About Us 关于我们
Monergism.com is a free, comprehensive online theological library comprised of Reformed Christian resources designed to bring glory to Jesus Christ alone. The directory consists of original and aggregated content from around the world emphasizing the good news that salvation is God’s free gift for guilty sinners, not a reward for the righteous.
Monergism.com 是一个免费的综合性在线神学图书馆,由基督教改革派资源组成,旨在将荣耀归于耶稣基督一人。该目录包括来自世界各地的原创和汇总内容,强调救赎是上帝为有罪的罪人免费提供的礼物,而不是对义人的奖赏这一好消息。
We have the following goals:
我们的目标如下
1) To equip Christians in the truth by making available the finest classic articles and resources of historical orthodoxy. This is done in the hope that the church will embrace, and recover the gospel and true biblical doctrines of the historic Christian faith.1) 通过提供最优秀的正统历史经典文章和资源,在真理上装备基督徒。这样做的目的是希望教会能够接受和恢复福音以及历史上基督教信仰的真正圣经教义。
2) To encourage the church to always be reforming its thoughts in order to be more God-honoring & consistent with the Word of God. To declare the whole counsel of God and not just aspects we feel comfortable with, that the Gospel would affect and transform all areas of our life. To stress important doctrines that have been lost or set aside in the belief that it will help us in one of the most urgent tasks facing evangelicals today – the recovery of the gospel.2) 鼓励教会不断改进自己的思想,使之更加尊荣神,与神的话语保持一致。宣讲神的全部旨意,而不仅仅是我们觉得舒服的方面,让福音影响并改变我们生活的方方面面。强调已经失落或被搁置的重要教义,相信这将有助于我们完成福音派今天面临的最紧迫任务之一–复兴福音。
3) Bring glory and honor to God by stressing that the Scriptures are a divine Self-disclosure that is Christ-centered, not man-centered and that the work of salvation is a monergistic work of grace; that, prior to grace, man remains hostile, passive, unable and unwilling to turn to Christ until regenerated by the Holy Spirit. That salvation is not based on the fact that God knew which persons would believe of their own natural free will, for there is no person which fits that description (1 Cor 2:14; Rom 3:11; Rom 8:7; John 1:13; Rom 9:16,18;John 10:26). The decision was based in eternity upon God’s sovereign good pleasure alone (Eph 1:4-6; 2 Tim 1:9, Titus 1:2) and enacted in time through the redemptive work of Christ and applied to the elect by the Holy Spirit on those He redemptively set His affection on. Affirming these doctrines did not come through philosophical or confessional routes but through the route of biblical exegesis.3) 强调圣经是神圣的自我启示,是以基督为中心的,而不是以人为中心的,救赎的工作是恩典的单方工作;在恩典之前,人仍然是敌对的、被动的、不能也不愿意归向基督,直到被圣灵重生。救赎不是基于神知道哪些人会按照自己的自然自由意志信主,因为没有一个人符合这种描述(林前 2:14;罗 3:11;罗 8:7;约 1:13;罗 9:16,18;约 10:26)。这个决定在永恒中是基于上帝的主权美意(弗 1:4-6;提后 1:9;提多书 1:2),在时间中通过基督的救赎工作得以实现,并由圣灵应用于那些他救赎性地眷顾的选民。对这些教义的肯定不是通过哲学或忏悔的途径,而是通过圣经注释的途径。
To proclaim the truths of Scripture as reiterated in the 16th century Reformation that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, as revealed in the Scripture alone to the glory of God alone.宣扬 16 世纪宗教改革所重申的圣经真理,即救赎唯靠恩典,唯凭信心,唯在基督里,唯在圣经中启示,唯为荣耀上帝。
What is Monergism? Monergism is a theological term in which the prefix “mono” means “one” and the suffix “ergism” (ergon) means “to work”. Or together they mean, “the work of one”, or salvation is of the Lord alone, not a cooperation of man and God. If anyone is to be saved Jesus must grant everything we need for salvation, including a new heart to believe. (Deut 29:4, 30:6: Ezek 36:26; John 6:63, 65, 37). The Trinity works in harmony to bring about the salvation of his elect. The Father elects us in Christ, the Son redeems the same, and the Holy Spirit applies