为什么说你不能给自己买礼物?

我不知道把给自己买的东西称为礼物在技术层面是否正确。但我听人这么说过。 于是,我决定用谷歌搜索一下。我输入了 “给自己买礼物“。我惊讶地发现有 5.66 亿条结果。第一个结果是:“研究表明,把钱花在别人身上比花在自己身上更能给我们带来快乐。然而,这并不意味着给自己买礼物不是一个好主意“(斜体部分由作者标明)。 下一篇文章的标题是 “幸福就是给自己买份礼物:你值得拥有!” 下一篇标题是 “为什么要给自己买礼物“。然后是 “2024 年最值得为自己买的 40 件礼物“。“如何拥抱自我馈赠行为” “犒劳自己: 给自己买礼物的4个正当理由“。这样的文章一篇接着一篇。 但上帝赐予相信祂儿子的人的礼物又是什么呢?我们能为自己买到这份礼物吗? 主耶稣称永生为 “上帝的恩赐“(约翰福音 4:10,14),使徒保罗也如此说(以弗所书 2:5,8-9)。 主耶稣基督在十字架上用自己的血换来了永生。我们常唱:“耶稣付清了一切。我欠的,祂都还清了“。然而,《圣经》中并没有 “祂付清了一切 “这一说法。《圣经》中从未用 “偿还(paid) “一词来指耶稣在十字架上的死。 关于耶稣的死,用了几个词。一个是 “买“(agarazō)。“因为你们是用价买来的……”(林前 6:20;7:23)。另一个相关的词是 “赎回“(exagarzō)一词。“基督赎了我们……”(加拉太书 3:13;4:5)。“你们不是用金银等可坏的东西赎回的……乃是用基督的宝血赎回的“(彼前 […]
