29弗二7 好在要来的诸世代中,显示祂在基督耶稣里,向我们所施恩慈中恩典超越的丰富。
29Eph. 2:7 That He might display in the ages to come the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
30林前十五10 然而因着神的恩,我成了我今天这个人,并且神的恩临到我,不是徒然的;反而我比众使徒格外劳苦,但这不是我,乃是神的恩与我同在。
301 Cor. 15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am; and His grace unto me did not turn out to be in vain, but, on the contrary, I labored more abundantly than all of them, yet not I but the grace of God which is with me.
31神的恩是极其重大的事。……按新约看,恩典实际上是神之于我们的所是,作我们的享受(约一16~17林后十二9)。……恩典主要不是神为我们作的工作;恩典乃是三一神自己分赐到我们这人里面,给我们经历,作我们的享受。简单地说,恩典就是三一神给我们经历并享受。
31The grace of God is a matter of tremendous significance. According to the New Testament, grace is actually what God is to us for our enjoyment (John 1:16-17; 2 Cor. 12:9)…Grace is mainly not the work God does for us; grace is the Triune God Himself dispensed into our being and experienced as our enjoyment. In brief, grace is the Triune God experienced and enjoyed by us.
32约翰一章十七节说,恩典是借着耶稣基督来的。……恩典的人位化就是神自己。保罗领悟这点,他说,“这不是我,乃是神的恩与我同在。”(林前十五10)对保罗而言,恩典是活的人位。在保罗身上,这人位成了他借以劳苦的恩典。……神给我们享受时,那就是恩典。恩典就是这位神在祂的儿子耶稣基督里,成为我们的分,使我们享受祂的一切所是(新约总论第一册,一一九至一二○页)。
32John 1:17 says that grace came through Jesus Christ…The personification of grace is God Himself. Paul realized this when he said, “Not I, but the grace of God which is with me” (1 Cor. 15:10). For Paul, grace was a living person. In Paul this person became the very grace by which he labored…When God is enjoyed by us, that is grace. Grace is the very God in His Son Jesus Christ to be our portion so that we may enjoy all He is. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, p. 102)

33罗马五章十七节说,我们能凭恩典在生命中作王。在这些日子里,我们一直说到神人,说到在生命上并在性情上,而不在神格上成为神。作王就是成为神。……只有一位王。但我们是这一位王的儿女,也能在祂的生命中作王。因着我们像神一样作王,我们就借着在生命中作王,而在生命上并在性情上,但不在神格上成为神。
33Romans 5:17 says that we can reign in life by grace. In these days we are speaking about being a God-man, about becoming God in life and in nature but not in the Godhead. To reign is to be God…There is only one King. But we as the children of this one King can also reign in His life. Since we reign as God does, by reigning in life we become the very God in life and in nature but not in the Godhead.
34作王就是胜过、征服并管理撒但、世界、罪、肉体、自己以及周围一切的环境。保罗在罗马八章如此说,“谁能使我们与基督的爱隔绝?”(35)然后他说,“借着那爱我们的,在这一切的事上,我们已经得胜有余了。”(37)没有什么能使我们与基督的爱隔绝,因为我们在一切环境中,对一切问题,都是得胜有余的。
34To reign is to conquer, subdue, and rule over Satan, the world, sin, the flesh, ourselves, and all the environmental circumstances. In Romans 8 Paul says this: “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?” (v. 35). Then he says, “We more than conquer through Him who loved us” (v. 37). Nothing can separate us from the love of Christ, because we are more than conquerors over all the troubles in our environment.
35从小孩口中出来主要的话就是“不要!”我们若不能在神圣的生命里管理我们的儿女,怎能作王?我们作父母的信徒必须操练自己,学习如何在管理儿女的事上作王。我们必须有恩典来管理我们的儿女。我们也必须管理我们里面的罪,管理撒但,并管理世界。我们不该让世界的时髦胜过我们。反之,我们应当胜过一切,并且凭恩典在生命中作王。
35The main word that comes out of young children is “No!” How can we be kings when we cannot rule our children in the divine life? We believers who are parents must exercise ourselves to learn how to be kings in ruling our children. We must have grace to rule our children. We also have to rule over the sin within us, to rule over Satan, and to rule over the world. We should not let the world’s fashion conquer us. Instead, we should conquer all things and reign in life by grace.
