Hebrews:
הפרק 4
ועתה מה נאמר על אברהם אבינו מה זה השיג לפי הבשר׃
2 כי אם נצדק אברהם מתוך המעשים לו התהלה אך לא לפני האלהים׃
3 כי הכתוב מה הוא אמר והאמן אברהם ביהוה ויחשבה לו צדקה׃
4 הנה הפעל לא יחשב לו שכרו על פי החסד כי אם על פי החוב׃
5 אבל לאשר איננו פעל כי אם מאמין במצדיק את הרשע אמונתו תחשב לו לצדקה׃
6 כאשר גם דוד מאשר את האדם אשר האלהים יחשב לו צדקה בלא מעשים באמרו׃
7 אשרי נשוי פשע כסוי חטאה׃
8 אשרי אדם לא יחשב יהוה לו עון׃
9 ועתה האשור הזה העל המילה הוא אם גם על הערלה הלא אמרנו כי לאברהם נחשבה אמונתו לצדקה׃
10 ואין נחשבה לו אם בהיותו מהול או בעודנו ערל הן לא בהיותו מהול כי אם בערלתו׃
11 ואות המילה קבל לחותם צדקת האמונה אשר היתה לו בערלתו להיות לאב לכל המאמינים והם ערלים למען אף להם תחשב הצדקה׃
12 ולהיות לאב גם למולים אך לא לאשר הם נמולים לבד כי אם גם הלכים בעקבות האמונה שהיתה לו לאברהם בעודנו בערלתו׃
13 כי לא על ידי תורה באה ההבטחה לאברהם ולזרעו להיותו ירש העולם כי אם על ידי צדקת האמונה׃
14 כי אלו לבני התורה הירשה האמונה לריק תהיה וההבטחה בטלה׃
15 כי התורה מביאה קצף כי באשר אין תורה גם אין שם עברה׃
16 על כן מתוך אמונה למען לפי חסד למען תחיה ההבטחה קימת לכל זרעו לא לבני התורה לבדם כי גם לבני אמונת אברהם אשר הוא אב לכלנו׃
17 ככתוב כי אב המון גוים נתתיך והוא האמין בהביט אל אל המחיה את המתים והקורא את אשר לא היה כמו הוה׃
18 באשר אין תקוה קוה ויאמן למען אשר יהיה לאב המון גוים כמו שנאמר כה יהיה זרעך׃
19 ולא רפתה אמונתו ולא התבונן אל גופו שכבר נפוג בהיותו כבן מאת שנה ואל בלות רחם שרה׃
20 ולא חלק לבו בהבטחת האלהים כחסר האמונה כי אם התחזק באמונתו ויתן כבוד לאלהים׃
21 וידע בלבב שלם כי את אשר הבטיח גם יכל לעשותו׃
22 על כן גם נחשבה לו לצדקה׃
23 ולא לבד למענו כתובה זאת שנחשבה לו׃
24 כי אם גם למעננו אשר עתידה להחשב לנו המאמינים במי שהעיר את ישוע אדנינו מן המתים׃
25 אשר נמסר בעבור פשעינו ונעור לבעבור צדקנו׃
English:
"The Faith of Abraham
Abraham was, humanly speaking, the founder of our Jewish nation. What did he discover about being made right with God? If his good deeds had made him acceptable to God, he would have had something to boast about. But that was not God’s way. For the Scriptures tell us, “Abraham believed God, and God counted him as righteous because of his faith.”
When people work, their wages are not a gift, but something they have earned. But people are counted as righteous, not because of their work, but because of their faith in God who forgives sinners. David also spoke of this when he described the happiness of those who are declared righteous without working for it:
“Oh, what joy for those whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sins are put out of sight. Yes, what joy for those whose record the Lord has cleared of sin.”
Now, is this blessing only for the Jews, or is it also for uncircumcised Gentiles? Well, we have been saying that Abraham was counted as righteous by God because of his faith. But how did this happen? Was he counted as righteous only after he was circumcised, or was it before he was circumcised? Clearly, God accepted Abraham before he was circumcised!
Circumcision was a sign that Abraham already had faith and that God had already accepted him and declared him to be righteous—even before he was circumcised. So Abraham is the spiritual father of those who have faith but have not been circumcised. They are counted as righteous because of their faith. And Abraham is also the spiritual father of those who have been circumcised, but only if they have the same kind of faith Abraham had before he was circumcised.
Clearly, God’s promise to give the whole earth to Abraham and his descendants was based not on his obedience to God’s law, but on a right relationship with God that comes by faith. If God’s promise is only for those who obey the law, then faith is not necessary and the promise is pointless. For the law always brings punishment on those who try to obey it. (The only way to avoid breaking the law is to have no law to break!)
So the promise is received by faith. It is given as a free gift. And we are all certain to receive it, whether or not we live according to the law of Moses, if we have faith like Abraham’s. For Abraham is the father of all who believe. That is what the Scriptures mean when God told him, “I have made you the father of many nations.” This happened because Abraham believed in the God who brings the dead back to life and who creates new things out of nothing.
Even when there was no reason for hope, Abraham kept hoping—believing that he would become the father of many nations. For God had said to him, “That’s how many descendants you will have!” And Abraham’s faith did not weaken, even though, at about 100 years of age, he figured his body was as good as dead—and so was Sarah’s womb.
Abraham never wavered in believing God’s promise. In fact, his faith grew stronger, and in this he brought glory to God. He was fully convinced that God is able to do whatever he promises. And because of Abraham’s faith, God counted him as righteous. And when God counted him as righteous, it wasn’t just for Abraham’s benefit. It was recorded for our benefit, too, assuring us that God will also count us as righteous if we believe in him, the one who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. He was handed over to die because of our sins, and he was raised to life to make us right with God."
Verse of the day:
Galatians 4:4-7:
"But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship. Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.” So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir."
Scripture of the day:
Ephesians 3:
"God’s Mysterious Plan Revealed
When I think of all this, I, Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus for the benefit of you Gentiles. . . assuming, by the way, that you know God gave me the special responsibility of extending his grace to you Gentiles. As I briefly wrote earlier, God himself revealed his mysterious plan to me. As you read what I have written, you will understand my insight into this plan regarding Christ. God did not reveal it to previous generations, but now by his Spirit he has revealed it to his holy apostles and prophets.
And this is God’s plan: Both Gentiles and Jews who believe the Good News share equally in the riches inherited by God’s children. Both are part of the same body, and both enjoy the promise of blessings because they belong to Christ Jesus. By God’s grace and mighty power, I have been given the privilege of serving him by spreading this Good News.
Though I am the least deserving of all God’s people, he graciously gave me the privilege of telling the Gentiles about the endless treasures available to them in Christ. I was chosen to explain to everyone this mysterious plan that God, the Creator of all things, had kept secret from the beginning.
God’s purpose in all this was to use the church to display his wisdom in its rich variety to all the unseen rulers and authorities in the heavenly places. This was his eternal plan, which he carried out through Christ Jesus our Lord.
Because of Christ and our faith in him, we can now come boldly and confidently into God’s presence. So please don’t lose heart because of my trials here. I am suffering for you, so you should feel honored.
Paul’s Prayer for Spiritual Growth
When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.
Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen."
