得神的拯救與獲得神的恩典的通路
以弗所書 第二章八至九節:
你們得救是本乎恩典,也因著信心。這並不是出於自己,乃是神所賜的;也不是本於行為,免得有人自誇。
那麼什麼樣的人得神的拯救與獲得神的恩典呢?
以弗所書 第二章七節:
為了在將來的各世代中,在基督耶穌裡,藉著對我們的仁慈,可以顯出他那無限恩典的豐盛。
以弗所書 第二章十節:
實際上,我們是神的創作,是為了美善的工作在基督耶穌裡被造成的;神早已預備好了美善工作,要我們在其中行事。
這兩經文明確地指出了唯有在基督裡的人才能得神的拯救與獲得神的恩典。那麼人要如何才能在基督裡呢?
約翰福音 第十四章二十三節:
耶穌回答說:「如果有人愛我,他就會遵守我的話語,我父也會愛他,而且我們將要來到他那裡,並且在他那裡安置我們的住處。
從這經文可知,人唯有遵守耶穌的話語,他才能住在基督裡。人唯有住在基督裡,他才能得神的拯救與獲得神的恩典。阿門!
The Path to God’s Salvation and the Way to Receive His Grace
Salvation Is by God’s Grace. The Apostle Paul makes the foundation of our faith clear:
Ephesians 2:8–9
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast.”
Salvation is not something we can earn by our own effort or by our deeds. It is a gift from God, received through faith.
Who Can Receive God’s Salvation and Grace?
The Scriptures answer this question plainly:
Ephesians 2:7
“In order that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.”
Ephesians 2:10
“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”
These verses clearly teach that God’s salvation and grace are available only in Christ Jesus. Grace is not given apart from Him; it is received in Christ.
How Can One Be “In Christ”?
John 14:23
Jesus answered, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.”
From this passage we can understand that only those who obey Jesus’ words can abide in Christ. And only those who abide in Christ can receive God’s salvation and obtain His grace. Amen!
