受稱頌的信心
「這些人都是因信得了美好的證據……」 來11:39
2011 - 10 - 31
These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them , and embraced them , and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. in faith: Gr. according to faith
11:14 說這樣話的人是表明自己要找一個家鄉。
For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.
11:15 他們若想念所離開的家鄉，還有可以回去的機會。
And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.
11:16 他們卻羨慕一個更美的家鄉，就是在天上的。所以 神被稱為他們的 神，並不以為恥，因為他已經給他們預備了一座城。
But now they desire a better country , that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.
11:39 這些人都是因信得了美好的證據，卻仍未得著所應許的；
And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:
11:40 因為 神給我們預備了更美的事，叫他們若不與我們同得，就不能完全。
God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect. provided: or, foreseen
希伯來書第11章所列出的人深信神會實現其應許。
他們的榜樣激勵我們憑信往神那裏去。他們盼望救主降臨，
信心是滿心相信地回應神。信心使我們下定決心面對各樣困難，
信心乃建基於耶穌基督和祂的工作。我們可面對自己的罪過，
禱告
主耶穌，求祢使我們對祢的信心日增。© 2008 - 2011 普世佳音

FAITH COMMENDED
"These were all commended for their faith . . . ." Hebrews 11:39
The people listed in Hebrews 11 believed God would fulfill the promises he'd made. Their faith kept them going even though they did not see all the promises completely fulfilled. They were "commended for their faith" and blessed by God. Some of them saw some promises come true, but none of these people saw the promise fulfilled in Jesus Christ. They died before Jesus appeared on the earth.
Their examples encourage us to come to God in faith. They looked forward to the Savior's coming just as we look forward to his second coming.
Faith is responding to God in complete trust. Faith gives us the determination to face every difficulty, never giving up on God. Faith is the confidence to keep persevering through life's ups and downs, believing in the continuing presence of God in our lives. Faith is living with confidence in God's faithfulness to make good on all of God's promises.
Faith is grounded in Jesus Christ and his work. We can face our guilt and sin because we are justified by faith in Christ, who died to take away our sin. We can stand shoulder to shoulder with believers who have faced opposition and say, like Martin Luther, "Here I stand. I can do no other. God help me." Our faith is in what God does, not what we do. To God be the glory!
PRAYER
Lord Jesus, help our faith in you to increase each day. By your Holy Spirit give us the courage to stand up for you when we face opposition. In your name we pray. Amen.
