神是保守人,不让人犯罪的。所以,属他的,必备管教。你做小恶他就管教你了、让你在小恶的源头上,就不要犯罪。可见,神的选民,神保守。这话不错。
| 你们又忘了那劝你们如同劝儿子的话,说:我儿,你不可轻看主的管教,被他责备的时候,也不可灰心。
And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: | | | 因为主所爱的他必管教,又鞭打凡所收纳的儿子。
For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. | | | 你们所忍受的,是神管教你们,待你们如同待儿子。焉有儿子不被父亲管教的呢?
If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? |
| 管教原是众子所共受的,你们若不受管教,就是私子,不是儿子了。
But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. | | | 再者,我们曾有生身的父管教我们,我们尚且敬重他,何况万灵的父,我们岂不更当顺服他得生吗?
Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? | | | 生身的父都是暂随己意管教我们。惟有万灵的父管教我们,是要我们得益处,使我们在他的圣洁上有分。
For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. | | | 凡管教的事,当时不觉得快乐,凡觉得愁苦。后来却为那经练过的人,结出平安的果子,就是义。
Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. | | | 凡我所疼爱的,我就责备管教他。所以你要发热心,也要悔改。
As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. |
拣选的意义则是神不忍心一批人 堕落,他把他们选做自己的儿女,然后加倍的疼爱。
命令的 总归是爱。用爱心的原则去看问题。这也是整本圣经的总原则。用爱的原则去看问题。
遵循诫命不是靠自己去行律法主义。当你真的明白很的真道后,都不用特地去遵守律法。
因为你抓住了爱的原则,遵循这条命令准则去做事情的时候,自然就守住了全律法。
第一,尽心尽力尽心爱主你的上帝。
其次也相仿,就是要爱人如己。
到约翰福音里,就变成了“你们要彼此相爱”
| 我这样吩咐你们,是要叫你们彼此相爱。
These things I command you, that ye love one another. |
| 我们应当彼此相爱。这就是你们从起初所听见的命令。
For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. |
| 神的命令就是叫我们信他儿子耶稣基督的名,且照他所赐给我们的命令彼此相爱。
And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. | | | 亲爱的弟兄啊,我们应当彼此相爱。因为爱是从神来的。凡有爱心的,都是由神而生,并且认识神。
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. | | | 亲爱的弟兄啊,神既是这样爱我们,我们也当彼此相爱。
Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. | | | 从来没有人见过神。我们若彼此相爱,神就住在我们里面,爱他的心在我们里面得以完全了。
No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. | | | 太太啊,我现在劝你,我们大家要彼此相爱。这并不是我写一条新命令给你,乃是我们从起初所受的命令。
And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another. |
真信心是神给的。不是自己自以为有就有的。这种信心是让人活着的力量。
灵性能够生长。没有这种力量的引导。如何长?
难道像卖主犹大那样,金钱的诱惑导致他一直陪伴着耶稣?这使他跟随主吗?
又或者说,是私欲引诱。有人会说,我信耶稣是因为我想得到永生。
但永生不是人信主的目的。而应该是信主的结果。
有人会用各种私欲引诱人去信耶稣。比如信耶稣发财,保平安。顺利等等。人不顺利需要转运,就跑来信耶稣了。结果发现信耶稣后,生活越来越好了。他就觉得耶稣是真神。就更加拼命的相信。然后,特别沉迷于信主。但凡要削减自己的,就不听。要听对自己加增,财富增多的,他才听。至始至终都不明白真道。因为他和犹大一样。只要自己加增。但神的道,是“施比受更为有福”的舍己爱人之道。所以他们听不懂。他们只挑选对自己有用的那些来听。
我们高举十字架,是高举十字架的耶稣。要舍己的道。
但他们则觉得,高举十字架,是高举保佑自己来讲的。信的是一个菩萨式的信仰。
保佑自己,祝福自己。自己发财,自己顺利的“成功神学”高举己的套路模版。(人本信仰)
这和“归正神学”的高举神,原则路线不同。(神本信仰)
