敬虔的生活Sample

应许,应许
信心是指相信你看不到的,信心的奖赏就是看到你所相信的。
—圣奥古斯丁
在主后五世纪的早期,罗马帝国在北非的权威与和平日渐衰落,奥古斯丁的使命就是服务上帝和那时的教会。西哥特人已在410年洗劫了罗马,为了安慰那亲历大地上的繁华与和平消逝的基督徒同胞们,奥古斯丁写下了他那精湛的著作《上帝之城》。很快,汪达尔人就会占领他挚爱的希波城。
希伯来书第11章是一份具有齐备信心的英雄名录,他们聆听并相信上帝那些惊人的应许,即使他们在亲见那荣耀成就之前就已经去世。“这些人都是因信得了美好的证据,却仍未得着所应许的;因为上帝给我们预备了更美的事,叫他们若不与我们同得,就不能完全。”(希伯来书11:39-40)
上帝也给了你一连串的不可置信的应许,许多都是肉眼无法觉察到的。虽然我们都十分清楚自己的各种罪行,但藉着洗礼,我们所有的罪都得了洁净。虽然在领圣餐时,我们看到的是面包和红酒,但是那确实也是基督的身体和宝血。上帝亲自在天堂擂鼓,而我们只能从白纸黑字间读到其事迹。因此,只要相信!然后很快就可以亲见。
