聖靈與我們的心同證我們是神的兒女。 羅馬書8:16
一個罪人,因為聖靈的進入,才能夠知道神已經赦免了自己,能夠從心中知道如今自己是神的兒女,人和神的關係才轉變:
你們所受的不是奴僕的心,仍舊害怕;所受的乃是兒子的心,因此我們呼叫:“阿爸!父! 羅8:15
引用一段屬靈書籍上某前人的解釋:
The true conviction which believers have of the word of God, of their
own
salvation, and of religion in general, does not spring from the
judgment of the flesh, or from human and philosophical arguments,
but from the sealing of the Spirit, who imparts to their
consciences such certainty as to remove all doubt. The foundation
of faith would be frail and unsteady, if it rested on human
wisdom; and therefore, as preaching is the instrument of faith,
so
the Holy Spirit makes preaching efficacious.
教義本身是一個人屬靈認識總結的知識,不能代替聖靈改變一個人心中的不信,卻可以麻木一個不信者的良心,讓未從聖靈得到確實的信心的人暫時相信自己已經得救了。但是,如這位作者說的,這種根基是脆弱不穩定的,因為依靠的是人的智慧。
所以,我必須要回到聖靈來談得救,讓教義口號派們的無知全部顯露出來。
