「完全的地步 Press on to Maturity」

蘇惠智 牧師

希伯來書 Hebrews 5:1-10

希伯來書 Hebrews 5.11-6.12
吃稀飯的基督徒,不知分辨好歹。
Immature Christians cannot distinguish good from evil.
追求成熟的聖徒,離開道理初步。
Growing saints leave behind the basic teaching about Christ.
承受應允的信徒,要堅信和吞忍。
The faithful inherit the promises through faith and patience.
繼續我們的善工,上帝正在動工。
Let’s keep up the good works for God is working in us.
阮真愛恁逐個人對頭到尾保持熱心,互恁所向望的會完全實現。 按呢恁才 貧憚,才會學許個對信及吞忍來承受上帝應允的人。
And we want each one of you to show the same diligence so as to realize the full assurance of hope to the very end, so that you may not become sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
(希伯來 Hebrews 6:11-12)
