The love and the grace of God are so great! God loves people so much, He only wants the best for people and to have a relationship with them. God wanted this so much, that He sent His only begotten Son Jesus Christ to this earth, to become a sacrifice for humanity. Jesus took all the sins, iniquities, 疾病, and sicknesses of humanity upon Him. Jesus died for everyone, 包括你. So that you’ll be delivered from sin and the power of darkness and be reconciled with the Father.
什么是神的恩典?
因为神如此爱世人, 他赐下他的独生子, 叫一切信他的不至灭亡, 但有永生 (约翰 3:16)
Jesus took the sins of the world and carried our punishment; death and eternal torture in hell. Jesus took it all on Himself, so that we would be freed from sin, iniquity, 和死亡. By His blood, we’re reconciled with the Father and can have a relationship with Him and live in freedom on this earth.
What a love is that!! What a grace of God!
And salvation is not all, that He has done. 不! He gave us His Holy Spirit. So that we could live on earth as sons of God (男性和女性).
这意味着, that we can live a life that Jesus lived because what Jesus had, we have.
The life as a son or daughter of God is for now and not after we die and go to heaven.
The grace of God is that we’re not justified by our works, but by the work of Jesus Christ and His blood. We are saved by faith in Jesus Christ.
Being now justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by His life (罗马书 5:9-10)
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast (以弗所书 2:8-9)
We could never earn our salvation by works! Only by the grace of God, 在基督里, we’re restored (痊愈了), reconciled with God, and become partakers of the inheritance that God has given us through His Son Jesus Christ.
What is the inheritance of the sons of God?
The inheritance is the gift of the Holy Spirit; the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. We may walk in these spiritual gifts and distribute life to others.
The grace of God is, that we may have a relationship with God through Jesus Christ. What a blessing it is, to be and walk in His presence. There is nothing we can do to earn this, no works will get us there. The only thing we have to do is believe in Jesus Christ.
We have received it freely. How great is God’s love!
Does the grace of God allow us to walk in sin?
But now comes the essential point, Are we allowed to walk in sin after we become born again? Can we walk like we used to walk before we accepted Jesus as our Saviour and Lord and repented?
答案是, of course, 不! Because if you keep sinning, 你后悔了什么? If you don’t turn your back to sin, but keep walking in sin.
When you have an encounter with Jesus Christ, His presence and holiness will confront you with your sins, 罪恶的本性, and your filthy state.
When you are confronted with your sins and sinful nature, you have two options: you mourn, 悔改, and accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, or you walk away, reject Jesus and His redemptive work, and keep living in sin.
If you choose the first option, you repent from your sins and accept Him, as your Saviour and Lord, then by His blood, which was shed on the cross on Calvary, you will be cleansed of all your sins and iniquities. 从那一刻起, 你的 old life is gone and washed away by the blood of Jesus. You’ll be baptized in water and baptized with the Holy Spirit and become a new creation; 神的儿子 (这适用于男性和女性).
What is the power of the blood of Jesus Christ?
因此，若有人在基督里, 他是一个新造的人: 旧事已逝; 看, 一切都变成新的了 (2 哥林多前书 5:17)
Isn’t that wonderful, all the old things are passed away and all things become new. That is the power of the cross and the blood of Jesus Christ.
But when you return to your old sinful life, you will deny the power of His blood and therefore deny Jesus Christ.
When you are taught in the Word of God and study the Word of God and keep walking in sin, still doing the things that you did before your repentance, and use ‘the grace’ as a license to sin (because you love your old life and don’t want to give it up), you deceive yourself.
The devil is a liar and twisted the meaning of grace.
If you keep walking in sin and say it’s alright to sin and use the grace of God to keep on sinning, this only means one thing: you don’t want to die to self and are not really born again.
You may think you are, but your actions prove that you are not born again. You still listen to your old father the devil, by walking in sins.
You’re holy and righteous, therefore act holy and righteous
当你重生时, 你成为神的儿子; 一个新的创造. As a son of God, you have His nature dwelling on the inside of you. You have become holy and righteous.
You are seated in Jesus Christ. Your life is hidden in Him, you have become one with Him. Now it’s up to you, if you want to stay in Him.
