Amazing Grace! January 28
一同在天上-第29章
“愿恩惠平安,从上帝我们的父,和主耶稣基督,归与你们”(弗1:2)。{HP34.1}[1]
一同在天上-第29章
Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.Ephesians 1:2.{HP 34.1}[1]
一同在天上-第29章
“愿恩惠……归与你们。”我们的一切都来自上帝白白赐予的恩典。圣约的恩典使我们成为上帝的儿女。救主的恩典成就了我们的救赎,重生和高升,与基督同做后嗣。不是因我们先爱上帝,祂才爱我们;而是“当我们还作罪人的时候”,基督就为我们死了。……虽然我们因悖逆而该承受上帝的忿怒与谴责。但是祂并没有抛弃我们,任凭我们与仇敌的权势孤军奋战。天上的使者要为我们作战。有他们的合作,我们就会战胜罪恶的权势。{HP34.2}[2]
一同在天上-第29章
“Grace be to you.” We owe everything to God’s free grace. Grace in the covenant ordained our adoption. Grace in the Saviour effected our redemption, our regeneration, and our exaltation to heirship with Christ. Not because we first loved Him did God love us; but “while we were yet sinners,” Christ died for us.... Although by our disobedience we have merited God’s displeasure and condemnation, yet He has not forsaken us, leaving us to grapple with the power of the enemy. Heavenly angels fight our battles for us, and cooperating with them, we may be victorious over the powers of evil.{HP 34.2}[2]
一同在天上-第29章
我们如果没有堕落,就永远不明白“恩典”一词的意义。上帝爱无罪的天使。他们为祂服务并顺从祂一切的命令。但祂并不赐给他们恩典。这些天上的生灵不了解恩典。他们不需要恩典,因为他们从来没有犯过罪。恩典是上帝向不配的世人所显示的一种品性。我们没有去寻求恩典,而是恩典受命来寻找我们。上帝乐意将这种恩典赐予凡渴慕的人,不是因为我们配得,而是因为我们的全然不配。我们的需要是保证我们领受这种恩赐的资格。{HP34.3}[3]
一同在天上-第29章
We should never have learned the meaning of this word “grace” had we not fallen. God loves the sinless angels, who do His service and are obedient to all His commands, but He does not give them grace. These heavenly beings know nought of grace; they have never needed it, for they have never sinned. Grace is an attribute of God shown to undeserving human beings. We ourselves did not seek after it, but it was sent out in search of us. God rejoices to bestow this grace upon all who hunger for it, not because we are worthy, but because we are so utterly unworthy. Our need is the qualification which gives us the assurance that we shall receive this gift.39{HP 34.3}[3]

上帝丰富的恩典等待着每一个患有罪病的人去要求。它必医治一切属灵的疾病。人心也能靠着恩典洁净诸般的污秽。它是凡相信之人的福音良药。{HP34.4}[4]
一同在天上-第29章
God’s supply of grace is waiting the demand of every sinsick soul. It will heal every spiritual disease. By it hearts may be cleansed from all defilement. It is the gospel remedy for everyone who believes.40{HP 34.4}[4]
一同在天上-第29章
我们可能在追求圣洁的道路上天天上进,但仍有更高的高峰需要攀登。然而属灵肌肉的每一次伸展,心思意念的每一次运用,都显明我们在前进时需要丰富的恩典。{HP34.5}[5]
一同在天上-第29章
We may make daily progress in the upward path to holiness and yet we find still greater heights to be reached; but every stretch of the spiritual muscles, every taxation of heart and brain, brings to light the abundance of the supply of grace essential for us as we advance.{HP 34.5}[5]
一同在天上-第29章
我们越关注这些财富,就能越拥有它们,并越彰显基督牺牲的功劳,祂公义的保护,祂莫可言喻的爱,祂丰盛的智慧,以及祂使我们毫无玷污皱纹等类的病献在天父面前的能力。{HP34.6}[6]
一同在天上-第29章
The more we contemplate these riches, the more we will come into possession of them, and the more we shall reveal the merits of Christ’s sacrifice, the protection of His righteousness, His inexpressible love, the fullness of His wisdom, and His power to present us before the Father without spot or wrinkle or any such thing.41{HP 34.6}[6]
