信实

马太福音9:20-22‘有一个女人_、患了十二年的血漏_、来到耶稣背后_、摸他的衣裳繸子_． 因为他心里说_、我只摸他的衣裳_、就必痊愈_。 耶稣转过来看见他_、就说_、女儿_、放心_、你的信实救了你¹_．从那时候_、女人就痊愈了_。’

 

圣经里的信实指的是什么? 当耶稣说‘女儿_、放心_、你的信实救了你’又是什么意思呢?

 

信实就是他的大能:根据歌罗西书2:12‘你们既受洗与他一同埋葬_、也藉着信实与他一同复活_、这信实_、就是那叫他从死里复活　神运行的大能²_。’信实就是神的大能.这大能曾叫耶稣从死里复活.如今也能叫我们一切凡信他与他同死的从死里复活.所以简单地说,信实就是神死里复活的大能.

 

信实就是他的工作:以弗所书2:8-10‘你们得救是本乎恩_、也因着基督的信实_、这并不是出于自己_、乃是　神所赐的³_．也不是出于行为_、免得有人自夸_。 我们原是他的工作_、在基督耶稣里造成的_、为要叫我们行善_、就是　神所豫备叫我们行的_。’这段圣经强调我们得救‘不是出于[人的]行为(功劳)_、免得有人自夸_。’而是‘是他的工作(功劳)’他的工作所赚得的工价(功劳)替我们偿还了罪债.他的工作就是在提多书2:14所说的‘他为我们舍了自己_、要赎我们脱离一切罪恶_、又洁净我们_、特作自己的子民_、热心为善_。’这也就是为什么在加拉太书2:16所说‘既知道人称义_、不是因律法的功⁴_、乃是因耶稣基督的信实⁵_、连我们也信了基督耶稣_、使我们因基督的信实⁶称义_、不因律法的功称义_．因为凡有血气的_、没有一人因律法的功称义_。’这节经文告诉我们这个真理:一个罪人(天国的穷人)变成义人(天国的富人)不是藉着人的工价(功劳),世人都犯了罪(罗马书3:23),不管我们多么努力工作,我们所做的尽都是恶,因为我们终日所思想的尽都是恶(创世记6:5),所以我们(罪)的工价就是死(罗马书6:23).但藉着耶稣基督的工作,就可以让一个罪人(天国的穷人)变成义人(天国的富人).因为耶稣是唯一无罪的(哥林多后书5:21),他的工价就是义就是永生.他的工作确实好:‘因我们还软弱不敬虔的时候_、基督就按所定的日期为我们死_。⁷ 为义人死_、是少有的_、为仁人死_、或者有敢作的_。 惟有基督在我们还作罪人的时候为我们死、　神的爱就在此向我们显明了。’(罗马书5:6)

 

信实就是他自己:以赛亚书65:16‘这样_、在地上为自己求福的_、必凭阿们⁸的　神求福_．在地上起誓的_、必指阿们的　神起誓_．因为从前的患难已经忘记_、也从我眼前隐藏了_。’希伯来文‘阿们’就是真理和信实的意思.所以‘阿们的神’就是‘信实的神’.因此在启示录3:14,耶稣自称其名为阿们,也就是称自己的名为信实.‘…那为阿们的_、为信实的和真实的见证人⁹_、在　神创造万物之上为元首的…’

 

亲爱的弟兄姊妹们,下次当我们听到耶稣说‘你的信实救了你’,现在我们晓得了,其实他在说:你的耶稣救了你,他为你舍命,他复活的大能已经覆庇你,他要救你脱离死亡.我的救赎主阿,我的神,我要在你的信实里称谢你,阿们.

 

 

信實

馬太福音9:20-22『有一個女人_、患了十二年的血漏_、來到耶穌背後_、摸他的衣裳繸子_． 因為他心裡說_、我只摸他的衣裳_、就必痊癒_。 耶穌轉過來看見他_、就說_、女兒_、放心_、你的信實救了你¹_．從那時候_、女人就痊癒了_。』

 

聖經裡的信實指的是什麼? 當耶穌說『女兒_、放心_、你的信實救了你』又是什麼意思呢?

 

信實就是他的大能:根據歌羅西書2:12『你們既受洗與他一同埋葬_、也藉著信實與他一同復活_、這信實_、就是那叫他從死裡復活　神運行的大能²_。』信實就是神的大能.這大能曾叫耶穌從死裡復活.如今也能叫我們一切凡信他與他同死的從死裡復活.所以簡單地說,信實就是神死裡復活的大能.

 

信實就是他的工作:以弗所書2:8-10『你們得救是本乎恩_、也因著基督的信實_、這並不是出於自己_、乃是　神所賜的³_．也不是出於行為_、免得有人自誇_。 我們原是他的工作_、在基督耶穌裡造成的_、為要叫我們行善_、就是　神所豫備叫我們行的_。』這段聖經強調我們得救『不是出於[人的]行為(功勞)_、免得有人自誇_。』而是『是他的工作(功勞)』他的工作所賺得的工價(功勞)替我們償還了罪債.他的工作就是在提多書2:14所說的『他為我們捨了自己_、要贖我們脫離一切罪惡_、又潔淨我們_、特作自己的子民_、熱心為善_。』這也就是為什麼在加拉太書2:16所說『既知道人稱義_、不是因律法的功⁴_、乃是因耶穌基督的信實⁵_、連我們也信了基督耶穌_、使我們因基督的信實⁶稱義_、不因律法的功稱義_．因為凡有血氣的_、沒有一人因律法的功稱義_。』這節經文告訴我們這個真理:一個罪人(天國的窮人)變成義人(天國的富人)不是藉著人的工價(功勞),世人都犯了罪(羅馬書3:23),不管我們多麼努力工作,我們所做的盡都是惡,因為我們終日所思想的盡都是惡(創世記6:5),所以我們(罪)的工價就是死(羅馬書6:23).但藉著耶穌基督的工作,就可以讓一個罪人(天國的窮人)變成義人(天國的富人).因為耶穌是唯一無罪的(哥林多後書5:21),他的工價就是義就是永生.他的工作確實好:『因我們還軟弱不敬虔的時候_、基督就按所定的日期為我們死_。⁷ 為義人死_、是少有的_、為仁人死_、或者有敢作的_。 惟有基督在我們還作罪人的時候為我們死、　神的愛就在此向我們顯明了。』(羅馬書5:6)

