11-24節--保羅的見證

加拉太書 第1章

我們從報章經常讀到有關毀謗的新聞；但這其實並非今天所獨有。在加拉太教會的一些猶太人，由於要維護本身的立場，便不單攻擊保羅所傳講的福音，更恣意毀謗他。

他們藐視他，質疑他作使徒的位分。他們曲解他所宣講的福音，也攻擊他對外邦人的事奉。我們在這?看到保羅的部分回應──他透過講述自己的見證，來表明自己的生命如何得著改變，並證明確是神差派他作使徒的職分。

聽別人講述自己如何在罪中得蒙神拯救的見證，實在很能激盪人心。保羅首先告訴我們，他在大馬色路上遇見主之前是個怎麼樣的人。他說：「你們都知道我是個怎樣的人。我並非在基督徒家庭中長大。反之，我憎恨基督，憎恨教會。我試圖用盡方法來摧毀它。作為正統派的猶太人，我自問比其他同齡的年青人更熱心。我不單做足律法的一切要求，而且還逼迫基督徒。

「但是在某一天，我遇見了基督，發現我從前所謹守的所謂『義』，在神眼中原來是毫無價值的。於是，我接受基督，成了一個新造的人。你們如果想證明福音本是神拯救人的大能，只要看看我的生命和基督對我的改變就可以了。還有別的『福音』可以成就這事嗎？你們知道是沒有了。

「你們既然關心我的使徒職分，那麼，你們知道我信主之後，接著發生甚麼事情嗎？神帶領我去到阿拉伯的沙漠住了三年，在那段期間，神親自教導我明白舊約聖經的意思。我終於明白舊約聖經的許多經文，原來都是預表基督。而且，我在那?領受了我所傳講的信息，以及神親自呼召我作使徒。後來，我去到耶路撒冷的教會，全教會都為到神在我身上的作為稱讚神。對於我所傳講的福音，你們還需要其他證明嗎？」

我們今天能否反思：神如何改變你的生命，以致你可以藉此來證明福音的大能？神的本意是希望福音能改變你。你經歷到這種改變嗎？別人能否在你的生命中看見耶穌呢？

PAULS PERSONAL TESTIMONY

Character assassination is all too common today isnt it? But it is nothing new. That is exactly what the Jews in Galatia were doing to the apostle Paul in order to justify their position and destroy his teaching of the gospel.

They belittled his standing as an apostle. They perverted his gospel and spoke against his ministry to the Gentiles. Here is part of his answer - his own testimony of his changed life.

Isnt it thrilling to hear a man tell his story of how Christ saved him from a life of sin? Paul tells us first of all what he was like before Christ met him on the road to Damascus. You know what I was like. I wasnt brought up in a "Christian home". I hated Christ. I hated the church. I tried to destroy it in every way possible. And as an orthodox Jew, I was ahead of even other young men of my own age group. I did everything the Law demanded and more besides!

Then one day I met Christ and I discovered that all my righteousness (so-called) was like filthy rags in Gods sight. I accepted Christ and I became a new creation. If you want proof that the gospel is the power of God unto salvation, just think of my life and the change Christ has made. Can any other gospel do that? You know it cant.

Are you concerned about my standing as an apostle? Do you know what I did next? God led me into the deserts of Arabia for three years and He taught me what the Scriptures (the Old Testament) are all about. I saw Christ in them everywhere. That is where I got my message and it was God himself who called me to be an apostle. When I finally went up to Jerusalem, the whole church praised God because of what He had done in my life. Do you want any more proof than that about the gospel?

Can we ask ourselves today - what changes has God been allowed to make in our lives which are real proof of the power of the gospel? That is His desire. Is it ours? Can others see Jesus in us?
