(440) 「灵粮主题 TODAY’s Topic」：救恩绝不仅仅只为犹太人 God’s Salvation is Not Just for the Jews

「灵粮经节 TODAY’s Verses」：「保罗说，我不以福音为耻；这福音本是神的大能，要救一切相信的，先是犹太人，後是希利尼人。因为神的义正在这福音上显明出来；这义是本於信，以致於信。如哈巴谷书 2: 4 节经上所记：”义人必因信得生”；Apostle Paul says, for I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed — a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written in Habakkuk 2: 4, “The righteous will live by faith” .」 （罗马书 Romans 1: 16-17 节）

「灵粮分享 TODAY’s Sharing」： 前些读到甘力克牧师 Rev. Nicky Gumbel 在他的圣经日日行理分享了一篇 “你的族谱”。 牧者引用罗马书 Romans 9: 22-24 节，描述神对世人的救恩计划是，“将祂丰盛的荣耀，彰显在那蒙怜悯早预备得荣耀的器皿上。这器皿就是我们被神所召的，不但是从犹太人中，也是从外邦人中”。也就是灵粮主题要分享的，“救恩绝不仅仅只为犹太人”。牧者也敢这么解释道，神的救恩绝不仅仅只为族谱和其犹太人，也是为我们后来的信徒，不分种族，只要信了耶稣都能得救；做神的儿女。所以，牧者最后引用使徒保罗，在他的以弗所书 Ephesians 2: 8-9 节里说的，确定救恩有三个要素：（1）信心 —— 不是靠你的好行为；（2）恩典 —— 是你所不配得的；（3）相信 —— 跟你的血统无关。

「灵粮祷告 TODAY’s Prayer」：因此，今日灵粮也就引用以弗所书 Ephesians 2: 10 节, 鼓励大家在主的爱里相互勉励祷告，神召我们做了他的器皿，给我们救恩工作使命，成了属神的儿女，因为，“我们原是他的工作，在基督耶稣里造成的，为要叫我们行善，就是神所预备叫我们行的。” 感恩祷告奉主名求。阿门 !

Some time ago, I read that Rev. Nicky Gumbel shared a piece of "your genealogy" in his Bible website. Pastor Nicky quoted Romans 9:22-24, describing God's plan of salvation for the world as, "To make known the riches of his glory in the objects or vessels with his merciful grace, that which he had prepared for us with this glory. Not only from among the Jews, but also from among the Gentiles.” That is what the 今日灵粮 Spiritual Food Today will share, "God’s Salvation is Not Just for the Jews". Therefore, the pastor would explain that, God’s salvation is not only for the genealogy with Jews, but also for our later believers, regardless of race, as long as they believe in Jesus, they can be saved and become God’s children. To conclude it, the pastor gathered and quoted the Apostle Paul, who said in Ephesians 2:8-9, that there are three elements to sure salvation: (1) Faith - not by your good works; (2) Grace - is what you do not deserve; (3) believe - has nothing to do with your bloodline.

Therefore, 今日灵粮 Spiritual Food Today will quote Ephesians 2:10, and encourage to pray for each other in the love of our Lord. God has called us as His objects or vessels, giving us the mission of salvation to become children of God, and therefore, "We are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." Pray with thanksgiving in the name of the Lord. Amen !
