后来我所拣选的那人，他的杖必发芽。这样，我必使以色列人向你们所发的怨言止息，不再达到我耳中。”【民17: 5】
为止息背叛，神自己来证明祂所设立的权柄是出乎神的，为要叫以色列人看见神设立权柄有理由和根据。
神吩咐十二个首领按支派，共取十二根杖，存在会幕内法柜前。凡神所拣选的人，他的杖必发芽。十二根杖都没有叶子、没有根，都是枯死的。神说，若有那一根能发芽，那一根就是神所拣选的。在这里，就说明复活乃是神拣选的根据；复活乃是权柄的根据。神证实祂设立人作权柄的根据乃是复活，祂用此来止息人的怨言。
事奉的根据，乃是在我们的天然之外的。就是神另给我们复活的生命，我们才能有权柄。权柄不在于人如何，乃在于他身上有复活。这十二根杖在法柜里过了一夜，神使亚伦的杖发了芽，生了花苞，结了熟杏。乃是因为神的怜悯、挑选。从那时起，亚伦不是靠杖来事奉，乃是靠复活的生命来事奉。
人不能凭他自己的地位来事奉神，必须靠神的拣选。权柄不是争来的，乃是神设立的；一切都在于恩典，在于拣选，并在于复活。
我们要学谦卑，不要以为在属灵的事上稍微学了一点，就觉得自己与别人不同了。一切都是神的恩典，都是神给的，一切都是我们自己办不到的。亚伦知道在神面前事奉，事奉在于复活；而复活在于神，不在于我们。奉主耶稣基督的圣名祈求！阿们！
学习体会：复活指明一切出于神的。今天神所能的，不单是创造，乃是复活。神最大的能力，还不是彰显在创造上，乃是彰显在复活上。一切的死亡乃是我的，一切的生命乃是主的。权柄是在复活里面。所以权柄不在你身上，乃在主身上。蒙主恩典！阿们！

可拉招聚全会众到会幕门前，要攻击摩西、亚伦；耶和华的荣光就向全会众显现。【民十六19】
这个背叛是可拉带头的，称可拉党，有两百五十个首领就跟着他们走，跟着他们背叛。可拉谋取祭司职分的意图，神發动西乃半岛的地震，把整块的地就震开了。
这二百五十个首领 : 代表社会身份、地位高的有能力，有权力的人。他们本来就因自己的地位和权力被掩盖而生气,恰好遇见可拉的叛逆,就毫不犹豫地参与了, 最终违背了神的旨意。
这些人不肯进去迦南，反而责怪摩西。到此他们的悖逆已达绝境了，除了审判，再无办法挽回了。可拉一党人就来到会幕前，并且再度攻击摩西、亚伦；这时耶和华的荣光就向全会众显现。
神出来要审判。可拉是主动背叛者，会众是附和者；当时神不只要除灭主动者，连附和者也都要除灭。但摩西向神俯伏，为全会众祈求，求神保全会众。神吩咐会众离开他们。于是神审判了可拉、大坍、亚比兰。
神最后让三个家灭亡了，二百五十个首领全被烧灭了。神施行了一次大的审判，来建立祂代表的权柄。以色列全会众，虽然亲眼看见地开了口，当时也都惧怕逃跑，但他们是惧怕刑罚，而不是惧怕神；
他们想了一夜，第二天又背叛了；全会众同声向摩西、亚伦发怨言说，「你们杀了耶和华的百姓了」。这次，神是立即出来，要灭绝全会众。摩西立刻叫亚伦起来，拿着香炉快到会众那里，去为他们献祭赎罪。
摩西知道以色列民将要遭遇的悲惨后果；他也知道以色列人一切的损失，实在乃是神的损失。所以他还希望神有赦罪之恩，他的心是满了爱和怜悯。摩西叫亚伦快速的献祭为民赎罪。这里是代祷，又加上救赎。但此时瘟疫已经发作，亚伦赶快跑来，站在活人与死人中间，瘟疫才止住；这一次因瘟疫而死的，共有一万四千七百人。
摩西不仅要将顺服的人背负在身上，也要将背叛的人背负在自己的身上。他们反对他、弃绝他，他仍替他们代祷。神执行公义，却能满了恩典。奉主耶稣基督的圣名祈求！阿们！
学习体会：凡是待人公义的，也必待人以恩典。我们要学习受攻击还能祝福，被弃绝还能代祷，被得罪还能为人求赦罪。蒙主恩典！阿们！
3.2b. bor…
The Lord Jesus Christ is talking to Nicodemus, a prominent Pharisee and member of the Sanhedrin (the ruling body of the Jews)Nicodemus had come to Jesus at night with some questions.
