Faith
Hebrews 11:1 “Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.”
knowledge + evidence = truth
God’s words + no evidence = truth = faith
得救的信心
Saving Faith = Notitia + Assensus + Fiducia
Notitia = Knowing
Assensus = Assenting
Fiducia = Trusting and Obeying
得救信心 = 知道 (Notitia) + 同意 (Assensus) + 信靠 (Fiducia)
Notitia = 知道福音的内容
Assensus = 同意福音的真实性
Fiducia = 信靠和顺服
善行的角色
律法主义:称义 = 善行
反律法论:称义 = 信心
天主教:称义 = 信心 + 善行
基督教:信心 = 称义 + 善行
Legalism: Works = Justification
Antinomianism: Faith – Works = Justification
Catholicism: Faith + Works = Justification
Reformed: Faith = Justification + Works
“我们被称义不是因为遵守律法,而是为了可以遵守律法。”
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
