness through Christ and, as a result, to live the life of the Son of God to glorify the Father.


個人進入此救恩必須通過聖靈的光照啟示，也因著人願意完全放棄在亞當里墮落的、以自我為中心的生命，通過內心領受神的話語（福音）而重生。 To receive such salvation, man has to be enlightened by the Holy Spirit; he/she also must be willing to forsake the fallen, self-centered adamic life. Spiritual regeneration or rebirth happens when a person (who is willing to forsake the adamic life) receives God’s Word (i.e., the Gospel) by heart (not just intellectually).


真正重生的人必然不願犯罪，反而羡慕神的生命、話語。 A born-again Christian does not desire (like) to live a sinful life but instead a life filled with God’s Word and Spirit.


重生時内裏的生命（重生的靈）完全更新，與主合一，擁有復活的基督完全的生命、能力， When a Christian is born again, his/her inner life (i.e., the born-again spirit) is completely renewed. The born-again spirit is one with Christ and has the perfect life and power of the resurrected Christ.


因著基督徒與基督聯合同為神的後嗣，神在基督里已經賜給他們一切恩典。 Because Christians are joint-heirs with Christ, God has bestowed on them every spiritual blessing,


（就是屬靈的福氣，包括公義、祝福、圣洁、属神的性情、天父无条件的接纳、医治、智慧、能力等等）。(i.e., grace, including righteousness from God, all blessings, holiness, godly nature, unconditional love and acceptance of God, healing, wisdom, power, etc.)


真信心是從神及耶穌基督而來，通過人領受聖靈的啟示從內心（而不只是頭腦）接受、明白神的話而獲得。True faith comes from God and Jesus Christ and is received by the human heart (not by the head intellectually) when a person receives revelation of the Word of God by the Holy Spirit.


真信心不是人意志力的產物，而是聖靈在人心超自然的工作。 True faith is not a product of human will power but supernatural work of the Holy Spirit in the human heart.


基督徒必須用神所賜的信心才能領受、經歷恩典。真信心必然在人的思想、言行、生活方面帶出神話語應許的果子，這些果子不是天然人可以做到的。 Only by God-given faith can a Christian receive and experience God’s grace. True faith will produce fruit promised by God’s Word in a person’s thoughts, words, deeds, and external life. Such fruit cannot be produced by human effort.


人要解決生活、行為上罪和死帶來的問題，不能憑藉天然人出於自我的努力，而需要尋求聖靈啟示神的話語、以至於內心屬世、屬肉體的思想、觀念、價值體系被神更新。 The sin-and-death problems in a Christian’s life cannot be overcome by the works or efforts of natural man. Instead, such “bad fruit” is eradicated when a person receives the Holy Spirit-revealed Word of God to replace the worldly and carnal thoughts, attitudes, and value systems in the person’s heart.


耶稣基督的真理= 恩典的道路

弗 2:8-9 你們得救是本乎恩，也因著信；這並不是出於自己，乃是神所賜的；也不是出於行為，免得有人自誇。 Eph 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.


羅 11:6 既是出於恩典，就不在乎行為；不然，恩典就不是恩典了。Rom 11:6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.


提后 1:9 神救了我們，以聖召召我們，不是按我們的行為，乃是按他的旨意和恩典；這恩典是萬古之先，在基督耶穌裡賜給我們的， 2Tim 1:9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began.


基督徒要不要遵行神的律法，要不要有好行为？

罗 12:11-12 殷勤不可懒惰。要心里火热，常常服事主。在指望中要喜乐，在患难中要忍耐，祷告要恒切。 Rom 12:11-12 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;


太 5:15-16 人点灯，不放在斗底下，是放在灯臺上，就照亮一家的人。你们的光也当这样照在人前，叫他们看见你们的好行为，便将荣耀归给你们在天上的父。 Mat 5:15-16 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.


彼前 2:12 你们在外邦人中，应当品行端正，叫那些毁谤你们是作恶的，因看见你们的好行为，便在鉴察（或作：眷顾）的日子归荣耀给神。 1Pet 2:12 Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.


雅 2:24 这样看来，人称义是因着行为，不是单因着信。 Jas 2:24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.


圣经自相矛盾吗？问题出在哪里？

问题是人以为靠自己可以有“好行为”

罗 7:18 我也知道在我里头，就是我肉体之中，没有良善。因为，立志为善由得我，只是行出来由不得我。 Rom 7:18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.


肉体 = 堕落的亚当里生出来的天然人（魂及身体），尤其是其天然的心思、性情、态度、及一切生活方式。灵里与神断绝，“活” 在死里。特点是为自己、靠自己、荣耀自己。生活方式是用感官來从物质世界获取取满足。在里面沒有良善，沒有信心，也无法明白神圣灵的事，思想及行为都與神的原则相反。

赛 64:6 我们都象不洁净的人；所有的义都象污秽的衣服。我们都象叶子渐渐枯乾；我们的罪孽好象风把我们吹去。 Isa 64:6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.


加 3:3-4 你们既靠圣灵入门，如今还靠肉身成全么？你们是这样的无知么？你们受苦如此之多，都是徒然的么？难道果真是徒然的么？ Gal 3:3-4 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain.


加 3:23-25 但這因信得救的理還未來以先，我們被看守在律法之下，直圈到那將來的真道顯明出來。 Gal 3:23-25 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.


這樣，律法是我們訓蒙的師傅，引我們到基督那裡，使我們因信稱義。但這因信得救的理既然來到，我們從此就不在師傅的手下了。 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.


雅 2:17 這樣，信心若沒有行為就是死的。（注：雅各不是要人依靠行為或用行為說服自己有信心，他是指出這些人沒有行為的原因是沒有真信心） Jas 2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. (Note: James was not asking Christians to rely on their works or use their works to convince themselves of their faith. Instead, he was pointing out that the reason why those people lacked good deeds was that they did not truly believe.)


耶稣基督的真理 = 因信成义的道路

羅 3:22-23 就是神的義，因信耶穌基督加給一切相信的人，並沒有分別。因為世人都犯了罪，虧缺了神的榮耀。Rom 3:22-23 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.


加 2:16 既知道人稱義不是因行律法，乃是因信耶穌基督，連我們也信了基督耶穌，使我們因信基督稱義，不因行律法稱義；因為凡有血氣的，沒有一人因行律法稱義。 Gal 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.


腓 3:9 並且得以在他裡面，不是有自己因律法而得的義，乃是有信基督的義，就是因信神而來的義。 Phil 3:9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith.


罗 5:1-2 我們既因信稱義，就藉著我們的主耶穌基督得與神相和。我們又藉著他，因信得進入現在所站的這恩典中，並且歡歡喜喜盼望神的榮耀。 Rom 5:1-2 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.


来 11:6 人非有信，就不能得神的喜悅；因為到神面前來的人必須信有神，且信他賞賜那尋求他的人。Heb 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.


来 10:38 只是義人必因信得生。他若退後，我心裡就不喜歡他。 Heb 10:38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.


罗 14:23 若有疑心而吃的，就必有罪，因為他吃不是出於信心。凡不出於信心的都是罪。 Rom 14:23 And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
