Outline
1壹 以撒是享受神恩典,使神喜悦的模型、榜样—创二四36,二五5,二六3~4、12~33,罗五1~2,徒四33,十一23:
1I. Isaac is a model, a pattern, of the enjoyment of God's grace for God's good pleasure—Gen. 24:36; 25:5; 26:3-4, 12-33; Rom. 5:1-2; Acts 4:33; 11:23:
2一 恩典是神在基督里作为那灵,作到我们这人里面给我们享受,对我们成为一切,并在我们里面、借着我们且为我们作一切事,好使祂能成为我们这人的构成成分,为着建造基督的身体,终极完成新耶路撒冷—约一16~17,来十29下,林前十五10,参加二20,林后十三14。
2A. Grace is God in Christ as the Spirit wrought into our being for our enjoyment to be everything to us and to do everything in us, through us, and for us so that He can become the constituent of our being for the building up of the Body of Christ to consummate the New Jerusalem—John 1:16-17; Heb. 10:29b; 1 Cor. 15:10; cf. Gal. 2:20; 2 Cor. 13:14.
3二 享受神的恩典乃是我们的定命,这定命是在创立世界以前所预先定下的—弗一3~6,二7。
3B. It is our destiny to enjoy the grace of God; this destiny was preordained before the foundation of the world—Eph. 1:3-6; 2:7.

4创二五5 亚伯拉罕将一切所有的都给了以撒。
4Gen. 25:5 And Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac.
5二六12 以撒……撒种,那一年有百倍的收成。耶和华赐福给他。
526:12 And Isaac sowed…and gained in the same year a hundredfold. And Jehovah blessed him.
6林前十五10 然而因着神的恩,我成了我今天这个人,并且神的恩临到我,不是徒然的;反而我比众使徒格外劳苦,但这不是我,乃是神的恩与我同在。
61 Cor. 15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am; and His grace unto me did not turn out to be in vain, but, on the contrary, I labored more abundantly than all of them, yet not I but the grace of God which is with me.
7整本圣经里几乎没有另一个人像以撒那样享受恩典。他终其一生不作别的,只享受神的恩典。他的一生就是享受恩典的一生。然而在以撒身上,我们看到与亚伯拉罕完全一样的天然弱点。不仅如此,在以撒身上我们也看到雅各的天然生命。
7In the whole Bible there is hardly another person who enjoyed grace as much as Isaac did. Throughout his entire life Isaac did nothing except enjoy the grace of God. His life was a grace-enjoying life. Nevertheless, in Isaac we see exactly the same natural weakness as we saw in Abraham. Furthermore, in Isaac we also see the natural life of Jacob.
8以撒是一个享受恩典的人。照我们天然的观念,一个有天然弱点,且活在天然生命里的人,绝不能享受神的恩典。这是我们的观念,这不是神的话。在圣经里,我们看不到以撒很属灵。他是一个仍有天然弱点,仍活在天然生命里的人。那么为什么他这样享受神的恩典?只因神已这样命定。对我们基督徒来说,有神命定的一面(创世记生命读经,一〇二三至一〇二四页)。
8Isaac was a grace-enjoying person. According to our natural concept, a person who has a natural weakness and who lives in the natural life can never enjoy the grace of God. This is our concept; it is not God’s word. In the Bible we cannot see that Isaac was very spiritual. He was a man who still had a natural weakness and who still lived in the natural life. Why then did he have such an enjoyment of God’s grace? He had such an enjoyment simply because God had ordained it that way. With us Christians, there is the aspect of God’s ordination. (Life-study of Genesis, pp. 841-842)

9享受神的恩典乃是我们的定命,这定命是在创立世界以前所预先定下的。不要以为你若属灵,就有特权享受神的恩典;你若不属灵,就不能享受祂的恩典。这是宗教观念,圣经并没有这样教训。有人听说享受恩典不根据属灵,也许会说,“我们享受神的恩典若不需要属灵,那么就让我们不属灵吧!”不要这样说。属灵不属灵都不会帮助我们享受神的恩典,这完全是神的命定,并不在于我们的所是和所能。……我们已经被神命定来享受恩典。……不要浪费时间想要属灵或不属灵,只要说,“主啊,因着你的命定我敬拜你。你已经命定我来享受恩典。”至少我们都是以撒的一部分,在我们里面有一面已经被神命定来享受祂的恩典。
