常见疑虑

我怕信主后遭到家人反对和社会逼迫,所以不敢信。

I'm afraid of family opposition and social persecution if I believe, so I don't dare.

简答 Short Answer

耶稣从未隐瞒跟随祂要付代价。但祂应许:为祂所舍弃的,必得百倍的回报。并且圣灵会赐给你面对逼迫的力量和平安。

Jesus never hid that following Him costs something. But He promised that what is given up for Him will be repaid a hundredfold, and the Holy Spirit will give you strength and peace to face persecution.

详细解答 Detailed Answer

你的担忧是真实的,也是诚实的。耶稣自己预言了这一点:「你们在世上有苦难」(约翰福音16:33);「人的仇敌就是自己家里的人」(马太福音10:36)。基督从不用虚假的承诺吸引人——祂坦诚告诉门徒要背起十字架。

但请你思考几件事:

1. 代价与价值的对比。 保罗说:「我想,现在的苦楚若比起将来要显于我们的荣耀,就不足介意了」(罗马书8:18)。信主的代价是暂时的,但得到的是永恒的生命和与神的关系。

2. 神赐给够用的恩典。 初代教会的信徒面对的逼迫远比我们严重——被关监狱、被扔给狮子、被钉十字架——但他们靠着圣灵的力量站立得住,甚至在苦难中喜乐(使徒行传5:41)。神不一定除去困难,但祂一定给你胜过困难的力量。

3. 你的生命可能改变家人。 很多基督徒的见证是:家人起初强烈反对,但看到信主后生命的真实改变,最终也被吸引归向基督。你的忍耐和爱心可能成为家人得救的途径。

4. 比人的看法更重要的。 「惧怕人的,陷入网罗;惟有倚靠耶和华的,必得安稳」(箴言29:25)。人的反对是暂时的,但在永恒的审判面前,你站在哪一边才是真正重要的。

耶稣说:「在人前认我的,我在天父面前也必认他」(马太福音10:32)。鼓起勇气,神与你同在。

Your fear is real and honest. Jesus Himself predicted this: 'In this world you will have trouble' (John 16:33); 'A person's enemies will be those of his own household' (Matthew 10:36). Christ never used false promises to attract followers — He told His disciples plainly to take up their cross.

But consider these things:

1. Compare the cost with the value. Paul said: 'I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us' (Romans 8:18). The cost of faith is temporary, but what you gain — eternal life and relationship with God — is forever.

2. God gives sufficient grace. Early church believers faced far worse persecution — imprisonment, thrown to lions, crucifixion — yet stood firm by the Spirit's power, even rejoicing in suffering (Acts 5:41). God may not remove difficulties, but He always gives strength to overcome them.

3. Your life may transform your family. Many Christians testify: family members initially opposed fiercely, but seeing genuine life transformation eventually drew them to Christ. Your patience and love may become the pathway to your family's salvation.

4. What matters more than human opinion. 'The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe' (Proverbs 29:25). Human opposition is temporary, but where you stand before the eternal Judge is what truly matters.

Jesus said: 'Everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven' (Matthew 10:32). Take courage — God is with you.
