COUNTING THE COST
计算代价 – 献身于耶稣
Before a person becomes a Christian, he needs to consider very carefully if he is willing to pay the price that it takes to live the Christian life. We have found this to be especially true in our work among the Chinese people. In the states we might be able to teach a new Christian some things after they become a Christian. The Chinese do not have the religious background that westerners have and therefore they need to fully understand what they are doing.
一个人在成为基督徒之前、他应该先好好的考虑愿不愿意付出过基督徒生活的代价 . 这点在传福音给中国人时是很重要的 . 在美国我们能够等到人在成为基督徒之后才教导他们一些事情、但是中国人并没有像西方人一样的宗教背景 . 所以、在成为基督徒之前需要更清楚的明白他们所要作的事情 .
Every person needs to know that becoming a Christian means entering the Lord's church, not a denomination; and that becoming a Christian carries with it much responsibility. We know that a person who becomes a Christian and then falls away is worse off than one who never knew the truth. “For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning. For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them. But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: A dog returns to his own vomit, and, a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire” (2 Peter 2:20-22). “And that servant who knew his master’s will, and did not prepare himself or do according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. But he who did not know, yet committed things deserving of stripes, shall be beaten with few. For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more” (Luke 12:47,48).
每一个人需要知道成为基督徒的意思是归入主的教会、而不是宗派教会 ; 其实基督徒也必须要付出很多责任 . 我们知道人成为基督徒后又坠落了、是比从来不知道真理的人更不好了 . 『倘若他们因认识主救主耶稣基督，得以脱离世上的污秽，后来又在其中被缠住、制伏，他们末后的景况就比先前更不好了 . 他们晓得义路，竟背弃了传给他们的圣命，倒不如不晓得为妙 . 俗语说得真不错，狗所吐的他转过来又吃；猪洗净了又回到泥里去辊，这话在他们身上正合式』 ( 彼后 2:20-22). 『仆人知道主人的意思，却不豫备，又不顺从他的意思行，那仆人必多受责打；惟有那不知道的，作了当受责打的事，必少受责打；因为多给谁，就向谁多取；多托谁，就向谁多要』 ( 路 12:47,48).
Passages That Emphasize “Counting The Cost”
It would be very helpful for every person who is thinking about becoming a child of God to study passages that urge us to count the cost before making a commitment to God (Matthew 10:32-39; Luke 14:26-33). For people who have counted the cost, we need to encourage them to obey the gospel. “We then, as workers together with Him also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain. For He says: In an acceptable time I have heard you, And in the day of salvation I have helped you” (2 Corinthians 6:1,2). “Come now, you who say, Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit; whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor, that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. Instead you ought to say, If the Lord wills, we shall live, and do this, or that. But now you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. Therefore to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin” (James 4:13-17).
强调『计算代价 – 献身于耶稣』的经节
作决定成为 神的儿女计算代价之前，各人应该研究关于献身于 神的经节 ( 太 10:32-39; 路 14:26-33). 人已经计算代价的话、我们需要鼓厉他们遵守福音 . 『我们与 神同工的，也 劝你们不可徒受他的恩典；因为他说、在悦纳的时候，我应允了你；在拯救的日子，我搭救了你 . 看哪 . 现在正是悦纳的时候；现在正是拯救的日子』 ( 林后 6:1,2). 『嗐，你们有话说、今天明天我要往某城里去，在那里住一年，作买卖得利 . 其实明天如何，你们还不知道 . 你们的生命是甚么呢 . 你们原来是一片云雾，出现少时就不见了 . 你们只当说、主若愿意，我们就可以活着，也可以作这事，或作那事 . 现今你们竟以张狂夸口；凡这样夸口都是恶的 . 人若知道行善，却不去行，这就是他的罪了』 ( 雅 4:13-17).
CONCLUSION
This lesson has been designed to help those who have not yet obeyed the gospel to have a better understanding of what is involved in becoming a child of God and having the hope of heaven (Matthew 7:21-23). It was also presented to help remind those of us who have already obeyed the gospel what we must always remember. “For this reason I will not be negligent to remind you always of these things, though you know and are established in the present truth” (2 Peter 1:12). Further, it was presented to help Christians to teach others these basic truths (2 Timothy 2:2).
结论
我们准备这个课程是要帮助还没有成为基督徒的人更清楚的明白作 神的儿女有天堂的指望 ( 太 7:21-23). 我们也准备这个课程来提醒已经成为基督徒的人应该永远要记住的事情 . 『你们虽然晓得这些事，并且在你们已有的真道上坚固，我却要将这些事常常题醒你们』 ( 彼后 1:12). 并且、我们也准备这个课程来帮助基督徒去教导别人这些基本的真理 ( 提后 2:2).
It is our hope and prayer that every person might be saved and go to heaven. “But also for this reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverence, to perseverence godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins. Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 1:5-11). “who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth” (1 Timothy 2:4). “But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up” (2 Peter 3:10).
我们希望也代祷每一位都得救且上天堂 . 『正因这缘故，你们要分外的殷勤；有了信心，又要加上德性；有了德性，又要加上知识；有了知识，又要加上节制；有了节制，又要加上忍耐；有了忍耐，又要加上虔敬；有了虔敬，又要加上爱弟兄的心；有了爱弟兄的心，又要加上爱众人的心 . 你们若充充足足的有这几样，就必使你们在认识我们的主耶稣基督上不 至于闲懒不结果子了 . 人若没有这几样，就是眼瞎，只看见近处的，忘了他旧日的罪已经得了洁净 . 所以弟兄们，应当更加殷勤，使你们所蒙的恩召和拣选坚定不移 . 你们若行这几样，就永不失脚 . 这样，必叫你们丰丰富富的得以进入我们主救主耶稣基督永远的国』 ( 彼后 1:5-11). 『他愿意万人得救，明白真道』 ( 提前 2:4). 『但主的日子要像贼来到 一样；那日天必大有响声废去，有形质的都要被烈火销化，地和其上的物都要烧尽了』 ( 彼后 3:10).
May God help us to live a faithful Christian life so we might go to heaven (Revelation 2:10; Hebrews 3:14).
我们求 神帮助我们过忠实的基督徒的生活使我们能够上天堂去 ( 启 2:10; 来 3:14).
