18行传十六章三十一节说,“当信靠主耶稣,你和你一家都必得救。”在这里基督被启示为主耶稣。作为这样的一位,祂是信徒相信的对象,使信徒和他全家得救。相信福音主要是相信耶稣基督。不仅如此,相信就是信靠、依据并根据主耶稣而得救。我们不仅信入基督,也信靠基督。这是依据并根据基督的人位,以及祂所成就的一切,这二者构成神新约经纶的信仰。我们信靠基督作为立场和地位,使我们可以得救(新约总论第九册,二九二页)。
18Acts 16:31 says, “Believe on the Lord Jesus, and you shall be saved, you and your household.” Here Christ is revealed as the Lord Jesus. As such, He is the object of the believer’s faith for the salvation of the believer and his household. To believe in the gospel is mainly to believe in Jesus Christ. Furthermore, to believe is to believe on, to take the ground and stand on, the Lord Jesus to be saved. We believe not only into Christ but also on Christ. This is to take the ground and the standing on the person of Christ and all that He has accomplished, both of which constitute the belief, the faith, of God’s New Testament economy. We believe on Christ as the ground and standing so that we may be saved. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, p. 3003)
