Beware Lest You Fall (2 Peter 3:14-18)
Peter’s second letter concerns the prophetic word and remaining true to it. In this letter, he reminds the readers that Jesus is coming again soon and will reward those who persevere in faith and good works. J. N. D. Kelly says that “to be found by the Lord when He comes…is a clear reference to […]
Il Signore Gesù non credeva nei nuovi credenti di Giovanni 2:23? Parte 1
Mentre egli era in Gerusalemme, alla festa di Pasqua, molti credettero nel suo nome vedendo i segni che egli faceva. Ma Gesù non si fidava di loro, perché conosceva tutti, e perché non aveva bisogno della testimonianza di nessuno sull’uomo, poiché egli stesso conosceva quello che era nell’uomo (Giovanni 2:23-25). La parola greca tradotta credere […]
¿Sabes qué es un tipo bíblico?
Cuando se estudia en una universidad bíblica o seminario, se aprende el significado de palabras que el público general a menudo no conoce. Al cursar griego bíblico, mis compañeros y yo comentamos que aprendimos gramática inglesa mientras aprendíamos gramática griega. La palabra tipo es bien conocida por los teólogos. Merriam-Webster dice que uno de los […]
Alam Ninyo Ba Kung Ano Ang Tipo Sa Biblia?
Kapag ang isang tao ay pumasok sa isang kolehiyo ng Biblia o seminaryo, natututunan nila ang kahulugan ng mga salitang hindi alam ng publiko. Nang kumukuha kami ng Biblikal na Griyego, ako at ang aking mga kaklase ay madalas magkomentong natututo kami ng gramatika ng Ingles habang natututo ng gramatika ng Griyego. Ang salitang tipo […]
What Does Receiving Christ As Your (Personal) Savior Mean?
A common evangelistic appeal asks, “Are you ready to receive Christ as your Savior?” Another asks, “Would you like to receive Christ as your personal Savior?” Have you ever wondered what people mean when speaking of Jesus as the Savior or my personal Savior? I once heard Zane Hodges discuss receiving Christ as one’s personal […]
Вы давно созерцали красоту Господа?
Мы тяжело трудимся над комментарием-однотомником к Ветхому Завету, публикация которого запланирована на конец 2026 года. Я завершил первую половину своего чернового варианта комментария к Книге Левит. Две третьих комментария к Книге Бытия тоже завершены, и буквально сегодня я окончил свой комментарий к 26 Псалму. Сейчас я пишу комментарий к первой части Псалтыря, с 1 по […]
Sapete che cos’è una prefigurazione biblica?
Quando si frequenta un istituto biblico o un seminario, si impara il significato di parole che spesso il grande pubblico non conosce. Quando studiavo greco biblico, io e i miei compagni di corso commentavamo che avevamo imparato la grammatica inglese mentre stavamo studiando la grammatica greca. La parola prefigurazione è ben nota ai teologi. Merriam-Webster […]
Did Jesus’ Human Nature Ever Conflict with His Divine Nature?
Church history defined the orthodox view that the Lord Jesus Christ had two natures: human and divine. However, there are two views of His two natures. (The view that Jesus had but one nature—a divine nature—is called monophysitism.i) Within this theological discourse, some scholars argue that Jesus’ human and divine natures were always in harmony, […]
你最近看到主的美了吗？
我们正在努力工作，争取在 2026 年年底之前出版一卷本的旧约圣经注释。我已经完成了《利未记》注释的初稿。《创世纪》已经读了三分之二。就在今天，我完成了《诗篇》第 27 篇的注释。我正在做《诗篇》第一卷的注释，其中包括《诗篇》第 1-41 篇。 你是否注意到大卫在诗篇 27 篇中的优美语句：“我向耶和华求一件事，就是一生一世住在耶和华的殿中，瞻仰耶和华的荣美，在他殿中查求问“（诗篇 27：4）。 瞻仰耶和华的荣美，他指的是什么？ 关于第 4 节，我是这样写的：“大卫渴望看见主的美貌。保罗在写林后 3:18 时可能想到了这节经文，‘惟有我们众人，以揭去面纱的脸得意看见主的荣光，，如同照镜子一般，渐渐变作一个模样……’”（着重部分由作者标明） 赞恩·霍奇斯告诉我，他认为林后 3:18 中主的荣耀指的是主耶稣基督的美。他在《基督徒生活的六个秘密》一书中写道： 然而，上帝的 “奇妙之镜 “从未忘记告诉我们，我们的主耶稣基督是至高无上的公平者。因此，在一首关于王的伟大弥赛亚诗篇中，受启示的作者宣称：“我的心溢满了美辞；我为王吟诵我的诗篇；我的舌头是敏捷作家的手笔“（诗 45:1）。然后，诗篇作者直接对这位王者说，赞美之情溢于言表： “你比世人公平，恩典倾注在你的嘴唇上“（第 2 节）（第 29 页）。 我们应该记得，林后 3:18 提到了摩西看见主的荣耀的时候。每次与主耶稣基督见面时，摩西的脸都会发光。(他戴上了面纱，因为随着时间的推移，光彩会逐渐减弱）。 约翰在《约翰一书》第 3 章第 2 节中说：“亲爱的，我们如今是神的儿女；我们将来如何，尚未显明；但我们知道，当祂显现的时候，我们就必像祂，因为我们要见祂的本来面目”。可见主对我们有一种改变的作用。 我们从《圣经》中看到主耶稣的美丽和荣耀，从而得到改变。 人们在所有错误的地方寻找转变，包括沉思练习、改变心智的药物、狂喜体验和禁欲主义。 主耶稣就是答案。我如何重生？通过相信主耶稣基督，获得祂应许给信徒的永生。我如何变得更像基督？通过在上帝的话语中看到祂的荣耀。 从某种意义上说，我们越爱主耶稣基督，就越像祂。 ___ 鲍勃·威尔金(Bob Wilkin)(达拉斯神学院神学硕士，博士)恩典福音派协会(Grace Evangelical Society)创始人及执行主任，聚焦恩典电台(Grace in Focus Radio)联合主持人。他同妻子莎伦(Sharon)住在德州高地村（Highland Village, TX）。鲍勃最新的书有《在一百节经文中的“单凭信心”（暂译）》（Faith Alone in One Hundred […]
Are All Believers Overcomers?
Recently I wrote a blog on Rev 3:5 and the question of whether non-overcoming believers will be blotted out of the Book of Life. See here. I received this excellent question about that blog from John: I’m going to add in red what I think Rev 3:5 means: He who overcomes shall be clothed in […]
