恩典的救赎

Salvation Is Free

得蒙神的恩典，是因基督耶稣的救赎，白白地称义。——罗马书3:24

Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.             —Romans 3:24

救赎是白白得来的。上帝没有给恩典标价—恩典是白白得来的！传道人不是销售员，因他们没有东西可卖。他们是福音的传播者，这福音就是：基督照圣经所说的，为我们的罪死了(哥林多前书15:3)。金钱买不到福音，正直换不来福音，社会威望不能帮助你得到它，道德不能买到它。正如以赛亚所说：不用银钱，不用价值。

上帝不是一位讨价还价的上帝。你也不能跟他讨价还价，你只能按照他自己的方式来与他相交，在他权能的手中掌有无价的，珍贵的和永恒的救赎，并且他使你不用花一分钱就可以得到救赎。生命中最好的事都是免费的，不是吗？我们呼吸的空气不按体积来出售，从山中小溪涌流出清澈的水源也是供我们免费 饮用的。

爱是免费的，信仰是免费的，希望也是免费的！

Salvation is free! God puts no price tag on the Gift of gifts—it’s free! Preachers are not salesmen, for they have nothing to sell. They are bearers of Good News—the good tidings that “Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures” (1 Corinthians 15:3). Money can’t buy it. Man’s righteousness can’t earn it. Social prestige can’t help you acquire it. Morality can’t purchase it. It is, as Isaiah said, “without money and without price.”

God is not a bargaining God. You cannot barter with Him. You must do business with Him on His own terms. He holds in His omnipotent hand the priceless, precious, eternal gift of salvation, and He bids you to take it without money and without price. The best things in life are free, are they not? The air we breathe is not sold by the cubic foot. The water which flows crystal clear from the mountain stream is free for the taking. Love is free, faith is free, hope is free.

今日祷告

我的救赎是由你昂贵的牺牲换来的，但你把它白白的赐给我，主啊，我赞美你因你把你最爱的耶稣基督赐给了我！

Prayer for the day

Even though my salvation was obtained only through the costliest sacrifice ever made, You freely gave it to me. Lord, I praise You for this gift so lovingly given.