As Jesus talked with Nicodemus, He said, “I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.’ ‘How can a man be born when he is old?’ Nicodemus asked. ‘Surely he cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb to be born!’ Jesus answered, ‘I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. You should not be surprised at my saying, “You must be born again”” (John 3:3-7).
The phrase “born again” literally means “born from above.” Nicodemus had a real need. He needed a change of his heart—a spiritual transformation. New birth, being born again, is an act of God whereby eternal life is imparted to the person who believes (2 Corinthians 5:17)John 1:12, 13 indicates that being “born again” also carries the idea of “becoming children of God” through trust in the name of Jesus Christ.
The question logically comes, “Why does a person need to be born again?” The apostle Paul in Ephesians 2:1 says, “And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins” To the Romans he wrote, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23)Sinners are spiritually “dead”; when they receive spiritual life through faith in Christ, the Bible likens it to a rebirth. Only those who are born again have their sins forgiven and have a relationship with God.
How does that come to be? Ephesians 2:8-9 states, “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast.” When one is saved, he/she has been born again, spiritually renewed, and is now a child of God by right of new birth. Trusting in Jesus Christ, the One who paid the penalty of sin when He died on the cross, is the means to be “born again.” “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation: the old has gone, the new has come!” (2 Corinthians 5:17)
If you have never trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior, will you consider the prompting of the Holy Spirit as He speaks to your heart? You need to be born again. Will you pray the prayer of repentance and become a new creation in Christ today? “Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God” (John 1:12-13)
If you want to accept Jesus Christ as your Savior and be born again, here is a sample prayer. Remember, saying this prayer or any other prayer will not save you. It is only trusting in Christ that can save you from sin. This prayer is simply a way to express to God your faith in Him and thank Him for providing for your salvation. “God, I know that I have sinned against you and am deserving of punishment. But Jesus Christ took the punishment that I deserve so that through faith in Him I could be forgiven. I place my trust in You for salvation. Thank You for Your wonderful grace and forgiveness—the gift of eternal life! Amen!”
