上帝啊, 永生神的兒子, was the 長子 新創造的. 耶穌向我們表明順服天父意味著什麼. 雖然耶穌是上帝的兒子, 仍然是, Jesus didn’t learn 服從 to His Father in the comforts of life and through easy circumstances and situations. 在希伯來書 5:8-9 it is written that Jesus learned obedience to His Father by the things which He suffered, and being made perfect, Jesus became the Author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey Him. What does it mean Jesus is the Author of eternal salvation? 耶穌是如何成為永恆救贖的作者?
Jesus didn’t have a privileged position
在他的肉時代誰, 當他向他祈禱和懇求時，他能夠拯救他免於死亡, 並聽到他擔心; though He were a Son, 然而他得知他因他所遭受的事物服從; 並變得完美, He became the Author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey Him (希伯來 書 5:7-9)
雖然耶穌是上帝的兒子, Jesus didn’t have a privileged position. God didn’t spare His Son Jesus from difficult circumstances, 誘惑, 試驗, 迫害, 反抗, hate of the world, 拒絕, false accusations, ETC.
But Jesus had to go through these sufferings, so that Jesus would not only experience the same things as any human being, but Jesus would also learn obedience to His Father.
Jesus went through a lot and suffered a great deal because of the Name of God and His love for His Father (另請閱讀: The suffering and mocking of Jesus Christ).
Jesus could have walked away and become disobedient to His Father, by listening to the words of the devil and obeying the devil, and serving the devil, by giving in to the lusts and desires of the flesh. If Jesus had done that, Jesus would be loved by the world.
But Jesus didn’t listen to the words of the devil and didn’t give in to the lusts and desires of the flesh.
Jesus didn’t bow to the temptations of the devil and his wonderful promises and wasn’t influenced by people. 反而, Jesus chose to stay faithful and obedient to the words of His Father (另請閱讀: 我會給你全世界的財富).
耶穌沒有逃跑
並以時尚的身份被發現, 他謙卑自己, 並服從死亡, 甚至十字架的死亡 (腓立比人 2:8)
Jesus didn’t hide and didn’t run away. But Jesus faced his adversaries, including the devil, and went through difficult circumstances and experienced hardships. Jesus drank the cup of sufferings, which His Father had given Him to drink.
Because Jesus loved God with all His heart, 靈魂, 介意, 和力量, Jesus stayed obedient to His Father and went the way of sufferings.
Because of God’s love for man, God sent Jesus to the earth. And because of Jesus’ love for the Father and for mankind, and His obedience to His Father, Jesus fulfilled God’s mission and Jesus became the Author of eternal salvation for fallen man (另請閱讀: 耶穌恢復了墮落之人的地位).
Jesus became the Author of eternal salvation to those, who obey Him
Jesus didn’t become the Author of eternal salvation to everyone. But Jesus only became the Author of eternal salvation to those, who obey Him; 這個單字 (約翰 1:12). The part ‘unto all them that obey Him’ is often left out and not mentioned, causing many to end up being deceived. But obedience to Jesus Christ is a requirement of eternal salvation.
Only to those, who believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and repent and become born again and yield themselves fully to Jesus by obeying His words, to those Jesus is the Author of eternal salvation.
If you really believe in Jesus and love Jesus, then you shall show your faith in Him and love for Him, by doing what Jesus has commanded you to do.
You shall listen to Jesus and obey and do the words of Jesus, which are the same words as the words of the Father (另請閱讀: 上帝的誡命與耶穌的誡命).
我的綿羊聽到我的聲音, 我知道他們, 他們跟著我 (約翰 10:27)
如果你愛我, 遵守我的誡命 (約翰 14:15)
如果你們遵守我的誡命, 你們要遵守我的愛; 正如我遵守了我天父的誡命, 遵守他的愛 (約翰 15:10)
If you listen to His words and obey His words, you show by your deeds and your life that you truly love Jesus and that you are born of God and belong to Him.
Suffer because of the Name of Jesus
But just like Jesus, you shall not have a privileged position on earth. You shall go through difficult situations and suffer because of the Name of Jesus and learn obedience to Jesus Christ and the Father. Just like Jesus went through sufferings to learn obedience to His Father.
For it became Him for whom are all things, 萬物皆由誰而生, 帶領許多兒子走向榮耀, 藉著苦難使拯救他們的元帥變得完全 (希伯來 書 2:11)
心愛, 認為對您試驗的熱情審判並不奇怪, 好像有些奇怪的事情發生在你身上: 但是很高興, 就像你們一樣是基督痛苦的陣營; 那, 當他的榮耀應被揭示, 你們也可能會很高興.
If ye be reproached for the Name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part He is evil spoken of, but on your part He is glorified. But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters. Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf (1 彼得 4:12-16)
For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ. And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation. And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation (2 哥林多前書 1:5-7)
You shall love the words of Jesus
If you love Jesus and 跟隨耶穌, you shall love His words and follow His words, instead of loving the words of the world and following the words of the world.
You shall believe what the Word says, instead of what the world says.
Instead of belonging to the world and keep walking as the world and participating in sin, you shall belong to God and by staying obedient to Jesus Christ, you shall separate yourself from the world unto God and not be a partaker of sin.
雖然你活在世上, you shall no longer walk like the world in unrighteousness, 但是你要走在公義. Because your nature has changed through regeneration and therefore you don’t want to walk like the world anymore.
God loves you, but the world hates you
You shall speak the words of God and shall do what the Word tells you to do and you shall walk in righteousness. 正因為如此, the world will not like you anymore and you will be hated for saying and doing things that diametrically oppose the words and opinions of the world.
As long as you stay obedient to Jesus Christ and walk in righteousness you shall be the light of the world and you shall expose the works of darkness (罪惡和不義). Even without saying anything, you shall testify that their works are evil (約翰 3:19-20; 7:7).
But this shouldn’t come as a surprise, since Jesus said, that if you decide to believe in Jesus Christ and become a follower of Christ 並遵守他的話, you will become an enemy of the world.
That’s because you shall no longer walk as you did before your repentance and before you became a new creation, as a son of the devil, 誰屬於世界. You don’t have the mind of the world, but by the 更新你的心意 用這個詞, you have the mind of Christ. Therefore you shall no longer think, 像世界一樣說話和做事. But you shall walk as a son of God on this earth, 誰想, 說話, and acts as the Word.
Walking in obedience to Jesus; 這個單字
You shall represent Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of God on earth and produce much fruit for the Kingdom of God, by bringing salvation to the people, who are lost and reconciling them through Jesus Christ and His work of redemption and by His blood, 對上帝. So that Jesus becomes the Author of eternal salvation for them.
You shall give them the Life you possess and redeem them and make them whole by the words you speak. You shall teach them in the Word and make them grow up into mature sons and daughters of God. So that Jesus and the Father will be glorified and exalted, by your obedience to Jesus Christ and your life as a son or daughter of God and through the salvation of many souls.
