阿摩司書 9

Study

   

1 見主站在祭壇旁邊;他:你要擊打柱頂,使門檻震動,打碎柱頂,落在眾人上;所剩下的人,我必用刀殺戮,無一人能逃避,無一人能逃脫。

2 他們雖然挖透陰間,我的必取出他們來;雖然爬上去,我必拿他們來;

3 雖然藏在迦密山頂,我必搜尋,捉出他們來;雖然從我眼前藏在底,我必命咬他們;

4 雖被仇敵擄去,我必命刀殺戮他們;我必向他們定住眼目,降禍不降福。

5 ─萬軍之耶和華就消化,凡上的都必悲哀。必全然像尼羅河漲起,如同埃及河落下。

6 那在建造樓閣、在上安定穹蒼、命水澆在上的─耶和華是他的名。

7 耶和華以色列人哪,我豈不看你們如古實人嗎?我豈不是領以色列人埃及,領非利士人出迦斐託,領亞蘭人出吉珥嗎?

8 耶和華的眼目察看這有罪的國,必將這國從地上滅絕,卻不將雅各家滅絕淨盡。這是耶和華的。

9 我必出令,將以色列家分散在列國中,好像用篩子篩穀,連一粒也不落在上。

10 我民中的一切罪人:災禍必追不上我們,也迎不著我們。他們必在刀下。

11 到那日,我必建立大衛倒塌的帳幕,堵住其中的破口,把那破壞的建立起來,重新修造,像古時一樣,

12 使以色列人得以東所餘剩的和所有稱為我名下的國。此乃行這事的耶和華的。

13 耶和華:日子將到,耕種的必接續收割的;踹葡萄的必接續撒種的;大要滴下甜酒;小都必流奶(原文是消化,見約珥三章十八節)。

14 我必使我民以色列被擄的歸回;他們必重修荒廢的城邑居住,栽種葡萄園其中所出的酒,修造果木園,其中的果子。

15 我要將他們栽於本地,他們不再從我所賜他們的地上拔出來。這是耶和華─你的的。

Scriptural Confirmations #4

  
/ 101  
  

4. 2. The Son of God (Romans 1:3-4).

Called after Jesus Christ, Christians (Romans 1:6) through the faith of Jesus Christ (Romans 3:22).

Faith in Christ. Through Jesus Christ we have peace toward God, and to God we have access by faith into this grace, and we glory in the hope of the glory of God (Romans 5:1-2).

By Jesus Christ were we reconciled to God (Romans 5:10,11).

As by one man sin entered into the world, so by the justice of one are we justified (Romans 5:12, 13, 15, 18-19).

There is no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit, in order that the justification of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit (Romans 8:1-4). Christ is at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us (Romans 8:34).

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, distress, hunger, death, angels, principalities, height, depth, etc. (Romans 8:35-39)?

From the fathers Christ is according to the flesh, who is over all; God blessed forever. Amen (Romans 9:5).

Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved (Romans 10:13).

We are one body in Christ; all are members having different gifts according to grace (Romans 12:5-6). The gifts which belong to different members are enumerated in a long series (verses 6, 13).

Put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 13:14).

Whether we live, we live in the Lord; whether we die, we die in the Lord; therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord's. For to this end Christ both died and rose and lived again that He might be Lord both of the dead and of the living (Romans 14:8-9).

It is written, I live, saith the Lord, for every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God (Romans 14:11). Isaiah saith, there shall be a root of Jesse, and He that shall rise to rule over the nations; in Him shall the nations hope (Romans 15:12).

The Gospel of Christ (Romans 15:19-21).

Chosen and tried in the Lord, in Christ: to work and labor in the Lord (Romans 16:8-13).
