1-9節--初信者的陷阱

加拉太書 第3章

「發生了甚麼事？」保羅驚呼著說，「是否有人給你們唸了咒語？你們怎麼把我所教導的真理完全忘記？你們是初信的信徒，必須緊守這個簡單而直接的福音真理。」

這種情況豈不是在今天也常常出現嗎？通常來說，初信者比較渴慕學習真理，所以，當某人帶著權威地教訓他們，尤其是引用聖經的權威來作出教導，他們便很容易會全盤接收。

我們應該學習昔日的保羅，要歇力妨止初信者受人迷惑。保羅從來不會因為初信者誤入歧途，而指斥他們不再是基督徒，反之，他提醒他們要反省以下問題：

你們是怎樣得救的？

你們是怎樣領受聖靈的？

你認為自己如何才能在基督成長？

你們過往一直甘願為基督受苦，如今，你們是否仍然愛祂和忠於祂呢？

這些都是非常適切的問題。我們今天可以同樣用這些問題，來幫助那些被邪教、律法主義或其他極端教派迷惑的初信者，去釐清他們的信仰。他們的答案，將可以讓你明白他們的屬靈光景。

保羅的答案始終是訴諸聖經的真理。他用亞伯拉罕來提醒他們──他是在受割禮之前便信了神(跟外邦人一樣)，之後他才受割禮(跟信神的猶太人一樣)。「亞伯拉罕信神，這就算為他的義」(6節)。在他得稱為義之後很久，神才吩咐他行割禮並頒賜律法，所以，他完全是因信稱義。

當我們跟隨亞伯拉罕的腳蹤，因信而得著神的稱義，我們便是亞伯拉罕的真後裔了。而且，除了因信稱義之外，便再無別的得救途徑。

牢記：

信心是得救的唯一條件；

基督是得救的唯一根基。

WHAT CAN HAPPEN TO NEW CHRISTIANS?

Whatever happened? says Paul. Did someone cast a spell over you? Why have you forgotten what I told you? As new Chris- , tians you should have gone on believing the simple, straightforward gospel

It often happens even today, doesnt it? New Christians are eager to learn all they can. When they hear someone speaking in an authoritative way, supposedly from the Bible, they tend to accept what is said.

Paul did what we need to do today to try to help believers who have been led astray. He never said they were no longer Christians. His questions were:

1. How were you saved? 2. How did you receive the Holy Spirit? 3. How do you think you were supposed to grow in Christ? 4. You were willing to be persecuted for Christ. What happened to your love and loyalty for Him?

Those are all good relevant questions. They could be used today to try and help new believers who are being tempted by either a false cult, or by legalists or other extremists. Their answers may help you know exactly where they are at spiritually.

Pauls final appeal is again to the truth of the Scriptures. He reminded them of Abraham - the man with the first dual citizenship. He was a believing Gentile before he became a believing Jew. He believed God, and it (that belief) was credited to him (by God) as righteousness.

That was long before either circumcision or the law were given. He was saved by faith and by faith alone.

We are the true children of Abraham, when we follow in his footsteps of faith. There never has been any other way of salvation.

REMEMBER: FAITH - THE ONE CONDITION FOR SALVATION.

CHRIST - THE ONL V GROUND OF SALVATION.
