“A God-Centered Faith and Church,” part 1
以上帝為中心的福音﹕作基督徒的意義
A God-Centered Gospel: What Does It Mean to be a Christian?
以上帝為中心？我們的信仰直接影響我們的生活。 God-centered? We are what we believe.
I． 救恩出自耶和華﹕三一上帝是我們的救主
Salvation For Us: The Triune God is our Savior
1． 父神揀選我們，在基督裏﹕在創造世界以前（弗1﹕3-6）
The Father chose us, in Christ: before the creation of the world (Eph. 1:3-6)
2． 聖子救贖我們﹕潔淨我們；更啟示上帝的旨意（弗1﹕7-12）
The Son redeemed us: cleansed us; and revealed God’s will (Eph. 1:7-12)
3． 上帝的旨意是什麼？天上地下一切都在基督裏歸一﹕耶穌是宇宙的主
What is God’s will: that everything in heaven and on earth be one in Christ: simply put: Jesus in Lord; Jesus rules as king over universe
4． 聖靈作我們得救（得產業）的印證（弗1﹕13-14；參羅8﹕13-16）
The Holy becomes the “seal” (guarantee) of our salvation/inheritance
(Eph. 1:13-14; cf. Rom. 8:13-16)
II． 人得救﹕上帝親自改變我們 Salvation to Us: God Transforms Us
1． 上帝怎樣改變我們？從死入生；徹底改變（弗1﹕2-6）
How does God transform us? Thoroughly: from death to lie (Eph. 2:1-6)
2． 這一切都是出於上帝的恩典﹕甚至我們的信心都是恩賜（弗2﹕8-9）
All of this is out of God’s grace: even our faith is a gift (Eph. 2:8-9)
3． 人什麼都不用作？不！我們蒙召，要以善行榮耀祂。（弗2﹕10）
Man does nothing? No! Called to good works to his glory. (Eph. 2:10)
4． 生命、宇宙、救恩的目標﹕榮耀恩典得著稱讚（弗1:6, 12, 14; 羅11: 33-36）
Our life’s goal, the goal of the history of the universe, the goal of salvation, is that God’s glorious grace be praised. (Eph. 1: 6, 12, 14; Rom. 11:33-36)
III． 重生的意義（約3:1-8） Salvation In Us: Meaning of Regeneration (John 3:1-8)
1． 從上頭重生﹕上帝的工作 Born from above: It is God’s work.
2． 從水而重生﹕不是指洗禮，乃是聖靈潔淨我們（約3﹕3，5，8）
Born of water: The Holy Spirit cleanses us (not baptism) (John 3:3, 5, 8)
3． 從靈而重生﹕聖靈賜我們新靈，更住在新靈裏（約3﹕3，5，8）
Born of the Spirit: Holy Spirit gives us new heart/spirit, lives in it (3:3,5,8)
4． 這是新舊約聖經一致的教導（參﹕多3﹕4-7，結36﹕25-27）
This is the consistent teaching of OT, NT (Titus 3:4-7, Ezek. 36:325-27)
IV． 我們的回應﹕悔改的意義 Our Response: Repentnace
V． 我們的回應﹕信心的意義 Our Response: Faith
VI． 一次得救，永遠得救？得救的確據 Once Saved Always Saved: Assurance