3.2a. 重生
重生基督徒意味着什么？回答这个问题的圣经的经典章节是约翰福音3：1-21：主耶稣基督跟尼哥底母，一个当犹太人官的法利赛人的对话；尼哥底母在夜间来找耶稣询问。
当耶稣跟尼哥底母谈话的时候，他说：“我实实在在地告诉你：人若不重生，就不能见神的国。”尼哥底母说：“人已经老了，如何能重生呢？岂能再进母腹生出来吗？”耶稣说：“我实实在在地告诉你：人若不是从水和圣灵生的，就不能进神的国。从肉身生的，就是肉身；从灵生的，就是灵。我说，‘你们必须重生’，你不要以为希奇”（约翰福音3：3-7）
“重生”这个词字面上的意思是“从上面生”。 尼哥底母有一个真切的需要，他需要改变他的心——一个灵里的转换。新的生命，再一次出生，那是神的作为；藉着重生，永生被赋予信耶稣的人（哥林多后书5：17）约翰福音1：12，13 指出“重生”还意味着通过信耶稣基督的名“成为神的孩子”。
按照逻辑会产生这样的问题：“为什么一个人需要重生？”使徒保罗在以弗所书２：１中说：“你们死在过犯罪恶之中，他叫你们活过来”罗马书3:23中使徒保罗为罗马教会写道：“因为世人都犯了罪，亏缺了神的荣耀。”因此，一个人只有重生他的罪才被赦免，才能与神重新建立关系。
怎么会那样呢？以弗所书2：8说：“你们得救是本乎恩，也因着信。这并不是出于自己，乃是神所赐的；也不是出于行为，免得有人自夸。”当一个人被“拯救”，他／她就已经重生，灵命更新，通过重生成为神的孩子。灵命的重生是指相信耶稣基督为偿还罪的责罚死在十字架上。“若有人在基督里，他就是新造的人”（哥林多后书５：１７）
如果你还未相信耶稣基督为救主，那么此时圣灵正开启你的心扉，你会受鼓舞而考虑做出这个决定吗？你需要重生。今天你会做悔改的祷告成为在基督里的新生命吗？“凡接待他的，就是信他名的人，他就赐他们权柄，作神的儿女。这等人不是从血气生的，不是从情欲生的，也不是从人意生的，乃是从神生的”（约翰福音1：12-13）
如果你想接受耶稣基督为救主而获得重生，以下是一个简短的祷告。切记，单是说出这则祷告词不会拯救你，只有相信耶稣才能救你脱离罪。这个祷告是向神表示你相信他并感谢他的救恩。“神啊，我知道我有罪配得惩罚，但耶稣基督代我受罚，只有信靠他我的罪才能被赦免。我要摒弃我的罪并信靠你。感谢你的恩典和赦免！阿门！
3.1bb. I …
1. Make sure you understand salvation.
First John 5:13 tells us, “I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.” God wants us to understand salvation. God wants us to have the confidence of knowing for sure that we are saved. Briefly, let’s go over the key points of salvation:
(a) We have all sinned. We have all done things that are displeasing to God (Romans 3:23)
(b) Because of our sin, we deserve to be punished with eternal separation from God (Romans 6:23)
(c) Jesus died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins (Romans 5:8)Jesus died in our place, taking the punishment that we deserved. Jesus’ resurrection proved that His death was sufficient to pay for our sins.
(d) God grants forgiveness and salvation to all those who place their faith in Jesus—trusting His death as the payment for our sins (John 3:16)
(e) The Holy Spirit comes to reside permanently within at the moment of faith. He assures us of everlasting life. He teaches us God’s Word and empowers us to live according to it.
That is the message of salvation! If you have placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your Savior, you are saved! All of your sins are forgiven, and God promises to never leave you or forsake you (Romans 8:38)Remember, your salvation is secure in Jesus Christ (John 10:28–29)If you are trusting in Jesus alone as your Savior, you can have confidence that you will spend eternity with God in heaven!
2. Find a good church that teaches the Bible.
Don’t think of the church as a building. The church is the people. It is very important that believers in Jesus Christ fellowship with one another. That is one of the primary purposes of the church. Now that you have placed your faith in Jesus Christ, we strongly encourage you to find a Bible-believing church in your area and speak to the pastor. Let him know about your new faith in Jesus Christ.
A second purpose of the church is to teach the Bible. You can learn how to apply God’s instructions to your life. Understanding the Bible is key to living a successful and powerful Christian life. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 says, “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
A third purpose of the church is worship. Worship is thanking God for all He has done! God has saved us. God loves us. God provides for us. God guides and directs us. How could we not thank Him? God is holy, righteous, loving, merciful, and full of grace. Revelation 4:11 declares, “You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.”
3. Set aside time each day to focus on God.
It is very important for us to spend time each day focusing on God. Some people call this a “quiet time.” Others call it “devotions,” because it is a time when we devote ourselves to God. Some prefer to set aside time in the mornings, while others prefer the evenings. It does not matter what you call this time or when you do it. What matters is that you regularly spend time with God. What events make up our time with God?
