大使命 30

基本的聖經世界觀

聖經中基本的聖經世界觀包括：

1)   神創造世界和世人是為了與祂有特別的關係。

2)   人因著罪而與神分離。

3)   神是如此愛世人和世界，以致於祂藉由耶穌在十字架上的贖罪祭來恢復與人的關係。

4)   祂耽延復興萬物的時候，好讓祂能呼叫那些活在現今邪惡世代的人，證明他們愛祂勝過邪惡。

5)   凡是勝過這世代邪惡的人，是藉著接受祂的救贖、與祂緊緊連結，並在祂裡面長大成熟，他們將與祂一同承受產業，呈現出基督屬神的本質，在要來的世代與祂一同掌權。

6)   耶穌第一次是以贖罪羔羊來到地上，但祂將以獅子回來，摧毀一切毀壞人類與地上的邪惡。

7)   全地將被重建成起初神所創造的樂園，人類將一同被復興。

8)   當全地被重建了，神自己要在地上住在人中間。    

在基督復活與祂作王掌權這段期間，是那些要與祂一起承受產業者『訓練來掌權』之時。這些人成為神的兒女，在『萬物復興的時候』與祂一同掌管，正如彼得在使徒行傳三章21節所言。

神對全地和人類最初與最終的目的並不是被罪攔阻，神的目的終將應驗。在復興萬物時，我們被呼召與主一同成為代表。這是我們這一生經歷種種的目的─不單是考驗我們是否愛神勝過邪惡，更是藉由效法祂的本質來預備我們與基督的永恆地位。在你生命中的每一個試煉都有其目的─讓你效法基督。

首先的亞當有一個新婦，生活在完美的世界，卻選擇違背神。『末後的亞當』耶穌基督將有一個新婦，生活在最困難的時候並抵抗地獄和墮落世界所有的壓力與試探，她卻選擇順服神。為此緣故，就連天使都將宣告，她配得成為他們的審判官並與祂一同掌權。因此，成為基督新婦的一員，正是你的主要目的。

A Basic Biblical Worldview - The Great Commission, Part 30
Week 30, 2014
Rick Joyner

A basic biblical worldview established in Scripture includes:

1)   God created the world and mankind for a special relationship with Him.

2)   Man became separated from God by sin.

3)   God so loved mankind and the world that He made provision for our redemption and reconciliation through the atonement sacrifice of His Son on the cross.

4)   He delayed the restoration of the world so that He could call out of this present evil age those whose lives proved they love Him more than evil.

5)   Those who overcome the evil of this age by accepting His atonement, abiding in Him, and growing up into Him will become joint heirs with Christ, taking on Christ’s divine nature to rule with Him over the age to come.

6)   Jesus came as a sacrificial Lamb the first time, but He will return as a Lion, destroying the evil that has been destroying mankind and the earth.

7)   The earth will be restored to the paradise it was originally created to be, and mankind will be restored with it.

8)   When the earth has been restored, God Himself will dwell on earth among men.     

         The time between the resurrection of Christ and when He takes His seat above all rule and authority and dominion has been “training for reigning” for those who will be joint heirs with Him. These are becoming sons and daughters of God, ruling with Him over “the period of the restoration of all things” as Peter called it in Acts 3:21.

         God’s original and ultimate purpose for the earth and mankind was not thwarted by sin. It will be fulfilled. We are called to be agents with Him in this restoration. This is the purpose for all we go through in this life—it is not just testing us to see if we love God more than evil, it is preparing us for our eternal position with Christ by conforming us to His nature. Every trial in your life is for this purpose—to conform you to the nature of Christ.

         The first Adam had a bride that lived in a perfect world and yet chose to disobey. The “last Adam,” Christ Jesus, will have a bride that lived through the most difficult of times and against all of the pressure and temptations of hell and this fallen world, yet she will choose to obey. For this reason, even the angels will declare that she is worthy to be their judge and to reign with Him. To be a part of this bride of Christ is your main purpose.
