7-13節--你確知自己有永生嗎?
約翰一書 第5章
今天的經文有不少斬釘截鐵的話。請再看第13節。作者清楚指出,我們可以知道自己有永生。然而,許多基督徒仍然對是否得救感到懷疑。你是否確知自己有永生呢?
我們怎能確知呢?
藉著相信神的話。你當初信主的時候,既然相信基督能夠拯救你;那麼,你如今就必須相信神的話語對你所作出的肯定:基督確實已拯救你。倘若你對是否得救感到疑惑,就等於對基督說:「我已經盡了我的責任去決志,但你還未盡你的責任去救我」,這根本不是事實。所以,基督說祂已救了你,你只管相信便行了。
藉著聖靈的見證──羅馬書八章16節。
聖經是神向我們所作的見證。聖靈則在我們心中為神作見證。聖靈告訴我們,我們是屬於神的,同時,當我們做了不該做的事,聖靈也會讓我們知罪。
藉著生命的改變──哥林多後書五章17節。
人若接受基督,他的生命就會出現奇妙的改變。無論是他本人和其他人,都可能需要經過一段時間才看見這改變,但它終究會出現改變,並藉此證明那人已經真正重生。
你是否清楚確知自己是屬乎基督?你是否已決志相信祂?如果你已決志,就放心相信祂的話,你的內心將得著確據。
有福的確據,耶穌屬我!
何等的榮耀,向我顯明!
被救主贖回,為神後嗣,
罪全得洗淨,聖靈再生。

CAN YOU SAY I AM SURE?
Our reading today makes some strong statements. Look at verse 13 again. It says plainly that we can know that we have eternal life. Yet so many Christians still have doubts about their salvation. Are you really sure yourself?
How can we be really sure?
By believing the Word of God. Just as you believed at first that Christ could save you, now you need to believe his Word that he has saved you. If you doubt that he has saved you, when you asked him to do it, you are saying I have done my part and he hasnt done his. Believe what he says to you today.
By the witness of the Spirit-Romans 8:16.
The Bible is Gods witness to us. The Holy Spirit is Gods witness in us. He tells us we belong to God and he corrects us when we do wrong.
By a changed life-2 Corinthians 5:17.
There comes a wonderful change in the life of a person who accepts Christ. It may take some time for that change to be seen by others or by the person themselves, but it will come and will show clearly that that person has been truly born again.
Are you really sure you belong to Christ? You have accepted him, havent you? If so, then believe what he says and assurance will come to your heart.
Blessed assurance Jesus is mine,
Oh what a foretaste of glory of divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of his Spirit, washed in his blood.
