8彼后一1 耶稣基督的奴仆和使徒西门彼得,写信给那些因我们的神和救主,耶稣基督的义,与我们分得同样宝贵之信的人。
82 Pet. 1:1 Simon Peter, a slave and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have been allotted faith equally precious as ours in the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ.
9罗十17 可见信是由于听,听是借着基督的话。
9Rom. 10:17 So faith comes out of hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.
10旧约所有得胜的圣徒不过是信心的见证人,但耶稣乃是信心的创始者〔来十二2〕。祂是信心的发起者、开创者、源头和因由。照我们天然的人,我们没有信的能力,我们凭自己没有信。那叫我们得救的信,乃是我们从主所得宝贵的信(彼后一1)。当我们仰望耶稣,祂这赐生命的灵(林前十五45)就将祂自己,将祂信的成分,灌输到我们里面;这样,自然而然地,有一种信在我们里面升起,我们就有信心相信祂。这信不是出于我们自己,乃是出于那将自己作信的成分,分赐到我们里面,替我们信者的。因此,乃是主自己作我们的信。我们因着祂作我们的信而活,所以我们是因着祂的信(加二20),不是因着我们自己的信而活(新约总论第十三册,一五八至一五九页)。
10All the overcoming saints in the Old Testament are only witnesses of faith, whereas Jesus is the Author of faith [Heb. 12:2]. He is the Originator, the Inaugurator, the source, and the cause of faith. In our natural man we have no believing ability. We do not have faith by ourselves. The faith by which we are saved is the precious faith that we have received from the Lord (2 Pet. 1:1). When we look unto Jesus, He as the life-giving Spirit (1 Cor. 15:45) transfuses us with Himself, with His believing element. Then, spontaneously, a kind of believing arises in our being, and we have the faith to believe in Him. This faith is not of ourselves but of Him who imparts Himself as the believing element into us that He may believe for us. Hence, He Himself is our faith. We live by Him as our faith; that is, we live by His faith (Gal. 2:20), not by our own. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, p. 3827)

Today's Reading
11耶稣是信心的创始者和源头,也是信心的首领、开拓者和先锋。……祂所过的生活是信心的生活,所行的道路是信心的道路。在祂的生活和道路上,祂开创了信心。……祂开了信心的路,并作了先锋,领先开拓这路。……祂在一生中,在地上的行径里,作了信心的创始者;又在荣耀里,在天上的宝座上,作了信心的成终者;当我们仰望祂时,祂就将所创始并成终的信心,传输甚至注入我们里面。
11As the Author and the source of faith, Jesus is also the Leader, the Pioneer, and the Forerunner of faith…The life He lived was a life of faith, and the path He walked was a path of faith. In His life and path He originated faith. He cut the way of faith and, as the Forerunner, took the lead to pioneer it…As we look to Him as the Originator of faith in His life and in His path on earth, and as the Perfecter of faith in His glory and on His throne in heaven, He transfuses and even infuses us with the faith that He originated and perfected.
12在我们自己里面,我们没有信心。……不信是在我们构成的血轮里。所以,我们在自己里面无法够上新约对信心的要求(罗一16)。……以弗所二章八节清楚告诉我们,那叫我们得救的信,并不是出于我们,乃是我们从神所得的恩赐。神是信心的源头和赐与者,我们乃是这神圣恩赐的领受者。神把一个东西放在我们里面,这就成了我们的信。彼后一章一节说,我们“分得同样宝贵之信”。信心是宝贵的,因为是神给我们的恩赐。我们越转向神并接触祂,我们就越有信心。
12In ourselves we do not have faith…Unbelief is the fiber of our constitution. Hence, in ourselves it is impossible to meet the New Testament requirement of faith (Gal. 1:16). Ephesians 2:8 tells us clearly that the faith through which we were saved is not of ourselves. We have received it as a gift from God. God is the source and Giver of faith, and we are the recipients of this divine gift. God has put something into our being which becomes our faith. Second Peter 1:1 says that we “have been allotted faith equally precious.” Faith is precious because it has been given to us as a gift by God. The more we turn to God and contact Him, the more faith we have.
