【你们若不悔改But unless you repent】

你们若不悔改

敬畏耶和华心存谦卑，就得富有、尊荣、生命为赏赐（箴言22:4）

平安弟兄姊妹们！真正谦卑的基督徒要认定四件事：①他们不是上帝；②他们不能认为、更不能吩咐上帝什么可以做、什么不可以做；③上帝是至高无上的；④我们应该完完全全地服从上帝（部分服从就是犯罪）。当我们以完全地顺服、谦卑和感恩来侍奉我们的造物主时，祂会以超乎我们想象的方式来祝福我们。

当我们认罪并且悔改时，主耶稣会宽恕我们的罪，但同时祂也警告我们：“不要再犯罪，恐怕你遭遇的更加利害”（约翰福音5:14）。主耶稣不想让我们继续再悖逆上帝，所以祂说：“去吧，从此不要再犯罪了”（约翰福音8:11）。

你仍旧活在罪恶里（违背上帝就是犯罪）吗？主耶稣告诉我们，也告诉凡自称基督徒的人（不是耶稣基督真正的跟从者）：“我告诉你们，不是的（假道说：你们受洗后继续犯罪也能进入天国），你们若不悔改都要如此灭亡”（路加福音13:3）。悔改，是主耶稣和施洗约翰的首要命令（马太福音4:17）。

悔改，不仅是要忏悔自己的罪，还要果断地改变，活出一个远离罪恶、完完全全服从上帝的生命。“悔改”在旧约中的意思为：呼吁以色列人“回转”，忠于与上帝的约。悔改的意思不是自惩、沮丧或悔恨，卖主的犹大犯罪后只是悲伤和痛苦（马太福音27:3这时候，卖耶稣的犹大，看见耶稣已经定了罪，就后悔，把那三十块钱拿回来给祭司长和长老），但他却没有悔改。犹大不也受洗了吗？你认为他的名字仍写在羔羊的生命册上吗？你认为，一位公义的上帝会怎么对付那些仍旧犯罪悖逆祂的人呢？不要被任何假道欺骗，假道不是主耶稣所吩咐我们的。

But unless you repent

Pro. 22:4 – By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches and honor and life.

Shalom Brothers n Sisters,

The truly humble followers of CHRIST recognize four things: that they are not GOD; and they can’t think or tell HIM what HE can and cannot do, and that GOD is SOVEREIGN, and we should obey HIM totally (partial obedience is a sin). When we serve our almighty CREATOR with total obedience, humility and gratitude, HE blesses us in ways that stagger our imagination.

JESUS will forgive our sins, but HE warns us to “Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you” (John 5:14). JESUS don’t want us to continue sinning against GOD, and HE said,“ - . . . .go and sin no more” (John 8:11).

Are you still living in sins? JESUS told us and is still telling those who call themselves Christians (not true followers of JESUS CHRIST): “I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish”(Luke 13:3).Repent .The first command of both John the Baptist and JESUS (Matt. 4:17).

Repentance is not just sorrow for sin but a decisive change, a turning away from sin and to a life of obedience. “Repent” translates the Old Testament call to Israel to “return” to faithfulness to the covenant. It does not mean self-punishment, depression, or remorse. Judas was sorrowful and distressed (Matt. 27:3Then Judas, JESUS’ betrayer, seeing that HE had been condemned, was remorseful and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, but he did not repent). Was Judas baptized? Do you think that his name is still in the Book of Lamp? What will a righteous GOD do with a person who keeps on sinning against HIM? Do not be deceived by any preaching that is not what JESUS had told us.

赚取财富

不要劳碌求富，休仗自己的聪明。…因钱财必长翅膀，如鹰向天飞去（箴言23:4-5）

平安弟兄姊妹们！当我们集中精力赚取财富时，就无法把注意力专注于增近与上帝的亲密关系。这就是为何主耶稣说：“你们不能又事奉 神，又事奉玛门「财利」（路加福音16:13）。人若赚得全世界，赔上自己的生命有什么益处呢？人还能拿什么换生命呢？人子要在祂父的荣耀里，同着众使者降临。那时候，祂要照各人的行为报应各人 【不是按各人为自己赚取多少财富来审判各人】”（马太福音16:26-27）

Gaining wealth

Pro. 23:4-5 Do not overwork to be rich; because of your own understanding, cease!. . . . For riches certainly make themselves wings. They fly away like an eagle toward heaven.

Shalom Brothers and Sisters,

When we focus our energies on gaining wealth, we cannot focus our attention on gaining an intimate relationship with GOD. That’s why JESUS said, “You cannot serve GOD and mammon [money]” (Luke 16:13). “What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? For the SON of MAN is going to come in HIS FATHER’s glory with HIS angels, and then HE will reward each person according to what they have done [not for the riches they have gained for themselves” (Matt 16:26-27).

不要嫉妒恶人

不要嫉妒恶人，也不要起意与他们相处；因为他们的心图谋强暴，他们的口谈论奸恶（箴言24:1-2）

平安弟兄姊妹们！看似恶人比我们生活得更好，但是若因此而嫉妒他们，这就是一个大错误。因为等到末了，他们是一无所有，“但上帝是我心里的力量，又是我的福份，直到永远”（诗篇73:26）。

Do not be envious of evil men

Pro. 24:1, 2 - Do not be envious of evil men, nor desire to be with them; for their heart devises violence and their lips talk of troublemaking.

Shalom Brothers n Sisters,

It may seem like the wicked have better lives than we do, but it's a big mistake to envy them. In the end, they have nothing; "but GOD is the strength of my heart and my portion forever" (Ps. 73:26).

不可加添自己的言语

祂的言语，你不可加添，恐怕祂责备你，你就显为说谎言的（箴言30:6）

平安弟兄姊妹们！我们必须谨慎辨明哪些是出于我们自己的观点、哪些是圣经的解释，又要懂得上帝透过祂的话语实际所说的是什么。保罗说，我们所认为的“不可过于圣经所记”（哥林多前书4:6）

Do not add your own words

Pro. 30:6 - Do not add to HIS words, lest HE rebuke you, and you be found a liar.

Shalom Brothers n Sisters,

We must be careful to distinguish between our own opinions and interpretation of Scripture, and what GOD actually says in HIS WORD. Paul says we are "not to think beyond what is written" (1 Cor. 4:6).
