I. The grace of faith, whereby the elect are enabled to believe to the savin

倘若大丈夫不能力挽千钧，除暴安良，那就应该像约翰纽曼这样勇于追求真理，有着“

了，但是英国依旧普遍充斥着对天主教有强烈反感。纽曼的皈依之旅是非常坎坷的。他

对于信仰的执着追求依旧带来了一系列的成果。他学问渊博，可以深刻讨论理性、情感

发帖数: 5754 | 39 Chapter 1.7 Overcoming The Accuser
In view of what we have said we can now turn to face the enemy, for there is
a further aspect of the Blood which is Satanward. Satan’s most strategic
activity in this day is as the accuser of the brethren (Rev. 12:10) and it
is as this that our Lord confronts him with His special ministry as High
Priest “through his own blood” (Hebrews 9:12).
How then does the Blood operate against Satan? It does so by putting God on
the side of man against him. The Fall brough... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 5754 | 40 Chapter 2.4 The Divine Way of Deliverance
God clearly intends that this consideration should lead to our practical
deliverance from sin. Paul makes this quite plain when he opens chapter 6 of
his letter with the question: “Shall we continue in sin?” His whole being
recoils at the very suggestion. “God forbid!”, he exclaims. How could a
holy God be satisfied to have unholy, sin-fettered children? And so “how
shall we any longer live therein?” (Romans 6:1, 2). God has surely
therefore made adequat... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 5754 | 41 Chapter 4: The Path of Progress: Reckoning
We now come to a matter on which there has been some confusion of thought
among the Lord’s children. It concerns what follows this knowledge. Note
again first of all the wording of Romans 6:6: “Knowing this, that our old
man was crucified with Him”. The tense of the verb is most precious for it
puts the event right back there in the past. It is final, once-for-all. The
thing has been done and cannot be undone. Our old man has been crucified
once and for... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 5754 | 42 Chapter 7: The Eternal Purpose
We have spoken of the need of revelation, of faith and of consecration, if
we are to live the normal Christian life. But unless we see the end God has
in view we shall never clearly understand why these steps are necessary to
lead us to that end. Before therefore we consider further the question of
inward experience, let us first look at the great Divine goal before us.
What is God’s purpose in creation and what is His purpose in redemption? It
may be summed up in ... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 5754 | 43 Chapter 8: The Holy Spirit
We have spoken of the eternal purpose of God as the motive and explanation
of all His dealings with us. Now, before we return to our study of the
phases of Christian experience as set forth in Romans, we must digress yet
again in order to consider something which lies at the heart of all our
experience as the vitalizing power of effective life and service. I refer to
the personal presence and ministry of the Holy Spirit of God.
And here, too, let us take as our startin... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 5754 | 44 chapter 9.3 Christ The End Of The Law
In Romans 6 we saw how God delivered us from sin; in Romans 7 we see how He
delivers us from the Law. In chapter 6 we were shown the way of deliverance
from sin in the picture of a master and his slave; in chapter 7 we are shown
the way of deliverance from the Law in the picture of two husbands and a
wife. The relation between sin and the sinner is that of master to slave;
the relation between the Law and the sinner is that of husband to wife.
Notice first t... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 5754 | 45 chapter 9.5 I Thank God!
Romans 6 deals with “the body of sin”, Romans 7 with “the body of this
death” (6:6; 7:24). In chapter 6 the whole question before us is sin; in
chapter 7 the whole question before us is death. What is the difference
between the body of sin and the body of death? In regard to sin (that is, to
whatever displeases God) I have a body of sin—a body, that is to say,
which is actively engaged in sin. But in regard to the Law of God (that is,
to that which expresses the will of ... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 5754 | 46 Chapter 10: The Path of Progress: Walking In The Spirit
Coming now to Romans 8 we may first summarize the argument of our second
section of the letter from chapter 5:12 to chapter 8:39 in two phrases, each
containing a contrast and each marking an aspect of Christian experience.
The are: Romans 5:12 to 6:23: ‘In Adam’ and ‘in Christ’. Romans 7:1 to 8
:39: ‘In the flesh’ and ‘in the Spirit’.
We need to understand the relationship of these four things. The former two
are ‘objective’ and set forth ... 阅读全帖 |
