守安息日为圣日了吗?要在第七日(星期五日落到星期六日落)正确地守安息日
Is Keeping The Sabbath Holy? Observing It Correctly on The 7th Day (Friday Sundown to Saturday Sundown)
守安息日为圣日并不是一个受约束的日子...这是一个蒙亚哈威和亚呼赎阿祝福的日子!Keeping The Sabbath Holy is Not A Day of Bondage...It is To Be A Day of YAHUVEH'S and YAHUSHUA'S Blessings!
你想行走在申命记28章里吗?那里的祝福是给那些顺服亚哈威之人预留的!还是你想行走在给那些悖逆亚哈威之人存留的咒诅里吗?Do you want to walk in Deu. 28? The blessings therein are reserved for those who OBEY YAHUVEH! Or do you want to walk in the curses reserved for those who DISOBEY YAHUVEH?
反对按亚哈威的话所吩咐的守安息日为圣日并且在第七日(星期六)守安息日的争论是:“我们再也不需要律法了,因为我们是在恩典之下。”或者“守律法的人是律法主义者。”The arguments against keeping the Sabbath Holy and observing it on the 7th Day (Saturday) as commanded in YAHUVEH'S Word are: “We do not need the law anymore because we are under grace” or “People who keep the Law are Legalists.”
但这不是关乎律法主义,更不是关乎恩典。这全都是关乎顺服!律法主义和顺服之间总是有一道鸿沟。But this is not about legalism, or even grace. It is all about OBEDIENCE! There has always been a wide gap between Legalism vs. obedience.
到底什么是圣经的律法主义?就是拿律法当作是一种功德救赎的方式。What exactly is Biblical legalism? It is the taking of the Law and using it in a way which would merit salvation. 那些遵行亚哈威律法的人——守节期也守十诫——以一种看不出的方式附加在亚呼赎阿在十字架上所成就的大事上却不是律法主义。Those following the Law of YAHUVEH—keeping the Feasts and obeying the 10 Commandments—in a way which does not see it as adding to what YAHUSHUA accomplished on the Cross are not legalists.我们需要记住的是,唯有亚呼赎阿的献祭才能为罪人辩护(称义)。经文使得这个事实无可辩驳。 We need to remember than YAHUSHUA'S sacrifice alone justifies the ungodly. Scripture makes this fact undisputable.
加拉太书
Galatians2:16
既知道人称义不是因行律法,乃是因信亚呼赎阿.哈.玛西阿克(耶稣基督),连我们也信了亚呼赎阿.哈.玛西阿克(耶稣基督),Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of YAHUSHUA Ha Mashiach (Jesus Christ), 使我们因信亚呼赎阿称义,不因行律法称义;因为凡有血气的,没有一人因行律法称义。 even we have believed in YAHUSHUA Ha Mashiach, that we might be justified by the faith of YAHUSHUA, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
加拉太书
Galatians 3:11-13
没有一个人靠着律法在亚哈威神面前称义,这是明显的,因为经上说:“义人必因信得生。”律法原不本乎信,只说:“行这些事的,就必因此活着。”But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of YAHUVEH, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them. 亚呼赎阿既为我们受了咒诅,就赎出我们脱离律法的咒诅,因为经上记着:“凡挂在木头上都是被咒诅的。” YAHUSHUA hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree.
律法不能用来救赎,但把律法扔掉也同样会让你下地狱。The Law cannot be used for salvation. But, throwing away the Law will also send you to Hell as well.
启示录Revelation22:14里说:“那些洗净自己衣服的有福了!可得权柄能到生命树那里,也能从门进城。 ” states, "Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city."《启示录》清楚地陈明能进新耶路撒冷城并且永远和亚哈威在一起的人是那些“遵守祂诫命”的人。 The book of Revelation makes it clear that those who shall enter the New Jerusalem and spend eternity with YAHUVEH are those who "do His commandments."
启示录Rev22:18-19也有助于表明亚哈威不想任何人以任何方式删减祂的话,. also helps to show that YAHUVEH does not want anyone to subtract from His Word in any way, “若有人在这预言上加添什么,神必将写在这书上的灾祸加在他身上;这书上的预言,若有人删去什么,亚哈威神必从这书上所写的生命树和圣城删去他的份。”"If any man shall add unto these things, YAHUVEH shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, YAHUVEH shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book."
亚呼赎阿来了并且成全了律法。在马太福音5:17里,祂说祂来是要“成全律法”。祂遵守了律法,所以我们也应当遵守律法。YAHUSHUA has come and completed the Law. In Matthew 5:17, He says that He has come to "fulfill the Law". He kept the Law so we could keep it as well.
