我們的宣告 林後9:6-8「少種的少收，多種的多收」，這話是真的。各人要隨本心所酌定的，不要作難，不要勉強，因為捐得樂意的人是上帝所喜愛的。上帝能將各樣的恩惠多多地加給你們，使你們凡事常常充足，能多行各樣善事。 Remember: A stingy planter gets a stingy crop; a lavish planter gets a lavish crop. I want each of you to take plenty of time to think it over, and make up your own mind what you will give. That will protect you against sob stories and arm-twisting. God loves it when the giver delights in the giving. God can pour on the blessings in astonishing ways so that you’re ready for anything and everything, more than just ready to do what needs to be done. 今天是神向我顯明祂恩典的日子，我和我全家都是神恩典的大磁鐵。在我家裡，每一代神的恩典都不斷地增加，因為我是神恩典的好管家，所以神必在未來的日子繼續加添祂的恩典。那些靠近我的人也會變得和我一樣。阿門! Today is the day that God is going to show off His favor on me，my family and I are magnets of God’s favor. The favor in my family increases with each new generation，because I steward today‘s favor well, I am entrusted with more tomorrow. people are drawn to me and instinctively like me.

1.我們是被收納進入神的家
弗2:19 這樣，你們不再作外人和客旅，是與聖徒同國，是上帝家裏的人了。That’s plain enough, isn’t it? You’re no longer wandering exiles. This kingdom of faith is now your home country. You’re no longer strangers or outsiders. You belong here, with as much right to the name Christian as anyone. God is building a home.
●歸屬感：
●親切感：
●使命感：
徒2:44-47 信的人都在一處，凡物公用，並且賣了田產、家業，照各人所需用的分給各人。他們天天同心合意恆切地在殿裏，且在家中擘餅，存著歡喜、誠實的心用飯,讚美上帝，得眾民的喜愛。主將得救的人天天加給他們。And all the believers lived in a wonderful harmony, holding everything in common. They sold whatever they owned and pooled their resources so that each person’s need was met. They followed a daily discipline of worship in the Temple followed by meals at home, every meal a celebration, exuberant and joyful, as they praised God. People in general liked what they saw. Every day their number grew as God added those who were saved.
弗5:21 又當存敬畏基督的心，彼此順服。 Out of respect for Christ, be courteously reverent to one another.
加5:13 弟兄們，你們蒙召是要得自由，只是不可將你們的自由當作放縱情慾的機會，總要用愛心互相服事。因為全律法都包在「愛人如己」這一句話之內了。 It is absolutely clear that God has called you to a free life. Just make sure that you don’t use this freedom as an excuse to do whatever you want to do and destroy your freedom. Rather, use your freedom to serve one another in love; that’s how freedom grows. For everything we know about God’s Word is summed up in a single sentence: Love others as you love yourself. That’s an act of true freedom.
腓2:3-4 凡事不可結黨，不可貪圖虛浮的榮耀；只要存心謙卑，各人看別人比自己強。各人不要單顧自己的事，也要顧別人的事。Don’t push your way to the front; don’t sweet-talk your way to the top. Put yourself aside, and help others get ahead. Don’t be obsessed with getting your own advantage. Forget yourselves long enough to lend a helping hand.
3. 我會很刻意在信任的關係上有最大的成長
太18:15倘若你的弟兄得罪你，你就去，趁著只有他和你在一處的時候，指出他的錯來。他若聽你，你便得了你的弟兄。If a fellow believer hurts you, go and tell him—work it out between the two of you. If he listens, you’ve made a friend.
林前4:14 我寫這話，不是叫你們羞愧，乃是警戒你們，好像我所親愛的兒女一樣。I’m not writing all this as a neighborhood scold just to make you feel rotten. I’m writing as a father to you, my children. I love you and want you to grow up well, not spoiled. There are a lot of people around who can’t wait to tell you what you’ve done wrong, but there aren’t many fathers willing to take the time and
effort to help you grow up.
帖前5:14-15 我們又勸弟兄們，要警戒不守規矩的人，勉勵灰心的人，扶助軟弱的人，也要向眾人忍耐。你們要謹慎，無論是誰都不可以惡報惡；或是彼此相待，或是待眾人，常要追求良善。Gently encourage the stragglers, and reach out for the exhausted, pulling them to their feet. Be patient with each person, attentive to individual needs. And be careful that when you get on each other’s nerves you don’t snap at each other. Look for the best in each other, and always do your best to bring it out.
Live creatively, friends. If someone falls into sin, forgivingly restore him, saving your critical comments for yourself. You might be needing forgiveness before the day’s out. Stoop down and reach out to those who are oppressed. Share their burdens, and so complete Christ’s law.
詩5:11-12凡投靠你的，願他們喜樂，時常歡呼， 因為你護庇他們；又願那愛你名的人都靠你歡欣。因為你必賜福與義人；耶和華啊，你必用恩惠如同盾牌四面護衛他。 But let all who take refuge in you be glad;let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you. 12 Surely, Lord, you bless the righteous;you surround them with your favor as with a shield. 今天是神向我顯明祂恩典的日子，我和我的家都是神恩典的大磁鐵。在我家裡，每一代神的恩典都不斷地增加，因為我是神恩典的好管家，所以神必在未來的日子繼續加添祂的恩典。那些靠近我的人也會變得和我一樣。阿門! Today is the day that God is going to show off His favor on me，my family and I are magnets of God’s favor. The favor in my family increases with each new generation，because I steward today‘s favor well, I am entrusted with more tomorrow. people are drawn to me and instinctively like me.
