神所默示的话语
圣经是非凡与独特的,因为它从始至终都是神自己的工作。这是宗教改革的基要教导,因为神的救恩计划是唯独透过圣经向我们显明的。
圣经与历世历代、世界各地的智慧集锦不同之处在于,那些集锦来自于人的智慧。而使徒保罗说,圣经是神所默示的。保罗描述“默示”这个词,其简单而深刻的意思是:“神呼出的”。
圣经怎么是神所呼出的呢?这真是个奥秘!圣灵曾在历史上各种各样的环境中讲述普世的真理。尽管众多圣经作者有各不相同的个性、恩赐、癖好、长处和短处,但圣灵一直透过他们向神过去和今日的百姓说话。
正因为圣经的话都是“神所呼出的”,或者说默示的,所以它是完全可信的,能赐给我们信仰一切所需的,并使我们过一个讨神喜悦的生活。
你是否沉浸在神的话语之中呢?如果不是,愿它成为你每日生活的基石,滋养、挑战,并带领你爱神和爱你的邻舍。
主啊,我为着祢默示的话语感谢祢。当我每天读祢的话语时,求祢引导我进入祢的真理,按着我的需要装备我,好使我忠心为祢而活。奉耶稣的名求,阿们。
提摩太后书 3:14-17
14但你所学习的,所确信的,要存在心里;因为你知道是跟谁学的,
15并且知道你是从小明白圣经,这圣经能使你因信基督耶稣,有得救的智慧。
16圣经都是神所默示的,于教训、督责、使人归正、教导人学义都是有益的,
17叫属神的人得以完全,预备行各样的善事。
God's Divinely Inspired Word
"All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped. . . ." — 2 Timothy 3:16-17
The Bible is exceptional and unique because it is God's own project from beginning to end. This is the foundational teaching of the Reformation, for it is through Scripture alone that God reveals his salvation plan.
The difference between the Bible and other collections of wisdom across the ages and around the world is that those collections are inspired by human wisdom. The Bible, says the apostle Paul, is divinely inspired. The term that Paul uses to describe this inspiration can be simply and profoundly referred to as "God-breathed."
How the Bible is God-breathed is truly a mystery. God the Holy Spirit has spoken universal truth throughout history in all kinds of circumstances. Despite a vast array of personalities with all of their individual gifts, quirks, strengths, and shortcomings, the Holy Spirit has spoken in and through the many writers of the Bible to his people in the past as well as today.
Because the words of the Bible are "God-breathed," or inspired, they are wholly trustworthy, giving us all we need for faith and for living a life that pleases God.
Are you steeped in God's Word? If not, let it become the bedrock of your daily life, nourishing, challenging, and leading you in pleasing God and loving your neighbor.
Thank you, Lord, for your inspired Word. As I read it each day, guide me to the truths that will equip me with all I need to live faithfully for you. Amen.
