MSITN VITAL DOCTRINES – SALVATION

“You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.”

Galatians 5:4

SEEKING TO BE JUSTIFIED BY LAW

1. The doctrine of Justification is very clearly taught by the Apostle Paul.

a. Justification is a gift from God, whereby a person obtains righteousness.
i. Out of the grace of God.
ii. Out of His mercy.
iii. Out of His love.
iv. Through the death of the Lord Jesus Christ at Calvary.
b. What it takes to receive Justification?
i. Recognition of sin.
ii. Repentance from sin.
iii. Receiving the Lord Jesus gratefully as our Saviour.
iv. Rejoicing in the salvation we have in the Lord!

2. Why do people respond to the teaching of Justification by keeping the Law?

a. Many are not humble enough to receive grace and mercy from God.
b. Many cannot accept that they are sinful in the sight of God.
c. Many think that they can merit salvation based on their good efforts.
d. The feeling of “self-righteousness” is very strong.

3. Two severe implications were highlighted:

a. “Estranged from Christ”
i. This means that the so-called believer is “separated from the Lord Jesus”.
ii. When a couple is said to be “estranged” it means that they are no longer together.
iii. This is the result when one seeks to be justified by the law.
b. The original Greek text is even stronger when taken literally.
i. It means that the individual, the so-called believer has spoken against the Lord Jesus Christ.
ii. This has even more serious implications!

4. Fallen from grace:

a. God has offered His grace and His salvation in the Lord Jesus Christ.
b. To seek to be justified by the law means that the individual has fallen away from this grace of God offered in mercy and love.
c. This is the second serious implication when a person seeks to be justified by the law.

我夜间的歌曲-重要教义-救恩
经文：加拉太书 5

“你们这要靠律法称义的，是与基督隔绝，从恩典中坠落了。”

《加拉太书 5:4》

寻求靠律法称义

1. 称义的教义是使徒保罗非常明确地教导的

a. 称义是来自上帝的赐恩，一个人借此被赐正义

i. 出于神的恩典

ii. 出于祂的怜悯

iii. 出于祂的爱

iv. 借着主耶稣基督在髑髅地舍命
b. 接受称义需要什么？

i. 认罪

ii. 从罪中悔改

iii. 感恩地接受主耶稣为我们的救主

iv. 因我们在主里的救恩而喜乐！

2. 为什么人们以遵守律法来回应称义的教导？

a. 许多人不够谦卑，不愿从上帝得到恩典和怜悯
b. 许多人不能接受他们在神眼中是有罪的
c. 许多人认为他们可以凭着自己的努力获得救恩
d. “自以为是”的感觉非常强烈

3. 强调了两个严重影响：

a. “与基督隔绝”

i. 这意味着所谓的信徒“与主耶稣远离”了

ii. 当一对夫妇被称为“隔绝”时，这意味着他们不再在一起

iii. 这就是一个人寻求靠律法称义的结果
b. 从字面上看，原始的希腊文的意义甚至更强烈

i. 它的意思是一个人，这所谓的信徒，已经反对了主耶稣基督

ii. 这有更严重的影响！

4. 从恩典中坠落了：

a. 神在主耶稣基督里提供了祂的恩典和祂的救恩
b. 寻求靠律法称义意味这个人已经偏离了上帝因怜悯和爱提供的恩典
c. 这是当一个人寻求靠法律称义的第二个严重影响
