「跳火坑」是形容那些自甘墮落的人而說的話;如今仍有很多人,日日排隊去走犯罪之路而「跳火坑」。如黃毒和犯各種罪惡之人們,他們明知自己所走的是一條死路,但仍甘願去行,他們不但自己去行,還希望自己的朋友陪他同行。這是人間一種極奇怪的現象。

 

其實,這現象是一個屬靈的奧秘,本來人被榮耀的神創造後,有一個極其榮耀尊貴和聖潔的身體;但人類的始祖聽從魔鬼引誘而犯罪後,便失去這寶貴的身份及神的榮耀!更悲慘是人就有了魔鬼的性情,被魔鬼用一條無形的鎖鎖着,帶人犯罪作惡。雖然,人人願意為善,行出來卻不善,偏向罪惡死亡的道路上直奔,最後和魔鬼一同下真正的火炕━燒着硫磺的火湖裏。

 

創造天地的主耶穌基督說:『在那蟲是不死的,火是不滅的。因為,必用火當鹽醃各人。』(可9:48-49) 這是人間的悲劇中最大的悲劇!

 

感謝憐愛世人的神,見人們無知地跟隨魔鬼下火坑,為世人預備了拯救的恩典,就是藉着祂的兒子━耶穌基督降世,為人的罪死在十字架上,第三日祂勝過死亡而從死裏復活。因此,凡信靠祂為自己的救主之人,都把他們救回神的國,成為神的兒女,脫離魔鬼和罪惡的捆鎖,恢復人因犯罪而失去屬天的尊貴和榮耀!

 

F但願你也像我們一樣同蒙這極大的福樂。

 

 

Living  in  the  pit

 

The phrase “living in the pit” is used to describe those who abandon themselves to vice. In fact, there are many people who follow the road of sin each day and “live in the pit”. Though people who risk and commit other evil deeds realize they are walking in the path that leads to death, yet they still continue on their way and hope for companions in their walk. This is a very strange phenomenon among the human race.

 

Actually, this phenomenon is a spiritual mystery. Man, when first created by the glorious God, had a glorious, honorable and holy existence. But since our first ancestor listened to the enticement of Satan and sinned, this precious identity was lost. Man began to take on the temperament of Satan and was bound by him with an invisible chain. Although every one is willing to do good, they cannot in action. Man turn toward and run in the path of sin and death and in the end will enter will Satan the abyss of suffering- Fiery lake of burning sulfur.

 

The Lord Jesus Christ who created the universe said, “Where their worm does not die and the fire is not be quenched. Everyone will be salted with fire.” (Mark 9:48–49). This is indeed the biggest tragedy on earth!

 

Thanks be to the merciful and loving God! He could not bear to see people follow Satan in ignorance into the infernal pit of fire and has prepared for us the grace of salvation. That is, through the birth of His Son Jesus Christ who died on the cross for our sins, He overcame death and rose on the third day. Those who believe in Him as their own Savior will be delivered into the kingdom of God and become His children. They can then be free from the chain of sin and Satan, and regain the lost spiritual honor and glory!

 

FWe hope you will also receive this tremendous blessing.