亚呼赎阿在祂在安息日所做的事上树立了榜样。YAHUSHUA gave an example on what He did on Sabbaths.
律法主义的观念在这里消除了。因为我们不是靠遵守律法得救。而是通过遵守律法我们表明我们自己已经借着亚呼赎阿的十字架得救了。The Legalistic notion here is dispelled. For we do not keep the Law to be saved. But rather, in keeping the Law we show ourselves to already have gained salvation through the cross of YAHUSHUA. 借着亚呼赎阿十字架之光,我们从中得到了从罪中得自由,我们现在是自由地遵守律法(加拉太书4:31)In light of the cross of YAHUSHUA and the liberation from the of sin we receive from it, we are now free to keep the Law (Galatians 4:31).
亚呼赎阿要求顺服。
YAHUSHUA requires obedience.
那恩典是关于什么呢?难道这是给我们一个借口吗?说实际上一个人能被拯救,而且根本不需要担心要过顺服的生活,因为我们都在亚呼赎阿的恩典之下。What about grace? Does this give us an excuse, saying in affect that a person can be saved and never have to worry about living a life of obedience because we are under the grace of YAHUSHUA? 不,保罗很快就在罗马书6:15里消除了这个观念,他说道:“这却怎么样呢?我们在恩典之下,不在律法之下,就可以犯罪吗?断乎不可!”。No. Paul quickly dispels this notion in Romans 6:15 when he says, "What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the Law, but under grace? YAHUVEH forbid.我们没有被给予去犯罪的自由,而是被给予了不去犯罪的自由。我们怎样才能不犯罪,除非我们知道什么是罪。我们怎样才知道什么是罪,除非我们跟随律法。“律法是罪吗?断乎不是。”(罗马书7:7) We are not given liberty to sin, but we are given liberty not to sin. And how shall we not sin unless we know what sin is? And how shall we know what sin is unless we follow the Law? "Is the Law sin, YAHUVEH forbid." (Romans 7:7)
亚哈威把祂的诫命赐给了我们,叫我们可以变得顺服祂的诫命。那些爱祂的人会守安息日为圣日,因为他们真的爱祂并且想要顺服祂。YAHUVEH has given us His commandments that we may become obedient to His commands. Those who love Him will keep Sabbath holy because they do love him and want to be obedient. 我们守律法就是顺服亚呼赎阿,并向祂表明我们多么爱祂,因为祂救了我们,让我们不会受试图靠遵守律法来活得永生的影响。顺服于律法主义相去甚远。We keep the Law to be obedient to YAHUSHUA and show Him how much we love Him for rescuing us from the damning influences of trying to keep the Law to gain eternal life. Obedience is a far cry from Legalism.
当我们喜爱跟随亚哈威的一切诫命时,祂很高兴。当亚哈威在许多经文里吩咐我们要顺服并信守祂的话语时,难道我们不应该顺服吗?When we enjoy following all YAHUVEH'S commands He is pleased. Shall we not be obedient when YAHUVEH, in numerous passages, commands obedience from us as stewards of His Word?
罗马书Romans6:16岂不晓得你们献上自己做奴仆,顺从谁,就做谁的奴仆吗?或做罪的奴仆,以至于死;或做顺命的奴仆,以致成义。 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
亚哈威不想假先知们进入教会告诉她(教会)不需要守律法。那不过是亵渎和违背亚哈威话语的异端。我们必须努力借着亚呼赎阿以一种圣洁的方式守律法。YAHUVEH does not want false prophets coming into the church telling her that she does not need to keep the Law. That is nothing but blasphemy and heresy against the Word of YAHUVEH. We must endeavor to keep the Law in a holy manner through YAHUSHUA.
我们需要律法来显明我们的罪。我们需要律法来指引我们走向公义。我们需要亚呼赎阿的命令,这些命令贯穿于整本圣经,来促使我们分别为圣并且持守圣洁,若不圣洁就没有人能见祂(希伯来书12:14)。We need the Law to show us our sin. We need the Law to direct us into righteousness. We need the commands of YAHUSHUA which are laid all through the Scriptures to further our sanctification and holiness, without which no one will see the Him (Hebrews 12:14). 救赎不是倚赖于守律法,而是当我们真正守律法的时候,就能在我们里面看见我们的救赎。Salvation does not depend on keeping the Law, but rather, our salvation is seen in us when we do keep the Law.
