什麼是義人

詩篇 第15章

聖經經常談及要成為「義人」，我們可能會問：怎樣才算是義人呢？最簡單的一個答案是：義人是與神和好，蒙神悅納的人。當然，人之所以與神和好、他之所以蒙神悅納，完全是因為耶穌基督的緣故。我們唯獨在基督裡和藉著基督，才能得蒙神的悅納。

然而，聖經還告訴我們，人的生活言行，會顯出他已經與神和好。這正是大衛在這篇詩所描述的。

試想像大衛問了第一節的問題之後，便坐下來默然思索；終於到了腦海出現答案之後，他便默默地寫下了往後的四節經文。他怎麼說呢？他指出義人會有五方面的表現，同時又不會做五件事。你試著把它們找出來吧！

義人是一個生活坦蕩蕩和誠實無偽的人，絕不會口是心非。他小心擇友，言而有信，即使履行承諾會使他吃虧，他也在所不惜。他為人慷慨，處事老實。

要做到這幾點，實在並不容易。例如店員給我們找多了錢，我們會怎麼辦呢？最近我便有過類似經驗，當我把找多了的五塊錢交還給店員時，他顯得非常驚訝，在連聲致謝的同時，卻又對我的行動感到費解。他可不知道，我若然希望自己與基督和好，就一定要這樣做的啊！我們並非靠這些德行來賺取神的悅納，反之，卻是要以行動來表明我們已經蒙神的悅納和已經屬乎祂。

大衛在第5節指出，我們若學效這種做人方式，我們的心就必得安息。按照聖經的形容，未得救的人總是浮躁不安的；然而，聖經卻提醒得救的人，他們可以得知自己在神裡面已得著安穩，他們的心寧也可得著安息。

反思：

我若不表明自己的基督徒身分，我身邊的人能發現我是基督徒嗎？

What Do We Mean by A Righteous Man?

Bible Reading: Psalm 15

So much is said in the Bible about being righteous that we might ask who is a righteous man? The simplest answer is this: A righteous man is one who is right with God and has been accepted by him. Of course this is only because of Jesus Christ. We are accepted by God in and through Christ alone.
But the Bible also teaches that a man will show he is right with God by his daily life. That is what David is saying in this Psalm.

Can you imagine David asking the question in the first verse, then sitting and quietly putting down four more verses just as they come to his mind? What does he say? Count them up for yourself. There are five things that a righteous man is or does and five things that he is not or does not do.

A righteous man is one whose life is open and honest. He does not say one thing when he means something else. He is very careful who his friends are. He keeps his promise, even if it means he loses by doing so. He is generous with his money and honest in all his dealings.

But those things are not always easy to do. What if someone gives us more change in a shop than they should? A man did that to me recently and when I handed him back the extra five dollars, he was absolutely surprised. While he thanked me, he wondered why I did it. I had to do it, if I wanted to be right with Christ myself. We dont do these things to be accepted by God. We do them to show that we have been accepted by him and belong to him.

David says in verse 5 that if we follow this pattern, our hearts will be at rest. The Bible pictures the unsaved as restless, but reminds the saved that they can know what it is to rest securely in God and be at peace in their own hearts.

A Question:

Can people around me see that I am a Christian without my telling them?
