罗⻢书 Romans 5:1-2
罗⻢书 5:1-2 我们既因信称义,就借着我们的主耶稣基督得与神相和。我们⼜借着他,因信得进⼊现在所站的 这恩典中,并且欢欢喜喜盼望神的荣耀。(现代标点和合本)
Romans 5:1-2 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have the access by the faith into this grace in which we have stood Besides having His shalom peace, (NKJV)
那么,当我们与基督⼀同复活并称为义之 后,接下来怎么样呢?如今,我们是处在 称义的位置上。接着圣经说,我们既因信称义,就借着我们的主耶稣基督得与神相和。你已经与阿爸天⽗和好了。现在我们知道我们是被称为义,我们也可以宣称在我们 同我们的家⼈,以及在⽣活的各个⽅⾯, 都有从祂⽽来的四境平安。除了有从祂⽽来的四境平安,第⼆节告诉我们,我们⼜借着他,因信得进⼊现在所站的这恩典中,这意味着我们可以领受从天⽽来的丰盛供应。如同神给了你祂的信⽤卡和密码⼀样。阿们!什么是恩典呢?就是你⼀⽣⼀世都⾏在神的恩宠⾥。当你在接受治疗时,神的恩宠与你同在。当你光顾⼀家商店,神的恩宠与你同在,以⾄于其他的顾客也尾随⽽来。因着你的⾝上有恩宠,你的朋友愿意花时间与你共处,因为与你交谈是令⼈愉悦的事。恩宠也意味着你的孩⼦喜欢与你共度时光。这告诉我 们,当我们与基督⼀同复活,并被称为义,今天在我们的⽣命中有平安、恩宠和恩典,这⼀切都是从神⽽来,不是出于我们⾃⼰。
So, what is next after we have been raised up together with Christ, and having been declared righteous? Currently, our position is that we have been declared righteous. Next, the bible says that by faith, we now have peace towards God in Christ Jesus. You have peace with God. Now that we know we are righteous, we can also declare that we have His shalom peace to protect us, our families, and in every aspect of our lives. Verse 2 tells us that we also have access by faith into His grace, which means we have access to all the provisions and supplies in heaven. It is like God giving you His credit card and its pin number as well. Amen. What is grace? It is walking in favour all the days of your life. God’s favour is upon you when you are undergoing your treatment. God’s favour is with you when you walk into a store with other customers coming in after you. God’s favour is upon you in that your friends want to spend time with you because talking to you makes them feel pleasant. Favour means your children love to spend time with you. This tells us that after we have been raised with Christ, and having been declared righteous, today we have peace, favour, and grace in our lives and all these are from heaven, not from ourselves.
