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。

It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age 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. 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. 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!
