Application/Discussion Questions
應用/討論問題
1. It’s normal to fear death. Hebrews 2:14 and 15 say that we who trust Christ have been set free from the enslaving fear of death. This is a fact for all believers, but it is not always something we feel. On a scale of 1 to 10, how free do you feel from fear of death?
害怕死亡是正常的。希伯來書2:1415說相信基督的我們,已經從害怕死亡的奴役裡釋放出來了。對所有的信徒而言,這是事實。雖然我們的感覺並非總是如此覺得。從 1 10 衡量有關免於害怕死亡的恐懼,你覺得你有多釋放?
2. Take a moment to read 1 Corinthians 15:35-58 and 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 aloud. Do you believe this resurrection is going to happen? What do you think about the new, superior body that is promised for Christians? When life is difficult, how often do you find your hope in this promise?
花點時間大聲朗讀哥林多前書1535-58和帖撒羅尼迦前書413-18。你相信這復活將會發生嗎? 關於對基督徒的應許,在復活後將擁有全新的身體,你有什麼想法?當生活在困難的時候,你多常會從這個應許中得到希望。
3. We talked about viewing this life as an audition for eternal life. Take a moment to read Jesus’ promise of “eternal life” available to all who believe in Him, in the following passages: John 3:16 and 36. John 5:24. John 6:40 & 47. John 10:28. Did you notice the connection between believing and receiving eternal
我們說過將此生看成了永生的試鏡。花點時間閱讀耶穌對所有信他的人,必得“永生”的應許。以下的經文:約翰福音3:1636約翰 5:24。約翰福音6:4047約翰10:28。你有沒有注意到相信和得到永生之間的連結。
4. In Esther’s story, evil appeared to be winning and unstoppable, but God used His faithful people to change the story. In the end, justice was served to those who were murderous and evil. When you see evil in the world today, does it help you to know that the ultimate perpetrator—the Devil—will get his justice, and that we will be delivered? (see Hebrews 10:30, 31 and Revelation 19:11 - 20:15)
在以斯帖的故事,邪惡似乎就要勝利並且無法阻擋,但上帝用了對他忠心的人改變了整個故事。最終,正義在那些計劃謀殺和邪惡的人身上得到伸張。 當你看到當今世界的邪惡,卻知道最終的肇事者,魔鬼將被正義征服,而我們也會被拯救,是否幫助到你?
(見希伯來書10:30,第31和啟示19:11 - 20:15
