弗二7　　好在要来的诸世代中，显示祂在基督耶稣里，向我们所施恩慈中恩典超越的丰富。

　　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。

　　神的恩是极其重大的事。……我们若要领会新约里所启示神的恩是什么，就需要对全本新约有清楚的看见（新约总论第一册，一一九页）。

　　新约是神恩典的历史，而恩典乃是化身的三一神。第一步，三一神借着由童女而生，成为一个在肉体里的人，作那来到人中间的恩典，为着完成救赎。第二步，末后的亚当，就是三一神的具体化身，借着祂的死与复活，成了赐生命的灵，作那进到人里面的恩典，为着将经过过程并终极完成的三一神分赐到信徒里面，作基督身体的源头、元素和素质，这基督的身体要终极完成于新耶路撒冷，在永世里作经过过程并终极完成之三一神荣耀的扩大和彰显（李文集一九九四至一九九七年第一册，五八八页）。

　　Eph. 2:7 That He might display in the ages to come the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

　　1 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.

　　The grace of God is a matter of tremendous significance… If we would understand what the grace of God is as revealed in the New Testament, we need a clear view of the New Testament as a whole. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, p. 102)

　　The New Testament is a history of God’s grace, and grace is the incarnated Triune God. In the first step the Triune God became a man in the flesh through His birth by a human virgin as grace coming to be among men for the accomplishment of redemption. In the second step the last Adam, as the embodiment of the Triune God, became the life-giving Spirit through His death and resurrection as grace entering into man for the impartation of the processed and consummated Triune God into the believers, to be the source, element, and essence of the Body of Christ, which will consummate in the New Jerusalem as the glorious enlargement and expression of the processed and consummated Triune God in eternity. (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 1, “Crystallization-study of the Epistle to the Romans,” pp. 463-464)

　　我年轻时受教导，恩典的意思是我们不作什么，让神为我们作一切。按这教导，我们所作的任何事都是工作，不是恩典；而神为我们所作的，都是恩典。然而，按新约看，恩典实际上是神之于我们的所是，作我们的享受（约一16~17，林后十二9）。恩典实际上是神在基督里分赐到我们这人里面，在我们的经历中作我们的享受。恩典主要不是神为我们作的工作；恩典乃是三一神自己分赐到我们这人里面，给我们经历，作我们的享受。简单地说，恩典就是三一神给我们经历并享受。新约启示，恩典一点不差就是神在基督里分赐到我们这人里面，作我们的享受。

　　约翰一章十七节说，恩典是借着耶稣基督来的。这指明恩典多少像一个人位。恩典的人位化就是神自己。保罗领悟这点，他说，“这不是我，乃是神的恩与我同在。”（林前十五10）对保罗而言，恩典是活的人位。在保罗身上，这人位成了他借以劳苦的恩典。因此，恩典就是神自己；是神之于我们的所是作我们的享受。神给我们享受时，那就是恩典。恩典就是这位神在祂的儿子耶稣基督里，成为我们的分，使我们享受祂的一切所是。

　　我们需要强调这事实，恩典乃是神作我们的享受。神成为我们的分，给我们享受，那就是恩典。不要认为恩典是少于神的什么。恩典一点不差就是三一神实际给我们享受，作我们的分。恩典不是道理上的神，乃是我们经历中的神，因为恩典就是神在基督里带着祂的一切所是，作我们的享受。这包括生命、力量、安慰、安息、亮光、公义、圣别、能力和其他神圣的属性。我们享受神并有分于祂，那就是恩典（新约总论第一册，一一九至一二○页）。

　　神在完成祂永远经纶的事上，乃开始于祂成为肉体，来成了一个人，作信徒的恩典。因此，恩典乃是三一神在祂的成为肉体里，由作源头的父、作元素的子以及作应用的那灵（林后十三14），分赐给信徒（李文集一九九四至一九九七年第一册，五○七页）。

　　参读：新约总论，第十篇。

　　When I was young, I was taught that grace means that we do nothing and that God does everything for us. According to this teaching, anything we do is work, not grace, but whatever God does for us is grace. However, according to the New Testament, grace is actually what God is to us for our enjoyment (John 1:16-17; 2 Cor. 12:9). Grace is actually God in Christ dispensed into our being for our enjoyment in our experience.

　　Grace is mainly not the work God does for us; grace is the Triune God Himself dispensed into our being and experienced as our enjoyment. In brief, grace is the Triune God experienced and enjoyed by us. The New Testament reveals that grace is nothing less than God in Christ dispensed into our being for our enjoyment.

　　John 1:17 says that grace came through Jesus Christ. This indicates that grace is somewhat like a person. The personification of grace is God Himself. Paul realized this when he said, “Not I, but the grace of God…with me” (1 Cor. 15:10). For Paul, grace was a living person. In Paul this person became the very grace by which he labored. Therefore, grace is God Himself; it is what God is to us for our enjoyment. When God is enjoyed by us, that is grace. Grace is the very God in His Son Jesus Christ to be our portion so that we may enjoy all He is.

　　We need to emphasize the fact that grace is God as our enjoyment. When God becomes our portion for us to enjoy, that is grace. Do not consider grace as something less than God. Grace is nothing less than the Triune God enjoyed by us in a practical way as our portion. Grace is God not in doctrine, but in our experience, for grace is God in Christ with all He is for our enjoyment. This includes life, strength, comfort, rest, light, righteousness, holiness, power, and the other divine attributes. When we enjoy God and participate in Him, that is grace. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, pp. 102-103)

　　In the accomplishment of His eternal economy, God commenced it in His incarnation by coming to be a man as the grace to the believers. God came in the way of incarnation to us as grace. Hence, grace is the Triune God in His incarnation to be dispensed to the believers by the Father as the source, by the Son as the element, and by the Spirit as the application (2 Cor. 13:14). (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 1, “Crystallization-study of the Epistle to the Romans,” p. 403)
