第662本:《我能确定我得救了吗》书摘6则 Books Quotes from “Can I be sure I’m saved?”
1. 我们得救是唯独借着信心(Justified by faith alone),但不是借着一种单独存在的信心(by a faith that is alone)。P8
…. we are justified by faith alone, but not by a faith that is alone. P13.
2. 然而我们中没有人活出口头认信的全部所指,如果我们只讲焦点放在我们的行为表现上,真正的确据就会变得非常不稳固。P9.
If we focus attentions simply on our performance, authentic assurance becomes very slippery. P16
3. 如果我们讲确据建立在经历上,而非神的话语上,就是在天路之旅上招引各种怀疑和攻击。P15
If we rest our assurance on an experience and not on the Word of God, we’re inviting all kinds of doubts to assail us in our pilgrimages. P23
4. 第二个导致虚假确据的主要错谬是律法主义,就是对‘行为之义’的另一种指代。律法主义教导,想要上天堂,你必须遵守神的律法、过一个良善的生活。换句话说,你的好行为会把你送去天堂。P22
The second major error that leads to false assurance is legalism, which is another way of referring to ‘works righteousness’. Legalism teaches that to get to heaven, you must obey the law of God and live a good life. In another words, your good deeds will get you into heaven. P33
5. 在所谓的福音派世界,我们还有一些其他类型的虚假确据:做罪人的祷告,在福音布道会上举手,在讲台呼召时走到台前,或是决志跟随耶稣。P25
In the so-called evangelical world, we have a few other sources of false assurance: praying the sinner’s prayer, raising one’s hand at an evangelistic event, going forward during an altar call, or making a decision for Jesus.
6. “一个未重生之人有没有可能对基督有真正的爱?”。我的答案是否定的。对基督的爱是圣灵工作的结果,这也是重生的全部意义,正是圣灵使人心复苏时所作的事。P40
‘Is it possible for an unregenerated person to have any true affection for Christ?” My answer is no; affection for Christ is a result of the Spirit’s work. That is what regeneration is all about. P64.
