圣灵与我们的心同证我们是神的儿女。 罗马书8:16
一个罪人,因为圣灵的进入,才能够知道神已经赦免了自己,能够从心中知道如今自己是神的儿女,人和神的关系才转变:
你们所受的不是奴仆的心,仍旧害怕;所受的乃是儿子的心,因此我们呼叫:“阿爸!父! 罗8:15
引用一段属灵书籍上某前人的解释:
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.
教义本身是一个人属灵认识总结的知识,不能代替圣灵改变一个人心中的不信,却可以麻木一个不信者的良心,让未从圣灵得到确实的信心的人暂时相信自己已经得救了。但是,如这位作者说的,这种根基是脆弱不稳定的,因为依靠的是人的智慧。
所以,我必须要回到圣灵来谈得救,让教义口号派们的无知全部显露出来。
