願意的,都可以白白取生命的水喝。啟22:17
Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely. Revelation 22:17
一個司機停下來問路,當被告知怎麼走以後,他追問了一句,「是不是惟一的路?」人家說:「是的,華山一條路!」救贖的道路也只有一條--耶穌基督。耶穌說:若不藉著我,沒有人到父那裡去。(約14:6)彼得也說:在天下人間,沒有賜下別的名,我們可以靠著得救。(徒4:12)
這是傲慢和狹隘麼?當然不是!基督徒在這個問題上沒有退路。我們得救是因為白白的恩典,我們不配的。基督是上帝差遣的,為我們受難,又為我們復活。上帝的赦免和新生依然在工作。如果你還沒有悔改,今天就是機會。如果你已經是他的孩子,今天你就為那些你認識的但還沒有信的人禱告。上帝會幫助你做他的見證。
A driver stopped to ask the way to a certain street. When told, he asked doubtfully, 「Is that the only way?」 The man replied, 「That is the only way.」
There is only one way of salvation-and that is Christ. Jesus said, 「No one comes to the father except through Me」 (John 14:6). Peter declared, 「There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved」 (Acts 4:12).
Is this arrogance or intolerance? No-and Christians must never be guilty of those attitudes. We are saved solely by God’s grace; we do not deserve it. But Christ was God’s appointed means of salvation. Only Christ died for our sins; Only Christ rose from the dead.
God’s offer of forgiveness and new life still stands. If you have never done so, turn to Christ today. And if you do know Him, pray today for someone you know who does not yet believe, and ask God to help you tell that person of His salvation。
