It’s all about grace
这一切都是关于恩典
Ephesians 2
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
以弗所书第2章
【弗2:8】你们得救是本乎恩,也因着信;这并不是出于自己,乃是神所赐的;【弗2:9】也不是出于行为,免得有人自夸。
Psalm 40
2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. 3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord.
诗篇40篇
【诗40:2】他从祸坑里、从淤泥中把我拉上来,使我的脚立在磐石上,使我脚步稳当。【诗40:3】他使我口唱新歌,就是赞美我们神的话。许多人必看见而惧怕,并要倚靠耶和华。
1 Timothy 1
15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. 16 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all long-suffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.
提摩太前书第1章
【提前1:15】“基督耶稣降世,为要拯救罪人。”这话是可信的,是十分可佩服的。在罪人中我是个罪魁。【提前1:16】然而我蒙了怜悯,是因耶稣基督要在我这罪魁身上显明他一切的忍耐,给后来信他得永生的人作榜样。
It’s all about grace. Amen
这一切都是关于恩典……阿们
These are some of the most Christ exalting words in the Bible, they show God’s grace to save sinners. These verses also outline man’s complete inability to save themselves. Still after all this time, man is still trying to save himself, he invents and follows religions that are set up to help him better himself, they believe in self-help programs and worst of all, he refuses to believe that there is a GOD.
这些是圣经中一些最能高举基督的话语,这些话语展示了神拯救罪人的恩典。这些经文也概述了人完全无法自救的情况。即使过了这么长时间,人仍在尝试自救,他发明并追随一些宗教,以帮助他自我改进;他们相信自助计划,最糟糕的是,他们拒绝相信有神的存在。
He doesn’t realize that he can’t help himself, he is dead in his sins. Can you wake up a dead man? The only way a dead man can be made alive, is by God’s spirit, working in his heart. Man does not need a new moral framework; he needs a new heart.
他没有意识到他无法自救,他在罪中是死的。你能叫醒一个死人吗?一个死人唯一能够复活的方式是通过神的灵在他心中工作。人不需要一个新的道德框架,他需要一颗新心。
In Ezekiel 36, we have this promise:
26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
在以西结书 36 章,我们有这个应许:【结36:26】我也要赐给你们一个新心,将新灵放在你们里面。又从你们的肉体中除掉石心,赐给你们肉心。【结36:27】我必将我的灵放在你们里面,使你们顺从我的律例,谨守遵行我的典章。
God is the only One, who can spiritually make alive a person.
唯有神能使人灵命复活。
In Ezekiel 37, he is told to speak to the bones:
在以西结书第37章,先知以西结被指示向骨头讲道:
1 The hand of the Lord was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones, 2 And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry. 3 And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord God, thou knowest. 4 Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. 5 Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live: 6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
【结37:1】耶和华的灵(原文作“手”)降在我身上,耶和华藉他的灵带我出去,将我放在平原中,这平原遍满骸骨。【结37:2】他使我从骸骨的四围经过,谁知在平原的骸骨甚多,而且极其枯干。【结37:3】他对我说:“人子啊,这些骸骨能复活吗?”我说:“主耶和华啊,你是知道的。”【结37:4】他又对我说:“你向这些骸骨发预言说:枯干的骸骨啊,要听耶和华的话。【结37:5】主耶和华对这些骸骨如此说:我必使气息进入你们里面,你们就要活了。【结37:6】我必给你们加上筋,使你们长肉,又将皮遮蔽你们,使气息进入你们里面,你们就要活了。你们便知道我是耶和华。”
This is one of the greatest pictures of Grace in the Bible, although Ezekiel speaks to the bones, it is God who gives these bones breath. It is God, who puts flesh upon them.
这是圣经中关于恩典的最伟大图画之一,虽然以西结对这些骸骨说话,但赋予这些骸骨气息的是神。是神给它们披上肉体。
At conversion, God does open heart surgery, he gives you a new heart, he breaths into your spiritually dead body and makes you alive in Christ.
在归信时,神进行心脏手术,他赐给你一颗新心,他在你灵命死寂的身体里吹入气息,使你在基督里复活。
Has he done the above things in your life?
他在你的生命中做了上述事情吗?
Are you trying to reach God?
你在试图接近神吗?
Are you trying to do it on your own, through some man-made method?
你是否试图通过某种人为的方法来达到?
Come to the One, who said, he that comes to Me, I will not cast out.
来吧,到那位说“到我这里来的,我总不丢弃他”的那里来吧。
Come freely, come humbly, come in repentance.
自由地来,谦卑地来,带着悔改来。
God bless you,
上帝祝福你
Amen!
God Bless~
