GRACE - Essence | 恩典 - 本質 |
Sin and grace are like two buckets at a well; when
on is up the other is down. Thomas Brooks 罪與恩典就像是井中的吊桶;當一個吊桶上來時,另一個就下降。 |
Grace...turns lions into
lambs, wolves into sheep, monsters into men and men into angels. Thomas Brooks 恩典使猛獅變成綿羊,豺狼變成馴羊,怪獸變成人類,而人則變成天使。 |
Grace...turns counters into gold, pebbles into
pearls, sickness into health, weakness into strength and wants into abundance. Thomas Brooks 恩典使塑膠籌碼變金幣,鵝卵石變成珍珠,病痛變成健壯,軟弱變剛強,而窮乏的則變成豐富。 |
Grace is the freeness of
love. Thomas Goodwin 恩典是在愛中得自由。 |
The doctrines of grace humble a man without
degrading him, and exalt him without inflating him. Charles Hodge 恩典的信仰讓人謙卑卻不被貶低,使人高升卻不自我膨脹。 |
From what the Bible says it
seems to me that we shall not know the full explanation of grace even in heaven. William Gurnall 從聖經教導看來,我們縱使到了天上也無法知曉恩典的完全解釋。 |
Grace is not native but donative. William Jenkyn 恩典不是與生具有,而是白白得來。 |
No one can know the true
grace of God who has not first known the fear of God. A. W. Tozer 若非首先明白敬畏上帝,無人能知曉上帝真正的恩典。 |
There is no reason to be given for grace but grace. Martin Luther 除了恩典之外,實在沒有賜予恩典的理由。 |
