一、经文背景
• 保罗在加拉太书第3章,针对错误教导——“必须遵行律法才能得救”进行反驳。
• 他先引用加拉太信徒的亲身经历:他们领受圣灵、经历神迹,是靠信心,不是靠律法。
• 随后引用创世记 15:6,以亚伯拉罕为例,证明神从起初就用因信称义的原则。
⸻
二、经文
【加3:5】 那赐给你们圣灵,又在你们中间行异能的,是因你们行律法呢?是因你们听信福音呢?
【加3:6】 正如“亚伯拉罕信神,这就算为他的义”。
⸻
三、逐节解析
1️⃣ 【加3:5】
• 赐圣灵的主:指神在他们信主时,将圣灵浇灌下来(徒2:38;徒10:44–45)。
• 行异能:包括医治、神迹奇事等圣灵的工作。
• 反问的目的:让信徒回想,这些恩典是因遵行律法,还是因听见并相信福音而得的?
• 核心真理:圣灵的赐下与能力的彰显,根源是信心回应福音,而非行为成就。
⸻
2️⃣ 【加3:6】
• 旧约见证:引用创世记 15:6,证明称义的原则是因信,不因行为。
• 亚伯拉罕的信心:在律法与割礼之前,他就因信神的应许被算为义。
• 对信徒的应用:既然信心之父亚伯拉罕如此得称义,今日信徒当然也是如此。

四、神学亮光
1. 圣灵的赐下是信心的果效,不是律法的奖赏。
2. 因信称义的原则从旧约到新约不变——神的方法始终如一。
3. 亚伯拉罕是信心的榜样,也是外邦信徒得福的根源(加3:7–9)。
📖 Title: The Source of the Spirit and Justification — By Faith, Not by the Law (Galatians 3:5–6)
🗓 Date: August 13, 2025
⸻
- Background
• In Galatians chapter 3, Paul refutes the false teaching that “one must keep the law to be saved.”
• He first points to the Galatian believers’ personal experience: they received the Holy Spirit and witnessed miracles through faith, not by keeping the law.
• He then quotes Genesis 15:6, using Abraham as an example to show that God’s principle of justification from the very beginning has been by faith.
⸻
- Scripture
[Gal 3:5] Does He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you do so by works of the law, or by hearing with faith?
[Gal 3:6] Just as “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.”
⸻
- Verse-by-Verse Explanation
1️⃣ [Gal 3:5]
• The One who gives the Spirit: Refers to God, who poured out the Holy Spirit when they believed (Acts 2:38; Acts 10:44–45).
• Works miracles: Includes healings, signs, and wonders done through the Spirit’s power.
• Purpose of the rhetorical question: To remind them — were these blessings the result of keeping the law, or of hearing and believing the gospel?
• Core truth: The giving of the Spirit and the manifestation of His power come from faith’s response to the gospel, not from human effort.
⸻
2️⃣ [Gal 3:6]
• Old Testament reference: From Genesis 15:6, proving that justification is by faith, not by works.
• Abraham’s faith: Before the law and before circumcision, he was counted righteous because he trusted God’s promise.
• Application to believers: If the “father of faith” was justified in this way, believers today are justified in the same way.
⸻
- Theological Insights
- The Holy Spirit is given as a result of faith, not as a reward for law-keeping.
- The principle of justification by faith is consistent from the Old Testament to the New Testament — God’s method never changes.
- Abraham is the model of faith and the source of blessing for Gentile believers (Gal 3:7–9).
