FAITH IS KEY

信心是关键

By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went (Hebrews 11:8). 

亚伯拉罕因着信心，蒙召的时候就顺从并出去，往将来要得为业得地方去；出去的时候，还不知往哪里去。（希伯来书11:8）

The Bible described Abraham as the Father of faith. When the Lord said to him in Genesis 17:5, “…for a father of many nations have I made thee,” Abraham believed even though he was still childless and all he had were his servants. But by the spirit of faith, he apprehended what the Lord had said, made confessions accordingly, and walked in the reality of it. 

圣经将亚伯拉罕描述为信心之父。当主在创世记17:5对他说：“……因为我已立你作多国的父。”亚伯拉罕相信，即使那时他尚且膝下无子，身边只有他的仆人而已。但凭着信，他明白了主所说的话，并做出相应的宣告，活出相应的生活。

On another occasion, the Lord spoke to him to travel to an unknown place that would become his home. All that the Lord told him was “go,” and without any further instruction, Abraham stepped out. Abraham didn’t ask, “How do I even begin this journey to an unknown destination? Should I go northward, southward, eastward or westward?” no! Hebrews 11:8 says, “By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.” So, Abraham set out by faith!

又有一次，主让他到一个不知名的地方安家。主仅仅对他说“去”，除此之外再没有别的指示，亚伯拉罕就去了。亚伯拉罕没有问：“我怎么开始这个前往‘未知’之地？我应该向北走？向南走？西向东走还是向西走呢？”他没有问！希伯来书11:8说：“亚伯拉罕因着信心，蒙召的时候就顺从并出去，往将来要得为业得地方去；出去的时候，还不知往哪里去。”因此，亚伯拉罕凭着信心出发了！

Hebrews 11:9 says, “By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise.” In other words, as he journeyed, wherever he pitched his tent or lived with his family at any given time, he lived unto God by faith, on the basis of what God had told him.

希伯来书11:9说道：“他因着信心，就在所应许的地上寄居，如在异乡，与以撒、雅各一起居住帐篷，他们是与他蒙同样应许作后嗣的。”换句话说，在他旅行的时候，无论他在何处支搭帐篷，在何处何时与家人他的家人一起生活，他都按照神对他说的话，凭着信心而活。

Galatians 3:7 tells us they that are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham; which means we’re to follow his example. Therefore, ours is a life of faith; faith is the currency by which we operate in the Kingdom. We’re creatures of faith, from a lineage of faith. The Bible says, “For we walk by faith, not by sight” (2 Corinthians 5:7). Hebrews 11:1 NLT says, “What is faith? It is the confident assurance that what we hope for is going to happen. It is the evidence of things we cannot yet see.” 

加拉太书3:7告诉我们所有属信心的人，就是亚伯拉罕的儿女，意思就是说我们要以他为榜样。因此，我们的生命是信心的生命，信心是我们在天国使用的货币。我们是信心的创造物，来自于信心的家族。圣经说：“因为我们行走，是靠着信心，不是靠着眼见。”（哥林多后书5:7）希伯来书11:1的新生活译本圣经说道：“信是什么？信就是我们对所盼望之事成为现实的信心十足的把握；是我们还未看见的事物的确据。”

Faith is living according to God’s principles, trusting that He’s whom He says He is, He’s done what He says He’s done, and He’s given you what He says He’s given you. Faith is anchoring your life on God’s Word, refusing to be swayed to the left or to the right; the title-deed to unseen realities. Blessed be God! 

信心是根据神的原则而活，相信祂说自己是怎样的一位祂就是怎样的；祂说自己成就了什么事就一定如此；祂说祂赐给你什么，就一定给了你什么。信心将你生命的锚固定在神的道上，拒绝被摇动左右摇摆。信心是“地契”，是对看不见的房产的证明。神是配得称颂的！
