耶稣拯救我们或是我们必须拯救自己?(使徒行传2:40-42)
一. 经文信息:(使徒行传2:40-42)
1. 讲完道,证明耶稣是救主,彼得用许多话恳切的劝他们说,"你们要救自己脱离这弯曲的世代.
2. 那些领受他话的人就受了洗.那天大约有三千人加入了基督的教会!2:41
3. 他们奉献自己的身心遵守使徒们的教训.2:42 4. 他们奉献自己的身心建立与教会其他信徒之间的友宜.2:42
5. 他们奉献自己的身心遵守吃主的晚餐记念耶稣为救他而死在十字架上.2:42
6. 他们奉献自己的身心要过每天有祷告的生活!2:42
二. 在现实日常生活里这就是他们怎样救自己!
1. 他们自己必须愿意领受彼得所传的道!彼得用他们已经熟识的旧约圣经证明耶稣是救主.
2. 他们自己必须愿意起来认罪悔改,自己走到水里去接受洗礼.
三千人若自己不按次序走到水里受洗,谁能叫三千人走到水里受洗!
3. 他们必须自己愿意奉献身心遵行使徒们的教训!
若是他们自己不愿意谁能叫他们遵守!
正如今天各位都坐在礼堂听道.但是你有没有真的听,没有人能强迫你!是的,你有听见吗?
4. 他们奉献身心经常与教会其他信徒建立友宜.
与教会其他信徒建立友宜可以是聚会前或是聚会后,或是查经班...
现今的时代,人若不诚心立志要与教会其他信徒建立友宜,没有任何人勉强你!这一项非常重要!
教会的人要彼此激发爱心行善.若不先建立友宜,怎能彼此激发爱心彼此勉厉!
5. 他们奉献自己的身心每主日参加吃主的晚餐记念耶稣为救他们死在十字架上.
这一项教会有许多人做到了!感谢神的恩典.但是其他也是必须的!
6. 他们奉献自己的身心建立每天祷告的习惯.
信主的人若不自己决心要这样,谁能每天看着他们有没有祷告昵!
7. 是的,神愿意世上所有的人都得着救恩,明白圣经真理!(提摩太前书2:4)
但是谁能监督你,看着你每天读圣经昵?你自己必须下决心要这样做!
现今的世代生活这样忙!每天各自有许多迫切需要去做的事.还有许多你认为更重要的事!
每人若不自己下决心无论如何,就算叫其他很重要的事放下不做,坐下来读圣经!
这其实就是奉献自己的身心作某事的意思!
三. 谁能使你灵生命长大成人昵?(希伯来书5:13-14)
经文说,吃灵奶的人是婴儿,不熟练正义之道,唯长大的人,能吃干粮.心窍通达.能分别善恶!
(faculty of the mind for perceiving, understanding, judging)
"心窍通达"的原文意思-->头脑思想里面的一个部门专门负责观感,分析理解和判决!
然后决定怎样应对!例如:
1.我们读了某段经文,理解记住.
2.常常应用这个已经学了的经文.
3.常应用实习锻练自己成为能够辩别是非善恶!
正如: (1) 当人提到教会要不要开始实行割礼的教导.
你思想里的那一位负责观感,分析的部们立刻就知道,那些经文反对或是赞成这种做法!
然后就判决当取的步骤!
希伯来书5:13-14节经文就是针对当日有人传割礼和遵守摩西律法才能得救的错误!
我本人立刻记得使徒行传15:1-28,希伯来书7:12...这是非常严重的错误....
(2) 当提到某教会名字我立刻有许多经文来到我头脑专门负责观感,分析,理解和判决的部门,这关系到魂的灭亡!
其中最严厉的责备是提多书3:10-11!
(3) 当有人提到怎样帮忙朋友作证明的时候,第一处经文就是主耶稣所说的马太福音5:37!
"你们的话是就说是,不是就说不是,若再多说,就是出于那恶者!...
信主的人若都能这样做,就长大成人了!
愿神赐福保守你直到永远! 二零零八年六月十二日.
Jesus saves us or we save ourselves? (Acts 2:40-44)
A. Message from Acts 2:40-44-->
1. Peter warned them with many other words and pleaded with them,
“Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.” 2:40
2. Those accepted his message were baptized! About 3000 were added to the church!
3. They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching. 2:42
4. They devoted themselves to the fellowship. 2:41
5. They devoted themselves to the breaking of bread. 2:42
6. They devoted themselves to the prayer. 2:42
B. In reality this was how they saved themselves!
1. They themselves have to accept the message Peter told them!
2. They themselves have to walk up, confess their sins, repent,
and walk down into the water and be baptized!
There were about 3000 of them!
If they do not do it voluntarily who can make 3000 man walk into the water and be baptized!
3. They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching!
If they don’t do this who can make them! Like right now,
we can’t even make you listen to the preaching!
Even though you are here sitting in the church building!
But are you listening!?...
4. They devoted themselves to the fellowship!
Fellowship can be right after worship, before meetings…
but as soon as worship or meeting over,
you run out of the building who can make you stay to fellowship with others!
Every first Sunday we have fellowship lunch!
Many do not have time to participate!
No one but you can devote yourself to the fellowship!
Even when comwes to who should we fellowship with? …
5. As for devoted themselves to the breaking of bread!
Many do this quiet well!
Still there are some who can’t! If you don’t do that who can make you do it!
6. They devoted themselves to prayer!
Who can watch you each day to see whether you have time to pray!
All these depend on you yourselves!
7. Yes, God wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth in the Bible!(2 Tim.2:4)
But who else can make you study the Bible everyday!
Who can make you remember and practice what it says! You alone can do so!
We are so busy and preoccupied with so many other things!
C. Who can make you grow spiritually? (Heb.5:13-14)
Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant,
is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness.
But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves
to distinguish good from evil!
1. Constant use of the truth in the Bible.
2. They have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.
a. When someone say the church should practice circumcision…
Your antenna is up and you know which scriptures to go to….
b. When one tells you about a church with a name that is not in the Bible,
you know which scripture to go to…
May God bless you!
