什麼是基督教?/ What is Christianity?

什麼是基督教?耶穌基督。沒有多,沒有少。祂是恩典。祂是真理。還有什麼可以加上恩典與真理?沒有!也沒有可以拿走的。如果我們是耶穌的肢體,耶穌完全在我們心裡,我們就有恩典和真理在內滋潤我們的信,結屬靈的好果子,沒有多出來,也沒少什麼。

律法完成在耶穌裡,不能在我們。因它是死亡的執事,死亡的毒鉤是罪,罪的力量是律法 (心態)。把律法加在恩典有如毒藥滴在新酒,將律法分開由自己的遵守有如喝那殺信心的毒藥。

讓我們定睛仰望耶穌,祂是我們信心的創始與成終。祂是 alpha 與 omega。他值得我們的盡心,盡性,盡意,盡力,尋找祂,仰望祂,深愛祂。Amen


What is Christianity? Jesus Christ. Nothing more, nothing less. He is grace. He is truth. What more can one add to grace and truth? Nothing; neither can one take away from it. If we are bodies of Christ, and our hearts are filled with Him, we also have grace and truth in us that is the source of our faith and good works, nothing more to add, and nothing to take away.
Law is fulfilled in Christ, and not possible in us. For it is the ministry of death, the sting of death is sin, and strength of sin is law (mentality). Adding law to grace is like dripping poison to new wine; and separating law unto us is drinking poison that kills faith.

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, for He is the alpha and the omega, and He deserves 100% of our heart, soul, mind and strength in finding and beholding Him. Amen

James
