威斯敏斯特大要理问答

86问：无形教会的会员在荣耀里与基督相交，在死后立即享受的有哪些？

答：无形教会的会员在荣耀里与基督相交，在死后立即享受的，是：他们的灵魂在那时就成为完全圣洁，被接入天上至高之处，在那光明与荣耀之处，他们得见神的面，等候他们的身体完全得赎；他们的身体在死时，继续与基督联合，在坟墓中安睡，等候末日时重新与他们的灵魂结合。

反之，恶人的灵魂在死时，被丢入阴间，在至深的黑暗与痛苦中存留；他们的身体被拘禁在坟墓里，直到复活与审判的大日。

Q. 86. What is the communion in glory with Christ which the members of the invisible church enjoy immediately after death?

A. The communion in glory with Christ which the members of the invisible church enjoy immediately after death, is, in that their souls are then made perfect in holiness, and received into the highest heavens, where they behold the face of God in light and glory, waiting for the full redemption of their bodies, which even in death continue united to Christ, and rest in their graves as in their beds, till at the last day they be again united to their souls. Whereas the souls of the wicked are at their death cast into hell, where they remain in torments and utter darkness, and their bodies kept in their graves, as in their prisons, till the resurrection and judgment of the great day.

87问；有关复活，我们所当信的是什么？

答：我们当信：在末日死人都要复活，包括义人与不义之人；那时还存活的人，在刹那间都要改变。安置在坟墓中死人的身体，因着基督的大能要复活，重新与他们的灵魂结合直到永远。

义人的身体，因着基督他们的元首已经从死里复活，就借着基督的灵，将复活成为大有能的、属灵的、不朽坏的身体、与祂的荣耀身体相似。恶人的身体将复活成为羞辱的身体，因为他们得罪主基督，祂叫他们复活受审判。

Q. 87. What are we to believe concerning the resurrection?

A. We are to believe that at the last day there shall be a general resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust: when they that are then found alive shall in a moment be changed; and the selfsame bodies of the dead which were laid in the grave, being then again united to their souls forever, shall be raised up by the power of Christ. The bodies of the just, by the Spirit of Christ, and by virtue of his resurrection as their head, shall be raised in power, spiritual, incorruptible, and made like to his glorious body; and the bodies of the wicked shall be raised up in dishonor by him, as an offended judge.

88问：复活之后，立即发生什么事情？

答：复活之后，立即开始向天使与世人，执行最终的大审判。那日子那时辰，没有人知道，以致众人都要儆醒祷告，随时预备好，等候主的降临。

Q. 88. What shall immediately follow after the resurrection?

A. Immediately after the resurrection shall follow the general and final judgment of angels and men; the day and hour whereof no man knoweth, that all may watch and pray, and be ever ready for the coming of the Lord.

89问：在审判的日子，恶人所要遭到的是什么？

答：在审判的日子，恶人将被置于基督的左边，并且依据确实的证据，和他们自己良心的完全认罪，就被公开宣判他们遭到可怕却公义的定罪；然后他们就被逐离开神的施恩同在，与基督、圣徒、并所有天使的荣耀团契隔绝；他们被抛进地狱，身体灵魂遭受无法描述的痛苦，与魔鬼及其使者一同受刑罚直到永远。

Q. 89. What shall be done to the wicked at the day of judgment?

A. At the day of judgment, the wicked shall be set on Christ's left hand, and, upon clear evidence, and full conviction of their own consciences, shall have the fearful but just sentence of condemnation pronounced against them; and thereupon shall be cast out from the favorable presence of God, and the glorious fellowship with Christ, his saints, and all his holy angels, into hell, to be punished with unspeakable torments, both of body and soul, with the devil and his angels forever.
