JY Bible Notes 聖經小筆記

Note  說明 Notes from a Thursday Bible study with brother E.B. These notes are my personal summary for study and sharing. 本筆記整理自週四與 E.B. 弟兄查經的內容，為個人整理，供自學與分享使用。 The Existence of God 神的存在 This outline summarizes several classical arguments that help us understand why belief in God is reasonable and coherent. 以下綱要整理幾個經典論證，說明為何相信神是合理且一致的。 ———————————————— 1. The First Truth  第一真理 God is Spirit, infinite and perfect: the source, support, and end of all things. 神是靈，是無限且完全的，是萬有的源頭、維持者與終結。 Scripture reminds us that all things come from Him, exist through Him, and return to Him (Romans 11:36). 聖經提醒我們：萬有都是本於祂、倚靠祂、歸於祂（羅馬書11:36）。 Because God is Spirit (John 4:24), He is not limited by the physical world. 因為神是靈（約翰福音4:24），祂不受物質世界限制。 God is therefore the ultimate first truth. 因此神就是終極的第一真理。 A true first truth must satisfy three tests: 真正的第一真理必須符合三個測試： Universality 普遍性 It must apply to all reality and not only to a limited situation. 它必須適用於一切存在，而不是只適用於某個局部情況。 Necessity 必然性 It must be necess...

  屬靈的帳本｜The Spiritual Ledger ——— 經文 Scripture 我並不求什麼餽送，所求的就是你們的果子漸漸增多，歸在你們的帳上。（腓立比書 4:17） Not that I seek the gift itself, but I seek the fruit that increases to your account. (Philippians 4:17) ——— 保羅真正關心的是果子 Paul’s True Concern Is the Fruit 這節經文出現在保羅感謝腓立比教會餽送的話語中。 This verse appears in Paul’s thanksgiving for the Philippians’ gift. 但保羅特別澄清，他所關心的不是自己的需要。 Yet Paul carefully clarifies that his concern is not for his own need. 他真正看重的，是信徒生命中不斷增長的果子。 What truly matters to him is the growing spiritual fruit in the believers’ lives. ——— 奉獻與屬靈的記帳 Giving and the Spiritual Accounting 「果子漸漸增多」與「歸在你們的帳上」都是帶有記帳意味的商業用語。 “Fruit that increases” and “credited to your account” are both terms drawn from financial accounting. 保羅借用這種語言說明一件屬靈的事。 Paul uses this familiar language to describe a spiritual reality. 奉獻不是單向的流出，而是在神面前被記念、被累積。 Giving is not a one-way loss, but something remembered and accumulated before God. ——— 果子不是交易 Fruit Is Not a Transaction 這並不是功德思想，也不是用金錢換祝福。 This is not merit-earning, no...

Based on an English article (E.B.) 根據英文資料整理翻譯 Title: There Is No Promised Land Today 題目：今日已沒有「應許之地」 Many people connect modern political Israel with the “promised land” mentioned in the Bible, especially when conflicts occur in the Middle East. Whenever war breaks out in that region, speculation about biblical prophecy often increases. However, many of these ideas come from misunderstandings of Scripture rather than from careful reading of the Bible itself. 許多人在談到中東衝突時，常把現代的政治國家以色列與聖經中的「應許之地」直接連在一起。每當該地區爆發戰爭時，關於聖經預言的各種推測也會隨之增加。然而，許多這樣的觀念其實來自對聖經的誤解，而不是對經文本身的仔細理解。 In the Old Testament, God promised Abraham that his descendants would receive the land of Canaan (Genesis 12:7; 15:18). Some people believe that this promise has never been completely fulfilled and still applies to the modern nation of Israel today. However, the Bible itself states that the promise was fulfilled when the Israelites entered and possessed the land. 在舊約中，神曾應許亞伯拉罕的後裔要得著迦南地（創世記 12:7；15:18）。有些人認為這個應許從未完全實現，因此仍然適用於今天的...

一、認為不是每個基督徒都需要傳福音 Thinking that not every Christian needs to preach the gospel 大使命是給所有門徒的命令（太28:19–20） The Great Commission was given to all disciples (Matthew 28:19–20) 基督徒應當結果子並分享福音（羅1:13–15） Christians are expected to bear fruit and share the gospel (Romans 1:13–15) 如果前人不傳福音，我們今天也不會聽見福音 If earlier believers had not shared the gospel, we would never have heard it ──────────────────────── 二、認為傳福音不是我的恩賜 Thinking evangelism is not my gift 傳福音是言傳身教，不是特殊技能 Evangelism is sharing truth through life and words, not a special skill 神給信徒不同恩賜，但人人都要參與事奉（羅12:6–8） God gives different gifts, yet all believers are called to serve (Romans 12:6–8) 恩賜是為建立基督的身體（弗4:7–12） Spiritual gifts are given to build up the body of Christ (Ephesians 4:7–12) ──────────────────────── 三、認為自己沒有足夠的聖經知識 Thinking one lacks enough Bible knowledge 有些人因為對聖經不熟悉而不敢傳福音 Some hesitate to evangelize because they feel unfamiliar with Scripture 學習聖經最好的方法之一，就是去教導別人 One of the best ways to learn Scripture is by teaching others 當我們分享信仰時，...

