加拉太书第2章

2022年8月31日

读经内容:加拉太书第2章

默想分享:

为什么因信称义这么重要?因为如果我们是因为行为得救的话,基督就徒然为我们死了。换句话说,基督的死就没有任何意义了。受不受割礼不是得救的凭据,所以保罗没有勉强提多受割礼。保罗坚持“因信称义”的真理,就是对福音真理的坚持。感谢神,让这福音如今可以藉着耶稣基督来到外邦人的中间!使我们这些原本与神国无份的罪人也可以得到被拯救的机会。

保罗说,神呼召彼得成为犹太人的使徒,神也感动他,成为外邦人的使徒。这对于初代基督徒领袖来说,是一件十分不易的事情。因为初代基督徒领袖,耶稣的门徒们都是犹太人。犹太人原本是与外邦人是没有来往的,更不要说要向他们传福音了。但是有保罗的启示,又有彼得的异象,初代领袖们被圣灵感动,也知道这是神的心意,所以并没有局限在自己过去的宗教歧视中,而是差派保罗和巴拿巴往外邦人那里传福音。

然而,作为人,也总是有人的缺陷。即使是早期的领袖们,耶稣的门徒彼得,也会犯错。保罗指出彼得因为怕坚持行割礼的犹太人,就与外邦人分开吃饭了。其余的犹太人也随他一起装假,甚至巴拿巴也随伙装假。(2:13)保罗在加拉太书信中公开说明此事,就是说明他的心中坦荡磊落,没有什么好遮掩的,也不觉得得罪了彼得有什么,只要与福音的真理不合,他就会指出来。

从别的书信中我们也可以看到,彼得也并没有因为保罗当众给他难堪就对保罗怀恨在心。彼得仍然将保罗视为“我们亲爱的弟兄。”(彼得后书3:15)彼得的谦卑和保罗为了真理不留余地让我们认识到,在教会中,同工的配搭是多么的重要!最重要的是要在基督里彼此同心合一,为了同一个标杆而跑。保罗为真理指出彼得的错误,虽然不留情面,却是为了真道,不是出于私心。

我们这些已经在基督里白白得到称义恩典的人,就要有基督的样式。因为“我已经与基督同钉十字架,现在活着的不再是我,乃是基督在我里面活着;并且我如今在肉身活着,是因信 神的儿子而活;他是爱我,为我舍己。(加拉太书 2:20 和合本)”

 

思考与应用:因信称义给我们的生活带来怎样的改变呢?

祷告:亲爱的主耶稣,你是爱我,为我舍己。愿我的生活全部为你而改变,为你而活,阿们!(转发请注明TCAC, 谢谢!)
