The Bible Says
罗马书 9:17-18 含义

神选择怜悯谁就怜悯谁,选择向谁施恩就向谁施恩,而且祂选择反对谁就反对谁。在法老的例子中,法老已经反对神了,并且拒绝神向他交流的所有方式,无论是摩西和亚伦直接告诉法老神的命令,或者是神派下的导致法老国度混乱的许多瘟疫。神知道法老每一次都会违抗祂,这就是为什么神一开始会允许他成为法老的原因。祂使用一个有能力、悖逆的统治者来彰显祂,神,是非常有能力的,全地都当看到这一点。神告诉摩西对法老说,"我将你兴起来,特要在你身上彰显我的权能,并要使我的名传遍天下。"

法老在出埃及记 5 章总结了他自己的悖逆态度,问摩西说,"耶和华是谁,使我听他的话,容以色列人去呢?我不认识耶和华,也不容以色列人去!" 接下来就是埃及的十灾,最终导致法老的儿子死亡。即使在那时,法老仍然追赶以色列人,要把他们重新召回作他的奴隶。神使这恶王刚硬,藉着诫命、瘟疫和破坏加重他的重担;而且法老急切地回答,耶和华是谁,使我听他的话?法老所留下的正如经文所言:神彰显了祂的权能,神拯救了祂的百姓,并且天下都知道这恶王的败落,以色列脱离了他,获得自由,是因神的大能和神的旨意。

令人鼓舞的是,罗马书非常清楚地说明了神对那些相信祂之人的目的。任何藉着信接受神白白所赐恩典的人都要被接纳进入神的家,成为祂的儿女。神要怜悯谁就怜悯谁,要叫谁刚硬就叫谁刚硬。但当提到藉着耶稣的宝血在祂面前称义的时候,显然神将这恩典白白地赐给了全人类。正如这段经文所示,我们信靠谁的选择会产生巨大的结果。

法老依靠自己,在神使他的心更刚硬之前,他自己的心已经刚硬了。当保罗在罗马书讨论神的忿怒时,他明确指出,当人们坚持自己的内心时,神最终会 "任凭他们" 直到他们有邪僻的心。任何选择自己方式的人都会经历负面的后果。
