Step 1 of 5第 1 步,共 5 步
Thumb拇指
Grace
恩典
Heaven is a free gift. You cannot earn it, and you cannot deserve it.
天堂是神白白給的禮物。不能靠努力賺到,也不是因為你夠好才拿得到。
If you could earn it, it would be a paycheque and not a present. That is where the whole thing starts.
如果可以賺得到,那就是工資,不是禮物了。整件事就是從這裡開始。
“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”Romans 6:23, NKJV
「因為罪的工價乃是死;惟有神的恩賜,在我們的主基督耶穌裡,乃是永生。」羅馬書 6:23,和合本
“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.”Ephesians 2:8–9, NKJV
「你們得救是本乎恩,也因著信;這並不是出於自己,乃是神所賜的;也不是出於行為,免得有人自誇。」以弗所書 2:8–9,和合本
Step 2 of 5第 2 步,共 5 步
Index finger食指
Man
人
Every one of us is a sinner. Sin is what we do, what we don’t do, and what we think.
我們每一個人都是罪人。罪包括我們做過的、該做卻沒做的,還有心裡想的。
And we cannot fix it ourselves. The standard was never “better than most people.” It is perfect.
而且我們自己補不回來。神的標準從來不是「比大部分人好一點」,是完全。
“for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”Romans 3:23, NKJV
「因為世人都犯了罪,虧缺了神的榮耀」羅馬書 3:23,和合本
“Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.”Matthew 5:48, NKJV
「所以,你們要完全,像你們的天父完全一樣。」馬太福音 5:48,和合本
Step 3 of 5第 3 步,共 5 步
Middle finger中指
God
神
God loves us and He is merciful. He is also just, so He has to punish sin.
神愛我們,滿有憐憫。同時祂是公義的,所以祂必須刑罰罪。
Both of those are true at the same time. A judge who lets everything slide is not a good judge. That is the problem the next finger answers.
這兩件事同時都是真的。一個什麼都放過的法官,不是好法官。下一隻手指就是神給這個難題的答案。
“keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, by no means clearing the guilty…”Exodus 34:7, NKJV
「為千萬人存留慈愛,赦免罪孽、過犯,和罪惡,萬不以有罪的為無罪……」出埃及記 34:7,和合本
Step 4 of 5第 4 步,共 5 步
Ring finger無名指
Jesus
耶穌
Who is Jesus? Infinite God and infinite man, God himself in the flesh.
耶穌是誰?祂是無限的神,也是無限的人,神自己成為肉身來到我們中間。
What did He do? Sin had separated us from God. Jesus died on the cross and rose three days later. He paid for the sin and bought the place in heaven, and then He offers it to you.
祂做了什麼?罪把我們和神隔開。耶穌死在十字架上,第三天復活。祂付清了罪的代價,也買下了天堂的位子,然後祂把這個位子送給你。
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God… And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.”John 1:1, 14, NKJV
「太初有道,道與神同在,道就是神。……道成了肉身,住在我們中間,充充滿滿地有恩典有真理。我們也見過他的榮光,正是父獨生子的榮光。」約翰福音 1:1、14,和合本
“All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.”Isaiah 53:6, NKJV
「我們都如羊走迷;各人偏行己路;耶和華使我們眾人的罪孽都歸在他身上。」以賽亞書 53:6,和合本
Step 5 of 5第 5 步,共 5 步
Little finger小指
Faith
信心
Faith is the only key that opens heaven. The gift is received by faith.
信心是開天堂那道門唯一的鑰匙。這份禮物是藉著信心接過來的。
Saving faith is not head knowledge. The demons have that. It is also not the kind of faith we bring for health, family or money, because those things come and go. Saving faith is trusting Jesus alone as your own Saviour and Lord.
得救的信心不是頭腦知道而已,魔鬼也知道。也不是為了身體健康、家庭平安、財務順利的那種信心,那些都是暫時的。得救的信心是單單信靠耶穌,接受祂作你自己的救主和主。
“You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble!”James 2:19, NKJV
「你信神只有一位,你信的不錯;魔鬼也信,卻是戰驚。」雅各書 2:19,和合本
After the five steps五步講完之後
Now ask
現在開始問
Two questions, in this order. Then say the four things out loud, so nothing is assumed.
按這個次序問兩個問題。然後把四件事講出來,不要讓對方自己猜。
The qualifying question確認的問題
“Does that make sense to you?”
「這樣講,你聽得明白嗎?」
The commitment question決定的問題
“Would you like to receive the gift of eternal life?”
「你願意接受這永生的禮物嗎?」
If the answer is yes, clarify what they are saying yes to:
如果對方說願意,就把他答應的是什麼講清楚:
- Transfer your trust. Let go of whatever you were holding on to, and hold on to Jesus.把你的倚靠轉過來。放開你原本抓住的那些,改為抓住耶穌。
- Receive Jesus as your Saviour.接受耶穌作你的救主。
- Receive Jesus as your Lord. This may change everything.接受耶穌作你的主。這可能會改變一切。
- Repent. Turn around and walk the other way.悔改。轉身,往另一個方向走。
“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.”Revelation 3:20, NKJV
「看哪,我站在門外叩門,若有聽見我聲音就開門的,我要進到他那裡去,我與他一同坐席,他與我也要如此。」啟示錄 3:20,和合本
Before you pray with anyone在為人帶決志禱告之前
Commitment from the heart. Do not take it lightly. Only do it if you mean to. The Holy Spirit will reveal and guard your heart.
要從心裡作這個決定。不要輕率。只有你真的是這個意思,才去做。聖靈會向你顯明,也會保守你的心。
