信主的道 The Way of Faith

罗马书 10：6－13 Romans 10:6-13

惟有出於信心的义如此说：你不要心里说：谁要升到天上去呢？ 就是要领下基督来；谁要下到阴间去呢？ 就是要领基督从死里上来。他到底怎么说呢？ 他说：这道离你不远，正在你口里，在你心里。就是我们所传信主的道。你若口里认耶稣为主，心里信神叫他从死里复活，就必得救。因为人心里相信，就可以称义；口里承认，就可以得救。经上说：凡信他的人必不至於羞愧。犹太人和希腊人并没有分别，因为众人同有一位主；他也厚待一切求告他的人。因为凡求告主名的，就必得救。

6 But faith's way of getting right with God says, "Don't say in your heart, 'Who will go up to heaven?' to bring Christ down to earth. 7 And don't say, 'Who will go down to the place of the dead?' to bring Christ back to life again." 8 In fact, it says, "The message is very close at hand; it is on your lips and in your heart."

And that message is the very message about faith that we preach: 9 If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved. 11 As the Scriptures tell us, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced." 12 Jew and Gentile are the same in this respect. They have the same Lord, who gives generously to all who call on him. 13 For "Everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved."

信心的道路是就摁到道路，也是与神和好的道路。这是一个在思想里想到可能－ 不是不可能 －的道路，就是，神从他天上的宝座上下来与人相居是可能的。这就是“道成肉身”的教义；既基督成为人。（6-7节) 信心的信息是很靠近！它已在我们的口里 － 我们承认耶稣是主，而在我们的心里，我们相信 －神已经将他死里复活了！这样我们就得救了。 （8－9节）这是第二个教义，既复活的教义。

我们心的相信，像亚伯拉罕的信心，让我们与神和好。我们在人的面前以嘴承认基督使我们得救。所以，“凡信靠主的人必不至于羞耻。”（10－11节）这是就摁的教义。所以在耶稣基督的十字架下是平地；不分高低。一切的不平都消失了，没有种族，言语，性别，皮肤颜色，等的分别。神与“信心”看待每个人。给他们救恩的主是一位；凡求靠他的名，他答应拯救他们。这是“因信称义”的教义了！(12-13节)

The way of faith is the way to salvation and righteousness with God. It is a way that thinks not of impossibilities, but of possibilities – that it is possible for God to descend from his heavenly throne and dwell among humans. This is called the doctrine of Incarnation; that Christ was incarnate in human flesh. (vv.6-7) The message of faith is very near! It is on our lips – we confess – that Jesus is Lord, and in our hearts, we believe – that God has raised him from the dead, and we are saved. (vv. 8-9) This second doctrine is the doctrine of Resurrection.

Our heart’s belief, like Abraham’s reckons us righteous before God. Our mouth’s confession of Christ before men seals our salvation, of what we truly believed. Thus, “whoever trusts in the Lord will never be ashamed.” (vv. 10-11) This is called the doctrine of Salvation. Therefore, at foot of the cross of Jesus Christ, it is even ground, there is no distinction in race, language, gender, skin color, etc. Everyone is treat based on “faith” (trust). The Lord who gives them salvation is the same Lord, and whoever calls upon his name, he promised to save. This is the doctrine of Justification by faith! (vv.12-13)
