1 耶和华如此说 : 你们当站在路上察看, 访问古道, 哪是善道, 便在其间, 这样你们必得安息. ( 耶利书 6:16 上 ) Thus says the Lord: Stand by the roads and look, and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is; and walk it it, and find rest for your souls (Jeremiah 6:16a)

2 前在中国等亚洲国家, 很多 ( 包括受过良好教育的 ) 误认为基督教起源于美国, 这是种严重的误解这本小册会告诉你, 其实, 若称基督教为宗教是恰当的话, 那么它其实就是世界上最古的宗教呀! Introduction In China and other Asian countries, many people (including well-educated people) mistakenly believe that Christianity has its ori-gins in America. This is a serious misunderstanding. This little book will show you that, in fact, it is the oldest religion on the earth, if it be proper to call it a religion at all! 基督教本质起源于四千年前, 在现今的伊拉克 ( 中东地区 ), 佛陀出世早了 1500 年, 也早在孔柏拉图亚多德等名的古之前 The essence of Christianity had its origins four thousand years ago in modern day Iraq (in the Middle East) 1,500 years before Buddha was born, and well before Confucius, Plato, Aristotle and other famous ancients lived. 当时上帝赐给了亚伯拉罕个承诺 ( 扩展祂早已给了最先对男的承诺 ): 上帝将差派位特别的来到这世界拯救我们脱离切的罪, 这会是万族的祝福那时起 ( 公元前 2000 年 ), 对这位创造宇宙之上帝的信念以及古道的故事蔓延到以列, 然后在耶稣基督的后, 它开始蔓延到整个中东和欧洲从世纪的福爆炸性发展以后, 它就传到了全世界 At that time God made a promise to a man named Abraham (which enlarged on a promise that HE had made to the first man and woman), that He would send a SPECIAL MAN into the world to save us all from our sins. That MAN would be a blessing to all nations. Since that time (2,000 B.C.) this faith in the God who created the Universe and the story of the Ancient Path spread to Israel, and then starting immediately after the days of Jesus Christ, it spread to all the Middle East and Europe; and since the explosive growth of the first century, to the entire world.

3 从那时起直到现在, 数以百万计的已信奉那古道现在全世界已有超过亿都已信奉这个真实的故事, 遍布在各个国族及部落接下来分钟的阅读可能会改变你的! 因此, 我们劝勉你, 请仔细读这本册, 也恳求上帝帮你在这充满混乱和谎的世界中看真理 From that time until now, untold millions and millions have followed that Ancient Path. This true story is now followed by over one billion people from all over the world, every tribe and every nation. What you are about to read in the next few minutes could change your life! So we urge you to please read this carefully and ask God to help you see the Truth in this world full of confusion and lies.

起初起初, 上帝创造了宇宙, 将第对男和 ( 亚当和夏娃 ) 安置在个美丽的花园, 而他们只有个命令要遵守 : 不要吃园中那棵分别善恶树上的果 In The Beginning In the beginning of time, God created the universe, and the first man and woman (Adam and Eve), and put

4 起初起初, 上帝创造了宇宙, 将第对男和 ( 亚当和夏娃 ) 安置在个美丽的花园, 而他们只有个命令要遵守 : 不要吃园中那棵分别善恶树上的果 In The Beginning In the beginning of time, God created the universe, and the first man and woman (Adam and Eve), and put them in a beautiful garden with only one command to obey: Don't eat the fruit from one tree. 但是, 我们的第个祖先选择了违背上帝, 为这世界带来了痛苦和死亡然而, 上帝答应他们, 有天祂会派救赎主来恢复与上帝的关系如果们相信上帝的承诺, 就可以得救. But our first ancestors chose to disobey God and brought misery and death into the world. However, God promised them that someday He would send a Redeemer who would restore man's relationship with God. If they would believe God's promise, they could be saved. 亚当和夏娃被赶出伊甸园 ( 创世记 3:22 24) Adam and Eve are driven from the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:22 24)

