真正的成圣

真正的成圣一定会使人增长爱心、谦卑、圣洁。圣经说 「知识叫人自高自大」(林前 8:1);然而,一个人如果越认识神、越接近神,应该是越谦卑,而不是越骄傲;而且,应该越来越像神、像基督,越来越有爱,因为神就是爱 (约一 4:16)。其实,成圣就是神对人的爱。”我们爱,因为神先爱我们” (约一 4:19)。

同时,真正的成圣也应该使人越来越追求过圣洁的生活,因为圣灵是圣洁的灵 (罗 15:16),也是真理的灵 (约一 4:6)。所以,如果要确定一个人是不是有圣灵,除了看他/她认不认耶稣是道成肉身 (约一 4:2),还要看有没有追求圣洁、有没有追求真理。神拯救我们的目的是为了使我们借着真道成为圣洁 (约 17:17)。神说: “你们要圣洁,因为我是圣洁的” (彼前 1:16; 利 19:2)。

“Trinity” vs. “Triunity”

The terms “Trinity” and “Triunity” are often used interchangeably to refer to the Christian doctrine of the three-in-one nature of God. However, there are subtle differences between the two terms.

The term “Trinity” comes from the Latin word “Trinitas,” which means “threefoldness.” It refers to the Christian belief that God exists as three distinct persons – the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit – who are united in one divine essence.

The term “Triunity,” on the other hand, is derived from the Greek word “Triados” (Τριάδος), which means “group of three.” It emphasizes the idea that the three persons of the Trinity are united in a shared nature or essence.

In practice, both terms are used to describe the same fundamental belief in the three-in-one nature of God. However, the term “Triunity” is less commonly used in everyday Christian language, and is often reserved for more technical or scholarly discussions of the doctrine of the Trinity. “Triunity” would be less likely than with the term “Trinity” to be misunderstood or misused in contexts outside of Christian theology to suggest the existence of multiple gods.

加尔文:连狗都会吠叫

—John Calvin 加尔文

“A dog barks when his master is attacked. I would be a coward if I saw that God’s truth is attacked and yet would remain silent.”

“当狗看见它的主人受到攻击时,它会吠叫。如果我看到上帝的真理受到攻击却保持沉默,那我就是一个胆小鬼。”
