大要理問答167問 如何使我們的洗禮更加有效呢?
王志勇版
167問:如何使我們的洗禮更加有效呢?
答:要使我們洗禮更加有效,是人人常常忽視的當盡的責任,是我們一生一 世都當履行的事,特別是在受試探的時候,當我們出席他人洗禮的時候,更當如此(西2:11-12;羅6:4,6,11)。使我們的洗禮更加有效的方法就是:
(1) 以感恩的心認真地思考洗禮的性質,基督設立洗禮的目的,洗禮所施與並印證的特權和恩惠,以及我們受 洗時所發的莊重誓言(羅6:3-5);
(2) 要因我們的罪污,對洗禮之恩和承諾的虧負、背離而謙卑下來(林前1:11-13;羅6:2-3);
(3) 逐漸確信罪已蒙赦,以及其它在洗禮中所印證的各樣福分(羅4:11-12;彼前3:21);
(4) 從基督的受死與復活中吸取力量,我們受洗是歸入祂,為要我們治死罪,在恩典裏甦醒(羅6:3-5);
(5) 努力靠信心生活(加3:26-27),行事為人 聖潔公義(羅6:22),正如那些在洗禮中把自己的名字交託給基督的人一樣(徒2:38);
(6) 弟兄姊妹彼此相愛,因為我們由同一聖靈受洗,歸入同一身體(林前12:13,25-27)。

問167: 我們應當如何增進我們受洗的益處?
答: 我們受洗之後,一生都要盡責任來增進洗禮的益處,這是必需的,卻常被忽略。特別是在受試探的時候,與當別人受洗而我們在場時,我們更是遵行此責任:
(1) 以認真與感恩的心,來思想洗禮的性質,與基督設立洗禮的目的,洗禮所帶來與印證的福分與特權,以及我們當初受洗時所許的莊嚴誓願;
(2) 謙卑悔改,為我們自己的犯罪玷污、軟弱跌倒辜負、偏行己路違背洗禮的恩典,以及我們受洗時的承諾;
(3) 長大成熟,更加確信此聖禮向我們印證的赦罪恩典,以及其他一切恩福;
(4) 我們受洗是歸入基督,我們要從祂的死與復活得力量,以治死罪與靠恩典復生;
(5) 竭力因信而活,在聖潔公義中說話行事為人,正如藉洗禮已將自己的名歸屬基督的人一樣;
(6) 弟兄姐妹彼此相愛,在愛中行事,因為我們都是從同一位聖靈受洗,成為一體。

Q. 167. How is baptism to be improved by us?
A. The needful but much neglected duty of improving our baptism, is to be performed by us all our life long, especially in the time of temptation, and when we are present at the administration of it to others; by serious and thankful consideration of the nature of it, and of the ends for which Christ instituted it, the privileges and benefits conferred and sealed thereby, and our solemn vow made therein; by being humbled for our sinful defilement, our falling short of, and walking contrary to, the grace of baptism, and our engagements; by growing up to assurance of pardon of sin, and of all other blessings sealed to us in that sacrament; by drawing strength from the death and resurrection of Christ, into whom we are baptized, for the mortifying of sin, and quickening of grace; and by endeavoring to live by faith, to have our conversation in holiness and righteousness, as those that have therein given up their names to Christ; and to walk in brotherly love, as being baptized by the same Spirit into one body.

Proof Scripture Verses
[1068] Colossians 2:11-12. In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. Romans 6:4, 6, 11. Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.... Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.... Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
[1069] Romans 6:3-5. Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection.
[1070] 1 Corinthians 1:11-13. For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul? Romans 6:2-3. God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
[1071] Romans 4:11-12. And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also: And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised. 1 Peter 3:21. The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
[1072] Romans 6:3-5. Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection.
[1073] Galatians 3:26-27. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
[1074] Romans 6:22. But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
[1075] Acts 2:38. Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
[1076] 1 Corinthians 12:13, 25. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.... That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.
