信心的表现

The Manifestation of Faith

……就可以向神坦然无惧了……——约翰壹书 3:21

…we can come to the Lord with perfect assurance and trust…

—1 John 3:21 (TLB)

    圣经教导我们信心本身体现在三个方面：信心体现在教义上，即你相信什么；信心也体现在敬拜上，即你与上帝的关系和教会团契的关系；信心还体现在道德上，即你的生活方式和行为……圣经也教导我们，信心并不止于你相信基督是你的救主。信心要延续。信心要增长。起初信心可能很小，但随着你开始读圣经，祷告，去教会，并在信仰生活中经历神的信实，这一切都会使你的信心逐渐加强。你会越来越多地学会如何依靠基督去面对每一个需要，每一种环境和每一次试炼。

The Bible teaches that faith will manifest itself in three ways. It will manifest itself in doctrine-in what you believe. It will manifest itself in worship-your communion with God and the fellowship of the church. It will manifest itself in morality-in the way you live and behave. . . . The Bible also teaches that faith does not end with trust in Christ for your salvation. Faith continues. Faith grows. It may be weak at first, but it will become stronger as you begin to read the Bible, pray, go to church, and experience God’s faithfulness in your Christian life. You will learn more and more how to rely on Christ for every need, in meeting every circumstance, and every trial.
