雅各书第二章

拾珍

【雅二10】『凡遵守全律法的，只在一条上跌倒，他就犯了众条。』这好象一条铁链，只要断了一环，就是全炼都断了。也好象电灯泡，只要破了一点，或其中的电丝断了一点，就没有用了。律法所要求的『行』，必须是十足完全的，不可有丝毫的残缺。

James 2:10

The honor code for the U.S. Military Academy at West Point is as follows: “A cadet does not lie, cheat, or steal, nor tolerate anyone who does.”

This honor code is so stringent that even one violation at any time during the four years of study, including even the day before graduation, requires automatic expulsion of the guilty party.

James 2:10

Assume that a ship is anchored art port with an anchor that has 613 links in its chain, representing the 613 commands in the Mosaic Law. If only one link breaks, the ship will be set adrift, so the 612 links that did hold count for nothing if just one is broken.

Or consider your situation if you had fallen over the edge of a very high cliff and were clinging to a chain for dear life. How many links of that chain must break before you would plummet to your death?

The Mosaic Law is the same, according to James 2:10. If you fail in one point, you might as well have blown it all—you’re dead either way.

【雅二24】『人称义是因着行为。』我们得救的时候，在神面前所得的称义，是因着信心，丝毫不是因着行为。但我们得救以后，在人面前所得的称义，却是因着行为，不是因着信心。我们在得救以后，必须靠着神在我们里面的生命和圣灵，在人面前结出悔改的果子，过义的生活，有义的行为，作一个行义的义人，我们才能在人面前得著称义。
