祂不愿有一人沉沦 No One Should Perish
彼得后书 3:9 主所应许的尚未成就,有⼈以为他是耽延;其实不是耽延,乃是宽容你们,不愿有⼀⼈沉沦,乃愿⼈⼈都悔 改。(现代标点和合本)
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is long suffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. (NKJV)
主不是在耽延祂的应许,而是给我们更多的时间,好让我们可以把福⾳传给⼈ 使他们得救。祂不愿有⼀⼈沉沦。所以,祂要兴起更多的教会。谁是教会?就是你和我。你愿意被神兴起吗? 神要兴起教会,因为祂要使⽤你来告诉⾝边的⼈,影响⽣命,使你成为传福⾳的管道,把⼈带来教会相信耶稣,相信神的⼉⼦,相信圣灵的运⾏。祂来告诉你祂不是耽延,而是宽容,好让我们有更多的时间把福⾳传出去,好叫更多的⼈悔改得救。所以,主不是耽延,而是给与更多的时间。
The Lord is not slow concerning His promise but He is giving us time to spread the gospel to more people so that more people will be saved. He does not want any perish. That is why He is going to raise many churches up. Who is the church? It is you and I. Are you ready for God to raise you up? God will raise the church up because you will tell the story, the channel to tell people to come to church, to believe in God, to believe in Jesus, the Son of God and to believe in the Holy Spirit. He is telling you that He is not slow but He is persevering to give us more time to reach out to more people, so that more people will come to repentance and be saved. So, the Lord is not slow but the Lord is giving time.
