Q2.人当如何方能从罪中得救赎?
经上说:若不流血,罪就不得赦免。
希伯来书证实:
来9:22按着律法,凡物差不多都是用血洁净的,若不流血,罪就不得赦免了。
上古的人是以牲畜的血洒在祭坛上为他们的生命赎罪。因为血里有生命。
利17:11因为活物的生命是在血中。我把这血赐给你们,可以在坛上为你们的生命赎罪。因血里有生命,所以能赎罪。
来9:14何况基督藉着永远的灵,将自己无瑕无疵献给神,他的血岂不更能洗净你们的心〔原文作良心〕,除去你们的死行,使你们事奉那永生神吗?
因此主耶稣对尼哥底母论重生的重要性。
约3:5耶稣说:我实实在在的告诉你,人若不是从水和圣灵生的,就不能进神的国。
因此,彼得长老也劝勉:
彼前1:18-1918知道你们得赎,脱去你们祖宗所传流虚妄的行为,不是凭着能坏的金银等物,19乃是凭着基督的宝血,如同无瑕疵、无玷污的羔羊之血。
故此,人若要从罪中得救赎,必须接受圣灵同证,面向下活水的浸礼,只有圣灵同证,面向下的合法大水洗礼,才有功效洗去人的罪。
今天真耶稣教会的洗礼,正是面向下有圣灵同证的合法大水洗礼。
罗6:23因为罪的工价乃是死。惟有神的恩赐,在我们的主基督耶稣里,乃是永生。
Q2. How can mankind be saved from sins and obtain Salvation?
The Bible says, “And almost all things are by the law purged
with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.” (Hebrews
9:22). Only blood can wash away sins. People in the olden days had to sprinkle
blood of animals on sacrificial altars making atonement for their souls because
there is life in the blood.
Leviticus 17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I
have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it
is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.
Hebrews 9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through
the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience
from dead works to serve the living God?
Therefore, the Lord Jesus Christ discussed with Nicodemus the
importance of regeneration (rebirth). The Lord Jesus Christ answered, “Verily,
verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he
cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” (John 3:5). Elder Peter also
advises saying, “Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with
corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by
tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a
lamb without blemish and without spot:” (1Peter 1:18-19).
Hence, in order for a man to receive redemption from his sins, he
has to receive baptism, in full immersion, with head bowed and with the Holy
Spirit as the witness. The Holy Spirit testifies the effectiveness of such a
baptism.
Today, the baptism conducted in True Jesus Church is the correct
mode of baptism in full immersion, with head bowed and with the Holy Spirit as
the witness.
Romans 6:23: “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God
is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
