五十、复活
87问:关于复活,我们当信什么?
答:我们当信,
- 在末日的时候,死人都要复活,不管是义人,还是不义的人(徒24:15);
- 那时还活着的人在一刹那间都要改变;那些躺在坟墓中的同一身体要与他们的灵魂重新联合,不再分离,因着基督的大能而复活(林前15:21-23;帖前4:15-17;约5:28-29)。
- 义人的身体,因着基督的灵,并藉着他们的元首基督的复活,大有权能地复活,成为属灵的、不朽坏的,与基督荣耀的身体一样(林前15:21-23,42-44;腓3:21);
- 而恶人的身体亦将由基督这被触怒的审判者,使其在羞辱的状态中复活过来(约5:27-29;太25:33)。
Q. 87. What are we to believe concerning the resurrection?
A. We are to believe that at the last day there shall be a general resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust: when they that are then found alive shall in a moment be changed; and the selfsame bodies of the dead which were laid in the grave, being then again united to their souls forever, shall be raised up by the power of Christ. The bodies of the just, by the Spirit of Christ, and by virtue of his resurrection as their head, shall be raised in power, spiritual, incorruptible, and made like to his glorious body; and the bodies of the wicked shall be raised up in dishonor by him, as an offended judge.
88问:复活之后,随即发生什么?
答:复活之后,随即所发生的就是
- 最终的大审判,天使和人都要受到审判(彼后2:4犹6-7,14-15;太25:46);
- 没有人知道那日那时,所有人都当警醒祷告,时刻预备主的到来(太24:36,42,44;路21:35-36)。
Q. 88. What shall immediately follow after the resurrection?
A. Immediately after the resurrection shall follow the general and final judgment of angels and men; the day and hour whereof no man knoweth, that all may watch and pray, and be ever ready for the coming of the Lord.
