GRACE - and Salvation | 恩典 - 與救恩 |
Grace is especially associated with men in their
sins; mercy is usually associated with men in their misery. 恩典特別與犯罪中的人有關聯;憐憫通常與處於困境中的人有關聯。 |
The grace of God does not
find men fit for salvation, but makes them so. Augustine 上帝恩典不在尋找配得恩典之人,而是使人配得恩典。 |
God's grace can save souls without preaching; but
all the preaching in the world cannot save souls without God's grace. Benjamin Beddome 上帝的恩典不需宣講而能拯救失喪靈魂;但人世一切宣講缺少上帝恩典則未能拯救靈魂。 |
Man does not 'secure' the
grace of God; the grace of God 'secures' the activities of man. Benjamin B. Warfield 人不能「確保」神的恩典;神的恩典「確保」了人的氣息存留。 |
