再一次的看見聖靈的能力在教會當中
是因為他們領受了彼得的話並受洗
而受洗的緣故是因為悔改
這一個悔改也使他們的罪得赦免
當彼得勸勉他們說:你們當救自己脫離這彎曲的世代。
有人領受了他的話而受洗
我相信也有人非但沒領受
反而變本加厲的將律法完全推展到極致
故此門徒百受災害生命遭受壓迫
至終走上殉道之路
在此時我們都期待著教會復興人數加添
但若加添的非但不是欲救自己脫離這彎曲世代的人
反而是以這彎曲世代的謬誤來加入教會的人
那麼人數加添就失去了原本福音的意義
仔細查看人數加添的原因乃在於:
他們願意:恆心遵守使徒的教訓,彼此交接,擘餅,祈禱。
他們願意:信的人都在一處,凡物公用,
他們願意:照各人所需用的分給各人。
他們願意:天天同心合意恆切地在殿裡
他們願意:讚美 神,得眾民的喜愛。
所以:主將得救的人天天加給他們。
回過頭來想想,今日在教會的你我有多少的願意呢?
對神有一顆願意的心凡事都會可能
對神有不願意的心凡事都會說不能
使徒行傳
2:37 眾人聽見這話,覺得扎心,就對彼得和其餘的使徒說:「弟兄們,我們當怎樣行?」
Now when they heard this , they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
2:38 彼得說:「你們各人要悔改,奉耶穌基督的名受洗,叫你們的罪得赦,就必領受所賜的聖靈;
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
2:39 因為這應許是給你們和你們的兒女,並一切在遠方的人,就是主─我們 神所召來的。」
For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
2:40 彼得還用許多話作見證,勸勉他們說:「你們當救自己脫離這彎曲的世代。」
And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
2:41 於是領受他話的人就受了洗。那一天,門徒約添了三千人,
Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
2:42 都恆心遵守使徒的教訓,彼此交接,擘餅,祈禱。
And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
2:43 眾人都懼怕;使徒又行了許多奇事神蹟。
And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.
2:44 信的人都在一處,凡物公用,
And all that believed were together, and had all things common;
2:45 並且賣了田產、家業,照各人所需用的分給各人。
And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men , as every man had need.
2:46 他們天天同心合意恆切地在殿裡,且在家中擘餅,存著歡喜、誠實的心用飯,
And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, from...: or, at home
2:47 讚美 神,得眾民的喜愛。主將得救的人天天加給他們。
Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