regeneration to the all those the Father has given the Son. The gospel indeed goes out to all people who hear it, but in the stubbornness of people’s hearts no one, left to themselves, responds to this outward call (1 Cor 1:23, 24; 2:14), so in love God extends mercy to a multitude of ill-deserving rebel sinners by opening their blind eyes, unstopping their deaf ears and turning their heart of stone to a heart of flesh, that they might believe and live ( Rom 9:15, 16). If anyone is to be saved, it is not because someone naturally had a good will, was more humble, was more wise, and someone else did not, but because Christ saved them, If someone trusts in Christ it is because He (Christ) gave them a good will that they might believe the gospel call. No one believes the gospel apart from effectual working of the Holy Spirit. (1 Cor 12:3; 1 Thess 1:4-5)
什么是 Monergism?Monergism是一个神学术语,前缀 “mono “意为 “一个”,后缀 “ergism”(ergon)意为 “工作”。合起来的意思是 “一个人的工作”,或者说救赎是主一个人的工作,而不是人与神的合作。如果有人要得救,耶稣就必须赐给我们得救所需的一切,包括一颗新的相信的心。(申命记 29:4,30:6;以西结书 36:26;约翰福音 6:63,65,37)。三位一体和谐工作,为他的选民带来救赎。天父在基督里拣选了我们,圣子救赎了我们,圣灵使所有天父赐予圣子的人重生。福音确实传给了所有听到它的人,但由于人们内心的固执,没有人会回应这向外的呼召(林前 1:23, 24; 2:14),因此上帝在爱中向众多罪有应得的叛逆罪人施以怜悯,睁开他们瞎眼,堵住他们聋耳,将他们的石心变成肉心,使他们可以信而得生(罗 9:15, 16)。如果有人要得救,不是因为某人天生有好的意愿,更谦卑,更有智慧,而其他人没有,而是因为基督拯救了他们;如果有人信靠基督,那是因为他(基督)给了他们好的意愿,使他们可以相信福音的呼召。没有圣灵的有效工作,就没有人相信福音。(林前 12:3;帖前 1:4-5)。

What is a Christian? One who, by the grace of God, can declare that he justly deserves the wrath of God, save for the mercy of Jesus Christ alone. He casts aside all hope in his self-righteousness and puts away all pride in his own goodness. One who is glad to be regarded as spiritually bankrupt, saved by the free grace and righteousness of Christ and, by the sheer mercy of God, has been granted a grateful heart which yields in allegiance to Him alone as LORD and sovereign. In a word, one who “glories in Christ Jesus and has no confidence in the flesh.” (Phil. 3:3)什么是基督徒?一个因着上帝的恩典,能够宣告自己理应受到上帝的愤怒,唯独耶稣基督的怜悯除外的人。他抛弃了自以为是的一切希望,摒弃了对自己良善的一切骄傲。一个被视为精神破产的人,因基督白白的恩典和公义而得救,因上帝纯粹的怜悯而获得一颗感恩的心,唯独效忠于作为耶和华和主宰的上帝。总之,一个 “以基督耶稣为荣,不倚靠肉体 “的人(腓 3:3)。(腓 3:3)

The nature of this online work requires some explanation. This directory of theology is intended primarily to provide free resources for equipping the saints (as well as informing skeptics) in the historic Christian faith, with an emphasis on the truth, necessity and sufficiency of Jesus Christ. We pray that God would look favorably upon our visitors and that you would find the site useful for pastoral, family or private study, and because its content is completely free, our hope is that it would be liberally used by pastors, theologians, those who visit the sick, the poor and for missionaries sent abroad by the Lord to the unreached.
本在线作品的性质需要做一些解释。本神学目录的主要目的是提供免费资源,以装备圣徒(以及告知怀疑论者)历史性的基督教信仰,重点是耶稣基督的真理、必要性和充足性。我们祈求上帝眷顾我们的访问者,让您发现该网站对教牧、家庭或个人学习有用。由于其内容完全免费,我们希望它能被牧师、神学家、探访病人和穷人的人以及被主派往国外未得之地的宣教士自由使用。
—————-
We find ourselves living in a day where an alarming number of those who call themselves evangelicals are abounding in obscurity, vagueness and indistinctness on doctrinal subjects with regard to our Lord Jesus Christ. The time is now that we come together as a body and publicly advocate a clear, well-defined, Spirit-illuminated, Bible-driven Christology, to demonstrate that the historic Reformed orthodox/evangelical view is thoroughly borne out by Scripture. We have endeavored to do so on this site on a multitude of topics and Scripture references.
