19-23節--在基督裡復和

歌羅西書 第1章

來到這幾節經文，保羅將重點由基督的位格轉移到基督的工作，特別是祂使神人復和的工作。這是甚麼意思？「復和」包含了和解，以及重新建立關係的意思。基督藉著祂的死，使聖潔的神得以與有罪的人連結起來。自始之後，我們可以回復與神的相交關係，這關係乃是我們的始祖亞當在犯罪之後已割裂的。

有些人把第20節的那句話：「便藉著他叫萬有…都與自己和好了」，解釋為自古至今的所有人都可以得救。然而，我們不可以單用一節經文來建構一套教義。我們必須參考其他經文對有關主題的教導。聖經之中有很多別的經文都指出，不相信基督的人是無法得救的。

基督的受死，意味著所有人都有機會得救；然而，神從不勉強任何人去接受救恩。只有滿足神所定下的條件，神才會賜下祂的救恩。神願意與人復和，但人本身也要主動與神復和。

第22節是保羅非常重視的個人信仰實踐。神的旨意是要我們成為聖潔和沒有瑕疵地進到祂的面前。

我們的責任，是要不斷信靠基督、持定信仰和緊守福音的立場。

第23節的「只要」這兩個字，令到不少人感到困擾。它是指到我們最初相信基督的決志。我們必須在日後的生活中，透過活出基督是我們救主的事實，來證明我們是真正的決志。我們的得救確據，不在於我們抓緊基督，乃在於祂抓緊我們。

我們要記著，信靠基督不是僅此一次的經驗，卻是每天的經歷。我們要藉著神的話語和禱告生活，來堅固我們的信仰。我們是否重視讀經和禱告到一個地步，連一天也不會遺漏？

RECONCILED IN CHRIST

In these verses, Paul turns from the person of Christ to the work of Christ, in particular his work of reconciliation. What does that mean? To reconcile simply means to bring together.

Christs death has made possible the bringing together of a holy God and sinful man. We have been returned to the position of fellowship which was destroyed when Adam our first father sinned.

Some people have tried to make the words in verse 20 to reconcile all things to himself to mean that everyone, every person who has ever I lived will be saved some day. We shouldnt build a teaching on only one verse. We must compare it with other verses on the same subject. Many other places in the Bible tell us that without faith no-one will ever be saved.

The death of Christ means that the opportunity of salvation is available to all but God will never force it on to anyone against that persons will. Salvation only extends to those who fulfill the conditions God has laid down. Man must be as willing to be reconciled as God is willing to reconcile him.

In verse 22 is the personal application which Paul never misses. Gods plan for us is that we might be presented as holy and blameless in his presence.

It is our responsibility to continue in a relationship of faith with Christ, keeping a firm belief in and a strong stand for the gospel.

Many are troubled by that word if in verse 23. It refers to the reality of our first acceptance of Christ. That reality, the fact that we really meant what we said, is proved when we continue daily looking to Christ as our Savior. It is not by our hanging on to him, but by his holding us that our salvation is guaranteed.

Remember, faith in Christ is a daily experience. Our faith is fed by the Word of God and by our prayer life. Are Bible reading and praying so important to us that we plan never to miss out on them even for one day?
