保罗用自己的经历给我们极深的劝勉、鼓励与安慰,他要我们知道,神是那位全能、丰盛、信实的主。Paul shares from his own life, giving us strong encouragement, comfort, and a heartfelt reminder. He wants us to know that our God is almighty, full, and faithful.祂所加给我们的“恩惠”,就是祂白白赐下的“恩典”。The “favour” He pours out is His free “grace.”这是我们本不配得的,却因耶稣基督的救赎而得着。It’s not something we could ever earn, but something we’ve received through Jesus Christ’s redemption.神的恩典包括了属灵的祝福,也包括日常生活中各种资源的恩惠供应,使我们在一切事上都不缺乏。God’s grace covers spiritual blessing and also the practical provision we need for daily living, so that in every way we don’t go without.
神的恩惠是丰盛而完全的,祂是慷慨的神。God’s favour is rich and complete — He’s a generous God.无论在什么环境中,祂施恩的法则始终不变:Whatever the circumstances, His way of giving grace never changes.祂不仅以恩典赦免我们的罪,除去罪的捆绑,坚固我们的信心,使我们因信称义,By His grace He forgives our sins, breaks sin’s chains, strengthens our faith, and makes us right by faith.并且不断施恩与我们,经历祂更大的祝福与丰盛,本于信以至于信,属灵的生命日益丰盛。And He keeps on giving grace, so we taste more blessing, more richness, and see our spiritual lives grow steadily from faith to faith.
恩惠不仅是关乎我们的属灵福分,也具体体现在我们日常生活的供应上。Grace isn’t just about spiritual things, but is shown in the way God provides for everyday life.过去我在罪中,常常活在亏欠与无力里,心灵空虚,行为受捆,无法真正行善。Back when I lived in sin, I was weighed down with guilt and weakness, my heart was empty, and my actions chained — I couldn’t truly do good.但当恩惠临到,如同春雨来临,生命便得着翻转。But when His grace came, it was like spring rain falling — my life was turned around.我从干旱与缺乏进入充足,心被神的爱滋润,从被动转为主动,从只顾自己到能顾念他人。I went from drought and lack to sufficiency, my heart softened and refreshed by God’s love. I shifted from passive to active, from only thinking of myself to genuinely caring about others.我不再只是渴望被爱,也不再惧怕跌倒、人言、藐视或拒绝,而是能够主动去爱别人;I stopped just craving love, or fearing failure, criticism, scorn, or rejection. Instead, I began to love others first.我不再忧虑资源不够,而是经历祂在凡事上的供应,因此有力量去慷慨施予,行各样的善事。I stopped worrying about not having enough, because I experienced His provision in all things. And with that, I had strength to give generously and do all sorts of good.靠着神丰盛的恩惠,我可以勇敢向前。By God’s abundant grace, I can step forward with courage.
主啊,我赞美你,你的恩惠使我不但得蒙拯救,更能活出丰盛的生命。Lord, I praise You — Your favour not only rescued me, but now helps me live a full and abundant life.你应许,使我们凡事常常充足,因着信你的恩惠,足以去行各样的善事。You’ve promised that we’ll have all we need, and that Your grace will be enough for us to do every good work.奉献不是出于勉强,而是出于感恩,因为我们能奉献的一切,都不是出于自己,而是全然来自你所赐的恩惠。Giving isn’t meant to be pressured — it comes out of gratitude. Everything I can give doesn’t come from me, but from what You’ve freely given.何等恩惠,你带领我们进入你那流奶与蜜的丰盛之地,测不透的神的丰盛恩惠之处--耶稣基督。What amazing grace! You lead us into a land flowing with milk and honey, into the unsearchable riches of Your grace in Jesus Christ.使我们在圣灵里多结果子,成为你祝福的器皿与恩惠的见证人。So that in the Spirit we bear much fruit, becoming vessels of Your blessing and witnesses of Your grace.