然而, 根据圣经, 亚当和夏娃的后代不肯改变而继续违逆上帝, 所以上帝告诉个 ( 挪亚 ), 要建造艘庞的船, 并把每种动物两两带进船上, 因为除了在这的命以外, 切将被上帝淹没在当时所有当中, 只有 ( 挪亚的家 ) 得救 ( 创世记 7:13) However, according to the Bible, the descendants of Adam and

5 然而, 根据圣经, 亚当和夏娃的后代不肯改变而继续违逆上帝, 所以上帝告诉个 ( 挪亚 ), 要建造艘庞的船, 并把每种动物两两带进船上, 因为除了在这的命以外, 切将被上帝淹没在当时所有当中, 只有 ( 挪亚的家 ) 得救 ( 创世记 7:13) However, according to the Bible, the descendants of Adam and Eve refused to change and continued to rebel against God, so God told one man (Noah) to build a huge boat and put two of every animal on it, because God would flood all life except that which was on the Ark, which was just eight persons in one family (Noah's) from among all the people (Genesis 7:13). 挪亚 ( 创世记 6:6 14) Noah s Ark (Genesis 6-8) 中字船由三个字符组成 : 和口因为这些字符的起源可能反映了对记录在多数化中洪历史和传说的认知, 这个惊的事实就引起了些学者将中字追溯到公元前 3000 年 = 船 The word for boat ( 船 ) in Chinese consists of three traditional characters: vessel ( ), eight ( ), and people ( 口 ). This amazing fact has caused some scholars to date the Chinese characters as early as 3000 B.C. because the origins of these characters may reflect knowledge of worldwide Flood recorded in most cultures' histories and legends.

在挪亚和他的家及所有的动物离开并开始了新的世界之后 (创世记 8:18 19) 上帝吩咐挪亚和他的后代要养众多遍满了地(创世记 9:1) 不过挪亚的后代太骄傲并拒绝服从定居在古代伊拉克巴伦附近建的城市为要传扬的名 After Noah and his family and all the animals left the Ark and started a new

6 在挪亚和他的家及所有的动物离开并开始了新的世界之后 (创世记 8:18 19) 上帝吩咐挪亚和他的后代要养众多遍满了地(创世记 9:1) 不过挪亚的后代太骄傲并拒绝服从定居在古代伊拉克巴伦附近建的城市为要传扬的名 After Noah and his family and all the animals left the Ark and started a new world (Genesis 8:18 19), God commanded Noah and his descendants to populate all the earth (Genesis 9:1). But Noah's descendants were prideful and refused to obey, and settled near Babylon in ancient Iraq to build their own city and make a name for themselves. 别塔巴别塔 (创世记 11:1 9) The Tower of Babel Genesis 11:1-9)

7 当时所有的都讲同语, 所以上帝变乱他们的口, 使他们不能相互沟通 ( 创世记 11:1-7) 活及作都变得法正常运作, 所以那些说同种语的就聚集起, 离开那地而分散到全地, 形成当今世上各种不同的种族尽管如此, 他们的式存, 而没有兴趣认识上帝 At that time all people spoke the same language so God came down and confused their language so they could not understand each other (Genesis 11:1 7). Normal life and work became impossible, so those who spoke the same language gathered together and moved away all over the earth, creating all the different ethnicities in the world today. Still, they went their own way, and weren't interested in knowing God. 开始创的宗教虽然我们最初的祖先亲认识上帝, 但随着时间过去, 们遗失了对上帝的认识, 开始建的宗教 Men Begin to Create Their Own Religions Although our first ancestors knew God personally, over time that knowledge was lost, and men began to create their own religions. 有说, 像动物 ; 也有说, 是众神的后裔还有说, 宇宙本来就直存在, 然地形成了伦理活的规则, 却避而不提上帝们开始膜拜树木河流的祖先亮甚是太阳有说众皆是神! 关于那远古的承诺与回到上帝道路的认识都已遗失 Some said humans were like animals; others said men were descended from gods. Others said the universe had always existed and simply proposed rules of ethical living, and avoided the subject of God. Men began to worship trees, rivers, their ancestors, the moon, and the sun. Some said all men were God! The knowledge of the ancient promise and path back to God was lost.

At the age of 75, Abraham followed God's instructions and traveled to what is now known as Israel in the Middle East.

