今日真道圣言/2014年9月21日
问20 神是否任凭所有人类都在罪恶悲惨状况中灭亡？
答 神根据他自己美善旨意所喜悦的，在万古之先，拣选了一些人得永生，就设立了恩典之约，要借着一位救赎主，拯救他们脱离罪恶与愁苦，进入救恩的状况。
20 Q Did God leave all mankind to perish in the estate of sin and misery?
A. God having, out of His mere good pleasure, from all eternity, elected some to everlasting life, did enter into a covenant of grace, to deliver them out of the estate of sin and misery, and to bring them into an estate of salvation, by a Redeemer.
33 问：恩典之约始终都是以同一方式来施行么？
答：恩典之约并非都是以相同方式来施行，它在旧约时代的施行方式，与在新约时代的施行方式，是不同的。
Q. 33. Was the covenant of grace always administered after one and the same manner?
A. The covenant of grace was not always administered after the same manner, but the administrations of it under the Old Testament were different from those under the New.
34 问：恩典之约在旧约时代中是如何施行？
答：恩典之约在旧约时代的施行，是借着应许，先知的话，献祭，割礼，逾越节，以及其他预表和律例；这些都是预先指明那将要来的基督。这些对于旧约当时来说，足以造就选民信靠所应许的弥赛亚；使他们借着祂能得着完全的赦罪，与永远的救恩。
Q. 34. How was the covenant of grace administered under the Old Testament?
A. The covenant of grace was administered under the Old Testament, by promises, prophecies, sacrifices, circumcision, the passover, and other types and ordinances, which did all foresignify Christ then to come, and were for that time sufficient to build up the elect in faith in the promised messiah, by whom they then had full remission of sin, and eternal salvation.
35 问：恩典之约在新约时代是如何施行？
答：在新约时代时，旧约预表的实体，即基督，已经展示出来；同一的恩典之约，已经且继续不断的施行，是借着圣道的传讲，洗礼与圣餐的实施。在这些施恩的媒介中，恩典与拯救是以更加丰盛，更多证据，更加有效的方式，表明给万国万民。
Q. 35. How is the covenant of grace administered under the New Testament?
A. Under the New Testament, when Christ the substance was exhibited, the same covenant of grace was and still is to be administered in the preaching of the word, and the administration of the sacraments of baptism and the Lord's supper; in which grace and salvation are held forth in more fullness, evidence, and efficacy, to all nations.
6.5在今生，此败坏罪性仍存留在已蒙重生之人里面。虽然此败坏罪性，借着基督得赦免且被治死，但是此罪性与其所生发的一切活动，实在真是罪恶。
6.6每一个罪 (不论是原罪或本罪) 都是违犯上帝公义的律法，也是悖逆上帝的律法；因此，每一个罪按照其性质，招致罪究归在罪人身上。罪人因此缘故必定遭受上帝的忿怒与律法的咒诅，结果服在死权之下，遭受一切灵命的、今生的、永远的愁苦。