 

信實就是他自己:以賽亞書65:16『這樣_、在地上為自己求福的_、必憑阿們⁸的　神求福_．在地上起誓的_、必指阿們的　神起誓_．因為從前的患難已經忘記_、也從我眼前隱藏了_。』希伯來文『阿們』就是真理和信實的意思.所以『阿們的神』就是『信實的神』.因此在啟示錄3:14,耶穌自稱其名為阿們,也就是稱自己的名為信實.『…那為阿們的_、為信實的和真實的見證人⁹_、在　神創造萬物之上為元首的…』

 

親愛的弟兄姊妹們,下次當我們聽到耶穌說『你的信實救了你』,現在我們曉得了,其實他在說:你的耶穌救了你,他為你捨命,他復活的大能已經覆庇你,他要救你脫離死亡.我的救贖主阿,我的神,我要在你的信實裡稱謝你,阿們.

 

 

Faith

Mat 9:20-22 Just then a woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak. She said to herself, "If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed." Jesus turned and saw her. "Take heart, daughter," he said, "your faith has healed you." And the woman was healed from that moment.

 

What is the faith preached in the Bible? What does it mean when Jesus said “your faith has healed you”?

 

Faith is his power: According to Col 2:12 “Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with [him] through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.”, the faith is the operation or power of God. What kind of power? In the original Greek text¹, “who hath raised him from the dead” modifies the faith, the power of God, rather than God. Therefore, the faith is the power of raising him from dead.

 

Faith is his work: In Eph 2:8-10 “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. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them” In this verse, it emphasizes that “Not of [man's] works, lest any man should boast” but “his workmanship”. It's a gift from him. It's the wage of his work paid for our debt. This is his work: “Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works” – Tit 2:14. That's why in Gal 2:16 it said “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.” what this verse tried to reveal is this truth: knowing that a man is not justified by his own works, because all men are sinners (Rom 3:23), no matter how hard we work, the wages of our works (sin) is death (Rom 6:23). But by the work of Jesus Christ, we can be justified. Because he has no sin and His work is good: “For when we were yet without strength and ungodly, in due time Christ died for us” (Rom 5:6). This is his work.

 

Faith is himself: Isa 65:16 “That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth²; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth³; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes.” In the original Hebrew text, the “God of truth” is “God of Amen”. Amen /m@a* in Hebrew means truth and faith. Therefore in Rev 3:14, Jesus called himself as the Amen, that is, the Faith. “…These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;”

 

So my beloved Brothers and Sisters, next time when you hear that Jesus said “your faith has healed you”, we now understand that he is actually saying: your Jesus has healed you, his work has healed you, he died for you and his power now has covered you and will heal you from death. My Lord, my Saviour and my Almighty God, Thank you in his Faith, Amen.

 

 

Evidence of Blessing

Exodus 3:11-12 But Moses said to God, "Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?" And God said, "I will be with you. And this will be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship God on this mountain."

 

Moses was looking for sign of past or “now” as an evidence to himself as well as to Pharaoh and Israelites that God sent him. But from the verse above, God told Moses what would happen in the future as the evidence. God's thought is different from human logic.

 

People typically secure an evidence on paper or in materials. But from the verse above, we learn that God setup an evidence in the life that Israelites are going to experience. God's way is different from human approach.

 

Dear Brothers and Sisters, let's try to ponder what is our evidence of our blessing? Did God already laid down his blessing in our life? Where is the evidence of his blessing in us?

 

Dear Brothers and Sisters, do we know: when we saw a child wearing a beautiful cloth, we saw the evidence of his/her parents' love on him/her, because his/her parents cherish their loving child with a beautiful dress. Likewise, when we saw a brother or a sister who lived in the word of God, we saw the evidence that our Heavenly Father loved him/her already. Because our Father cherishes his beloved child with a heavenly garment made of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

 

Dear Brothers and Sisters, when one day, if you have been slandered and falsely persecuted, and you are still able to accept them who persecuted you with smile, with forgiveness and even praying for them for their salvation. I have to tell you: this is the evidence that you have been blessed by our Heavenly Father.

 

Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for giving us understanding that we may live. Thank you that you let us understand that when we are willing to give to the poor, that joyful willingness is the evidence of our blessing. Thank you that you let us understand that when we have forgiven other's debt, that burdenless feet and restful peace is the evidence of our blessing. Thank you that you let us understand that when we love one another as you love us such that people can see we are your disciples and give glory to you, this is the evidence of our blessing. Thank you that you let us know that when we believed in the name of our savior Jesus Christ, this is the evidence that we are blessed with life eternal, praise to the LORD, in His name we pray, Amen.
