豐富恩典

經文: 「我主的恩是格外豐盛，使我在基督耶穌裡有信心和愛心。」（提摩太前書一：14）

若我們想要正確地珍惜寶愛恩典寶座，我們就得先瞭解寶座為我們準備了何等豐盛的恩典。聖經曾出現下列的詞句如：豐盛的恩典、榮耀的恩典、格外豐盛、數不盡的恩典。當我們來到上帝施恩寶座前，務必將這些話語牢記在心裡。

更何況上帝的恩典，「與那因耶穌一人恩典中的賞賜，豈不更加倍的臨到眾人嗎？」（羅五：15）「那些受洪恩又蒙所賜之義的，豈不更要因耶穌基督一人在生命中作王嗎？」（羅五：17）「只是罪在那裡顯多，恩典就更顯多了。」（羅五：20）

「然而我今日成了何等人，是蒙上帝的恩才成的，並且祂所賜我的恩不是徒然的。」（林前十五：10）「上帝能將各樣的恩惠，多多的加給你們，使你們凡事常常充足，能多行各樣善事。」（林後九：8）

「使祂榮耀的恩典得著稱讚，這恩典是祂在愛子裡所賜給我們的。……乃是照祂豐富的恩典。」（以弗所一：6∼7）「然而上帝既有豐富的憐憫，因祂愛我們的大愛，……便叫我們與基督一同復活過來。……要將祂極豐富的恩典，就是祂在基督耶穌裡向我們所顯的恩慈，顯明給後來的世代看。」（弗二：4∼7）

這些話語是何等寶貴，且讓聖靈將這些話銘刻在你心裡，好讓你明白這施恩的寶座，是何等榮耀，有格外豐盛的恩典。讓這樣的思想整天都佔據你的腦海，使你明白只要你坦然無懼地來到施恩寶座前，求憐恤得恩惠，我們這位滿有慈愛，樂於施恩的大祭司耶穌，必將從上頭來的恩典，厚厚地賞賜給你。


ABUNDANT GRACE

Scripture: "The grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus."—1 TIM. i. 14.

If we would value and love the Throne of Grace aright, we must try to understand what it is that it provides for our use. Scripture uses great words to reveal this grace to us. It speaks of "the riches of grace," "the glory of grace," "the abundance of grace," "the exceeding riches of grace," "the manifold riches of grace." Let these words sink deep into your hearts as we point to them in God's Word.

"Much more did the grace of God, and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound unto the many" (Rom. v. 15). "Much more shall they that receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, even Jesus Christ" (v. 17). "Where sin abounded, grace did abound more exceedingly" (v. 20).

"By the grace of God, I am what I am: and His grace which was bestowed upon me was not found vain [powerless] ; but I labored more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me" (1 Cor. xv. 10). "God is able to make all grace abound unto you; that ye, always having all suf¬ficiency in all things, may abound to every good work" (2 Cor. ix. 8).

"To the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved: according to the riches of His grace" (Eph. i. 6, 7). "But God, being rich in mercy, for His great love wherewith He loved us, quickened us together with Christ; that He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus" (Eph. ii. 4-7).

What treasures are contained in these words! Let the Holy Spirit write them in your heart, that you may receive the full impression of the "exceeding riches" and the abundance of the glory of the grace to be received at the Throne of Grace. Let the thought take possession of you that all day long the abundance of grace will be granted to the soul who approaches with boldness, and is ready to receive from the sympathizing High Priest that which He has to bestow.
