改革宗视角解释(旧文整理 04) / A Reformed Perspective (Archive 04)
2026-05-18这就是改革宗理解这段经文非常重要的中心。
This is very important to the Reformed understanding of this passage.
基督徒最大的奖赏不是房子。
The Christian’s greatest reward is not a house.
不是土地。
It is not land.
不是财富。
It is not wealth.
甚至首先也不是天堂。
It is not even heaven first of all.
最大的奖赏是基督自己。
The greatest reward is Christ Himself.
十、“来世得永生”是什么意思?
X. What Does “Eternal Life in the Age to Come” Mean?
这里必须避免另外一个误解。
Here we must avoid another misunderstanding.
耶稣不是说:
Jesus is not saying:
我们因为舍弃很多东西,所以靠功劳换取永生。
We earn eternal life because we sacrificed many things.
改革宗对此非常明确:
Reformed theology is very clear on this point:
称义唯独本乎恩典、唯独借着信心、唯独因着基督。
Justification is by grace alone, through faith alone, because of Christ alone.
以弗所书 2:8–9
Ephesians 2:8–9
“你们得救是本乎恩,也因着信;这并不是出于自己,乃是神所赐的;
You are saved by grace through faith. This does not come from yourselves; it is God’s gift.
也不是出于行为,免得有人自夸。”
It is not the result of works, so that no one can boast.
因此:
Therefore:
舍弃不是永生的价格。
Sacrifice is not the price of eternal life.
舍弃是信心的果子。
Sacrifice is the fruit of faith.
十一、为什么真正相信的人愿意舍弃?
XI. Why Is a True Believer Willing to Give Things Up?
因为他发现了更大的宝贝。
Because he has discovered a greater treasure.
耶稣用了一个非常美丽的比喻。
Jesus gave a beautiful parable.
马太福音 13:44
Matthew 13:44
“天国好像宝贝藏在地里,人遇见了就把它藏起来,欢欢喜喜地去变卖一切所有的,买这块地。”
The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man finds it, he joyfully sells all he has and buys that field.
注意:
Notice:
这个人不是痛苦地卖掉一切。
The man does not sell everything merely in misery.
而是:
Rather:
“欢欢喜喜地。”
“With joy.”
为什么?
Why?
因为他发现:
Because he discovers:
所得的远远超过所舍弃的。
What he gains is far greater than what he gives up.
十二、摩西就是一个很好的例子
XII. Moses Is a Good Example
希伯来书 11:24–26告诉我们,摩西宁可和神的百姓一同受苦,也不愿暂时享受罪中之乐。
Hebrews 11:24–26 tells us that Moses chose to suffer with the people of God rather than enjoy the temporary pleasures of sin.
他放弃了埃及王宫的地位。
He gave up the status of Egypt’s royal court.
从世界的角度来看,他亏大了。
From the world’s perspective, he suffered a huge loss.
但是圣经说:
But Scripture says:
“因他想望所要得的赏赐。”
“Because he was looking ahead to his reward.”
这正是信心的眼光。
This is the perspective of faith.
世界只计算今生。
The world calculates only this life.
基督徒计算永恒。
The Christian calculates eternity.
十三、改革宗还要强调:这是“已然、未然”
XIII. Reformed Theology Also Emphasizes the “Already and Not Yet”
神的国已经借着基督临到。
The kingdom of God has already come through Christ.
但是神国最终的完全还没有来到。
But the final fullness of the kingdom has not yet come.