愿我们都成为道(话语)的子民,完全的道/话语,只有道/话语。愿我们抛弃律法主义的异端,欣然接受顺服玛西阿克(基督)。May we become people of the Word, the whole Word and nothing but the Word. May we throw away the heresy of Legalism, and embrace obedience to Christ. 因为除非我们顺服玛西阿克(基督),否则我们就与祂无份。因为祂说:“你们为什么称呼我『主啊,主啊』,却不遵我的话行呢?”(路加福音6:46,在平原上的讲道)。For unless we obey Christ, we have no part in Him. For He says, "But why do you call Me 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do the things which I say? (Luke 6:46, from the Sermon on the plain)."

要记住:违背十条诫命中的一条,就是违背了所有诫命!不要只是守其中的九条,而忽略第四条。Remember, that by breaking just ONE of the 10 Commandments, you break ALL OF THEM! Don't keep just 9 of them, ignoring the 4th. 也要守第四条,不是因为它会对你的救赎有所增添(不会的)...而是因为你爱亚哈威和亚呼赎阿,并且希望通过顺服这些诫命——所有的诫命——要求你们遵守的诫命,来取悦祂们。这不是不可能的。Keep the 4th as well, not because it will add anything to your salvation (It doesn't)…but because you love YAHUVEH and YAHUSHUA and want to please them with your obedience to what these commandments—all of them—require of you. It isn't impossible. 但是如果你是一个星期天的敬拜者,你就必须对这事妥协。But if you are a Sunday worshipper, you must come to terms with this issue. 如果你忽略这条诫命,继续跟随大多数教会,在每个星期天进入教会,那你就是行在悖逆中,很快,有一天,当你站在亚呼赎阿面前时,你将不得不为你自己解释为什么要这么做。If you ignore it and continue following the majority of the church into churches each Sunday, then you are walking in disobedience and will have to explain why someday soon when you stand before YAHUSHUA to give an account of yourself.
怎样守安息日
HOW TO KEEP THE SABBATH
我收到许多邮件,询问我怎样正确地守安息日。要记住,犹太人的一天是从日落开始,并且在日落结束。所以,安息日实际上是从星期五日落开始,并在星期六日落结束。这是你要守的时候。I have received many emails asking me how exactly does one keep the Sabbath. Remember that the Jewish day begins at sundown and ends at sundown. So the Sabbath actually begins on Friday sundown and ends on Saturday sundown. This is when you observe it.
安息日是一个圣日,一个我们敬重亚哈威的日子。我们不仅要在这一天花时间来祷告和阅读祂的话语,也要寻求祂给我们的旨意。Sabbath is a holy day, a day when we honor YAHUVEH. We should not only spend time on this day in prayer and in His Word, but also seeking His will for us. 我们要求问祂,祂在这一天想我们做什么。这也应该包括领圣餐,吹号角(如果你有一个的话),点燃安息日蜡烛,并阅读妥拉。We should ask Him what He wants us to do on this day. It should also include communion, the blowing of the Shofar (if you have one), lighting Sabbath candles and reading from the Torah.
那工作呢?安息日是应该休息的一天,这是你应该做的。如果有可能的话,提前准备好安息日的餐食,这样就可以在微波炉或烤箱里加热。在这日,不要去打猎或钓鱼,因为动物们也应该休息。And what about work? The Sabbath is supposed to be a day of rest and this is what you should do. If at all possible, have the Sabbath meals prepared in advance so they can be heated in a microwave or oven. Don't do any hunting or fishing on this day, for the animals deserve their rest also.
在祂里面度过这特别的一天。做能够让你休息,放松和有趣的事,如果你的工作要求你在安息日工作,或者你的雇主不允许你在安息日休息。那就要向亚哈威祷告,祂必会带领你找到一份允许你在安息日休息的新工作。Spend this special day in Him. Do things that offer you rest, relaxation and fun. If you have a job that requires you to work on the Sabbath and your employer refuses to allow you to take the Sabbath off, then pray to YAHUVEH that He will lead you to a new job which will allow you to rest on Sabbath. 不要像律法主义那样限定你能做什么,不能做什么。比如,开或关灯的开关,或在家里走动的时候需要完成的一些小任务,这些不能认为是工作。Don't be legalistic about what you can and cannot do. For example, turning light switches on/off or any of the many small tasks required while moving about your house is not considered work.如果你不确定的某些事,就求问天父亚哈威,祂要么会告诉你可以做或者你不应该做这事。要顺服祂所要求的事,这样,安息日就真的会成为你的祝福。 If you aren't sure about something, ask Father YAHUVEH and He will either tell you it's okay or that you should not do it. Be obedient to what He asks so the Sabbath will truly be a blessing for you.
跟你的家人玩游戏,花时间拜访朋友。凡是被认为是工作的都应当留到次日去做。Play games with your family. Spend time visiting with friends. Anything considered work should be left for the next day.
