道路的第一步

介绍

你有没有对《圣经》讲的是什么感到疑惑?你知道《圣经》的基本信息吗?

《圣经》实际上是66部不同作品的合集。这些作品是由40位作者跨越1500年的时间所写成的。因此,《圣经》就如同一所图书馆!

《圣经》宣称这些作品的真正作者是上帝自己。上帝用普通的人和普通的人类语言与人类交流!

问题是:当人们在这座图书馆里开始阅读时当从那里开始才能得到所有信息的基本思想?是不是一个人必须从头至尾一字不漏地全都通读一遍?不,这儿有一种快速的办法就可以得到基本思想。

从《圣经》摘取的章节可以快速向你提供《圣经》的基本信息,从最基本的信息开始拓展你的理解。

如果你读完这本从《圣经》摘选出来的小书,你就开始了一次旅程。你将开始明白上帝的《圣经》和他带给你的好消息的第一步。

愿上帝祝福你的阅读旅程!

Introduction

Which WAY shall I believe?

What WAY shall I live?

Where will my present PATH lead?

A wise man once wrote:  “There is a WAY which seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.” (Proverbs 14:12)

Jesus Christ said, “Wide is the gate and broad is that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.  But small is the gate and narrow the ROAD that leads to life, and only a few find it.” He urges us to (Matthew 7:13-14)

Indeed, Jesus announced, “I am the WAY and the Truth and the Life.  No one comes to the Father except through Me.” (John 14:6)

Christians believe that Jesus and His teachings are the Way to the Father and life.  The early Christians called their belief and way of life “the WAY.” (Acts 9:2).

This website is called “First Steps on the Way.”  It is about this WAY – the WAY Christians believe and the WAY Christians live.

You see, the Christian life is like a journey.  It begins somewhere and it ends somewhere.  As a Chinese proverb says, “The longest journey begins with a single step.”  Likewise, in this Christian journey there are some first steps that must be taken.

This website is about those “first steps.”

God’s own message to mankind, the Bible, will be our road map on this journey.

Let’s get started now!!  The pages on this website will take you systematically along the right WAY.

May God bless your journey!
