1
A lot of people, John, have misunderstandings as to what does it actually mean to be a Christian.
2
How would you explain that?
3
What is a Christian?
4
Well, a Christian is a person who enjoys now a real relationship with God through Christ,
5
through trusting him that he or she has not merited.
6
And this is one of the huge confusions of our day.
7
They think of Christianity as a religion.
8
And if you ask them, what is a religion?
9
They'll say, religion is a path.
10
You try and follow it.
11
And you hope that when you get to the judgment, you'll have done enough for God to accept you.
12
That's religion.
13
Well, if it is religion, that's not Christianity.
14
Christianity turns that on its head.
15
It's utterly revolutionary because it tells me that I can't make it that way.
16
I can't earn God's forgiveness.
17
But God has done something in Christ on the cross, the resurrection, that he can offer me forgiveness as a free gift.
18
On the basis of my trusting him and giving my life to him, I cannot merit it.
19
And you know, I often explain it.
20
I way, I say, you know, we ought to understand this.
21
We live in a merit-based society.
22
Universities, you get a degree, but you're not guaranteed one, because it depends on your merit.
23
Everywhere merit, promotion merit, all this kind of thing.
24
So we think that we can merit God and a relationship with him, but just a minute.
25
What about marriage?
26
And I sometimes say jokingly, I say, you know, I met a young lady when I went to Cambridge and I thought she'd make a good wife,
27
so I brought her a cookbook and I said to her, you know, you see this cookbook, there are various laws on how you make apple cake.
28
I like apple cake.
29
So if you keep these rules pretty well, pretty nearly 100% for the next 40 years I'll accept you.
30
Otherwise you can go back to your mother.
31
And you know audiences roar at this. Of course.
32
They absolutely roar.
33
And I say why are you laughing?
34
Isn't that exactly your attitude towards God?
35
You wouldn't insult a fellow human being by telling them
36
that your acceptance of them depends on their performance but that's exactly what you're basing your relationship with God on.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
