(513) 「灵粮主题 TODAY’s Topic」得救的信徒赐有不再受末日审判定罪再死的恩典 Saved Believers are Given the Grace to no Longer Suffer the Judgment, Condemnation and Death of the Last Day.

「灵粮经节 TODAY’s Verses」：「神救了我们，以圣召召我们，不是按我们的行为，乃是按他的旨意和恩典；这恩典是万古之先，在基督耶稣里赐给我们的，但如今藉着我们救主基督耶稣的显现才表明出来了。他已经把死废去，藉着福音，将不能坏的生命彰显出来; (God), He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. 」（提摩太后书 2 Timothy 1: 9-10）

「灵粮分享 TODAY’s Sharing」：荣誉的牧者在今日的分享里，因为他本是加拿大的一个专业会计师，所以他对国家财务和税务报税都非常熟悉。以上今日灵粮所引用的经节，牧者也就试用年终报税纳税做举例，提示每个人在年终报税，若能得有 “退税收益” 那是何等的喜乐。也就像我们作信徒的，若赐有 “不再受末日审判定罪再死的恩典，且得有永生的赏赐”，这也不是一样感到是何等的快乐,能去领取这荣耀神的礼物。我们生长住在每一个文明的国家里，不管政府是谁，只要有良好的执政领导，国泰民安，共产党专制也好，还是民主治理体系，我们做公民该有的责任，都不会忘记年底要报税纳税的紧张气氛与准备。

我们是神的造物，每个人都拥有神在创造过程中的吹气，赐给我们有着的灵与魂在身，人类也都是神所喜悦造成能给他传福音行善事的器皿。另一方面，信徒都被世界公认的是居住在地上做一个国家的好公民，你或许也是教会里的一个良善的肢体会友。大家都知道，当我们岁终去世了，肉体就会被家人埋葬腐坏或是火葬而消失了，但是灵体乃是神起初吹气籍着父母造你出生给的。所以人死了，灵体就会离开身体，被神召回审判问话要你准备交账。人活着的时候，我们就是用自己心殿里的灵与神的灵沟通，约翰福音 4：24 节告诉我们的神就是灵，敬拜他的要用你的心灵，籍着他的神灵位格就像有着无线上网 WIFI的装备一样，人就能向神祷告，通电交往求助做神的好儿女与子孙。在今日灵粮的经节中，使徒保罗提醒告诉我们，神救赎了我们脱离犯罪的代价死亡，是以圣召召我们，不是按我们的行为，乃是按他本有的主权，也就是要我们顺从他的旨意，有着所谓：“神爱谁就爱谁”的一般，最后神就给了他自己的儿子救主耶稣，完成了人类救赎的最后办法，给了我们最终有着的赎罪救恩。

如今我们藉着救主基督耶稣来到世上道成肉身，完成了神给人类救赎的使命于此表明了出来。耶稣已经做了人类献给神的活祭，又能复活将我们所有的罪犯代价，死亡的惩罚完全废去了；藉着福音书记载的救赎记录，将这复活不能腐坏的生命彰显出来。信他的人，能称义得拯救复活过来，也就能与神和好接近，更得有永生的赏赐与神永远同住在一起。所以说，末日审判就像人们在年终报税一样，当人的岁数终结，你的灵体是属于神的，就会被神召离世界，运至白衣宝座前报到。就像报税的情况一样，当被问话审核的时候，耶稣就会认识你，让你不用多说一句就给你过关，因为你已经信他为救主，若你一生到死都能保持圣洁走义路，生命册就有了你的名字，虽然人的软弱遭遇还会跌倒，让耶稣遮盖了你以往一切的过犯和罪恶，免得报税交账，并且还会享有 “退税“ 的幸福，这也就是神在最后留给你将来享有的永生赏赐。

今晨在「纯全喜乐 Pure Joys」里，读到约翰·派博牧师 Rev. John Piper 写了一篇， “基督徒会怎样受审判” 的分享。牧者引用启示录 Revelation 20: 12 节，描述耶稣在启示录预言里，指示他心爱的门徒约翰，用人的眼睛可以看得到死了的人，无论大小，将来都站耶稣穿白衣宝座前受审判，将所有已逝的世人的案卷展开了，并且另有一卷展开，就是生命册。死了的人都凭着这些案卷所记载的，照他们以，前所行的一切受审判报税。若有人名字没记在生命册上，他就要付税被扔在火湖里受永远的痛苦，“要死不得死“ 的惩罚。这也就是「今日灵粮 Spiritual FOOD TODAY」主题所要分享的，好似年终报税紧张的气氛一样。但是耶稣答应，你若是坚信跟他到底保持圣洁走义路，做神称义的儿女，你必得有神保留赐给你的恩典和赏赐，因为, “得救的信徒赐有不再受末日审判定罪再死的恩典” 。

