/p>
生命在他里头,
这生命就是人的光。
p>
光照在黑暗里,
黑暗却不接受光。
(
《新
约
·
约翰福音》第
1
章)
What has come into being in him was
life, and the life was the light of all
people. The light shines in the
darkness, and the darkness did not
overcome it.
这是是基督教神学思想的核心。<
/p>
这里的
光

生命
指的是永生
--
战胜死亡,获得真理
。
2
、<
/p>
你们要进窄门,因为引到灭亡,那门是宽的,路是大的,进去的人
也多;
引到永生,那门是窄的,路是小的,找着的人也少。

(《新约
·
马太福音》第
< br>7
章)
Enter
through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and
the road is easy
that leads to
destruction, and there are many who take it. For
the gate is
narrow and the road is hard
that leads to life, and there are few wh o find
it.
这是耶稣
登山宝训
中最短的一段,
但却是整
个新教精神的核心。
对于清教徒而
言,人生就意味着无尽艰险,
就意味着走窄门。

林多前书》第
13
章)
Love is patient; love is kind; love is
not envious pr boastful or arrogant
or
rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not
irritable or re sentful; it
does not
rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth.
I t bears all
things, hopes all things,
endures all things. Love never ends.
基督
教是

这就是使徒保罗对爱的诠释。
从古到今不知有多少人因这

段话而皈依基督教,可见
爱是无可比的

、
死啊,你得胜的权势
在哪里?死啊,你的毒钩在哪里?死的毒钩就是罪,
罪的权势就是律法。
感谢上帝,
使我们借着我们的主耶稣基督得胜。

林多前书》第
15
章)
Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting? The sting
of death is sin, and. The power of sin
is the law. But thanks be to God,
who
gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus
Christ.
使徒保罗用优美的语言阐明了基督教的脉络:原罪与堕落,牺牲与救赎
,胜利
与永生。总体说来就是
用爱战胜
死亡
。

The grass
withers, the flower fades, when the breath of the

upon it; surely the people
are grass. The grass withers, the flower fades;
but the word of our God will stand
forever.