我们发现自己生活在这样一个时代,许多自称为福音派的人在有关我们的主耶稣基督的教义问题上充斥着晦涩、含糊和不明确。现在是时候了,我们应该团结起来,公开倡导一种清晰、明确、被圣灵光照、以圣经为导向的基督论,以证明历史上改革宗正统派/福音派的观点是被圣经彻底证实的。我们在这个网站上就许多主题和经文参考资料努力做到了这一点。
The theological stand-point which the author(s) of this website holds should be obvious to any reader. Such an one will quickly discover that we belong to the historic evangelical school of theology. He will see that we hold firmly the doctrinal distinctives the Reformers and English Puritans. We are confessing Christians who affirm Covenant Theology and the five solas of the Reformation. We are Presbyterian, and unabashedly hold to the doctrines of grace … but you will indeed find a great deal of resources on this website from other traditions such as the Reformed Baptists, Reformed Anglicans and Conservative Lutherans because we believe we are in agreement with them on most vital matters of our faith. And while, with sadness, we repudiate of the loose and broad theology of many modern “evangelicals”, yet we should add, that in interpreting Scripture or espousing theology, we call no man master or father. We strive, by the grace of God. and your ongoing intercession, to never twist God’s Word in order to make it support our own party’s views. Throughout this Website we have endeavored honestly and conscientiously to ground every statement (and viewpoint) with the authority of the whole counsel of Scripture behind it. In doing so we seek to evade no difficulty and follow Scripture wherever it leads. We do not hesitate to express our disagreement with the views of others when occasion requires; but when we have done so we strive, by God’s grace, to do it with gentleness and respect (1 Pet 3:15).
对于任何读者来说,本网站作者所持的神学立场都是显而易见的。读者很快就会发现,我们属于历史悠久的福音派神学。他将看到,我们坚定地坚持宗教改革家和英国清教徒的教义特色。我们是忏悔的基督徒,肯定圣约神学和宗教改革的五大原则。我们是长老会教徒,毫不掩饰地坚持恩典教义……但你确实会在本网站上发现大量来自其他传统的资源,如改革浸信会、改革圣公会和保守路德宗,因为我们相信我们在信仰的大多数重要问题上与他们是一致的。虽然我们痛心地摒弃了许多现代 “福音派 “松散而宽泛的神学,但我们应该补充一点,在解释圣经或支持神学时,我们不称任何人为主或为父。靠着上帝的恩典和你们不断的代祷,我们努力做到绝不歪曲上帝的话语,使其支持我们自己一方的观点。在整个网站中,我们诚实而认真地努力使每一个声明(和观点)都以圣经的权威为基础。在这样做的过程中,我们力求不回避任何困难,并遵循圣经的指引。在必要的时候,我们会毫不犹豫地表达我们与他人观点的分歧;但当我们这样做时,我们会努力,靠着上帝的恩典,以温柔和尊重的态度去做(彼前 3:15)。
With this settled purpose of heart let us together seek the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ daily and long after more spiritual knowledge each year we live on earth. Let us deeply search the Scriptures together and pray over them with a growing dependence and zeal. Let us not just scratch the surface of Holy Scripture and thereby know very little of digging down into its hidden treasures. Instead we pray this ministry would be an engaging, vital resource to encourage the reading community to seek the LORD’s face on an ongoing basis that His word dwell in you more richly. And to this end we pray that we would all read our Bibles more diligently and the Spirit would open our eyes to its life-giving contents.
带着这颗坚定的心,让我们一起每天寻求主耶稣基督的同在,在我们生活在世上的每一年里,渴慕更多的属灵知识。让我们一起深入查考圣经,带着日益增长的依赖和热忱为圣经祷告。让我们不要仅仅停留在圣经的表面,从而对其隐藏的宝藏知之甚少。相反,我们祈求这项事工能成为一项吸引人的重要资源,鼓励阅读群体不断寻求耶和华的面容,让祂的话语更丰富地居住在你们里面。为此,我们祈求大家都能更加勤奋地阅读《圣经》,圣灵也能打开我们的眼睛,让我们看到《圣经》中赋予生命的内容。
Ignorance of the contents of Scripture and the centrality of Jesus Christ as its focal point is the root and foundation of every error. If the Lord would be pleased to allow this work to remove a few granules of ignorance, and to cast a few beams of light on God’s precious word,it would be the greatest honor imaginable.
对圣经内容以及耶稣基督作为其核心的无知,是一切错误的根源和基础。如果主乐意让这项工作消除一些无知的颗粒,为上帝宝贵的话语投下几束亮光,那将是最大的荣耀。
We now conclude this short introduction to our directory with an earnest prayer, that it may please God to pardon the many deficiencies of this website, and that, in spite of ourselves, He would use it for His own glory and for the benefit of saving and richly blessing multitudes of souls. It has cost us a large amount of time and labor to put this website together. But if the Holy Spirit should see fit to utilize it to benefit the church, we will be amply repaid.
现在,我们以恳切的祷告结束这篇简短的目录介绍,求神赦免本网站的许多不足之处,求神使用它来荣耀祂自己,并拯救和丰富祝福众多的灵魂。我们花费了大量的时间和精力来建立这个网站。但是,如果圣灵看准了利用它来造福教会,我们就会得到充分的回报。
