“Ultimately, we’re redeemed not because of our worthiness but because of the worthiness of Christ. God is gracious to me in order to reward One who does deserve a reward—His only begotten Son. Do you see the intersection here of grace and justice? It is right or just that Christ should receive an inheritance, and we are that inheritance. That we are that inheritance is grace for us and justice for Christ.”

最终，我们被救赎不是因为我们配得，而是因为基督配得。 上帝恩待我们是为了奖赏那位值得奖赏的——祂的独生子。 你看到 “恩典” 与 “公义” 的交叉点了吗：基督承受基业是应当的（公义的、公正的），而我们就是那产业。换句话说，我们成为基督的产业，对我们来说是恩典，而对基督来说是公正。

“Unconfessed sin doesn’t break our union with God,
but it breaks our fellowship with God.
基督徒没有认的罪不会断绝我们与神的联合，
但会阻隔我们与神的交通。

“Unconfessed sin doesn’t cause us to lose our salvation,
but it may hinder the joy or assurance of our salvation.
没有认的罪不会使我们失去救恩，
但可使我们失去救恩之乐和平安。

“Unconfessed sin doesn’t cause us to lose the indwelling of the Spirit, but we may lose the comfort and the power of the Spirit.
没有认的罪不会使我们失去圣灵的内住，
但可使我们失去圣灵的安慰和能力。”

“Readiness to die is the first step in learning to live.”
“准备好死亡是学习生活的第一步。” — J. I. Packer 巴刻

想得到什么样的结果 = 就活出什么样的过程

想到在天上如何面对主耶稣和众圣徒，就知道今天如何在地上生活。

Readiness to live in the heaven is the first step in learning to live on the earth.