9 古伊拉克 : 亚伯拉罕时代, 公元前 2100 年的时候 ( 创世记第 11 章和第 12 章 ) Ancient Iraq in the time of Abraham, 2100 B.C. (Genesis 11 12) 亚伯拉罕 75 岁的时候, 跟随上帝的指来到现在称为以列的中东地区. 上帝给了亚伯拉罕三个承诺, 最的承诺是 : 为你祝福的, 我必赐福与他 ; 那咒诅你的, 我必咒诅他 ; 地上的万族都要因你得福 ( 创世记 12:3). At the age of 75, Abraham followed God's instructions and traveled to what is now known as Israel in the Middle East. God gave Abraham three great promises: the greatest promise was: I will bless those who bless you, And the one who curses you I will curse. And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed. (Genesis 12:3) 亚伯拉罕离开他亲的家和他的家乡去跟随上帝 ( 创世记 12:1 4) Abraham leaves his father's house and his country to follow God (Genesis 12:1 4)

10 亚伯拉罕成为犹太 ( 以列 ) 和阿拉伯之然而, 赐给地上万族的福是要借着他的后裔, 就是最早应许给我们祖先的那位 Abraham became the father of the Jews (the Israelites) and the Arabs. But the blessing to all the nations of the earth would be through his descendant, the One originally promised to our first ancestors. 上帝向亚伯拉罕的以撒, 和他的孙雅各重申祂的承诺上帝给了雅各个, 他们的家族 ( 称为以列 ) 之后去到埃及, 最终被邪恶的国王奴役这些邪恶的国王 ( 法 ) 虐待以列, 使他们的苦越来越艰难, 希望他们都死掉 ( 出埃及记第章 ) 最后, 约在公元前 1446 年, 上帝派名叫摩西的伟来拯救他们脱离埃及奴役的活. God repeated His promise to Abraham's son, Isaac, and his grandson, Jacob. God gave Jacob twelve sons whose families (called Israelites) were eventually enslaved in Egypt by wicked kings. These wicked kings (Pharaohs) abused the Israelites and made their work harder and harder, hoping they would die (Exodus 1). Finally, around 1446 B.C, God sent them a great man named Moses to deliver them from slavery in Egypt. 摩西拯救者. 摩西 80 岁的时候, 上帝要求摩西对抗法王 : 放我的百姓走 ( 出埃及记第三章 ) 虽然法拒绝, 但上帝降下众灾在他的国家, 直到法最终同意 ( 出埃及记第四章 ) Moses the Deliver Moses was 80 years old when God called him to confront the Pharaoh with God's demand: Let My people go (Exodus 3). Though Pharaoh refused, God sent plagues upon his nation, and he finally agreed (Exodus 4 10). 在上帝降下最后灾时, 上帝要摩西告诉祂的百姓 ( 以列 ) 献祭杀头瑕疵的公羔, 在每家的楣上和左右框涂抹上羔的这会在上帝差派灭命者来惩罚埃及时保护他们

Before God sent the final plague, God told Moses to tell His people (the Israelites) to kill a perfect young male lamb as a sacrifice and to brush its blood on the top and sides of the door of each

11 Before God sent the final plague, God told Moses to tell His people (the Israelites) to kill a perfect young male lamb as a sacrifice and to brush its blood on the top and sides of the door of each house. This blood would protect them from the destroyer that God was about to send to punish Egypt. 以列把被杀羔的涂在房的楣及框, 来避开灭命者 ( 出埃及记 12:21 23). Israelite puts blood of slain lamb on door of house to protect the house from the destroyer (Exodus 12:21 23) 犹太顺服上帝, 并把羔的涂在上当灭命者来了上帝看到了, 便饶过那上有涂抹记号的家庭 The Jews obeyed God, and put the blood of the lambs on their doors. When the destroyer came, God saw the blood and spared the households whose doors were marked by the blood of the lamb. 法王终于允许犹太离开埃及近 200 万跟随摩西出埃及但法改变主意, 派他的军队追杀上帝的百姓然而, 上帝施神迹将红海分开让祂的百姓通过, 再让墙崩塌整个埃及追兵就被摧毁了 ( 出埃及记第 14 章 ) Pharaoh finally allowed the Jews to leave Egypt. Nearly two million followed Moses out of Egypt. Then Pharaoh changed his mind and sent his armies to chase God's people. But God did a great miracle and caused the Red Sea to open

up for His people to pass through, and caused the walls of water to collapse upon the pursing Egyptians. The Egyptian army was destroyed (Exodus 14).