(a) Prayer. Prayer is simply talking to God. Talk to God about your concerns and problems. Ask God to give you wisdom and guidance. Ask God to provide for your needs. Tell God how much you love Him and how much you appreciate all He does for you. That is what prayer is all about.
(b) Bible Reading. In addition to being taught the Bible in church, Sunday School, and/or Bible studies – you need to be reading the Bible for yourself. The Bible contains everything you need to know in order to live a successful Christian life. It contains God’s guidance for how to make wise decisions, how to know God’s will, how to minister to others, and how to grow spiritually. The Bible is God’s Word to us. The Bible is essentially God’s instruction manual for how to live our lives in a way that is pleasing to Him and satisfying to us.
4. Develop relationships with people who can help you spiritually.
1 Corinthians 15:33 tells us, “Do not be misled: ‘Bad company corrupts good character.’” The Bible is full of warnings about the influence “bad” people can have on us. Spending time with those who engage in sinful activities will cause us to be tempted by those activities. The character of those we are around will “rub off” on us. That is why it is so important to surround ourselves with other people who love the Lord and are committed to Him.
Try to find a friend or two, perhaps from your church, who can help you and encourage you (Hebrews 3:13)Ask your friends to keep you accountable in regard to your quiet time, your activities, and your walk with God. Ask if you can do the same for them. This does not mean you have to give up all your friends who do not know the Lord Jesus as their Savior. Continue to be their friend and love them. Simply let them know that Jesus has changed your life and you cannot do all the same things you used to do. Ask God to give you opportunities to share Jesus with your friends.
5. Be baptized.
Many people have a misunderstanding of baptism. The word baptize means “to immerse in water.” Baptism is the biblical way of publicly proclaiming your new faith in Christ and your commitment to follow Him. The action of being immersed in the water illustrates being buried with Christ. The action of coming out of the water pictures Christ’s resurrection. Being baptized is identifying yourself with Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection (Romans 6:3-4)
Baptism is not what saves you. Baptism does not wash away your sins. Baptism is simply a step of obedience, a public proclamation of your faith in Christ alone for salvation. Baptism is important because it is a step of obedience – publicly declaring faith in Christ and your commitment to Him. If you are ready to be baptized, you should speak with a pastor.
3.1b. Got…
Jesus Christ, the sinless (1 Peter 2:22), eternal Son of God became a man (John 1:1) and died to pay our penalty. “God demonstrates His love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8) Jesus Christ died on the cross (John 19:31-42), taking the punishment that we deserve (2 Corinthians 5:21)Three days later He rose from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:1-4), proving His victory over sin and death. “In His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead” (1 Peter 1:3)
By faith, we must change our mindset regarding Christ – who He is, what He did, and why – for salvation (Acts 3:19)If we place our faith in Him, trusting His death on the cross to pay for our sins, we will be forgiven and receive the promise of eternal life in heaven. “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son so that anyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16)”If you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9)Faith alone in the finished work of Christ on the cross is the only true path to eternal life! “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not of yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9)
If you want to accept Jesus Christ as your Savior, here is a sample prayer. Remember, saying this prayer or any other prayer will not save you. It is only trusting in Christ that can save you from sin. This prayer is simply a way to express to God your faith in Him and thank Him for providing for your salvation. “God, I know that I have sinned against you and deserve punishment. But Jesus Christ took the punishment that I deserve so that through faith in Him I could be forgiven. I place my trust in You for salvation. Thank You for Your wonderful grace and forgiveness – the gift of eternal life! Amen!”

