如何接受基督?


哥林多前書 1:30 上帝又使他(耶穌基督)成為我們的智慧、公義、聖潔、救贖。
你可能問:「認識耶穌意味著什麼?」或「祂帶給我們什麼?」
回答是:當你理解使徒寫在哥林多前書1:30的經文時,你就認識基督了。
當你理解如下時,你就完全理解了:
上帝讓耶穌基督成為我們的智慧、公義、聖潔、救贖。因為你的智慧是該死的愚蠢,你的義是該死的罪惡,你的聖潔是該死的污穢,你的拯救是該死的該死。當你在上帝和所有受造物面前覺得自己實在是一個愚蠢的罪人、十分該死的不潔淨的人,當你發現自己的言語、全心、行為都沒有任何其他的安慰和拯救,只有上帝給你的基督。就是你相信祂,在他裡面,與祂相交,得到祂的份。你唯獨相信祂的義可以保全你,你呼求它,依靠它。這個時候你就得到基督了。 —— 馬丁路德 (AE 42:58)

禱告:
天父上帝啊!感謝你,把你獨生兒子賜給像我這樣的卑鄙罪人,使我得安慰,得拯救。求賜我常在主耶穌裏面,與祂相交,跟隨祂。奉主耶穌基督的名。阿們。


1 Corinthians 1:30 And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption
You may ask, 「What does it mean to know Christ? Or, what does he bring us?」 Answer: You learn to know Christ when you comprehend the words of the Apostle recorded in I Corinthians 1 [:30], 「Christ was given to us by God to be our wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption.」 You comprehend this fully when you realize that all your wisdom is damnable stupidity, your righteousness damnable unrighteousness, your purity damnable impurity, your redemption miserable damnation; and when you thus discover that before God and all creatures you are actually a feel, a sinner, an unclean and condemned man, and when you show not only with words but also with all your heart and your deeds that you are left with no other comfort and salvation than the fact that Christ is given you by God and that you believe in him and partake of him, whose righteousness alone can preserve you, as you appeal to it and rely on it. (AE 42:58)