羅4:4做工的得工價，不算恩典，乃是該得的. 惟有不做工的，只信稱罪人為義的上帝，他的信就算為義。If you’re a hard worker and do a good job, you deserve your pay; we don’t call your wages a gift. But if you see that the job is too big for you, that it’s something only God can do, and you trust him to do it—you could never do it for yourself no matter how hard and long you worked—well, that trusting-him-to-do-it is what gets you et right with God, by God. Sheer gift.
羅11:6既是出於恩典，就不在乎行為；不然，恩典就不是恩典了。既是出於恩典，就不在乎行為；不然，恩典就不是恩典了。But if it is by grace (His unmerited favor and graciousness), it is no longer conditioned on works or anything men have done. Otherwise, grace would no longer be grace [it would be meaningless].

1.我們有一位好的天父
太7:11你們雖然不好，尚且知道拿好東西給兒女，何況你們在天上的父，豈不更把好東西給求他的人嗎？As bad as you are, you wouldn’t think of such a thing. You’re at least decent to your own children. So don’t you think the God who conceived you in love will be even better?
雅1:17各樣美善的恩賜和各樣全備的賞賜都是從上頭來的，從眾光之父那裏降下來的；在他並沒有改變，也沒有轉動的影兒。Every desirable and beneficial gift comes out of heaven. The gifts are rivers of light cascading down from the Father of Light. There is nothing deceitful in God, nothing two-faced, nothing fickle.
2.耶穌就是天父所賜的恩典
約1:14道成了肉身，住在我們中間，充充滿滿地有恩典有真理。我們也見過他的榮光，正是父獨生子的榮光。The Word became flesh and blood, and moved into the neighborhood. We saw the glory with our own eyes, the one-of-a-kind glory, like Father, like Son, Generous inside and out, true from start to finish
約1:16-17從他豐滿的恩典裏，我們都領受了，而且恩上加恩。律法本是藉著摩西傳的；恩典和真理都是由耶穌基督來的。We all live off his generous bounty, gift after gift after gift. We got the basics from Moses, and then this exuberant giving and receiving, This endless knowing and understanding—all this came through Jesus, the Messiah.
弗1:6使他榮耀的恩典得著稱讚；這恩典是他在愛子裏所賜給我們的。long ago he decided to adopt us into his family through Jesus Christ. (What pleasure he took in planning this!) He wanted us to enter into the celebration of his lavish gift-giving by the hand of his beloved Son.
提後1:9上帝救了我們，以聖召召我們，不是按我們的行為，乃是按他的旨意和恩典；這恩典是萬古之先，在基督耶穌裏賜給我們的.We can only keep on going, after all, by the power of God, who first saved us and then called us to this holy work. We had nothing to do with it. It was all his idea, a gift prepared for us in Jesus long before we knew anything about it. But we know it now. Since the appearance of our Savior.
3.恩典的內容: 因信稱義.
羅3:24-25如今卻蒙上帝的恩典，因基督耶穌的救贖，就白白地稱義。上帝設立耶穌作挽回祭，是憑著耶穌的血，藉著人的信，要顯明上帝的義；因為他用忍耐的心寬容人先時所犯的罪.God sacrificed Jesus on the altar of the world to clear that world of sin. Having faith in him sets us in the clear. God decided on this course of action in full view of the public—to set the world in the clear with himself through the sacrifice of Jesus, finally taking care of the sins he had so patiently endured.
羅3:27-28既是這樣，哪裏能誇口呢？沒有可誇的了。用何法沒有的呢？是用立功之法嗎？不是，乃用信主之法。所以(有古卷：因為)我們看定了：人稱義是因著信，不在乎遵行律法。God does not respond to what we do; we respond to what God does. We’ve finally figured it out. Our lives get in step with God and all others by letting him set the pace, not by proudly or anxiously trying to run the parade
多3:7好叫我們因他的恩得稱為義，可以憑著永生的盼望成為後嗣(或譯:可以憑著盼望承受永生)Our Savior Jesus poured out new life so generously. God’s gift has restored our relationship with him and given us back our lives. And there’s more life to come—an eternity of life! You can count on this.
4.恩典所帶來的祝福:
a.使貧窮的變為富足
林後8:9你們知道我們主耶穌基督的恩典：他本來富足，卻為你們成了貧窮，叫你們因他的貧窮，可以成為富足。 You are familiar with the generosity of our Master, Jesus Christ. Rich as he was, he gave it all away for us—in one stroke he became poor and we became rich.
b.使軟弱的變為剛強
林後12:9他對我說：「我的恩典夠你用的，因為我的能力是在人的軟弱上顯得完全。」所以，我更喜歡誇自己的軟弱，好叫基督的能力覆庇我。Three times I did that, and then he told me, My grace is enough; it’s all you need. My strength comes into its own in your weakness.
c.使絕望的變為盼望
羅5:2我們又藉著他，因信得進入現在所站的這恩典中，並且歡歡喜喜盼望上帝的榮耀。We find ourselves standing where we always hoped we might stand—out in the wide open spaces of God’s grace and glory, standing tall and shouting our praise.