12 up for His people to pass through, and caused the walls of water to collapse upon the pursing Egyptians. The Egyptian army was destroyed (Exodus 14). 上帝的律法摩西在西乃接受诫 ( 出埃及记 20:1 21) Moses receives the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai (Exodus 20:1 21) 上帝带领以列到个名叫西乃的地, 在那上帝给了他们诫, 作为以列同意是上帝的标志虽然上帝将他们安全地带应许之地, 但以列仍旧忘恩负义, 忘记上帝和祂的古道, 而走的道路 God s Law God led the Israelites to a place called Mount Sinai where God gave them the Ten Commandments that they were to keep as a sign of their agreeing to be His people. Even though God placed them safely in the land He had promised, the

13 Israelites became ungrateful, forgot God and His Ancient Path, and went their own way. 替代他们的罪并付出代价对于以列的不顺服, 上帝并没有杀死他们, 而是命令他们筑坛献上只瑕疵的完全健康的年幼的公羔违背上帝的把他的放在羔的头上, 象征背逆不顺服的罪转移到羔的上 A Substitute to Pay for Their Sins Instead of destroying the Israelites for disobeying Him, God commanded that a spotless, young male lamb, in perfect health be brought before His place of worship. The man who had disobeyed God was to place his hands on the head of the lamb, symbolizing the transfer of the man's rebellion and disobedience to the lamb. 象征的罪转移到牺牲的羔 ( 利未记 1:4). Symbolic transfer of man's sins to sacrificial lamb (Leviticus 1:4). 然后羔被宰杀这切都发在公元前 1400 年之前, 尽管如此, 们继续视古道, 走的道路 The lamb was then killed. This all happened before 1400 B.C. Still, the people continued to ignore the Ancient Path, and went their own way.

14 约公元前 1000 年 ( 在周朝的时候 ), 上帝兴起亚伯拉罕的后裔卫, 成为了伟的以列国王上帝阐明了祂应许给亚当和夏娃, 以及之后给亚伯拉罕的那位, 将是卫的孙, 并要在卫的宝座上永远统治作王 ( 诗篇 2:7; 太福 1:1) Around 1000 B.C. (the time of the Zhōu Dynasty), God raised up David, a descendant of Abraham, to be a great king in Israel. And God clarified that the One promised to Adam and Eve, and later to Abraham, would descend from David and would rule on David's throne eternally (Psalm 2:7; Matthew 1:1). 随着时间的推移, 上帝派其他的先知说出有关祂所应许的那位伟的卫的孙的更多细节约在公元前 800 年, 先知弥迦预这个孙将出在个名叫伯利恒的小镇, 祂的根源从亘古就有 ( 弥迦书 5:2) 约在公元前 720 年, 另位先知说, 这未来的统治者将是以列的个处所的孩, 并会被称为永在的 ( 以赛亚书 9:6) Over time, God sent other prophets to give more details about the great son of David who He had promised. Around 800 BC, one prophet foretold that this Son would be born in a small town called Bethlehem, and that His origins are from eternity (Micah 5:2). Around 720 BC, another prophet said that this coming Ruler would be a child born of a virgin in Israel, and yet would be called Everlasting Father (Isaiah 9:6). 个神奇的诞终于, 约在两千年前, 在古以列, 天使出现在拿撒勒小镇的个年轻处前, 并告诉她, 她将会下个孩, 而她必须给祂起名为耶稣, 因为祂要将的百姓从罪恶救出来 ( 太福 1:21) 由于罗政府当时下令口普查, 利亚和她的未婚夫约瑟不得不前往伯利恒 ( 约瑟的家乡 ) 履口登记

