希伯來書6:4-8


6:4 論到那些已經蒙了光照、嘗過天恩的滋味、又於聖靈有分,
6:5
並嘗過上帝善道的滋味、覺悟來世權能的人,
6:6
若是離棄道理,就不能叫他們重新懊悔了。因為他們把上帝的兒子重釘十字架,明明地羞辱他。
6:7
就如一塊田地,吃過屢次下的雨水,生長菜蔬,合乎耕種的人用,就從上帝得福;
6:8
若長荊棘和蒺藜,必被廢棄,近於咒詛,結局就是焚燒。

4 It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, 5 who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age 6 and who have fallen away, to be brought back to repentance. To their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace. 7 Land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is farmed receives the blessing of God. 8 But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless and is in danger of being cursed. In the end it will be burned.

    不管是不是警告或是有這樣的事實,就是有人從真正與上帝有關係的狀態下失落了,失去和上帝的關係。這是非常危險的事情!因為不是上帝不接納他,而是他自己感到沒有資格再回到上帝面前!

    也因此我們要像猶大書所說的:「親愛的弟兄啊,你們卻要在至聖的真道上造就自己,在聖靈裡禱告,保守自己常在上帝的愛中,仰望我們主耶穌基督的憐憫,直到永生。」(20-21)

    要遠離惡事、敬畏耶和華!要心想若不是上帝的恩典,我們怎能夠常常在主的愛中成長與茁壯,與上帝的國有份呢?這一切不是我們努力得來的,是上帝格外的恩典在我們身上!我們豈可輕忽上帝的保守與帶領,任由自己離開上帝呢!
