The Order of Salvation
救世之序

CALLING  呼叫

The outward call  外向电话

• God addresses all men in what we call ‘natural revelation’ Psalm 19:1-3, Romans 1:18-23, 32, 2:14-15, 10-18.
  上帝通过我们所说的“自然启示”向所有人发表讲话 《诗篇》19:1-3，《罗马书》1:18-23, 32, 2:14-15, 10-18.
• But He has chosen to save His people through the preaching of the Gospel. 1 Corinthians 1:21, Romans 1:16, 10:17
  但他选择通过福音的传讲来拯救他的子民。哥林多前书 1:21，罗马书 1:16，10:17
• But not everybody who hears the Gospel accepts it.
  但并不是每个听到福音的人都接受它。

• the same message is preached to all Romans 10:13.
  相同的信息传给所有人 罗马书 10:13。
• there is nothing in the message itself which stops a man from accepting it
  消息本身没有什么能阻止一个人接受它

The reason is not in the nature of the hearers:-
听众的性质并不是原因所在：-

• all of them are equally dead, spiritually Ephesians 2:1
  他们在属灵的方面都是同样的死了，以弗所书 2:1
• all of them are naturally anti-God Romans 8:7-8
  所有人天生都是反对上帝的 罗马书 8:7-8
• all of them, left to themselves, would certainly never accept the saving Gospel, but would perish in their sins 1 Corinthians 2:14.
  他们都任性自用，肯定不会接受拯救的福音，而是会在自己的罪恶中灭亡 1 哥林多前书 2:14。

The reason IS that some are effectually called, and some are not Matthew 22:14
有些人实际上被召唤了，有些人没有 马太福音 22:14

• all are called by the same message but not all are ‘called out’ by it
  所有人都接到同样的信息，但并不是所有人都被它“召唤”
• only some receive the call which actually united them to Christ Colossians 1:9
  只有一些人接受了真正使他们与基督联合的呼召 歌罗西书 1:9
• it is a miracle - like Lazarus they hear the Divine summons, and are actually brought to Christ by it (GOD calls!)
  这是一个奇迹——就像拉撒路一样，他们听到了神圣的召唤，并且真的因此被带到了基督面前（上帝呼叫！）
• another illustration and example of this call is Zaccheus
  另一个关于这个呼召的例子是 Zaccheus
• to be called is to be a Christian Romans 1:6-7, Ephesians 4:1
  被称为基督徒 罗马书 1:6-7, 以弗所书 4:1

The effectual call  有效的呼召

• this special and inward call is referred to in Romans 8:30, 1 Corinthians 1:9, 2 Thessalonians 2:13-14, 2 Peter 1:10,
  这个特殊和内在的呼召在罗马书 8:30、哥林多前书 1:9、帖撒罗尼迦后书 2:13-14、彼得后书 1:10 中提到，
• it is an act of God, and of God alone 1 Corinthians 1:9, 2 Timothy 1:8-9
  这是上帝的行为，只属于上帝 1 Corinthians 1:9, 2 Timothy 1:8-9
• it is specifically attributed to God the Father - Romans 8:30, 1 Corinthians 1:9, Galatians 1:15, Ephesians 1:17-18, 1 John 3:1
  它特别归因于上帝父亲 - 罗马书 8:30，哥林多前书 1:9，加拉太书 1:15，以弗所书 1:17-18，约翰一书 3:1
• it is given in time because it was planned in eternity Romans 8:28-30, 2 Timothy 1:9,
  它是及时给出的，因为它是在永恒中计划的 罗马书 8:28-30，提摩太后书 1:9，
• Ephesians 1:4 it is all part of God’s purpose in Christ.
  以弗所书 1:4 这都是 神在基督里的旨意的一部分。
• once it is given, it is never withdrawn Romans 11:29
  一旦赐下，就永不收回 罗马书 11:29
• it is high, holy, and heavenly - Philippians 3:14, 2 Timothy 1:9, Hebrews 3:1
  它是高尚的、神圣的、天国的 - 菲立比书 3:14, 提摩太后书 1:9, 希伯来书 3:1

