结语 神 赐 予我 们 的恩典，在于 祂 借着耶 稣 基督的仆人 传扬 福音，使我 们 能因信主耶 稣 基督而 称 义 。 换 言之，我 们 唯 独 因信耶 稣 而得 称 为义 。如今我 们既属 于基督耶 稣 ，便不再 处 于神的震怒或 审 判之下，而是活在 祂 那不可 动摇 的 爱 中—— 这爱 已 浇 灌在我 们 的心里。因此，我 们 成了 爱 神的人，也成了彼此相 爱 、彼此接 纳并乐 于分享 与 关 怀 的人。 简 而言之，我 们 已成 为 一 个 充 满 主 爱 的群体。 借着主耶 稣 基督在十字架上的死，我 们 罪得赦免；借着 祂 的 复 活，我 们 在神面前被算 为义 。我 们 因此蒙受了 极 大的福分， 获 得了救恩 与 永生。 这 救恩是源于耶 稣 基督恩典的 礼 物，也是至高无上的 礼 物。作 为这 至高 礼 物的 领 受者，我 们 必 须 活出合乎主心意的生命。我 们 要 怀 着 对 救恩之恩的感恩之心敬拜神， 并 经历 生命的更新 与 改 变 。我 们 要 将 自己的意愿放下在十字架前，同心 寻 求主的旨意， 并 按此旨意生活；我 们 要 过 一 种 蒙神喜 悦与悦 纳 的事奉生活。 我 们 都是蒙恩的 债户 ，因此必 须顺 服主的主 权 ，活出 为 神 结 果子的生命。我 们 要勇敢 传扬 福音 与 信心的信息，毫不羞愧。神若 帮 助我 们 ， 谁 能 敌挡 我 们 呢？我 们既 是 真 正的基督徒，就必 须 追求 灵 命的成熟。我 们 要凭信心生活——那是一 种 在看似毫无指望 时 仍存盼望的信心。在 属灵争 战 中，我 们 要 过 得 胜 的生活， 坚 信凡在基督里的人就不被定罪 这 一 真 理。愿我 们 都能活出 与 福音相 称 的生命。
In our sight, there was
nothing about Jesus that would attract us to him.
“For He grew up before Him like a tender shoot, And like a root
out of parched ground; He has no stately form or majesty That we should look
upon Him, Nor appearance that we should be attracted to Him"
(Isaiah 53:2).
To us, Jesus appeared without elegance or majesty; nothing about his appearance made him desirable. In today's terms, we might say Jesus lacked any charm, so we paid him no attention. But this was only in our sight. How then does Father God see Jesus?
In Father God's sight, Jesus is beautiful. Why is Jesus beautiful to God? Because Jesus obeyed God's will, even to the point of dying on the cross (Philippians 2:8). Therefore, the obedient Son, Jesus, is beautiful in the eyes of God the Father.
The beauty of Jesus' disciples lies in obeying the Lord's words. Though we may appear weak and lacking in worldly charm, our beauty before God lies in our obedience to the Lord's words. Even as we face
persecution in this world, like Jesus, we can draw strength from God's comfort, living in obedience to His will. Although outwardly we may not seem appealing to the world, as disciples of Jesus, we should pursue inner beauty. Apostle Peter admonishes in 1 Peter 3:3-4, "Don’t be concerned about the outward
beauty of fancy hairstyles, expensive jewelry, or beautiful clothes. You should clothe yourselves instead with the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God."
May we cultivate the inner person of great value before God, striving to be beautiful in His sight through
obedience.