接着，牧者举了许多经节例子与比喻也解释问道：末日审判会是什么情形？我们的罪会被记下来吗？会被揭露出来吗？对于这些问题，神学家何克满 Anthony Hoekema 很有智慧地写道：“… 基督徒的罪将会在审判日呈现出来。但是，重要的是 — 在审判中，基督徒的罪将被视为已经得到饶恕的罪，那些过犯已经完全被耶稣基督的宝血遮盖。”

牧者接着说，想像一下末日审判的画面。神有关于我们每一个人的一份文件，就是启示录 20: 12 节里说到的 “案卷”。所有你在马太福音 12: 36 节里形容的，你曾做过的和说过的，都按着 “优良中差” 的等级记录在案卷中。当你站在基督的审判台前，哥林多后书 5: 10 节里也说了， “各人按本身所行的，或善或恶” 接受审判时，神会打开你的案卷，并展开所有已有考评结果的案卷。他将抽出所有得分 “差” 的案卷，放到一叠。然后他取出所有得分 “良” 或 “中” 的案卷，挑出其中结果优秀的部分，把它们放进 “优秀” 的一叠， “差” 的一叠。接着他再拿起所有得分 “优秀” 的案卷，把其中不好的部分抽出来放进 “差” 的一叠，把做得好的部分放进 “优秀” 的一叠。

然后，神将打开另一个文件，也就是启示录 20：12 节中提到的 “生命册”，找到你的名字。在你的名字后面会有一个由耶稣基督的十字架做成的木条火柴。神拿起这根火柴，点燃它，用它把整个“考评结果差” 的那一叠烧掉，你所有的罪都被烧掉了。它们都不再定你的罪了。

接着，神从你的生命册中拿出一个密封的信封，上面印有 “免费的宝贵的恩典” ，也就好似所得税局里给的免税证，也像马可福音 4: 24节，和路加福音 6: 38 节里描述的，并将它放在 “考评结果优秀” 的那一叠里, 好像有量器一样量 给你们的。最后，主耶稣基督将拿起那一叠案卷，宣告说：“你已经见证了我父的恩典，我宝血的赎价和我的灵的果实。进来享受你主人的快乐吧。” 大家周五快乐，周末愉快！

「灵粮祷告 TODAY’s Prayer」：当一切都说完了，在本篇分享的总结里「今日灵粮 Spiritual Food TODAY」也就引用罗马书 Romans 5: 8-9 节让大家在主的爱里互相祷告、互相勉励。在这节经文中，使徒保罗劝勉展示着我们，说：“惟有基督在我们还作罪人的时候为我们死，神的爱就在此向我们显明了。现在我们既靠着他的血称义，就更要藉着他免去神的忿怒。” 现在我们既然知道：“得救的信徒赐有不再受末日审判定罪再死的恩典”这也就是有的牧者有所谓的，“一次得救就永远得救了”的意思。祈求神帮助我们，能够坚信耶稣的救恩真理，过着持守圣洁称义的人生。祈望我们的心灵能遵守神的旨意，也就是籍着圣灵的引导，行事为人都能讨神的喜悦，免去现在与将来神的忿怒。 奉主名祷告，阿门！

In this Emeritus Worker’s sharing today, because he is a professional accountant in Canada, he is very familiar with national finance and tax filing. In the above verses cited in today’s spiritual food, the pastor also used the example of filing income taxes at the end of the year to remind everyone as to how happy it would be to get the “tax refund benefits” when filing personal returns at the end of the year. Just like us as believers, if we are given “the grace of no longer suffering the judgment, condemnation and death of the last day, but also the reward of eternal life,” we will surely feel happy as we are receiving this gift that glorifies God. We grow up and live in every civilized country, no matter who the government is, as long as there is good governance and leadership, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, whether it is a communist people's democratic or a western democratic governance system, it is our responsibility as citizens that in times of tax stress and preparation, we do not forget to file income tax at the end of the year.

We are God’s creations. Each of us has God’s breath in the creation process, giving us the spirit and soul that we possess. Human beings are also God’s favored vessels that can preach the gospel and do good deeds with others. On the other hand, believers are recognized by the world as living humans on earth and being good citizens of a country. You may also be a good member of the church. As we all know, when we die at the end of the life, our physical body will be buried and rotted by our family members or cremated and disappear. However, our spiritual body is the breath of God who created you and gave us birth through our parents. Therefore, when a person dies, the spirit body will leave the human body and be recalled by God for judgment and questioning, requiring you to prepare to give an account. When humans are alive, we use the spirit in our heart temple to communicate with the Spirit of God. John 4: 24 tells us that God is Spirit, and to worship Him with your spirit in your heart. Through His divine personage, you seem to have wireless Internet access WIFI. With this WIFI like spirit in your heart, people can pray with it, and communicate to God and ask for help, and become good children and descendants of God. In today’s spiritual food verses, the apostle Paul reminds us that God redeemed us from the penalty of sin, death, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His inherent sovereignty, that is, as we obey His will, as the saying goes: "God loves whomever He loves." In the end, God gave His own only son, the Savior Jesus, completing the final method of human redemption and giving us the ultimate atonement and salvation.

