罗五2　　我们又借着祂，因信得进入现在所站的这恩典中，并且因盼望神的荣耀而夸耀。

　　提后三15　　…你是从小明白圣经；这圣经能使你借着相信基督耶稣，有得救的智慧。

　　信使我们得称义，并割除我们的肉体，及其天然的能力与努力。这信也使我们进入神的恩典。我们若留在肉体及其天然的努力里，就不会认识，也不能享受神这恩典；但我们若因信而活，就要进入对神恩典完满的享受。

　　信首先带我们进入恩典，接着使我们坚定地站在恩典中。恩典乃是三一神自己经过种种过程，给我们进入并享受。…恩典是我们所站的范围。…当我们觉得自己已从恩典的范围迁入另一个领域，我们该祷告：“主，赦免我。将我带回恩典的范围。”我们回到恩典范围的路，与我们原初进入恩典的路一样，…〔就是〕借着本于信得称义。…神的称义将我们带进我们所站的这恩典中。每当我们行为不当，并觉得我们在恩典之外，我们就必须祷告：“主啊，赦免我。用你的宝血洁净我。”你若这样作，就会立即被带回恩典中（新约总论第十册，二七至二八页）。

　　Rom. 5:2 Through whom also we have obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand and boast because of the hope of the glory of God.

　　2 Tim. 3:15 …From a babe you have known the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise unto salvation through the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

　　The faith that justifies us and cuts off the flesh with its natural energy and effort also gives us access into God’s grace. If we remain in the flesh with its natural effort, we will neither know nor enjoy the grace of God, but if we live by faith, we will enter into the full enjoyment of God’s grace.

　　Faith first gives us access into grace, then a solid standing in grace. Grace is the Triune God Himself, processed that we may enter into Him and enjoy Him… Grace is the realm in which we stand… When we sense that we have moved from the realm of grace into another sphere, we should pray, “Lord, forgive me. Bring me back to the realm of grace.” We return to the realm of grace by the same way through which we entered it originally… through justification by faith. God’s justification brought us into this grace in which we stand. Whenever we act wrongly and sense that we are out of grace, we must pray: “O Lord, forgive me. Cleanse me with Your precious blood.” When we do this, we will be brought back to grace instantly. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, pp. 3036-3037)

　　我们相信神在基督里，曾用诸天界里各样属灵的福分，祝福了我们〔弗一3〕，但是，这些福分在哪里呢？弟兄姊妹们，所有的问题都在乎信，就是信神的话是真的（得胜的生命，一三九页）。

　　支取的意思就是：在乎平常的时候，就承认主所作的都已成功了，祂所成功的对于我必是有效力的；在遇试的时候，就实行出来，一若我是已经得着主所赐给我们的地位（事实）一样。这样，经历随后就到。…信徒灵性生活的经验，完全是根据于神为信徒所成功的事实。事实是根据，经验是成功，信心是程途。换一句话说，事实是因，信心是法，经验是果。…在信徒高深灵命的前面，乃是有主耶稣的完全工作为它的发源地。…要圣别，得胜，死己等等，并非用己力可以得着，乃是承认我在主耶稣基督里，是圣别的，得胜的，死己的；就实行出来，相信你自己因为与主耶稣是有生命上的联合的，所以你必是圣别，得胜，死己，一如主耶稣一样。我们所有要得着的经验，都是主耶稣所已经经过了的。信心支取的意思，就是算主耶稣所有的就是我的，并用信心的态度和行为，使用我所算为恩典的。

　　当我们相信神在圣经里所表明的事实，而用信心支取的时候，圣灵就将神在基督里所替我们成功的一切恩典，加在我们的身上，叫它们在我们的生命里成为实在，成为我们个人的经历。承认和支取的信心，开门叫圣灵作工，将主耶稣所成功的，加在我们的生命里，叫我们有实践的经验。圣灵的工作，都是根据神的事实。圣灵并不为我们成功什么事实，圣灵乃是将所已成功的，在我们的生命里显为实在、活泼的而已。神已经在主耶稣里成功了事实，我们应当用信心承认、支取这事实，倚靠圣灵，将神所成功的加在我们的生命里，叫我们有属灵的经历（倪柝声文集第一辑第一册，九四至九五页）。

　　There is no doubt that God has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ [Eph. 1:3]. But where are these blessings? Brothers and sisters, the main question hinges on faith; we have to believe that God’s Word is true. (CWWN, vol. 24, “The Overcoming Life,” p. 118)

　　The meaning of claiming is to acknowledge daily all that the Lord has accomplished for us, that is, to acknowledge that all these accomplishments are effective in us. Then, when temptation comes, we will live out these accomplishments as if we have already attained to the position (the fact) that the Lord has placed us in. If we do this, our experience will follow. The experience of the believers’ spiritual life is fully based on the facts that God has accomplished for them. The facts are the basis, the experience is the accomplishment, and faith is the process. In other words, the facts are the cause, faith is the way, and experience is the result… Before there can be any lofty spiritual life in the believers, there first must be the perfect work of the Lord Jesus as its wellspring… Sanctification, victory, death, and so forth do not come from self-effort. They come from: (1) acknowledging our sanctification, victory, and death to the self in the Lord Jesus Christ, and (2) practicing it by believing that one is joined to the Lord Jesus in life and that one will be as sanctified, victorious, and dead to the self as the Lord Jesus is. The Lord Jesus has already encountered every experience that we have and will have. To claim by faith is to reckon as ours all that the Lord Jesus has and to apply through an attitude and a conduct of faith all that we have counted as grace.

　　When we believe in God’s facts shown in the Bible and when we claim these facts, the Holy Spirit will apply to us all the graces that God has accomplished for us in Christ, making them real to us in our lives. In this way, they become our personal experiences. An acknowledging and claiming faith opens the door for the Holy Spirit to work and to apply in our lives all that the Lord Jesus has accomplished so that we will have the practical experience. The work of the Holy Spirit is based upon the facts of God. The Holy Spirit does not accomplish any fact for us; He only makes the things that have been accomplished real and living in our lives. God has accomplished all the facts in Christ. What we must do is acknowledge and claim these facts, trusting in the Holy Spirit to apply in our lives what God has accomplished so that we will have the spiritual experiences.
