真正的信仰，就是不断归正自己 / True Faith Means Continually Reforming Ourselves
2026-08-08真正的信仰，就是不断归正自己
True Faith Means Continually Reforming Ourselves
一、开车需要不断修正方向
I. Driving Requires Constant Correction
就像开车一样，我们必须不断微调方向盘，才能保持在正确的道路上。
Just like driving a car, we must continually make small adjustments to the steering wheel in order to stay on the right road.
即使只是轻微偏离，如果长时间不修正，最终也可能偏离目的地很远。
Even a small deviation, if left uncorrected for a long time, can eventually lead us far away from our destination.
人生如此，信仰更是如此。
This is true in life, and it is even more true in our faith.
二、真正的信仰，不是坚持自己的观点
II. True Faith Is Not Holding Firmly to Our Own Opinions
真正的信仰，不是坚持自己的观点。
True faith is not stubbornly holding on to our own opinions.
真正的信仰，是不断让神的话语修正我们的思想。
True faith is continually allowing God's Word to correct our thinking.
不是让圣经符合我们的想法。
It is not making the Bible fit our own ideas.
而是让我们的思想符合圣经。
It is allowing our minds to conform to the Bible.
罗马书 12:2
不要效法这个世界，只要心意更新而变化，叫你们察验何为神的善良、纯全、可喜悦的旨意。
Do not change yourselves to be like the people of this world, but let God change you inside with a new way of thinking. Then you will be able to understand and accept what God wants for you. You will know what is good and pleasing to him and what is perfect. (Romans 12:2, NCV)
简要说明
这里保罗不是叫我们改变圣经。
Paul is not telling us to change the Bible.
而是叫我们被神的话不断更新。
Instead, he tells us to be continually renewed by God's Word.
归正首先不是改变别人，而是改变自己。
Reformation begins not by changing others, but by allowing ourselves to be changed.
三、改革宗为什么叫"归正宗"
III. Why Is It Called the Reformed Faith?
"归正"并不是一种宗派口号。
"Reformed" is not merely the name of a denomination.
而是不断回到圣经。
It means continually returning to Scripture.
不断回到神的话语。
It means continually returning to God's Word.
不断接受圣经的纠正。
It means continually allowing Scripture to correct us.
宗教改革有一句非常著名的话：
The Protestant Reformation has a famous saying:
Ecclesia Reformata, Semper Reformanda
"已经归正的教会，仍然要不断归正。"
"The church reformed, always being reformed."
这句话真正的意思是：
The true meaning is:
不是改变圣经。
Not changing Scripture.
而是不断按照圣经归正自己。
But continually reforming ourselves according to Scripture.
四、圣经才是最高权威
IV. Scripture Alone Is the Highest Authority
没有任何牧师。
No pastor.
没有任何神学家。
No theologian.
没有任何宗派。
No denomination.
能够代替圣经。
Can replace Scripture.
唯有圣经，是信仰最终的标准。
Only Scripture is the final authority for faith.
提摩太后书 3:16-17
圣经都是神所默示的，于教训、督责、使人归正、教导人学义都是有益的；叫属神的人得以完全，预备行各样的善事。
All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for showing people what is wrong in their lives, for correcting faults, and for teaching how to live right. Using the Scriptures, those who serve God will be prepared and will have everything they need to do every good work. (2 Timothy 3:16–17, NCV)
简要说明
圣经不仅安慰我们。
The Bible not only comforts us.
圣经更会责备我们。
It also rebukes us.
圣经不仅鼓励我们。
The Bible not only encourages us.
圣经也不断归正我们。
It also continually corrects us.
因此，我们一生都需要圣经。
Therefore, we need Scripture throughout our whole lives.
五、归正是一生的过程
V. Reformation Is a Lifelong Process
没有一个基督徒已经完全。
No Christian has already become perfect.
也没有一个教会完全没有错误。
No church is completely free from error.
因此，我们需要不断学习。
Therefore, we must continue learning.
不断查考圣经。
Continue studying Scripture.
不断省察自己。
Continue examining ourselves.
不断归正自己的信仰。
Continue reforming our faith.
雅各书 1:22-25
只是你们要行道，不要单单听道，自己欺哄自己。因为听道而不行道的，就像人对着镜子看自己本来的面目；看见，走后，随即忘了他的相貌如何。惟有详细察看那全备、使人自由之律法，并且时常如此，这人既不是听了就忘，乃是实在行出来，就在他所行的事上必然得福。
Do what God's teaching says; when you only listen and do nothing, you are fooling yourselves. Those who hear God's teaching and do nothing are like people who look at themselves in a mirror. They see their faces and then go away and quickly forget what they looked like. But the truly happy people are those who carefully study God's perfect law that makes people free, and they continue to study it. They do not forget what they heard, but they obey what God's teaching says. (James 1:22–25, NCV)
简要说明
圣经就像一面镜子。
The Bible is like a mirror.
不是照别人。
It is not first for looking at others.
而是照自己。
It is first for examining ourselves.
真正成熟的基督徒，不是天天看别人的问题。
A mature Christian is not always looking at other people's faults.
而是每天让神的话先光照自己。
Instead, he first allows God's Word to shine on his own life every day.
六、爱心中的劝勉，也是归正的一部分
VI. Loving One Another Includes Gentle Correction
真正的爱，不是放任错误。
True love does not ignore error.
真正的爱，是用真理彼此建立。
True love builds one another up with the truth.
真正的爱，是用温柔帮助弟兄姊妹回到圣经。
True love gently helps brothers and sisters return to Scripture.
加拉太书 6:1
弟兄们，若有人偶然被过犯所胜，你们属灵的人就当用温柔的心把他挽回过来；又当自己小心，恐怕也被引诱。
Brothers and sisters, if someone in your group does something wrong, you who are spiritual should go to that person and gently help make him right again. But be careful, because you might be tempted to sin too. (Galatians 6:1, NCV)
简要说明
归正别人之前。
Before correcting others,
先归正自己。
first allow yourself to be corrected.
帮助别人时。
When helping others,
不是骄傲。
not with pride,
而是温柔。
but with gentleness.
因为我们自己也需要神不断归正。
Because we ourselves continually need God's correction.
七、总结
VII. Conclusion
真正的信仰，不是一生坚持自己的观点。
True faith is not spending our lives defending our own opinions.
真正的信仰，是一生不断被圣经归正。
True faith is spending our lives being continually reformed by Scripture.
真正的属灵，不是证明自己永远正确。
True spirituality is not proving that we are always right.
而是愿意谦卑接受神话语的光照。
It is humbly submitting ourselves to the light of God's Word.
正如开车需要不断修正方向盘一样，
Just as driving requires constant steering correction,
基督徒也需要不断调整自己的方向。
Christians also need to continually adjust their spiritual direction.
我们的目标不是跟随人的传统，
Our goal is not to follow human traditions,
不是跟随自己的感觉，
nor our own feelings,
也不是跟随任何人的权威。
nor the authority of any person.
我们的目标只有一个：
We have only one goal:
回到圣经。
To return to Scripture.
效法基督。
To follow Christ.
荣耀上帝。
To glorify God.