15 A Miraculous Birth Finally, around two thousand years ago, in ancient Israel, an angel appeared to a young virgin in a small town called Nazareth, and told her she would bear a child who she should name Jesus because He would save his people from their sins (Matthew 1:21). Because of a government ordered census at the time, Mary and her betrothed husband, Joseph, had to travel to Bethlehem (Joseph's hometown) to be counted. 童利亚于伯利恒下耶稣 ( 路加福 2:1 7) The virgin Mary gives birth to Jesus in Bethlehem (Luke 2:1 7) 就在那, 利亚在个简陋的槽下了耶稣, 实现了千年来所有的承诺 ( 路加福 2:1 8) 那天晚上, 天使出现在天空, 向伯利恒的牧宣布 : 今天在卫的城, 为你们了救主, 就是主基督 ( 路加福 2:11) While there, Mary gave birth to the child Jesus in a lowly cow stable in fulfillment of all the promises made over thousands of years (Luke 2:1 8). That night, angels appeared in the sky to shepherds in Bethlehem to announce that: For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. (Luke 2:11)

天使向牧宣布 : 耶稣已经诞在伯利恒 ( 路加福 2:8 20) Angels announce to shepherds that Jesus has been born in Bethlehem (Luke 2:8 20) 颗明亮的星出现在天空, 引导遥远的东博前来以列敬拜这新的君王 ( 太福 2:1 12) 这孩 ( 耶稣 ) 是犹太卫王 ( 公元前 1000 年 ) 的

16 天使向牧宣布 : 耶稣已经诞在伯利恒 ( 路加福 2:8 20) Angels announce to shepherds that Jesus has been born in Bethlehem (Luke 2:8 20) 颗明亮的星出现在天空, 引导遥远的东博前来以列敬拜这新的君王 ( 太福 2:1 12) 这孩 ( 耶稣 ) 是犹太卫王 ( 公元前 1000 年 ) 的孙, 而卫是亚伯拉罕 ( 于公元前 2166) 的后裔耶稣在拿撒勒, 智慧与俱增, 每个都喜欢祂当祂三岁时, 开始了祂被差遣来到世上的作 A great distance to the East a star appeared in the heavens to guide great philosophers to come to Israel to worship this new King (Matthew 2:1 12). This child (Jesus) was an earthly descendant of the Jewish king David (1000 BC), who was himself a descendant of Abraham (born 2166 BC). Jesus grew up in Nazareth, and became great in wisdom and everyone loved Him. When He was thirty years old, it was time for Him to begin the work for which He had been sent to earth.

17 耶稣称为上帝的, 并说 : 我与原为 ( 约翰福 10:30) 耶稣早与永存的上帝同在, 却道成了 ( 约翰福 1:14) 祂说还 : 没有亚伯拉罕就有了我 ( 约翰福 8:58) 借着就有了我, 耶稣证实祂没有所谓的开始, 从太初万古前就直存在, 远早在亚历帝苏格拉底孔及佛陀出前就已存在祂创造了宇宙, 万有都是靠祂造的 ( 约翰福 1:2 3; 歌罗西书 1:16), 且万有也靠祂而 ( 歌罗西书 1:17; 希伯来书 1:3) Jesus called Himself the Son of God, and said that I and the Father are One (John 10:30). Jesus has existed forever as God, but had taken on the form of a man (John 1:14). He said: Before Abraham was, I am (John 8:58). By I am, Jesus confirmed He had no beginning but had always existed, from eternity, eons before Alexander the Great, Socrates, Confucius or Buddha were born. He created the universe (John 1:2 3; Colossians 1:16) and upholds it even now (Colossians 1:17; Hebrews 1:3). 唯罪的尽管上帝是限圣洁, 痛恨罪恶, 耶稣并降世来惩罚类对祂的不服从, 反而是代替我们而死就像幼小辜的羔! 当耶稣开始教导关于上帝的国度时, 当时个伟的先知看了耶稣, 就说 : 看哪, 上帝的羔, 代替世罪孽的 ( 约翰福 1:29) The Only Sinless Man Despite the fact that God is infinitely holy, and hates sin, Jesus didn't come to earth to punish mankind for its disobedience, but to die in our place just like the little, innocent lamb! When Jesus began to teach about the Kingdom of God, a great prophet at that time saw Jesus and said: Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world (John 1:29). 中繁体字義 ( 简化为义 ) 由两部份组成 : 上半部是, 下半部是我所以, 义 = 羔覆蔽我

