9在基督耶稣里〔彼前五10〕,指明那全般恩典的神经过成为肉体、为人生活、钉十字架、复活并升天的过程,成就完备且完满的救赎,使祂能将祂所救赎的人带进与祂自己生机的联结里。这样他们就能有分于三一神的丰富作他们的享受。神圣工作的一切步骤都是在基督里,祂是三一神的具体化身,成了包罗万有赐生命的灵,作我们全备的生命供应。在这基督里,借着祂包罗万有的救赎,并基于祂一切的成就,神就能成为全般恩典的神,召我们得享祂永远的荣耀,并在那作稳固根基的三一神(一2)里成全我们,坚固我们,加强我们,给我们立定根基,这样就使我们能达到祂荣耀的目标。……祂在我们身上成全、坚固、加强并立基的工作……是何其超绝!这都是借祂全般的恩典,也就是真实的恩典(五12)所成就的(圣经恢复本,彼前五10注3)。 9In Christ Jesus indicates that the God of all grace went through all the processes of incarnation, human living, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension to accomplish the complete and full redemption that He may bring His redeemed people into an organic union with Himself. Thus they can participate in the riches of the Triune God as their enjoyment. All the steps of the divine operation are in Christ, who is the embodiment of the Triune God and who became the all-inclusive life-giving Spirit as the bountiful life supply to us. It is in this Christ, through His all-inclusive redemption and based on all His achievements, that God can be the God of all grace to call us into His eternal glory and to perfect, establish, strengthen, and ground us in the Triune God (1:1-2) as the solid foundation, thus enabling us to attain His glorious goal… How excellent is His perfecting, establishing, strengthening, and grounding work in us! This is all accomplished through His “all grace,” which is the “true grace” (5:12). (1 Pet. 5:10, footnote 4)
