奇妙的神恩-第16章
“如今却蒙上帝的恩典,因基督耶稣的救赎,就白白地称义”(罗3:24)。{AG 23.1}[1]
奇妙的神恩-第16章
Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.Romans 3:24.{AG 23.1}[1]
奇妙的神恩-第16章
基督在祂的许多比喻中用“天国”二字来叙述上帝的恩典在人心中所施行的工作。……在人类堕落,并在上帝拟定一个救赎有罪之人类的计划以后,这恩惠的国就立时建立起来了。那时,它存在于上帝的旨意之中,并因上帝的应许而成立。人也能因着信而成为这个国度的子民。{GC 347}{AG 23.2}[2]
奇妙的神恩-第16章
In many of His parables, Christ uses the expression, “the kingdom of heaven,” to designate the work of divine grace upon the hearts of men.... The kingdom of grace was instituted immediately after the fall of man, when a plan was devised for the redemption of the guilty race. It then existed in the purpose and by the promise of God; and through faith, men could become its subjects.22{AG 23.2}[2]
奇妙的神恩-第16章
施用强权是与上帝政体的原则相反的。祂只要出于爱心的侍奉。……人认识上帝了就会爱祂。所以祂的品德必须表现出来与撒但的品格对比。这表现上帝品德的工作,在宇宙之间只有一位能做。只有那能体会到上帝的爱是何等长阔高深的一位,才能将祂表明出来。……{AG 23.3}[3]
奇妙的神恩-第16章
The exercise of force is contrary to the principles of God’s government; He desires only the service of love.... To know God is to love Him; His character must be manifested in contrast to the character of Satan. This work only one Being in all the universe could do. Only He who knew the height and depth of the love of God could make it known....{AG 23.3}[3]
奇妙的神恩-第16章
救赎人类的计划并不是一种事后的措施,不是在亚当堕落之后才拟订的。它乃是“永古隐藏不言的奥秘”的启示(罗16:25)。它又是那曾在万古之先作为上帝宝座根基的原则的展开。……上帝并没有命定罪恶必须存在,但祂预见它的存在而作了准备,以应付这可怕的变故。祂对世人的爱是如此的伟大,甚至立约将祂的独生子赐给他们,“叫一切信祂的,不至灭亡,反得永生”(约3:16)。{DA 22}{AG 23.4}[4]
奇妙的神恩-第16章
The plan for our redemption was not an afterthought, a plan formulated after the fall of Adam. It was a revelation of “the mystery which hath been kept in silence through times eternal” (Romans 16:25, R.V.). It was an unfolding of the principles that from eternal ages have been the foundation of God’s throne.... God did not ordain that sin should exist, but He foresaw its existence, and made provision to meet the terrible emergency. So great was His love for the world, that He covenanted to give His only-begotten Son, “that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”23{AG 23.4}[4]
奇妙的神恩-第16章
有了罪,就有了救主。基督明知自己必须受苦,还是成为人类的替身。亚当一犯罪,上帝的儿子就作了人类的保障,以祂在髑髅地十字架上受死的能力,改变宣布在罪人身上的厄运。{1BC1084}{AG 23.5}[5]
奇妙的神恩-第16章
As soon as there was sin, there was a Saviour. Christ knew that He would have to suffer, yet He became man’s substitute. As soon as Adam sinned, the Son of God presented Himself as surety for the human race, with just as much power to avert the doom pronounced upon the guilty as when He died upon the cross of Calvary.24{AG 23.5}[5]
奇妙的神恩-第16章
这是何等的慈爱!何等奇异的屈尊!荣耀的王自愿降卑到堕落人类的地步!祂愿意走上亚当之路。祂愿意取了人类堕落的性质,与那曾战胜亚当的顽敌作战。祂要战胜撒但,打开门路,把相信祂的人从亚当的失败和堕落的屈辱中救赎出来。{1BC1085}{AG 23.6}[6]
奇妙的神恩-第16章
What love! What amazing condescension! The King of glory proposes to humble Himself to fallen humanity! He would place His feet in Adam’s steps. He would take man’s fallen nature, and engage to cope with the strong foe who triumphed over Adam. He would overcome Satan, and in thus doing He would open the way for the redemption from the disgrace of Adam’s failure and fall, of all those who would believe on Him.25{AG 23.6}[6]