Now that our Savior Christ Jesus had come to this world through his becoming a flesh like us, and has completed God’s final mission of redemption for mankind, which is demonstrated here to become a living sacrifice offered to God by mankind, and resurrected to completely abolish the penalty of death for all our sins. Through this redemption as recorded in the gospels, his resurrection and our future incorruptible life is evidenced. Those who believe in him can be justified, saved, resurrected, and reconciled to become close to God, and can have the reward of eternal life to live with God forever. As a result, the Doomsday Judgment is just like people filing income taxes at the end of the year. When a person’s age ends and your living spirit belongs to God, you will be called out of the world by God and transported you to the white throne to report to him. Just like the tax return situation, when you are questioned and audited, Jesus will know you and let you pass without having to say a word, because you have already believed in Him as your Savior, and if you would remain holy throughout your life until death, living in the path of righteousness with your name is in the book of life. Although you may suffer from human weakness and falls, let Jesus cover all your past transgressions and sins, so that you will not have to file taxes and pay accounts, and you will also enjoy the moment with a "tax refund", which is in the end day God leaves you with the reward of eternal life that you will enjoy it forever in the future.

This morning in "纯全喜乐 Pure Joys ", I read the sharing of “How Christians Will Be Judged”, written by Rev. John Piper. Pastor John quoted 启示录 Revelation 20: 12, describing how Jesus instructs his beloved disciple John in the Revelation prophecy that the dead can be seen with human eyes, no matter how big or small, and they will stand in front of Jesus' white-clothed throne to be judged in the future. Opened the records of all the people who have passed away, and opened another volume, which is the book of life. The dead will be judged and taxed according to what they have done in the past, based on what is recorded in these records. If someone's name is not written in the book of life, he will have to pay a tax and be thrown into the lake of fire to suffer eternal pain and death. This is what the theme of "Spiritual FOOD TODAY" is about to share, just like the tense atmosphere of filing income taxes at the end of the year. But Jesus promised that if you firmly believe in following Him to the end and remain holy, walk the path of righteousness, and become a justified child of God, you will have the grace and rewards that God has reserved for you, because “Saved Believers are Given the Grace to no Longer Suffer the Judgment, Condemnation and Death of the Last Day”.

Then, Pastor John cited many verses, examples and parables to explain and ask: What will the last judgment be like? Will our sins be recorded? Will it be revealed? Regarding these questions, theologian Anthony Hoekema wisely writes: “… Christian sin will be revealed on the Day of Judgment. But, importantly — at judgment, Christian sin will be seen as sins that have been forgiven, those transgressions have been completely covered by the blood of Jesus Christ.”

Pastor John went on to say, imagine the scene of the Doomsday Judgment. God has a document about each of us, the “book” mentioned in Revelation 20: 12. Everything you have ever done and said as described in Matthew 12: 36 is recorded in the record book on a scale of “excellent, average, and poor.” When you stand before the judgment seat of Christ, and 2 Corinthians 5: 10 also says, “Each one will be judged according to what he has done, whether good or evil,” God will open your case file and expand all case files with assessment results. He will pull out all the case files with "bad" scores and put them in a pile. Then he took out all the case files that scored "good" or "medium", picked out the parts with excellent results, and put them into the "excellent" pile and the "poor" pile. Then he picked up all the case files that scored "excellent", took out the bad parts and put them into the "bad" pile, and put the good parts into the "excellent" pile.

God will then open another document, the “book of life” mentioned in Revelation 20: 12, and find your name. After your name there will be a stick match made of the cross of Jesus Christ. God takes this match, lights it, and uses it to burn the entire "poor" pile, and all your sins are burned away. They will no longer condemn you.

Then, God takes out a sealed envelope from your book of life with "Free Precious Grace" printed on it, which is like the tax exemption certificate given by the income tax bureau, like those described in Mark 4: 24, and Luke 6: 38 and put it in the pile with "excellent assessment results", as if it were measured for you. Finally, the Lord Jesus Christ will pick it up this stack of books and declare, "You have witnessed the grace of my Father, the ransom of my blood, and the fruits of my Spirit. Come in and enjoy the joy with your Master." Happy Friday and have a great weekend!

When everything is said and done, in the summary of this sharing, "今日灵粮 Spiritual FOOD TODAY" will quote Romans 5: 8-9, allowing everyone to pray and encourage each other in the love of the Lord. In these verses, the apostle Paul exhorts us, saying: “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him! " As we know now: " Saved Believers are Given the Grace to no Longer Suffer the Judgment, Condemnation and Death of the Last Day", so is this what some pastors would conclude it, that "Once saved, always saved". Pray that God will help us firmly believe in the truth of Jesus’ salvation and live a life of holiness and justification. As well, pray that we would obey to follow God’s will, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit in dwelling in our heart, and help our soul and spirit behave in ways that please God and avoid God’s wrath thar may present to us and in the future. Pray in the name of the Lord, Amen!
