今日真道聖言/2013年5月17日
威斯敏斯特信條【第十三章 論成聖】 13.1 凡蒙有效恩召並重生的人,既在他們裏面有了新心和新靈被創造出來,便借着基督的受死和復活1,並祂那在他們裏面內住的聖道和聖靈2,進一步達到個人實際的成聖;罪在我們整個身上的權勢被除滅3,此身的各種邪情私慾也逐漸被削弱、治死4,並且他們在一切與救恩相伴的美德上5越來越清醒、堅固,以致能夠行出真正的聖潔來,因為人非聖潔就不能見主6。@基督徒百科@歌珊地聖經引擎

20問:上帝對人在當初受造的景況時,其護理之工是什麼?
答:上帝對人起初受造時的護理之工,是:
將他安置在樂園中,使他修理看守這園子,賜他可以隨意吃園中各樣樹上的果子;
又將萬物伏在他的治理下,並設立婚姻幫助他;
賜恩使他與上帝相交團契;
設立安息日,與他立下生命之約,以始終完全的順服為條件,將生命樹作為立約的憑據;
並且禁止他吃分別善惡樹的果子,以死亡的痛苦為刑罰。
Q. 20. What was the providence of God toward man in the estate in which he was created?
A. The providence of God toward man in the estate in which he was created, was the placing him in paradise, appointing him to dress it, giving him liberty to eat of the fruit of the earth; putting the creatures under his dominion, and ordaining marriage for his help; affording him communion with himself; instituting the Sabbath; entering into a covenant of life with him, upon condition of personal, perfect, and perpetual obedience, of which the tree of life was a pledge; and forbidding to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, upon the pain of death.
21問:我們的始祖守住起初受造的狀況了嗎?
答:我們的始祖既有意志的自由,因着撒但的誘惑,吃了禁果,違背了上帝 的誡命,就從起初受造的無罪狀況中墮落了(創3:6-8,13;傳7:29;林後11:3)。
Q. 21. Did man continue in that estate wherein God at first created him?
A. Our first parents being left to the freedom of their own will, through the temptation of Satan, transgressed the commandment of God in eating the forbidden fruit; and thereby fell from the estate of innocency wherein they were created.