13根据新约的启示,信就是基督自己。基督自己就是信,所以使徒保罗说到信耶稣基督(罗三22),神儿子的信(加二20),信基督(腓三9)。信是新约独一的要求,就是基督自己灌输到我们里面,成为我们相信的成分和能力,使我们相信祂,并相信一切神圣、属灵、属天的事物。所以信是在基督里,也是出于基督。换言之,信就是基督自己作我们相信的元素和能力。
13According to the New Testament revelation, faith is simply Christ Himself. Because Christ Himself is faith, the apostle Paul speaks of the faith of Jesus Christ (Rom. 3:22), the faith of the Son of God (Gal. 2:20), or faith in Christ (Phil. 3:9). Faith, which is the unique requirement of the New Testament, is Christ Himself being transfused into us to become our element and ability to believe in Him and in all the divine, spiritual, and heavenly things. Hence, faith is the faith in Christ as well as the faith of Christ. In other words, faith is simply Christ Himself as our believing element and ability.
14正确的传福音,乃是陈明基督这活的人位供我们仰望。当我们仰望祂,祂这活的人位就铭刻在我们里面,不仅在我们的心思和心里,也在我们全人最深处的灵里。……当基督这活的人物注入我们的心思和心里,至终达到我们的灵,祂对我们就变得宝贵,使我们渴望接受并得着祂。这就是信,也可说是相信。这信的成分和能力注入我们里面,我们便呼求主名。当我们听见福音,并看见基督这活人位的神圣景象,我们里面便生发出对基督这美妙人物的珍赏和反应。这就是活的耶稣注入到我们里面,成为我们的信。所以,祂是我们信心的创始者,祂是我们信的成分和能力的起源、起始(新约总论第十三册,一五九至一六一页)。
14A proper preaching of the gospel is a presentation of Christ as a living person whom we may look upon. When we look upon Him, He as the living person is impressed into us, not merely into our mind and heart but also into the deepest part of our being, our spirit…When Christ as the living figure is infused into our mind and our heart, eventually reaching our spirit, He becomes precious to us, and we desire to accept and receive Him. This is faith, or believing. We are infused with this believing element and ability, and we call upon the name of the Lord. When we hear the gospel and see Christ as a living person in a divine scenery, our appreciation of, and reaction to, Christ as a wonderful figure arises within us. This is the living Jesus infused into us to become our faith. Therefore, He is the Author of our faith; He is the origin and the origination of our believing element and ability. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, pp. 3827-3829)

今日要点
16主题:为着奔跑赛程,经历耶稣是我们信心的创始者
16
17引经:彼后一1罗十17
17
181.耶稣是信心的创始者:
18
19A.我们需要看见,在来十一章所提到旧约得胜圣徒,祂们不过是信心的见证人,而耶稣乃是信心的创始者,所以,要奔跑属天赛程,我们要望断、要经历、享受的这一位基督,根据来十二2,乃是信心的创始者,创始者这字,又译为发起者、开创者、源头和因由,也是信心的首领、开拓者和先锋,祂所过的生活是信心的生活,所行的道路也是信心的道路,祂开创了信心,作了先锋。
19
20B.虽然我们得救之后被称为信徒,但照着我们天然的人,我们凭着自己没有信,没有信的能力,信徒的信实际上不是他们自己的信,乃是基督进到信徒里面作他们的信,我们信是我们对基督的珍赏,作为我们对祂吸引所起的反应,罗十17说,『可见信是由于听,听是借着基督的话』,我们听见基督的话,就受到吸引,使我们珍赏基督,这就使信作到我们里面。
20
212.信不是出于自己,乃是出于祂将信的成分传输到我们里面:
21
22A.彼后一1说,『耶稣基督的奴仆和使徒西门彼得,写信给那些因我们的神和救主,耶稣基督的义,与我们分得同样宝贵之信的人』,当我们望断以及于耶稣,祂这赐生命的灵就将祂自己,将祂信的成分,分到我们里面,灌输到我们里面,这样,自然而然就有一种信在我们里面升起,使我们能相信祂,也可以说,这信不是出于我们自己,而是出于祂自己替我们信的。
22
23B.在我们自己里面,没有信心,不信是在我们的血轮里面,我们在自己里面无法构得上新约对信心的要求,我们只要转向神并接触祂,信就会作为神给我们的恩赐,分给我们,使我们越过越有信心,得以奔跑前面的赛程,所以,信就是基督自己,信是在基督里,也是出于基督,信就是基督自己做我们相信的元素和能力。
23
24应用:我们不该自信,该看见自己没有信,甚至是小信的人,我们需要不断地转向神并在生活中不断地接触祂,好使祂把信传输到我们里面,而使我们能够不凭眼见,只凭信心来奔跑基督徒的赛程。
