Kisah Para Rasul 14:3

Oleh itu mereka tinggal di sana untuk waktu yang lama dengan berani bercakap dengan bergantung kepada Tuhan, yang memberi kesaksian tentang firman kasih karunia-Nya, yang memberikan tanda-tanda dan keajaiban-keajaiban dilakukan oleh tangan mereka.

Firman rahmatNya adalah sinonim dengan injil rahmat; lihat kemasukan for Acts 20:24.

Kisah Para Rasul 14:7

dan di sana mereka terus memberitakan Injil.

Injil merujuk kepada Injil Kristus atau Injil Tuhan atau Injil Kerajaan. Ini semua adalah label yang berbeza untuk Injil rahmat. Lihat kemasukan untuk Injil.

Kisah Para Rasul 14:15

dan berkata, “Hai sekalian, mengapa kamu melakukan perkara-perkara ini? Kami juga adalah orang-orang yang serupa dengan kamu, dan memberitakan Injil kepada kamu supaya kamu berbalik dari perkara-perkara yang sia-sia ini kepada Allah yang hidup, YANG MENJADIKAN LANGIT DAN BUMI DAN LAUT DAN SEMUA YANG ADA DI DALAMNYA.

(a) Injil refers to the gospel of Christ or the gospel of God or the gospel of the kingdom. These are all different labels for the gospel of grace. See kemasukan untuk Injil.

(b) Berbaliklah… kepada Tuhan yang hidup. Dalam perjanjian baru, pertaubatan sering digambarkan sebagai kembali atau berpaling kepada Tuhan (lihat kemasukan for Acts 26:20).

Acts 14:19

But Jews came from Antioch and Iconium, and having won over the crowds, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing him to be dead.

(a) Antioch. That is Psidian Antioch, rather than Syrian Antioch, where Paul had recently been (Acts 13:14).

(b) Iconium. In Iconium, the Jews plotted to stone Paul (Acts 14:5). When Paul escaped, they followed him to Lystra and stoned him there.

Acts 14:20

But while the disciples stood around him, he got up and entered the city. The next day he went away with Barnabas to Derbe.

He went away. Perhaps no one faced more persecution than the Apostle Paul and his standard response was to walk away.

Stoned and left for dead in Lystra, Paul picked himself and went to Derbe (Acts 14:19–20). Beaten with rods and imprisoned in Philippi, he left shortly after (Acts 16:22–40). When hounded by Judaizers in Berea and Ephesus, Paul upped stakes and moved on (Acts 17:13–15, 20:1). Paul was no coward, but when facing persecution he typically walked away. He endured, stayed alive, and kept preaching, just as the Lord had instructed (see kemasukan for Matt. 10:23).

Kisah Para Rasul 14:21

Setelah mereka memberitakan Injil ke kota itu dan telah menjadikan ramai murid, mereka kembali ke Listra dan Ikonium dan Antiokhia,

(a) Injil merujuk kepada Injil Kristus atau Injil Tuhan atau Injil Kerajaan. Ini semua adalah label yang berbeza untuk Injil rahmat. Lihat kemasukan untuk Injil.

(b) Made many disciples. The original verb mathēteuō means “to teach.” A literal translation is, “they taught many.”

Kisah Para Rasul 14:22

menguatkan jiwa murid-murid, mendorong mereka untuk tetap dalam iman, dan berkata, "Melalui banyak kesusahan kita harus masuk ke dalam Kerajaan Allah."

(a) Teruskan dalam iman. To continue in the faith is to continue trusting in Jesus. As you have received Christ Jesus (by faith), so walk in him (by faith; see Col. 2:6).

In the New Testament we are exhorted to continue in God’s kindness (Rom. 11:22), continue in the faith (Col. 1:23), continue in the teaching of Christ (2 John 1:9), and continue in what we have learned and been convinced of (2 Tim 3:14). In short, we are to continue in the grace of God (Acts 13:43).

Setiap orang Kristian tahu apa maksudnya bermula dengan rahmat Tuhan tetapi bukan setiap orang Kristian berterusan dalam rahmat Allah. Godaan untuk mengambil sedikit insurans kerja adalah kuat dalam budaya di mana prestasi dipuja.

One sign that you are not continuing in the faith is that you are more conscious of your lack than you are of the Lord’s supply. You may think, I’m not holy enough, righteous enough, or fruitful enough. Paul corrects this misperception by reminding us “in Christ you have been brought to fullness” (Col. 2:10).

Bagaimanakah anda meneruskan iman? Dengan mengakui bahawa dalam Kristus anda tidak kekurangan apa-apa yang baik. Dalam Kristus, anda adalah sama benar dan suci seperti Dia dan anda berkenan kepada Tuhan selama-lamanya.

(b) “The faith” is another name for the gospel of Christ; see kemasukan for Acts 6:7.

(c) Melalui banyak kesusahan kita mesti masuk ke dalam kerajaan Tuhan. Those who follow Jesus can expect trials and tribulations in this world (John 15:20). More than most, Paul knew the truth of this statement (Eph. 3:13, 2 Cor. 11:24–27).

(d) Tribulations are troubles such as arise from persecution, imprisonment and martyrdom (Matt. 24:9, Eph. 3:13, Rev. 1:9, 2:9).

(e) The kingdom of God is synonymous with the kingdom of heaven; see kemasukan for Matt. 3:2.

Acts 14:23

When they had appointed elders for them in every church, having prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord in whom they had believed.

Elders. An elder or overseer is responsible for shepherding the church. See kemasukan for 1 Tim. 5:17.

Acts 14:28

And they spent a long time with the disciples.

Disciples. The first Christians called themselves disciples or followers, which was a holdover from the time when people followed Jesus. However, none of the New Testament epistle writers used this word. See kemasukan for Acts 6:1.
