出埃及記 3:15 神又對摩西說:「你要對以色列人這樣說:『耶和華—你們祖宗的 神,就是亞伯拉罕的 神,以撒的 神,雅各的 神差派我到你們這裏來。』這是我的名,直到永遠;這也是我的稱號「紀念』,直到萬代。」
Exodus 3:15 God also said to Moses, “Say this to the people of Israel: ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is my name forever, and thus I am to be remembered throughout all generations.
當摩西向上帝詢問祂的名字時,上帝不只是說祂的名字是什麼。 他重申並確認了自己與摩西先祖之間的關係。 當上帝與亞伯拉罕立約時,他打算成為亞伯拉罕每一代後代的上帝,也就是說,“要世世代代銘記”。 傳福音包括與非信徒分享福音,但這首先是將我們的信仰傳給了下一代。 當我們得救時,我們需要知道上帝希望在我們後代的所有子孫後代中被銘記。 這項任務不僅僅是讓我們的孩子參加教會活動。 讓我們首先記念上帝要我們記念的!
When Moses asked God about His name, God did not just state what His name was. He reiterated and confirmed the relationship between Himself and Moses’ forefathers. When God had established His covenant with Abraham, He had intended to be the God of each generation of Abraham’s descendants, that is, to “be remembered throughout all generations.” Evangelism includes sharing the gospel with nonbelievers, but it is first passing our faith onto the next generation. When we are saved, we need to know that God wants to be remembered through all the coming generations of our descendants. This task is more than just bringing our children to join church programs. Let us first remember what God wants us to remember!
