加二16　且知道人得称义，不是本于行律法，乃是借着信耶稣基督，连我们也信入了基督耶稣，使我们本于信基督得称义，不是本于行律法……。

　　徒十三38~39　……赦罪是借这人传给你们的。在一切你们靠摩西的律法不得称义的事上，靠这人，凡信的就都得称义了。

　　一年过一年，我们能无穷尽地说神的话，这实在是对我们作怜悯的基督。这不是我们的能力或恩赐，这全是怜悯。不仅说神的话是怜悯，甚至亲爱的救主就是我们的说话。我们的说话就是基督；对我们而言，这说话的基督乃是怜悯。虽然我们说话的口才也许不好，但这说话满了基督。这完全是由于我们说神的话时，基督对我们乃是怜悯（新约总论第九册，二八五页）。

　　Gal. 2:16 And knowing that a man is not justified out of works of law, but through faith in Jesus Christ, we also have believed into Christ Jesus that we might be justified out of faith in Christ and not out of the works of law...

　　Acts 13:38-39 ...Through this One forgiveness of sins is announced to you; and from all the things from which you were not able to be justified by the law of Moses, in this One everyone who believes is justified.

　　Our speaking the word of God year after year inexhaustibly is certainly Christ as a mercy to us. This is not a matter of our ability or gift. It is altogether a matter of mercy. Not only is it a mercy for us to speak the word of God, but even the dear Savior is our speaking. Our speaking is Christ, and to us this speaking Christ is a mercy. Though our speaking may not be eloquent, our speaking may be full of Christ. This is wholly due to Christ being a mercy to us in speaking the word of God. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, p. 2997)

　　我们都需要看见，复活的基督是那一切圣的、可靠的事物，成为神给我们的怜悯，作为包罗万有的恩赐。这是保罗在行传十三章所传讲的基督。保罗在他的福音信息里，不仅根据旧约传讲基督，也传讲复活的基督是那圣的，那可靠的。实际上，保罗在这里传福音时所宣扬的，需要他写的一切书信来解释。所以，我们若要更多看见基督是那圣的，那可靠的，就需要研读保罗的十四封书信。保罗在他的传讲里立了一个绝佳的榜样，给我们今天传福音时有所跟从。我们需要像保罗一样丰富且拔高地传讲基督。

　　保罗在行传十三章三十八至三十九节接着说，“所以诸位，弟兄们，你们当晓得，赦罪是借这人传给你们的。在一切你们靠摩西的律法不得称义的事上，靠这人，凡信的就都得称义了。”罪得赦免（38）是消极的，使我们从定罪得释放；得称义（39）是积极的，使我们与神和好，蒙神悦纳。

　　保罗在三十八至三十九节都说到“这人”。这人是谁？祂就是那已经复活成为神长子的一位，是我们的救主，也是那许多圣的、可靠的事物。所以，借着这一位，就是那圣的并可靠的，对我们作神的怜悯，我们就蒙赦免并得称义。借着这位长子，救主，那圣的并可靠的，赦罪已经传给我们。借着这一位，我们在一切靠摩西的律法不得称义的事上，就都得称义了。

　　我们靠着得赦免并称义的那一位，不仅是我们的救主，祂自己就是我们的赦免和称义。赦免和称义都是从神给我们的怜悯，这些怜悯是复活基督的各方面。……绝不要认为赦免和称义与基督是分开的。赦免和称义都是基督自己，作神给我们之怜悯的各方面，这些怜悯就是那圣的、可靠的。赦免和称义必定是神的恩赐，也必然是那圣的、可靠的。我们若有这种领会，就会看见赦免和称义不是凡俗的，乃是圣别的。不仅如此，这些乃是信实、确定、可靠的。这是保罗在十三章对基督是神长子的传讲；借着他的传讲，许多人得救了。

　　我们在三十二至三十九节看见，基督是神的长子，祂是神给祖宗的应许，并且神在复活里将祂生为祂的长子。祂是神的长子，是大卫那圣的，那可靠的。赦罪是借这一位传给人的，凡信祂的，就在一切事上得了称义（新约总论第九册，二八五至二八七、二八○页）。

　　We all need to see that the resurrected Christ is all the holy and faithful things as mercies given to us by God as an all-inclusive gift. This was the Christ preached by Paul in Acts 13. Paul, in his gospel message, not only preached Christ from the Old Testament, but also preached the resurrected Christ as the holy and faithful things. Actually, what Paul proclaimed here in his preaching of the gospel requires all the Epistles written by him for its definition. Therefore, if we want to see more concerning Christ as the holy and faithful things, we need to study the fourteen Epistles of Paul. In his preaching Paul set up an excellent pattern for us to follow in our gospel preaching today. Like Paul, we need to preach Christ in a rich and uplifted way.

　　In Acts 13:38 and 39 Paul goes on to say, "...Men, brothers,...through this One forgiveness of sins is announced to you; and from all the things from which you were not able to be justified by the law of Moses, in this One everyone who believes is justified."

　　To be forgiven of sins (v. 38) is on the negative side and is for our release from condemnation. To be justified (v. 39) is on the positive side and is for our reconciliation to God and acceptance by Him.

　　In both verse 38 and verse 39 Paul speaks of "this One." Who is this One? This is the One who has been resurrected to be God's firstborn Son, our Savior, and the many holy and faithful things. Therefore, through the One who is the holy and faithful things as God's mercies to us, we are forgiven and justified. Through the One who is the firstborn Son, the Savior, and the holy and faithful things, forgiveness of sins has been announced to us. And through this One we are justified from all the things from which we could not be justified by the law of Moses.

　　The One by whom we are forgiven and justified is not only our Savior; He Himself is our forgiveness and justification. Both forgiveness and justification are mercies from God to us, and these mercies are aspects of the resurrected Christ....Never consider forgiveness and justification as something apart from Christ. Both forgiveness and justification are aspects of Christ Himself as mercies from God to us, and these mercies are holy and faithful things. To be sure, forgiveness and justification are gifts of God, and they certainly are holy and faithful things. If we have this understanding, we shall see that forgiveness and justification are not common. Rather, they are holy. Furthermore, they are faithful, sure, trustworthy. This is Paul's preaching of Christ as the Firstborn of God in Acts 13, through which many were saved.

　　In Acts 13:32-39 we see Christ as the Firstborn of God, who was promised to the fathers and was begotten by God in resurrection to be His Firstborn. As the Firstborn of God, He is the holy and faithful things of David. Through such a One, forgiveness of sins is announced, and whoever believes in Him is justified from all things. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, pp. 2997-2999, 2993)
