15在行传二十章三十二节,我们看见神恩典的话的功用。第一,这话能建造圣徒。建造圣徒需要在神圣的生命里长大,而在神圣的生命里长大需要神圣元素的滋养,并得着神圣知识的造就和装备。唯有借着神丰盛恩典的话,才能有这一切;这恩典乃是三一神自己,祂经过了成为肉体、为人生活、钉十字架、复活、升天等一切过程,就将自己赐给圣徒,作他们的享受。
15In Acts 20:32 we see the function of the word of God’s grace. First, this word is able to build up the saints. To build up the saints requires the growth in the divine life, and the growth in the divine life needs the nourishment of the divine element and the edification and equipment with the divine knowledge. All of these can be afforded only by the word of God’s abundant grace, which is the Triune God Himself who went through all the processes of incarnation, human living, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension and who has been given to the saints for their enjoyment.
