MSITN VITAL DOCTRINES – SALVATION

“Just as Abraham ‘believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.’ Therefore know that only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham.”

Galatians 3:6-7

THE MAKE-UP OF THE GALATIAN BELIEVERS

1. There were believers with Jewish ethnic origins.

2. There were also believers who were Gentiles.

DEALING WITH BELIEVERS WITH A JEWISH BACKGROUND

1. The things that Jewish believers had a high regard for:

a. The Law of Moses.
b. Abraham, the father of Israel.

2. The Jews who came from Jerusalem to Antioch.

a. They were not sent by the Church in Jerusalem.
b. But they obviously had significant influence on the Jews in Antioch.

3. They had subtly suggested that all believers, especially Gentiles, must follow Jewish adherence to the Law of Moses.

4. Paul regarded their teachings as:

a. A different gospel.
b. Their gospel was a false one.
c. It would result in being in bondage to the Jewish interpretation of the Law.

CITING THE FAITH OF ABRAHAM

1. The Scriptures had this to say about the salvation of Abraham.

The patriarch Abraham “believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”

a. This text was drawn from Genesis 15:6.
b. The example of Abraham was very clear and strong.
i. He believed God.
ii. And on account of his faith, “it was accounted for righteousness”.
c. This was the very Gospel message that Paul had been preaching faithfully.
i. Justification by faith in God.
ii. Righteousness is imputed by God to the believer.
iii. Righteousness is not obtained by the keeping of the law.

2. Who are the true sons of Abraham?

a. The Jews from Jerusalem would claim that every Jew is a true son of Abraham.
b. Paul argues otherwise.
i. Those who have faith in God, as Abraham had, are the true sons of Abraham.
ii. This was a truth that Paul proclaimed and defended strenuously.

我夜间的歌曲：重要教义-救恩
经文：加拉太书 3: 6-7

“正如“亚伯拉罕信神，这就算为他的义”。 所以你们要知道：那以信为本的人，就是亚伯拉罕的子孙。”

《加拉太书 3：6-7》

加拉太信徒的组成

1. 有犹太血统的信徒

2. 也有外邦的信徒

与有犹太背景的信徒打交道

1.犹太信徒最重视的东西:

a. 摩西的律法

b. 亚伯拉罕，以色列之父

2. 从耶路撒冷来到安提阿的犹太人

a. 他们不是由耶路撒冷的教会派来的

b. 但他们显然对安提阿的犹太人影响重大

3. 他们巧妙地建议所有信徒，尤其是外邦人，必须象犹太人遵守摩西的律法

4. 保罗认为他们的教导:

a.非福音

b. 是虚假的福音

c. 将导致受制于对犹太人律法的解释

引用亚伯拉罕的信心

1. 关于亚伯拉罕的救恩，圣经有这说法

正如“亚伯拉罕信神，这就算为他的义”

a. 这段经文取自创世记 15:6

b. 亚伯拉罕的榜样非常清楚和有力

i. 他相信上帝

ii. 因他的信心,“算为义”

c. 这就是保罗忠实地传讲的福音信息

i. 因信上帝称义

ii. 义是上帝归给信徒的

iii. 义不是因靠守律法得来的

2. 谁是亚伯拉罕的真正子孙？

a. 来自耶路撒冷的犹太人会声称每个犹太人都是亚伯拉罕真正的子孙

b. 保罗并不这么认为

i. 那以信为本的人，就是亚伯拉罕的子孙

ii. 这是保罗所宣扬并极力捍卫的真理
