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：稱義  =  信心  +  善行
基督教：信心  =  稱義  +  善行

* “稱義” = 被稱為 “義人” (好人) = 得救
* “善行” = “好行為” = 順服神 = 遵行律法

 

什麼是 “得救的信心”？

Saving Faith
(得救的信心)
 = Notitia
(知道)
 + Assensus
(同意)		 + Fiducia
(信靠)
1) 知道 = 知道福音的內容
2) 同意 = 同意福音的真實性
3) 信靠 = 信靠和順服		 “我們被稱義不是因為遵守律法，
而是為了可以遵守律法。”

 

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別的

有很多人稱呼我們為基督徒並不能保證我們是基督徒。基督徒和非基督徒的生命是有分別的。基督徒和非基督徒的喜樂也是有分別的。基督徒的喜樂從哪裡來？喜樂從盼望而來。那盼望從哪裡來？盼望因重生而來。人若不重生，就不能見神的國。沒有屬天的盼望的喜樂，是屬世的喜樂。（彼前1:3-7; 路10:20）