3.1ab. 我决…
我刚决志信主。
祝贺你！你作了一个改变生命的决定。以下的五个步骤会给你圣经方面的引导；
１． 确信你明白救恩。
约翰一书5节13 章告诉我们：“我将这些话写给你们信奉神儿子之名的 人，要叫你们知道自己有永生。” 神要我们明白救恩，神要我们自信确实被拯救。我们来简单叙述救恩的几个要点：
（ａ）我们都有罪。我们都做过让神不高兴的事（罗马书３：２３）
（ｂ）因为罪，我们得承受与神永久隔离的惩罚 （罗马书６：２３）
（ｃ）耶稣死在十字架上替我们赎罪 （罗马书５：８）,耶稣为我们死，替我们受罚。耶稣的复活证明它的死足以偿还我们的罪。
（ｄ）神赦免我们的罪并因我们的信赐给我们永生——相信他的死偿还了我们的罪（约翰福音３：１６）
这就是关于救恩的真理要道！如果你信耶稣基督为救主，你就得救了！你的罪被赦免，神许诺永不离弃你（罗马书８：３８－３９）切记，你的救赎在耶稣基督里是信实的（约翰福音１０：２８－２９）如果相信耶稣是你的救主，你可以坚信你将与神在天堂共享永生！
２．找一间传授圣经的好教会。
切勿认为教会就是一栋建筑；教会是人的群体。基督徒之间的交通很重要，这是教会的主要目的之一。现在你已经信仰基督，我们特别鼓励你在附近找一间相信圣经的教会并且跟牧师谈谈，告诉他你的新信仰。
教会的第二个目的是教授圣经。你能学会怎样让神指导你的生活；理解圣经是成功，积极的基督徒生活的根基。提摩太后书３：１６－１７节说：“圣经都是神所默示的，于教训，督责，使人归正，教导人学义都是有益的，叫属神的人得以完全，预备行各样的善事。”
教会的第三个目的是敬拜。敬拜是感谢神所为！神拯救了我们，神爱我们，神供应我们，神指引我们。我们怎能不感谢他？神是圣洁，公义，慈爱，充满恩典的。启示录４：１１说：“我们的主，我们的神，你是配得荣耀，尊贵，权柄的，因为你创造了万物，并且万物是因你的旨意被创造而有的。”
３．每天固定一段时间仰望神。
我们每天花一段时间仰望神很重要。有些人把这称作“安静时间”；有些人称它“灵修”，因为这是把我们自己献给神的时间。有些人喜欢早晨做，有些人喜欢晚上。至于什么时间做或你把它叫什么都没关系，重要的是你能经常地与神交通。我们通过什么与神交通呢？
（ａ）祷告。祷告是跟神说话。向他倾诉你的担心和问题，祈求他给你智慧和指引；祈求神供应你的需要。告诉神你多爱他，你多么感激他。那就是祷告。
（ｂ）读经。除了在教会，主日学，查经班学习圣经外——你还需要自己读经。圣经包含了所有你需要的信息：如何过成圣的基督徒生活。它包含如何在神的指引下做明智的决定，如何了解神的旨意，如何事奉，以及如何使属灵生命成长。圣经是神对我们的启示；圣经是神给我们的生活准则：讨神喜悦的同时也让我们得到满足。
４．与可以帮助你属灵生命的人交往。
哥林多前书１５：３３告诉我们：“你们不要自欺；滥交是败坏善行。”圣经里有很多“坏”人影响的警句，跟有恶行的人在一起会让我们受到恶行的诱惑。近朱者赤，近墨者黑。与信主爱主的人交往很重要。
或许可以试试从你的教会找一两个能帮助鼓励你的朋友（希伯来书３：１３）请你的朋友时时提醒你的灵修，检点你的行为以及在主内的成长；问你的朋友你能不能也为他们做同样的事。这并不意味着你得放弃所有不信主的朋友，你可以继续作他们的朋友并爱他们。简单地让他们知道耶稣改变了你的生活，你不能像过去那样了；求神赐给你与朋友分享耶稣的机会。
５．受洗。
很多人对受洗有误解。“受洗”的词义是浸到水里。圣经意义上的受洗指在公众面前宣告你信仰耶稣并要跟从他。浸到水中的行为表示旧你跟耶稣一同埋葬；从水中出来象征耶稣的复活。受洗意味着你同耶稣一样经历了死亡，埋葬和复活。
受洗不是救赎。受洗不会洗掉你的罪。受洗是顺服的简单一步，是向公众宣告你接受了耶稣的救恩。受洗的重要性在于它是顺服的一个步骤——公开表示信仰基督和你的承诺。如果你准备好了要受洗，你应该跟牧师讲。
3.1a. 得到永…
“因为世人都犯了罪，亏缺了神的荣耀”(罗马书3：23)。
圣经清晰展示了通向永生的路径。首先，我们必须承认对神有罪：我们做了神不喜悦的事，让我们配得惩罚。我们的罪背叛了一位永恒的神，所以只有一个永久性的惩罚才算公平。“因为罪的工价乃是死；惟有神的恩赐，在我们的主耶稣基督里，乃是永生”（罗马书6：23）
然而，耶稣基督，无罪的（彼得前书2：22），神的独生子来到我们中间（约翰福音1：1）为偿还我们欠的债而死。“唯有基督在我们还作罪人的时候为我们死，神的爱就在此向我们显明了”( 罗马书5：8),耶稣基督死在十字架上（约翰福音19：31-42），代我们受罚（哥林多后书5:21）三天之后从死里复活（哥林多前书15：1-4），证明他战胜了罪和死亡。“他曾照自己的大怜悯，借耶稣基督从死里复活，重生了我们，叫我们有活泼的盼望”（彼得前书1：3）