This does not make men and women into mere pawns
这并不会将男人和女人仅仅变成棋子

• No-one is lost or saved against his will. Natural men do not want the Gospel, and called men do!
  没有人会违背自己的意愿被拯救或失落。自然人不想要福音，而被呼召的人则想要！
• Effectual calling is not an act of forcing, but an act of creation. A new nature and a new will are given The called person WANTS to do what he did not want to do before.
  有效的呼召不是强迫的行为，而是创造的行为。赋予了新的本性和新的意志，被呼召者渴望去做之前不愿意做的事情。
• he sees the Gospel as true, as a blind man sees the sun 2 Thessalonians 2:13-14
  他认为福音是真实的，正如一个盲人看到太阳一样 2 Thessalonians 2:13-14
• he sees his unworthiness and guilt before God. Acts 2:37
  他在上帝面前看到了自己的不配和罪孽。使徒行传 2:37
• he is drawn to the Saviour. John 6:44.
  他被吸引到救世主那里。约翰福音 6:44。

• that is the question to decide whether you have been called or not,
  这是一个决定你是否被召唤的问题，
• because TRUE calling always leads to CONTINUING FAITH. 2 Peter 1:10
  因为真正的呼召总会带来持续的信念。彼得后书 1:10

• you are COMMANDED by God’s Word to repent and believe the Gospel.
  你被上帝的话语命令悔改并相信福音。
• if you do not, you will perish
  如果你不这样做，你将会灭亡
• if you do, you will be saved
  如果你这样做，你将会得救
• this will in turn prove that you have been effectually called
  这将反过来证明你已被有效地召唤了
  you can have no such assurance until you have believed.
  你无法获得这样的保证，除非你已经相信了。

Christ died to save those whom His Father had given Him.
基督为拯救他父亲赐给他的人而死。

• the first act is calling, God calls, His people come
  第一幕是呼唤，上帝呼唤，他的子民来了
• but how can dead men hear the call, obey it, and come?
  但是死人怎么能听到召唤，服从它，并前来呢？

Regeneration is the giving of life to the dead.
再生是让死者重获生命。

• it is spoken of this way in Ephesians 2:1, 1 John 3:14, 4:7.
  它在以弗所书 2:1、约翰一书 3:14、4:7 中是这样提到的。
• elsewhere it is spoken of as birth - the giving of life. John 3:3, 68, James 1:18, 1 Peter 1:23.

It is brought about by the Word and the Spirit

• the Word (especially the preached Word) is the means God uses. See how calling and the new birth are intimately linked! 1 Peter 1:23,25, 1 Corinthians 4:15
  圣言（特别是讲道的圣言）是上帝使用的方式。看看呼召和新生有多么紧密相连！ 彼得前书 1:23,25, 哥林多前书 4:15

• Yet the new birth is absolutely essential to salvation, and all spiritual graces flow from it. John 3:3, 5-7, 1 Peter 1:3.
  然而，新生是得救的绝对必要条件，所有的属灵恩典都源于此。约翰福音 3:3, 5-7, 彼得前书 1:3。

• all who are regenerated are inwardly changed and outwardly different (This is because regeneration is the implanting of the new nature, which inevitably asserts itself increasingly in sanctification). Ezekiel 36:25-26, 2 Corinthians 4:6, 5:17, 1 John 2:29, 3:9, 4:7, 5:18
  所有重生的人都在内心发生了改变，在外在上也有所不同（这是因为重生是植入新的本性，这种本性不可避免地在成圣过程中愈发显现出来）。以西结书 36:25-26，哥林多后书 4:6，5:17，约翰一书 2:29，3:9，4:7，5:18

  要清楚地看到这一点，请查看以下成对的经文。使徒行传 3:19-4:4, 10:43-11:18, 17:30-17:34, 26:18-26:20。

• my sin is laid to His account - and He is treated as if He had sinned my sin. 2 Corinthians 5:21.
  我的罪归到他的账上——他被看待就好像他犯了我的罪。哥林多后书 5:21。
• His perfect righteousness is laid to my account. God treats me as if I had never sinned. I am treated as if I had lived Christ’s perfect life. 2 Corinthians 5:21
  他的完美公义被归到我的账上。上帝对待我就像我从未犯过罪一样。我被对待就像我过着基督的完美生活一样。哥林多后书 5:21

GOD is the Author of justification
上帝是正当化的作者

• do not think that it is your faith which makes you righteous. Faith is not a ‘good work’ which commends us into God’s favour. Faith is not the ground of righteousness
  不要以为是你的信仰使你变得正义。信仰不是一种“善行”，它能让我们获得上帝的恩惠。信仰不是正义的基础。
• the work of Jesus Christ alone is the ground of righteousness. Romans 3:24.

  信仰只是一种工具