If you stay in Him; 神的话语, you obey His words and walk in His commandments. You will do His will instead of your will. When you obey Him and walk in His will, you walk holy and righteousness.
“Be holy, 因为我是圣洁的。
How can you become one with Him and become a partaker of His nature, when you keep obeying and serving the devil, by walking in sins? 这不可能!
You can either do the will of the Father and walk in His commandments or do the will of the devil and keep walking in sins and iniquities, fulfilling the will, 欲望, 和肉体的欲望.
Do you know that every time you sin, you serve and exalt the devil?
什么是罪?
Sin is rebellion and disobedience to God. Sin is everything, that oppose the words and the will of God and therefore trespasses His commandments.
Paul wrote in Roman 6:1-23 the following about sin;
那我们该说什么? 我们要继续犯罪吗, 使恩典显多? 上帝禁止. 我们该如何, 向罪死了的人, 继续住在那里? 你不知道吗, that so many of us as were baptised into Jesus Christ were baptised into his death? 因此我们通过洗礼归入死亡而与他一同埋葬: 就像基督借着天父的荣耀从死里复活一样, 即使如此我们也应该走在新的生活中. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likenessof his resurrection: 知道这一点, that our old man is crucified with him, 使罪恶的身体被毁灭, 从今以后我们不应该为罪恶服务. 因为死者已脱离罪孽.
Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
“因此，不要让罪在你必死的身体上作王”
因此，不要让罪在你必死的身体上作王, 叫你们顺从它的私欲. 也不要将你们的肢体献给罪恶，作为不义的工具: 但要将自己降服于神, 就像那些从死里复活的人一样, 和你的肢体作为上帝公义的工具. 因为罪恶不会统治你: 因为你们不在律法之下, 但在恩典之下.
“Shall we sin, 因为我们不受法律约束, 但在恩典之下? 上帝禁止”
然后怎样呢? Shall we sin, 因为我们不受法律约束, 但在恩典之下? 上帝禁止. 你不知道吗, 你们把自己当作仆人来服从, 你们是他的仆人，你们要服从他; 是否犯了至于死的罪, 或顺从正义? 但感谢上帝, 你们是罪的奴仆, 但你们从心底里服从了交付给你们的教义形式.
然后就脱离了罪孽, 你们成了正义的仆人. 因为你肉体的软弱，我按照人的方式说话: 因为你们使你们的肢体成为污秽的奴仆，成为罪孽的奴仆。; 即使这样，现在也要让你们的肢体成为公义的仆人，以致圣洁. 因为当你们还是罪的奴仆时, 你们脱离了正义.
“罪的工价就是死亡”
你们当时在那些你们现在感到羞耻的事上有什么果子呢？? For the end of those things is death. 但现在已经脱离了罪孽, 并成为神的仆人, 你们已经结出圣洁的果子, 和永生的终结.
因为罪的工价就是死亡; 但神的恩赐是通过我们的主耶稣基督获得永生.
Why the grace of God is not a license to sin?
The grace of God is not a license to keep sinning. When you get to know the Word, you will turn your back to sin, 做他喜悦的事.
The grace of God is the unending love of the Father, that through His Son Jesus Christ, you may become a partaker of the inheritance for His people. His grace is the ability and the privilege to become sons and daughters of the most High God, by faith in Jesus Christ and by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
神的恩典, is the sanctification period. It is the time God gives you, 自 赶走老人, 和 穿上新人. So that you will walk as a son of God in the Light and the dominion, that Jesus walked in on earth.
You will walk as Jesus walked and reveal and destroy the works of the devil. You’ll preach the gospel, set the captives free, and heal those who are sick in the Name of Jesus.
You will no longer walk after the flesh in sin (in rebellion and disobedience to God and His Word), but after the Spirit in obedience to the Word in the wisdom and knowledge of God, doing the works of righteousness. 现在, that is grace!
Therefore separate yourself and live like Jesus lived. Renew your mind with the words of God and be courageous. Don’t let anyone discourage you! Continue, even when people around you think you are a fool.
Keep your eyes on Jesus Christ, the living Word of God. He is the One you need to follow!
