Love & Law

“愛是防止敬虔退化成律法主義的首要原則;同時,律法又提供了愛的內容。”
“Love is the overarching principle that prevents piety from degenerating into legalism. At the same time, law provides the content for love.”
– Joel, Beeke, Living for God’s Glory, Obedience

If God, why evil?

R. C. Sproul: “We’re never allowed to call good ‘evil,’ or evil ‘good.'” Evil is evil, it is not good, but it is good that there is evil. It is good that there is a devil (or there wouldn’t be a devil or there wouldn’t be sin), because God has ordained both the existence of Satan and the existence of sin, and everything that God ordains, ultimately, is good.”

“我們永遠都不能稱善為惡,或稱惡為善。惡就是惡,是不好的,但惡的存在是好的。魔鬼的存在是好的(不然魔鬼和罪惡都不會存在),因為上帝命定了撒但和罪惡的存在,而上帝所命定的一切最終都是好的。”

用舌頭閱讀聖經

佈道家 Robert L. Summer 在他的書《奇妙聖言 The wonder of the word of God》中,講述堪薩斯城 (Kansas City) 一個男人的故事。這人在一次爆炸中受了重傷,面容嚴重變形,不單失去雙手,也喪失視力。意外發生時,他才成為基督徒不久,令他大失所望的就是不能夠再讀聖經。後來他聽說英國有一位女士能用嘴唇讀點字符號 (Braille 盲文),他也希望能這樣讀聖經,於是訂購了幾卷盲文版的聖經書卷。不過他發現,嘴唇的神經末梢受損太嚴重,無法分辨文字。有一天,當他把點字版放到嘴唇上,舌頭正好接觸到幾個凸起的字,他能感覺得到它們的存在,剎那間他想到:“我可以用舌頭讀聖經。” Robert L. Summer 在寫這件事的時候,這人已讀完整本聖經六次。

聖徒的恆忍

— Joel Beeke, Living for God’s Glory, p.117
“If the elect could lose their salvation, the Father’s election would be ineffectual, Christ’s intercession would be irrelevant, and the Spirit’s sanctification would be impotent.”
“若選民會失去自己的救恩,聖父的揀選就歸於無效,基督的代求就毫不相干,聖靈的成聖也就失去能力了。” (翻譯: 陳知綱, 安娜)
