Life as Everlasting Life in John’s Gospel
It is well known that the expressions everlasting life and eternal life occur often in John’s Gospel. In the NKJV and KJV translations, everlasting life occurs eight times and eternal life nine times. But in all seventeen places, the Greek it translates is the same: zōēn aiōnion. The NASB, NET, HCSB, ESV, LEB, and CEB […]
1 Коринфянам 10:1-5 учит, что поколение Книги Исход было спасено?
Не хочу оставить вас, братия, в неведении, что отцы наши все были под облаком, и все прошли сквозь море; и все крестились в Моисея в облаке и в море; и все ели одну и ту же духовную пищу; и все пили одно и то же духовное питие: ибо пили из духовного последующего камня; камень же […]
Tinuturo Ba Ng 1 Corinto 10:1-5 Na Ang Buong Henerasyon Ng Exodo Ay Ligtas?
Sapagkat hindi ko ibig mga kapatid, na di ninyo maalaman, na ang ating mga magulang ay nangapasa ilalim ng alapaap, at ang lahat ay nagsitawid sa dagat, at lahat ay nangabautismuhan kay Moises sa alapaap at sa dagat, at lahat ay nagsikain ng isang pagkain ding ayon sa espiritu, at lahat ay nagsiinom ng isang […]

The people who attend these services are Spanish speakers. Marino Martinez is a long-time friend of GES. He was mentored by Loren Faul, who was a missionary in […]
住在基督里并不等于得救
在《约翰福音》 15：5 中，主说：“我是葡萄树，你们是枝子。住在我里面的，我也住在他里面，他就结出很多果子”这节经文经常被圣经教师、传道人甚至神学院教授用来论证所有信徒都会结出属灵的果子。他们主张“住在基督里”就等于“成为基督徒”。他们认为，既然所有信徒都 “住 ”在基督里，那么所有信徒都会顺服而行，结出好果子。如果你没有过圣洁的生活，那么你就没有住在基督里，因此你就不是信徒，你将下地狱。那么，不妨审视一下自己，看看自己是否正在结出这样的果子。如果你没有结出 “许多”果子（顺服主），你就应该担心自己得救的问题。 白白恩典派则指出这种观点是多么荒谬。主说的是结果子，而不是我们如何知道自己是否得救。这是基督徒生活的问题，而不是永恒救赎的问题。在《约翰福音》 15 章，基督正在与十一位门徒谈话，他们都有永生。当祂告诉他们要常在祂里面时，祂说的不是得救。住在祂里面意味着与祂亲密。祂希望与他们同在。这就是 “住”这个动词的意思。如果主与信徒同在，他就会结出祂想要的属灵果子。与主同住意味着与祂相交。信徒可以与祂相交，但也可以选择不与祂相交。不顺服的信徒就没有在与基督的亲密关系之中。 《列王纪下》 25：8-17很好地说明了这一属灵的真理。这些经文叙述了巴比伦军队摧毁耶路撒冷圣殿的情景。他们把建筑都烧为平地。然后，他们把圣殿里的所有物件都运到了巴比伦。 圣殿对犹太人来说具有高度的象征意义。它是民族自豪感的象征。但它的意义远不止于此。它还象征着上帝居住在祂的子民中间。这是祂的家。当它矗立时，意味着祂与他们同在。祂与他们相交。祂在那里祝福他们。 但是，这个民族已经深深地陷入了罪恶之中。上帝告诉人们，如果发生这种情况，祂就会把他们作为俘虏带到另一个地方。换句话说，如果他们没有结出神所期望的果实—如果他们不顺从神的旨意，他们的城市就会被摧毁。这包括圣殿。 人们要在圣殿里敬拜上帝。他们在那里献祭，以遮盖他们的罪。罪得赦免，就能继续与神相交。这种宽恕使神能够祝福祂的子民。 圣殿的毁灭意味着什么？很明显，人们没有与神相交。他们没有住在祂里面。祂不再与祂的子民同住，也就是说，祂不再与祂的子民同在。 但他们仍然是祂的子民吗？当然还是。我们知道后面的故事。祂的子民从被掳中归来，重建了圣殿。这是一幅恢复关系的图画。上帝再次居住在祂的子民的中间。祂与他们同在。 今天，当一个信徒行走在悖逆中时，他并没有住在基督里。但他仍然是一个信徒，但主却不与他同在。在这种状态下，他将无法结出任何属灵的果子。 永生永远不会失去。但是，过着悖逆生活的基督徒基督不与他同在。这是一幅丑陋的画面。你可以在《列王记下》25:8-17 中读到这种情况。它看起来就像一座被烧毁的美丽建筑，其中的物件都被运走了。
¿Enseña 1 Corintios 10:1-5 que la generación del Éxodo se salvó?
Porque no quiero, hermanos, que ignoréis que nuestros padres todos estuvieron bajo la nube, y todos pasaron el mar; y todos en Moisés fueron bautizados en la nube y en el mar, y todos comieron el mismo alimento espiritual, y todos bebieron la misma bebida espiritual; porque bebían de la roca espiritual que los seguía, […]
The Tongue Will Get You in Trouble
In a famous passage, James tells us to beware of the damage our tongues can do. He puts it like this: “The tongue is a fire…The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature” (Jas 3:6). Without question, he’s talking about the […]
1 Corinzi 10:1-5 insegna che la generazione dell’Esodo era salvata?
Non voglio infatti che ignoriate, fratelli, che i nostri padri furono tutti sotto la nuvola, passarono tutti attraverso il mare, furono tutti battezzati nella nuvola e nel mare, per essere di Mosè; mangiarono tutti lo stesso cibo spirituale, bevvero tutti la stessa bevanda spirituale, perché bevevano alla roccia spirituale che li seguiva; e questa roccia […]
Did Judaizers Believe That Salvation Is by Faith Alone (Acts 15:5)?
Elwyn asks a great question: Please address an issue for me manifested in Acts 15:5. How could Judaizers have been believers if they were mixing law with grace? The appearance is that they were not believers by faith alone in Christ alone. The reason this is a great inquiry is that Luke calls these people […]
