It is a phrase you might hear in church and let slide right past — a gentle, churchy greeting. But when Jesus said "peace be with you," he was doing something far weightier than saying hello.The words peace be with you carry the whole weight of the Hebrew blessing shalom,...

"因为在肉身受苦的，就已经与罪断绝了。"（彼前 4:1下）for whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin. (1 Peter 4:1 b)关于得救意味着罪已经死了，罪已经被切断了，我不再在罪的辖制之下了，有了新的认识，其实就是罪已经不在我身上作王了，罪不能再辖制我了，并且我在基督里已经不被定罪，因为基督已经释放了我，使我不再作罪的奴隶，罪在我身上没有任何权势。虽然可能还会有罪的诱惑与试探，但其实这些在我身上已经没有权势了。已经得救的人是从罪中被拯救出来，已经脱离罪了。这是伟大的真理，让人得着真正自由和释放的真理。Regarding salvation and deliverance from sin: I have come to a new understanding that salvation means sin has already died and been cut off. I am no longer under the dominion of sin. In reality,...