18 The Chinese traditional character 义 (simplified as 义 ) for righteousness consists of two parts: The upper one is the character for lamb and the lower one is 我 for I/me. Thus righteousness = the Lamb covers me. 耶稣活出完美的, 尽管祂在各像我们样受到试探, 却从来没有犯过罪 ( 希伯来书 4:15; 彼得前书 2:22; 约翰书 3:5) 最后, 在 33 岁时, 根据上帝创世之前所计划的 ( 使徒传 2:23), 耶稣因亵渎上帝 ( 称与上帝同等 ) 的罪名而被捕和受审 Jesus lived a perfect life and never sinned (Hebrews 4:15; Ⅰ Peter 2:22; Ⅰ John 3:5), even though He was tempted in every way that we are. Finally, at the age of 33, according to the plan which God devised before He made the universe (Acts 2:23), Jesus was arrested and tried for blasphemy [making Himself equal with God]. 耶稣虽然在罗法官的审判中查为罪, 却仍被判死刑 ( 约翰福 18:38;19:4,6) 但这其实是上帝早已命定的结果 ( 使徒传 4:27 28; 启录 13:8) Though tried by a Roman judge, Jesus was found not guilty, but still sentenced to die (John 18:38; John 19:4,6). But this was actually the result that God had ordained (Acts 4:27 28; Revelation 13:8).

19 耶稣被钉在字架上代替我们的罪 ( 太福 27:24 62; 约翰福 19:17 42). Jesus is nailed to the cross as a Substitute for our sins (Matthew 27:24 62; John 19:17 42) 上帝爱世, 甚将祂的独赐给他们, 叫切信祂的不致灭亡, 反得永 ( 约翰福 3:16) For God so loved the word, that he gave his only begotten Son (Jesus), that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life (John 3:16). 耶稣被钉在木头 ( 字架的样 ) 上, 公义的羔就代替我们受死了, 然后被埋葬 Jesus was nailed to a tree (in the form of a cross) the righteous Lamb in our place. And then he was buried.

20 耶稣从死复活 ( 太福第 28 章 ; 哥林多前书 15:3 9) Jesus rose from the dead (Matthew 28; 1 Corinthians 15:3-9) 但是, 三天后耶稣从死复活这个令难以置信的事件被超过 500 看, 证实了耶稣被埋葬后从死复活 ( 哥林多前书 15:6)! 耶稣对他们说话, 也拥抱他们祂同徒起走路并教导他们, 在地上 40 天之久! BUT, three days later, Jesus rose from the dead. This incredible event was confirmed by over 500 people who saw Jesus ALIVE after He had been buried (Ⅰ Corinthians 15:6)! He spoke to them. He embraced them. He walked with them, and taught them, for 40 days! 然后祂回到了天堂, 并承诺会再回来 ( 约翰福 14:2 3; 太福 26:64; 可福 14:62) 直到那时, 那些在今拒绝祂的就死在他们的罪 ( 约翰福 3:36;8:24) 将来, 当祂再来的时候, 那将是要来审判世界 ( 启录 19:11 以及接着的经 )