標題：傳道者的心志 The Heart of a Preacher 使徒行傳 8:4 「那些分散的人往各處去傳道。」 Acts 8:4 “Those who were scattered went everywhere preaching the word.” 傳福音不是一時的衝動，而是一種清楚而堅定的心志。 Preaching the gospel is not an impulse but a deliberate resolve. ──────────────── 一、為主捨己 Self-Sacrifice for the Lord ──────────────── 捨己的榜樣 Examples of Self-Sacrifice （1）舊約的榜樣 Old Testament Examples 摩西 寧可與神的百姓同受苦，也不願享受罪中之樂。 （來 11:24-26；出 32） Moses He chose to suffer with God's people rather than enjoy the pleasures of sin. (Hebrews 11:24-26; Exodus 32) 耶利米 忠心傳講神的話，即使被拒絕、逼迫仍不退縮。 （耶 26:1-15） Jeremiah He faithfully proclaimed God's word despite rejection and persecution. (Jeremiah 26:1-15) 但以理與三位朋友 即使面對死亡威脅，仍拒絕向偶像屈膝。 （但 3:8-18；6:1-23） Daniel and His Three Friends They refused to bow to idols even under threat of death. (Daniel 3:8-18; 6:1-23) ──────────────── （2）新約的榜樣 New Testament Examples 彼得 面對逼迫仍宣告：「順從神，不順從人，是應當的。」 （徒 4:18-21；5:29-33；12:1-4） Peter He boldly declared, “We must obey God rather than men,” even under persecution...

註記 Note 本文內容整理自我在 Brother G 的聖經課（Bible class）中的課堂筆記，經過個人整理與排版，用於學習與記錄之目的。 The content of this article is based on my notes from Brother G’s Bible class, organized and formatted for study and record. I. What do people believe in this life 人在今生依靠什麼作為信仰的標準 1. Scripture 聖經 Objective – the only authoritative standard 客觀標準——唯一具有權威的標準 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God. (2 Tim 3:16) 聖經都是神所默示的。（提摩太後書 3:16） 2. Tradition 傳統 Subjective 主觀標準 Passed down from generation to generation 一代一代傳承下來 Catholic authorities 天主教的權威來源 Pope 教宗 Bible 聖經 Traditions 教會傳統 3. Experience 經驗 Subjective 主觀標準 Dreams, feelings, assumptions 夢境、感覺、推測 Need to be adjusted by Scripture 必須由聖經來修正 All subjective standards must be calibrated by the Bible 一切主觀標準都必須由聖經校準 4. Reason 理性 Subjective 主觀標準 If we misunderstand the Scripture, we will reason wrongly. 如果我們誤解聖經，我們的推理就會錯誤。 e.g. we are not saved by works — self-merits or Old Testament regulations 例如：人不是靠行為得救——指人的功德或舊約律法制度 e.g. we are not saved by faith only, but by obed...

前言（先把方向定準） This is the framing (so we don’t get lost). 這個題目不該被「一句話」草率處理；聖經給的不是廉價安慰，而是把我們帶回神的屬性、人的責任、以及永恆的盼望。 This question should not be handled with a one-liner; Scripture gives direction rooted in God’s nature, human responsibility, and eternal hope. 來源 Sources: https://truthfortheworld.org/blog/2025/11/01/trials-the-will-of-god ———————————————————— 原因一：因為神給人自由意志，所以也容許人選擇的真實後果 Reason 1: God granted human free will, so He allows real consequences of real choices. 神造人不是機器人；若沒有真正的選擇，就沒有真正的愛與順服。 God did not create robots; without genuine choice there can be no genuine love and obedience. 但自由意志的代價是：人可能選擇悖逆；罪因此進入世界，帶來破壞、痛苦、疾病與死亡。 The cost of freedom is that humans may choose rebellion; sin enters and brings destruction, pain, disease, and death. 因此，神「容許後果」不是冷血，而是自由意志本身的必要配套；否則自由就成了假的。 Allowing consequences is not cruelty; it is the necessary counterpart of real freedom—otherwise “freedom” is counterfeit. 來源 Sources: https://apologeticspress.org/why-does-god-allow-diseases-to-occur-3367/ ht...