36在林后十二章九节我们看见,基督所给使徒保罗那够用的恩典,作为基督那在人的软弱上显得完全,并覆庇使徒的能力。神给使徒保罗许多高的启示,所以神关切他因得着这许多启示而骄傲。神甚至把他带到三层天,到乐园,听见不能言传的话语,是人不可说的(2~4)。所以神给他一根刺,就是撒但的使者,邪灵,时时攻击他(7)。保罗三次祷告,叫这刺挪去,但主不挪去。反之,祂对保罗说,“我的恩典够你用的。”(8~9)没有人能忍受这根刺,但主的恩典能。这全丰全足的恩典成了维持并扶持保罗的能力。这恩典也覆庇他,如同帐棚覆罩在他身上,保护他,遮盖他。因此,这全丰全足的恩典作两件事。首先,这恩典在积极一面扶持、维持并加强我们;这是攻势的。其次,这恩典遮盖并保护我们;这是守势的。这全丰全足的恩典就是基督,而基督乃是经过过程、终极完成的三一神,成为那灵。基督这末后的亚当成了赐生命的灵(林前十五45下)(李常受文集一九九四至一九九七年第一册,五一二至五一三、五二八至五二九页)。
36In 2 Corinthians 12:9 we see the sufficient grace of Christ to the apostle Paul as the power of Christ that was perfected in weakness and that overshadowed the apostle. God gave the apostle Paul many high revelations, so God was concerned for him that he might be proud in receiving these many revelations. God had even brought him to the third heaven and to Paradise to hear unspeakable words, which it was not allowed for a man to speak (vv. 2-4). So God gave him a thorn, which was a messenger of Satan, an evil spirit, to buffet him all the time (v. 7). Paul prayed three times for the thorn to be removed, but the Lord would not remove it. Instead, He told Paul, “My grace is sufficient for you” (vv. 8-9). No one could bear such a thorn, but the Lord’s grace could. This all-sufficient grace became the power to sustain and support Paul. It also overshadowed him, tabernacled over him, to protect and cover him. Thus, the all-sufficient grace does two things. First, it supports, sustains, and strengthens us positively; this is offensive. Second, it covers and protects us; this is defensive. This all-sufficient grace is Christ, and Christ is the processed, consummated Triune God to be the Spirit. Christ as the last Adam became a life-giving Spirit (1 Cor. 15:45b). (CWWL, 19941997, vol. 1, “Crystallization-study of the Epistle to the Romans,” pp. 406407, 419-420)

今日要点
38主题:认识、经历并享受三一神作恩典
38
39引经:弗二7林前十五10
39
401.我们需要认识、经历并享受神的恩典:
40
41A.弗二7说,『好在要来诸世代中,显示祂在基督耶稣里,向我们所施恩慈中恩典超越的丰富』,这指明我们需要认识、经历并享受神的恩典,因为神的恩典有极重大的意义,按新约看,恩典实际上是神之于我们的所是,作我们的享受,新约启示,恩典主要不是神为我们作的工作,恩典乃是三一神自己分赐到我们这人里面,给我们经历,作我们的享受。
41
42b.我们要认识在新约中恩典的不同方面,包括大恩、看得见的恩典、恩典拯救我们、恩典使我们得着加力、赐给人的恩典、真实的恩典、被托与神的恩典、尽功用的恩典、恩典作应时的帮助、洋溢作王的恩典、因恩典得称义、如何领受恩典、照着恩典而有的恩赐、够用的恩典、主耶稣基督的恩、恩典与我们同在、以及愿主耶稣基督的恩与众圣徒同在等,这些方面。
42
432.恩典乃是一个人位,就是三一神自己作我们的享受:
43
44a.根据约一17指出,律法是借着摩西赐的,恩典是借着耶稣基督来的,这指明恩典乃是一个人位,恩典的人位化就是神自己保罗领悟这一点,所以他在林前十五10才会说,『然而因着神的恩,我成了我今天这个人,并且神的恩临到我,不是徒然的;反而我比众使徒格外劳苦,但这不是我,乃是神的恩与我同在』。
44
45b.与保罗同在的是三一神自己作他的经历与享受,所以,当神给我们享受时,那就是恩典,所以我们可以说,恩典就是这位神在祂的儿子耶稣基督里,成为我们的分,使我们享受祂的一切所是,恩典不仅是神自己,更是行动的基督、作工的基督、掌权的基督、使人信服的基督、征服一切的基督、施行拯救的基督、和将人拔高的基督。
45
46应用:保罗三次祷告,叫神所给的那一根刺挪去,但主却告诉他,主的恩典够他用,我们需要向主敞开,像保罗这样祷告,好让主的恩典在积极一面扶持、维持并加强我们,并在消极一面保护、遮盖我们。