21 And then He returned to heaven, promising that HE WILL COME AGAIN (John 14:2 3, Matthew 26:64, Mark 14:62). Until then, those who reject Him in this life, die in their sins (John 3:36; John 8:24). In the future, when He comes again, it will be to judge the world (Revelation 19:11ff). 在祂回到天堂之前, 耶稣告诉祂的追随者要到世界各地告诉所有, 让他们也能找到古道 ( 太福 28:19; 使徒传 1:8) 从那时后, 耶稣的真理已经从以列扩展到世界各处 Before He went back to Heaven, He told His followers to go into all the world and tell others, so they too could find the Ancient Path (Matthew 28:19; Acts 1:8). From that time, the truth of Jesus has spread out from Israel to all the world. 古道从耶稣回到天上后, 多数都继续走的路, 并不思想上帝 ( 太福 7:13 14) 有的遵循类创造的古宗教和哲学, 另有些创造了新的宗教多数忽略了通往上帝的古道. The Ancient path Ever since Jesus went back to Heaven, most people have continued to go their own way, and don't think about God (Matthew 7:13 14). Others follow the old religions and philosophies created by man, and others have created new ones. Most ignore the Ancient Path to God. 古道可追溯到上帝在六千多年前给我们第个祖先的承诺, 这承诺重复给了亚伯拉罕 : 万族都要因你得福 ( 创世记 12:3); 以及给了以列 : 永恒的 ( 诗篇 2:7; 太福 1:1) 耶稣是上帝的道, 成为来到地上为赦免我们的罪, 并使与上帝和好 ( 约翰福 14:6) 耶稣活出完美的 ( 在我们所活的世界上!), 之后, 为世的罪而被钉死 ( 约翰福 1:29; 以弗所书 1:7; 启录 1:5) The Ancient Path can be traced back to God's promise to our first ancestors over six thousand years ago, and repeated to Abraham as the blessing to all nations (Genesis 12:3), and to Israel as the eternal Son (Psalm 2 7:; Matthew 1:1).

22 Jesus is God's Way for our sins against Him to be forgiven (John 14:6), and He lived a perfect life (in our place!) and then died for the sins of all the world (John 1:29; Ephesians 1:7; Revelation 1:5). 现在, 这奇妙的真理是属于我们的透过信靠耶稣和祂在字架上的受死替代你和我受刑罚 ), 我们的罪就得赦免, 我们与上帝的关系就得恢复 ( 彼得前书 2:24; 哥林多后书 5:21)! 我们可以有永与上帝起活在个美丽奇妙令兴奋奇遇与和平的地 ( 约翰福 10:28 29)! This wonderful truth is now ours. By putting our trust in Jesus and his death on the cross, FOR US, as our Substitute, we can have our sins forgiven, and our relationship with God restored (Ⅰ Peter 2:24; Ⅱ Corinthians 5:21)! We can live forever with God, in a place of magnificent beauty, wonder, excitement, adventure, and peace (John 10:28 29)! 耶稣说 : 我是好牧, 好牧为舍命 ( 约翰福 10:11; 彼得前书 2:25) Jesus said, I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. (John 10:11; Ⅰ Peter 2:25) 试图借着我价值体系来赚得天堂之路, 就只不过是在寻求建我们的义, 而不顺服上帝的义 ( 罗书 10:1 3) 我们若是撇弃我们的我依赖而单单信赖上帝的 ( 古道 ), 就能罪得赦免, 并永远与上帝同住 ( 启录 21:1 4) Trying to earn our way to heaven by systems of self-merit is nothing but seeking to establish our own righteousness and not submitting to God's righteousness (Romans 10:1 3). If we will just abandon our self-reliance and trust ONLY in God's own Son (the Ancient Path), we can be forgiven and live with God forever (Revelation 21:1 4).

23 耶稣说 : 我就是道路真理命若不借着我, 没有能到那去 ( 约翰福 14:6); 凡劳苦担重担的可以到我这来, 我就使你们得安息 ( 太福 11:28) Jesus said, I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me (John 14:6), and Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest (Matthew 11:28). 你想认识上帝吗? 希望所有的罪被赦免吗 ( 约翰书 5:13)? 请求耶稣饶恕你, 让祂成为你命的主, 把所有的信放在基督, 让祂来拯救你 ( 约翰福 3:16), 祂会走进你的活, 并给你个新的, 让基督的灵在你而改变你 ( 启录 3:20; 以西结书 36:26 27)! Do you want to know God, and know that you are forgiven of all your sins (Ⅰ John 5:13)? Ask Jesus to forgive you, and make Him the Lord of your life, putting all your trust in Him to save you (John 3:16). He will come into your life and give you a new heart and put His Spirit in you and CHANGE you (Revelation 3:20; Ezekiel 36:26 27)! 如果你有兴趣了解更多关于古道, 请联系以圣经为根基的附近的教会, 或给你这本小册的!
