双语灵修（葛培理牧师）：10月25日 相信事实

相信事实

我……知道我所信的是谁，也深信祂能保全我所交付祂的，直到那日。

提摩太后书1:12

如果你从罪中得救，是经由个人对圣经所定义的基督福音的相信而得救的，虽然一开始你可能觉得这既教条又狭隘，但事实上别无其他途径可取。圣经说：“我当日所领受又传给你们的福音，……第一，就是基督照圣经所说：为我们的罪死了，而且埋葬了；又照圣经所说，第三天复活了”（哥林多前书15:1,3-4）。圣经说，当我们相信这个客观事实时，我们就得救了。基督所做的工是个事实，祂的十字架是个事实，祂的坟墓是个事实，祂的复活也是个事实。

我们不可能通过相信使任何事物存在。福音的出现并不是因为人们相信它。第一个复活​​节基督的坟墓空了，并不是因为一些信徒相信才发生的。事实先于信仰。如果没有相信的对象，我们在心理上就无法相信。

你不需要去相信那些不可信的事物，而是要相信在现实中超越了所有历史的历史事实。我们呼吁你相信，基督为罪人所成就的工作，在所有敢于将灵魂托付给他的人身上都是有效的。相信祂会为你带来永恒的救赎，这并不是相信某人的幻想，而是相信事实。

今日祷告：

哦，天父，我相信耶稣荣耀的复活，因为这是真实的。正因为这是真实的，我们才有盼望。感谢主！奉耶稣的名，阿们。

THE FACT OF FAITH

I know whom I have believed,and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.2 Timothy 1:12

If you are saved from sin,you are saved through a personal faith in the Gospel of Christ as defined in the Scriptures.Though it may at first seem dogmatic and narrow to you,the fact remains that there is no other way.The Bible says,“I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you…for I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received,how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;and that he was buried,and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures”(1 Corinthians 15:1,3-4).The Bible says that we are saved when our faith is in this objective fact.The work of Christ is a fact,His Cross is a fact,His tomb is a fact,His resurrection is a fact.

It is impossible to believe anything into existence.The Gospel did not come into being because men believed it.The tomb was not emptied of Christ’s body that first Easter because some faithful persons believed it.The fact preceded the faith.We are psychologically incapable of believing without an object of our faith.

You are not called upon to believe something that is not credible,but to believe in the fact of history that in reality transcends all history.We call upon you to believe that this work of Christ for sinners is effective in all who will risk their souls with Him.Trusting in Him for your eternal salvation is trusting,not in a figment of someone’s imagination,but in a fact.

Pray for the Day:

O Father,I believe in the glorious resurrection of Jesus because it’s true.And because it’s true,we have hope.Thank You,Lord,in Jesus’Name,Amen.
