Topics
Tara-Leigh Cobble: 本集节目主要围绕罗马书11-13章展开，详细阐述了保罗关于福音、以色列未来以及基督徒生活方式的观点。保罗强调传福音的重要性，因为神应许拯救各族的人，所以神的子民必须传播福音。他指出，神并没有弃绝以色列，而是拣选了一部分以色列人为余民，如同以利亚时代一样。得救并非取决于种族，而是取决于信仰。以色列人的拒绝为传福音给外邦人提供了机会，神也借此机会吸引以色列人回到自己身边。保罗用枝子比喻以色列和外邦人的关系，拒绝基督的以色列人如同被剪除的枝子，外邦人被嫁接进来。他警告外邦人不要自夸，他们被接纳是出于神的恩典，而非自己的功劳。保罗关于“剪除”的描述并非指失去救恩，而是指可见的教会和不可见的教会的区别。可见的教会中包含并非真正信徒的人，只有神能分辨谁是真正属于祂的。神最终会从藤上剪除那些并非真正信徒的人；在信仰中的坚持能显明人的内心；任何被剪除的人都有机会被重新嫁接。神的计划是让许多犹太人抵挡祂，直到所有外邦人都被传福音，然后犹太人的硬心就会结束，神会向他们展现更多的怜悯；一部分犹太人会在历史上和将来继续得救。罗马书11:26中“所有以色列人必得救”的解释存在多种观点，多数神学家认为是指将来神结束犹太人部分硬心时，会有大量的犹太人得救。神的工作奥秘难测，我们应该顺服神，将自己和生命献给神。我们应该抵挡文化的潮流，寻求神的荣耀，并以谦卑的态度认识到自身与他人的不同。我们既依赖神，也互相依赖，神的恩赐用于建立他人。神掌管一切权威，即使是邪恶的权威，神也在成就祂的计划，最终拯救祂的子民；无论谁掌权，都应信靠神。作为信靠神的人，我们应该顺服掌权者，即使我们不喜欢或不尊重他们；我们的行为应该反映我们对神的回应，而非对掌权者的回应。保罗提醒罗马教会要彼此相爱，因为教会内部存在各种各样的观点。保罗提醒他们要实践“爱邻舍如同爱自己”的诫命，并且要弃绝黑暗的行为，行在光明中。

Deep Dive

Key Insights

Why does Paul emphasize that God has not rejected ethnic Israel in Romans 11?

Paul clarifies that God has preserved a remnant of ethnic Israel, chosen by grace, and that salvation has always come through God's grace, not by ethnicity. He uses the metaphor of a vine to illustrate how Gentiles have been grafted in, but warns against boasting, as it is God's kindness that sustains them.

What does Paul's metaphor of the vine and branches in Romans 11 signify?

Paul uses the vine metaphor to describe how ethnic Israel, the original branches, were pruned when they rejected Christ. Gentiles, as wild branches, were grafted in by God's grace. This metaphor emphasizes God's sovereignty and the importance of humility for both Jews and Gentiles.

How does Paul explain the relationship between the Gentiles and the Jews in the context of salvation?

Paul explains that the rejection of the Jews provided an opportunity for the gospel to reach the Gentiles. However, this rejection is temporary, and God's plan includes enticing ethnic Israel back to Himself, with many Jews eventually coming to faith.

What are the different interpretations of Romans 11:26, which states 'all Israel will be saved'?

There are several interpretations: some believe it refers to all believers, both Jew and Gentile; others think it means all Jewish people for all time. Most theologians, however, interpret it as a future mass conversion of Jews when God ends the partial hardening of Israel.

How does Paul advise believers to respond to earthly authorities in Romans 13?

Paul advises believers to submit to authorities, not based on their feelings toward them, but as a demonstration of their trust in God's sovereignty. He emphasizes that God is working through even evil authorities to ultimately bring about His good purposes.

What does Paul emphasize about the unity and diversity within the church in Romans 12?

Paul highlights that believers are both God-dependent and interdependent, with each person having unique gifts given by God to build up the community. He stresses the importance of humility and unity, despite differences in faith and background.

Why does Tara-Leigh Cobble find the process of creating The Bible Recap humbling?

Tara-Leigh finds the process humbling because she has had to unlearn things she thought she knew and delete sections she initially wrote after deeper study. She appreciates that God is both knowable and unsearchable, and that there is always more to learn about Him.
