威斯敏斯特大要理問答

86問：無形教會的會員在榮耀里與基督相交，在死後立即享受的有哪些？

答：無形教會的會員在榮耀里與基督相交，在死後立即享受的，是：他們的靈魂在那時就成為完全聖潔，被接入天上至高之處，在那光明與榮耀之處，他們得見神的面，等候他們的身體完全得贖；他們的身體在死時，繼續與基督聯合，在墳墓中安睡，等候末日時重新與他們的靈魂結合。

反之，惡人的靈魂在死時，被丟入陰間，在至深的黑暗與痛苦中存留；他們的身體被拘禁在墳墓里，直到復活與審判的大日。

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問；有關復活，我們所當信的是什麼？

答：我們當信：在末日死人都要復活，包括義人與不義之人；那時還存活的人，在剎那間都要改變。安置在墳墓中死人的身體，因着基督的大能要復活，重新與他們的靈魂結合直到永遠。

義人的身體，因着基督他們的元首已經從死里復活，就借着基督的靈，將復活成為大有能的、屬靈的、不朽壞的身體、與祂的榮耀身體相似。惡人的身體將復活成為羞辱的身體，因為他們得罪主基督，祂叫他們復活受審判。

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問：復活之後，立即發生什麼事情？

答：復活之後，立即開始向天使與世人，執行最終的大審判。那日子那時辰，沒有人知道，以致眾人都要儆醒禱告，隨時預備好，等候主的降臨。

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問：在審判的日子，惡人所要遭到的是什麼？

答：在審判的日子，惡人將被置於基督的左邊，並且依據確實的證據，和他們自己良心的完全認罪，就被公開宣判他們遭到可怕卻公義的定罪；然後他們就被逐離開神的施恩同在，與基督、聖徒、並所有天使的榮耀團契隔絕；他們被拋進地獄，身體靈魂遭受無法描述的痛苦，與魔鬼及其使者一同受刑罰直到永遠。

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.
