福音派的五個標志5 MARKS OF AN EVANGELICAL

作者: Silverio Gonzalez  譯者:  Maria Marta

1.唯獨聖經
我們從聖經學習如何與上帝建立得救的關系。我們信仰與實踐的權威唯獨在聖經裡找到。教會的權威僅限於聖經所教導的內容,教會的權威必須受到聖經的其他經文和明白的理由檢驗。

2.唯獨恩典
救恩自始至終是上帝恩典的工作。人類只能為這種關系帶來抵抗和罪惡。上帝藉著祂的聖言將信心運行在我們身上,使我們願意和能夠愛祂。

3.唯獨信心
我們藉著信靠上帝在耶穌基督裏賜下的應許領受救恩。當上帝拯救我們脫離罪惡、死亡、地獄的時候,祂不考慮我們的行為或功德。

4.唯獨基督
基督是天父與我們中間的唯一中保。唯獨基督的工作配得救恩。

5. 唯獨上帝得榮耀
我們無權自誇我們的行為或品格。我們擁有的一切都是上帝恩典的恩賜。我們無權要求任何榮耀,或認為我們的行為能添加上帝的榮耀。

5 MARKS OF AN EVANGELICAL
Silverio Gonzalez

1. Scripture Alone
In Scripture we learn how to have a saving relationship with God. Our authority for faith and practice is found only in the Bible. The church’s authority is limited to what Scripture teaches, which is to be tested by other passages in the Bible and plain reason.

2. Grace Alone
From beginning to end, salvation is a work of God’s grace. The only thing humans bring to the relationship is resistance and sin. God works faith into us by his Word and makes us willing and able to love him.

3. Faith Alone
Salvation is received by trusting in God’s promise given in Jesus Christ. God takes no consideration of our works or merits when saving us from sin, death, and hell.

4. Christ Alone
Christ is the one mediator between the Father and us. The work of Christ alone merits salvation.

5. God’s Glory Alone
We have no right to boast either in our works or character. All that we have is a gift of God’s grace. We have no right to claim any glory or think that our works add to God’s glory.
