这段讲道探讨了如何辨别真福音,并提出了四个检验标准:1. 福音是喜乐的源泉,若基督教带给你的是负担而非喜乐,则说明你尚未真正理解福音。2. 福音是一种改变生命的力量,它带来内在性格的革命,解决人的问题,带来灵魂的丰盛。若你生活中存在焦虑、愤怒等问题,则说明你尚未充分运用福音的力量。3. 福音是上帝的恩典,理解福音的全部真理,才能结出果子。4. 福音是基督自己,基督是道路、真理和生命,是人的义、圣洁和智慧。若你认为福音是关于耶稣,而非耶稣本身,则说明你尚未真正理解福音。讲道中,Keller牧师通过威廉·霍兰和查尔斯·卫斯理的例子说明,福音并非仅仅是被告知,而是需要被理解和接受,才能带来改变。他还通过足球比赛的例子说明,基督徒应该明白自己的价值已经由上帝预先确定,不必过度焦虑。

It’s one thing to have the gospel presented to you. It’s another thing to have it come to you. 

According to this passage, it is very easy to miss the gospel. How do you know if the gospel has come to you? 

This passage tells us four tests so you can know if the gospel has come to you or not: 1) the gospel is joy, 2) the gospel is a power, 3) the gospel is grace, and 4) the gospel is Christ himself.

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on December 3, 1995. Series: Matthew 9. Scripture: Colossians 1:1-8, 28-29.
