Liberal Churches

A liberal church says you are welcome here, and Jesus will change your life. 

A legalistic church says you are welcome here, and you need to change your life.

A reformed church says you are welcome here, and God will change your life through Jesus by the Holy Spirit with the Bible.

得救的信心 Saving Faith

天主教 vs. 基督教

天主教：称义  =  信心  +  善行
基督教：信心  =  称义  +  善行

* “称义” = 被称为 “义人” (好人) = 得救
* “善行” = “好行为” = 顺服神 = 遵行律法

 

什么是 “得救的信心”？

Saving Faith
(得救的信心)
 = Notitia
(知道)
 + Assensus
(同意)		 + Fiducia
(信靠)
1) 知道 = 知道福音的内容
2) 同意 = 同意福音的真实性
3) 信靠 = 信靠和顺服		 “我们被称义不是因为遵守律法，
而是为了可以遵守律法。”

 

Notitia = Knowing
Assensus = Assenting
Fiducia = Trusting and Obeying

Legalism: Works = Justification
Antinomianism: Faith – Works = Justification
Catholicism: Faith + Works = Justification
Christianity: Faith = Justification + Works

 

Hebrews 11:1 “Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.”

Logic: Knowledge + Evidence = Truth
Faith: God’s Word = Truth

 

真正的悔改

Repentance is running from sin, and faith is running to God. Same direction, same action. They are the two sides of the same coin.

Repentance = Running from sin = Running to God = Faith

 

Fear-based repentance is running to God without Christ.
Joy-based repentance is running to God in Christ.


Attrition = fear of punishment
Contrition = a broken and contrite heart = true faith

基督徒和非基督徒是有分别的

有很多人称呼我们为基督徒并不能保证我们是基督徒。基督徒和非基督徒的生命是有分别的。基督徒和非基督徒的喜乐也是有分别的。基督徒的喜乐从哪里来？喜乐从盼望而来。那盼望从哪里来？盼望因重生而来。人若不重生，就不能见神的国。没有属天的盼望的喜乐，是属世的喜乐。（彼前1:3-7; 路10:20）