9It is our destiny to enjoy the grace of God. This destiny was preordained before the foundation of the world. Do not think that if you are spiritual, you are privileged to enjoy God’s grace and that if you are not spiritual, you cannot enjoy His grace. This is a religious concept, and the Bible does not teach this. After hearing that enjoying grace does not depend upon our being spiritual, some may say, “If we don’t need to be spiritual to enjoy God’s grace, then let us be unspiritual.” Do not say this. Neither being spiritual nor being unspiritual will help us to enjoy God’s grace. It is entirely a matter of God’s ordination, and it does not depend on what we are or on what we can do… We have been ordained by God to the enjoyment of grace…Do not waste your time trying to be spiritual or trying to be unspiritual. Simply say, “O Lord, I worship You for Your ordination. You have ordained me to the enjoyment of grace.” At the least, we all are a part of Isaac. In our being, there is the aspect of having been ordained by God to the enjoyment of His grace.
10恩典的事历年来被隐藏、封闭、遮蔽着。……恩典是神的一些东西作到我们里面,在我们里面工作,也为我们工作。这不是外面的事。恩典是神在基督里作到我们里面,为我们生活、工作并行事。保罗在林前十五10……〔的〕话相当深奥。保罗不是说,“因着神的恩,我有了我所有的。因着神的恩,我有了好车子、好职业、好妻子。”他甚至也不是说,“因着神的恩,我作了我所作的。”这不在于作什么、得什么或行什么;这完全在于是什么。因此保罗说,“因着神的恩,我成了我今天这个人。”这意思就是,神的恩作到他里面,使他成了那样的人。在加二20保罗说,“不再是我,乃是基督在我里面活着。”我们若把这一节和林前十五10放在一起,就看见恩典就是活在我们里面的基督。“这不是我,乃是神的恩。”“不再是我,乃是基督。”恩典不在我们外面,也不在我们旁边。恩典乃是一位神圣的人物,就是神自己在基督里,作到我们里面,成为我们的构成成分。因着缺少启示,基督徒误会并误解了恩典,以为恩典是外面的东西。但恩典乃是那位三一神作到我们里面,使我们成为所该是的,并且为我们生活、工作、行事,使我们能说,“因着神的恩,我成了我今天这个人。这不是我,乃是神的恩典。”(创世记生命读经,一○二四至一○二五、九九八至九九九页)
10The matter of grace has been hidden, concealed, and veiled throughout the years…Grace is something of God that is wrought into our being and that works in us and does things for us. It is nothing outward. Grace is God in Christ wrought into our being to live, work, and do things for us… [Paul’s word in 1 Corinthians 15:10] is quite deep. Paul did not say, “By the grace of God I have what I have. I have a good car, a good job, and a good wife by the grace of God.” He did not even say, “By the grace of God I do what I do.” It is not a matter of doing, having, or working; it is absolutely a matter of being. Hence, Paul says, “By the grace of God I am what I am.” This means that the very grace of God had been wrought into his being, making him that kind of person. In Galatians 2:20 Paul says, “It is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me.” If we put this verse together with 1 Corinthians 15:10, we see that grace is simply Christ living in us. It is “not I but the grace of God,” “no longer I but Christ.” Grace is not outside of us or beside us. It is a divine person, God Himself in Christ, wrought into our being to be the constituent of our being. Because of the lack of revelation, Christians have misunderstood and misinterpreted grace, thinking of it as something outside of them. But grace is just the Triune God wrought into our being to be what we should be and to live, work, and do things for us so that we may say, “I am what I am by the grace of God. It is not I but the grace of God.” (Life-study of Genesis, pp. 842-843, 822-823)
