每日金句
因为神并非不公义,竟忘记你们所做的工和你们为他名所显的爱心......
—来 6:10
God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him…
—Hebrews 6:10
许多人忧虑他们是否得救,他们怀疑自己是否真能知道自己在耶稣里有永恒的生命。
在这里希伯来书的作者提醒我们神的义。而这段话不是说我们得救的根基是我们的工作,相反地,我们所做的工和我们向神所显的爱心是我们得救后的结果,这结果是靠着住在我们里面的圣灵所成就的,都是因为耶稣基督已经完成的大功。
在马太福音7章,耶稣说好树结好果子。祂说,我们所做的工不能赚得我们的救恩,相反这是我们已经蒙恩得救并有耶稣住在我们里面的记号。同样的,雅各书二章十七节告诉我们,“信心若没有行为就是死的”。
你是否怀疑自己将会得救?记得希伯来书的作者所说的:“神并非不公义”。神看见并记得你所做的工和你向祂显出的爱心。如果你确信那永恒救恩的根源是耶稣基督,那么你的善行和爱心就是神透过你所做的工。
如果你怀疑你的作为是否足够,请记得救恩不是基于你的工作;救恩乃是基于耶稣所完成的工,祂是我们的大祭司。
Many people worry about whether or not they are saved. They wonder how they can know if they will actually have eternal life with Jesus.
The author of Hebrews reminds us here of God’s justice. And this passage is not saying that on the basis of our works we know we are saved. Rather, our work and the love that we have shown to God are the result of being saved already through the outpouring of his Spirit living in us—all because of the finished work of Jesus Christ.
Jesus assures us in Matthew 7 that a good tree can only bear good fruit. He’s saying that the work that we do is not earning our salvation; it is evidence that we are already saved and that Jesus is living in us. Likewise, James 2:17 tells us, “Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.”
Do you ever wonder whether you will be saved? Remember, as the author of Hebrews says, “God is not unjust.” God sees and will remember the work that you do and the love you have shown him. If you have trusted in the source of eternal salvation—that is, Jesus Christ—your good work and the love that you show are the works of God himself through you.
If you wonder whether your work is enough, remember that salvation is not based on your work. It is based on the finished work of Jesus, our great High Priest.
