How to Receive the Grace of God
如何得到上帝的恩典
By Rick Warren — Mar 2, 2016
“For the law was given through Moses, but God’s unfailing love and faithfulness came through Jesus Christ.” (John 1:17 NLT, second edition)
律法是借著摩西頒布的，恩典和真理卻是借著耶穌基督而來(lái)的。（約1:17 新譯本）
In yesterday’s devotional we looked at the 10 great benefits of God’s grace in our lives. As you read those benefits, you may have wondered how you can receive that grace in your life. It would be tragic to discover all God wants to do in your life through his grace yet never accept it in your life.
在昨天的靈修中，我們看到了上帝的恩典給我們的生命帶來(lái)的十個(gè)極大的益處。如果你看了那些益處，你也許想知道，你如何才能在你的生命中得到這些恩典呢？不幸的是，你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)，所有上帝希望通過(guò)他的恩典在你生命中的工作，都被你拒之門(mén)外。
So how do you receive the grace of God in your life?
那么，你要如何才能在你的生命中領(lǐng)受上帝的恩典呢？
There isn’t a 23-part answer to the question. You don’t need to go to seminary to discover it.
這里并沒(méi)有23種問(wèn)題的答案。你也不必一定要上神學(xué)院就可發(fā)現(xiàn)它。
The Bible gives an easy, three-word answer for how you can receive the grace of God: by trusting Christ.
圣經(jīng)對(duì)于你如何得到上帝的恩典給了一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單，三個(gè)詞的回答：借著相信基督。
The Bible says in John 1:17, “For the law was given through Moses, but God’s unfailing love and faithfulness came through Jesus Christ” (NLT, second edition).
圣經(jīng)在約翰福音1:17節(jié)說(shuō)到“律法是借著摩西頒布的，恩典和真理卻是借著耶穌基督而來(lái)的?！?/p>
God’s grace is entirely wrapped up in a person: Jesus. You can’t get it through religion or ritual. You can’t get it by following the rules.
上帝的恩典借著一個(gè)人，完全的顯明出來(lái)：耶穌基督。你不能借著宗教和儀式去得到它。你也不能因著遵守律法而得到它。
You get it through Jesus.
你是透過(guò)耶穌去得到它。
God’s grace is free. You simply need to accept it.
上帝的恩典完全免費(fèi)。你僅僅需要接受他就可以了。
But let me be very clear: God’s grace is not cheap. It cost Jesus his life. Grace is the most expensive commodity there is. Jesus died on the cross to pay for it.
但是，讓我把話說(shuō)清楚：上帝的恩典絕對(duì)不是廉價(jià)的。這是耶穌用他的生命買(mǎi)來(lái)的。恩典是所有東西里面最貴的。耶穌在十字架上付上了死的代價(jià)。
Jesus’ death on the cross accomplished three things in our lives:
耶穌在十字架上的死，在我們的生命中成全了三件事：
It paid the penalty for sin. Someone had to pay for the penalty for our sin. If you have a relationship with Jesus, he has taken care of your penalty.
1. 為罪做了贖價(jià)。耶穌已經(jīng)為我們所有的罪做了贖價(jià)。如果你與耶穌建立了關(guān)系，他就做了你的贖價(jià)。
It broke the power of sin. Jesus’ death on the cross gives us the power to change the habits, hurts, and hangups that derail our lives.
2. 打破了罪的權(quán)勢(shì)。耶穌在十字架上的死，賜給我們力量去改變破壞我們生活的習(xí)性、痛處和煩惱。
The presence of sin will be obliterated. One day all who follow Jesus will go to Heaven, where there won’t be any sin.
3. 除去了今生的罪。有一天，所有跟隨耶穌的人都可以去天堂，那是一個(gè)沒(méi)有任何罪的地方。
The costly grace God offers will change everything about your life.
上帝所付出的昂貴的恩典，將會(huì)改變你生命中的全部。
You just have to accept it!
你只需要接受他就可以了！