我们必须认罪悔改，为重生信靠基督（使徒行传3：19）,如果我们信靠他，相信他为偿还我们的罪而死于十架，我们就会被赦免并得永生。“神爱世人，甚至将他的独生子赐给他们，叫一切信他的，不至灭亡，反得永生”(约翰福音3：16)“你若口里认耶稣为主， 心里信神叫他从死里复活，就必得救”（罗马书10：9）,只有信基督死于十架的成就才是通向永生的唯一路径！“你们得救是本乎恩，也因着信。这并不是出于自己，乃是神所赐的；也不是出于行为，免得有人自夸”（以弗所书2:8-9）
如果你想接受耶稣为救主，这是一个简短的祷告。记住，单是说出这个或其他的祷告不会拯救你。只有相信耶稣才能挽救你脱离罪。这个祷告是向神表示你信他并感谢他给予救恩。“神啊，我知道我有罪配得惩罚，但耶稣基督代我受罚，只有信他我才能被赦免。我要重生，摒弃我的罪并信靠你。感谢你的大恩和赦免——永生的恩赐！阿门！”

2.3b. Chr…
Is it right for a Christian to date or marry a non-Christian?
For a Christian, dating a non-Christian is unwise, and marrying one is not an option. Second Corinthians 6:14 (KJV) tells us not to be “unequally yoked” with an unbeliever. The imagery is of two incompatible oxen sharing the same yoke. Instead of working together to pull the load, they would be working against each other. While this passage does not specifically mention marriage, it definitely has implications for marriage. The passage goes on to say that there is no harmony between Christ and Belial (Satan). There can be no spiritual harmony in a marriage between a Christian and a non-Christian. Paul goes on to remind believers that they are the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit, who inhabits their hearts at salvation (2 Corinthians 6:15-17). Because of that, they are to be separate from the world—in the world, but not of the world—and nowhere is that more important than in life’s most intimate relationship—marriage.
The Bible also says, “Do not be misled: ‘Bad company corrupts good character’” (1 Corinthians 15:33). Having any kind of intimate relationship with an unbeliever can quickly turn into something that is a hindrance to your walk with Christ. We are called to evangelize the lost, not be intimate with them. There is nothing wrong with building quality friendships with unbelievers, but that is as far as it should go. If you were dating an unbeliever, what would honestly be your priority, romance or winning a soul for Christ? If you were married to an unbeliever, how would the two of you cultivate a spiritual intimacy in your marriage? How could a quality marriage be built and maintained if you disagree on the most crucial issue in the universe—the Lord Jesus Christ?
