纲目
1壹 称义是神照着祂义的标准称许我们的行动;信徒的义不是他们在自己里面所拥有的光景,乃是他们所联于的一个人位,就是活的基督自己:
1
2一 我们信入基督时,就蒙神赦罪(徒十43),神就能称义我们(罗三2426);这是借着使基督成为我们的义,并给我们穿上基督作义袍(赛六一10路十五22耶二三6亚三4)。

3罗三24 ……因神的恩典,借着在基督耶稣里的救赎,就白白地得称义。
3Rom. 3:24 Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus.
426 为着在今时显示祂的义,使祂能是义的,也能称那以信耶稣为本的人为义。
426 With a view to the demonstrating of His righteousness in the present time, so that He might be righteous and the One who justifies him who is of the faith of Jesus.
5称义是神照着祂义的标准称许人的行动。祂的义是标准,我们的义不是。……神的义有多高?它是无限的!你能照着你自己的义得神称许么?这是不可能的。虽然你也许与每个人—你的父母、你的儿女和你的朋友—都是对的,但你的义绝不会在神面前称义你。你也许照着你义的标准称义自己,但那不能使你照着神的标准得祂称义。我们需要因信称义。在神面前因信称义,意思就是我们照着神义的标准得神称义。
5Justification is God’s action in approving people according to His standard of righteousness. His righteousness is the standard, not ours…How high is God’s righteousness? It is unlimited! Can you be approved by God according to your own righteousness? This is impossible. Although you may be right with everyone—with your parents, your children, and your friends—your righteousness will never justify you before God. You may justify yourself according to your standard of righteousness, but that does not enable you to be justified by God according to His standard. We need justification by faith. Justification by faith before God means that we are approved by God according to the standard of His righteousness.
6神怎能这样作?祂能这样作,因为我们的称义是基于基督的救赎。基督的救赎应用到我们身上,我们就得称义。若没有这样的救赎,我们就不可能得神称义。救赎是称义的基础(罗马书生命读经,六○至六一页)。
6How can God do this? He can do it because our justification is based upon the redemption of Christ. When the redemption of Christ is applied to us, we are justified. If there were no such redemption, it would be impossible for us to be justified by God. Redemption is the basis of justification. (Life-study of Romans, p. 49)

7研究圣经的人对“信耶稣基督”(直译,耶稣基督的信)(罗三22)的解释有很大的难处。有些人说这辞的意思是我们相信耶稣基督的行动。有些人争辩说是指耶稣的信,就是耶稣的信成为我们的。我要这样说:真正的信是凭着主耶稣的信而相信祂。我们凭着耶稣基督的信相信祂,因我们没有自己的信。耶稣是我们信心的创始者与成终者(来十二2)。
7Bible students have great difficulty with the phrase the faith of Jesus Christ (Rom. 3:22). Some say that it means our act of believing in Jesus Christ. Others argue that it refers to the faith of Jesus, that the faith of Jesus becomes ours. I would put it this way: genuine believing is to believe in the Lord Jesus by His faith. We believe in Jesus Christ by His faith, for we have no faith of our own. Jesus is the Author and Perfecter of our faith (Heb. 12:2)
8神的义在律法以外,借着我们凭耶稣基督的信相信祂,已经显明出来。我们乃是凭着基督的信,不是凭着自己的信相信祂。基督是我们的信。绝不要说你信不来,因为你要信就能信。不要试着凭自己信,因为你越试,你所有的信就越少。只要说,“哦,主耶稣,我爱你。主耶稣,你真好。”你若这样作,立刻就会有信。我们凭着耶稣基督的信相信祂,而神的义本于这信显示与这信,就向一切信的人显示出来。
8…The righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law by our believing in Jesus Christ by His faith. We believe in Christ by His faith, not by our own. Christ is our faith. Never say that you cannot believe, for you can believe if you want to. Do not try to believe by yourself, because the more you try, the less faith you have. Simply say, “O Lord Jesus, I love You…You are so good.” If you do this, you will have faith immediately. We believe in Jesus Christ by His faith, and out of this faith and to this faith, the righteousness of God is revealed to all who believe.
9照着我们的经历,不是神先称许我们,乃是我们先称许神〔罗三4〕。……我们是悖逆的,并且说,“我不喜欢神。神不对。”在我们得救以前,我们都这样想。许多人顶撞神说,“神若是对的,为什么地上有这么多可怜的人?神若是对的,为什么国际间没有公理?”他们承认有神,但宣称祂不是义的。……神一直忍耐我们,为我们作许多事,直到祂最终使我们确信祂的义。谁先称义谁?我们先称义神。当神使我们确信祂的义,我们就称义祂,并悔改流泪说,“神,赦免我。我是罪恶、不洁的。我需要你的赦免。”
9According to our experience, it was not God who first approved us but we who approved God [Rom. 3:4]…We were rebellious and said, “I don’t like God. God is not right.” We all thought this way before we were saved. Many people speak against God, saying, “If God is right, why are there so many poor people on the earth? If God is right, why is there no justice among the nations?” They admit that there is God but claim that He is not righteous…God has been patient with us, doing many things for us until He finally convinced us of His righteousness. Who justified whom first? We first justified God. When we were convinced by God of His righteousness, we justified Him and wept in repentance, saying, “God, forgive me. I’m so sinful and unclean. I need Your forgiveness.”
10神因祂的恩典,借着在基督里的救赎,并借着我们信耶稣,已白白地称义我们(24、26)。基督既为我们的罪付了代价,并成就了完全的救赎,满足神一切的要求,神要成为义的,就必须称义我们。在神一面,称义是因祂的义;在我们一面,称义是因祂白白的恩典,并非因行律法。我们要因行律法得称义,就需要作工,但要因着在基督里的救赎称义,就不需要作工;称义乃是因祂的恩典白白赐给的。我们原不配得;但因着基督那满足神一切要求的救赎,神因祂的义,就必须称义我们(罗马书生命读经,六八至六九、七一至七四页)。
10God has justified us freely by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ and through the faith of Jesus (vv. 24, 26). Since Christ has paid the price for our sins and has accomplished the full redemption to meet all of God’s requirements, God, in order for Him to be just, must justify us. On God’s side justification is by His righteousness; on our side justification is by His free grace as compared with justification by the works of the law. To be justified by the works of the law, we need to work, but to be justified by the redemption in Christ, there is no need of our work; it is freely given by His grace. We do not deserve it. But God is bound by His righteousness to justify us because of the redemption of Christ, which meets all His requirements. (Life-study of Romans, pp. 55, 57-59)
