圣经中的实例—新约
在圣经里,一个基本的原则,神救人是以一家一家为单位。这有什么凭据呢?我们要一段一段的来读圣经。
撒该一家
路加十九章九节:“耶稣说,今天救恩到了这家。”这是希奇的事,新约也宣告同样的原则。恐怕许多人传道已经传了二十多年,都是传救恩是临到个人的。但是主在这里传道说,救恩临到这一家。
你们出去传福音,要注意一家一家的得救,不要仅仅盼望一个一个的得救。你们如果真是相信,真是盼望,这一个工作要有大的改变。这完全是看你的信心和盼望如何。你如果盼望一个一个的来,就是一个一个的来。你如果相信一家一家的来,就是一家一家的来。神的救恩是以家为范围的,你不要把这一个范围缩小了。
哥尼流全家
行传十章二节:“他是个虔诚人,他和全家都敬畏神,多多周济百姓,常常祷告神。”十一章十四节:“他有话告诉你,可以叫你和你的全家得救。”
哥尼流是一家得救,不是一个人得救。哥尼流请他亲属密友来,要听彼得所说的话;彼得对他们讲了,哥尼流家里所有的人都得着了,圣灵降在他们所有的人身上。
吕底亚一家
行传十六章十五节:“她和她一家既受了浸。”(另译)使徒对吕底亚的一家传福音,他们全家都相信,全家都受了浸。

Whole Household Saved (4) — Luke 19:9-10
New Testament Examples
In the Bible, there is a fundamental principle: God saves man by households. What proof do we have? Let’s read Scripture passage by passage.
Zacchaeus’ Household
Luke 19:9 – “Jesus said to him, ‘Today salvation has come to this house.’” This is a remarkable statement. The New Testament proclaims the same principle. Many preachers have been preaching for over twenty years, always emphasizing that salvation comes to individuals. Yet, here the Lord preached that salvation comes to an entire household.
When you go out to evangelize, pay attention to the salvation of whole households rather than only hoping for individuals to be saved one by one. If you truly believe and truly hope for this, the way you work will be greatly transformed. It all depends on your faith and expectation. If you expect men to be saved one by one, they will be saved one by one. But if you believe in the salvation of entire households, then entire households will be saved. God’s salvation is meant for households – please do not limit its scope.
Cornelius’ Household
Acts 10:2 – “He was a devout man and one who feared God with all his household, and gave many alms to the Jewish people and prayed to God continually.” Acts 11:14 – “He will speak words to you by which you will be saved, you and all your household.” Cornelius was saved as a household, not as an individual. He invited his relatives and close friends to hear Peter’s message. As Peter spoke, everyone in Cornelius’ house received the Word, and the Holy Spirit came upon all of them.
Lydia’s Household
Acts 16:15 – “When she and her household had been baptized…” The apostles preached the gospel to Lydia’s household, and her entire family believed and was baptized.
