The God Who Is---Part 5

美国

Ephesians 2: 1-10 ( NRSV ) You were dead through the trespasses and sins in which you once lived, following the course of this world, following the ruler of  the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work among those who are disobedient. All of us once lived among them in the passions of our flesh, following the desires of flesh and senses, and we were by nature children of wrath, like everyone else. But God, who is rich in mercy, out of the great love with which he loved us even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ --- by grace you have been saved--- and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the ages to come he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing ; it is the gift of God----not the result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are what he has made us, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand to be our way of life.

以弗所书 2:1--10 你们死在过犯罪恶之中，那时候，你们随从这世界的邪风恶俗，顺服空中的掌权者，就是现今在悖逆之子心中运行的邪灵。其实，我们每一个人从前也都跟他们一样，放纵肉体的私欲，随从肉体的私欲意念去行。因此，我们跟别人没有差别，本为可怒之子．但是，上帝有丰盛的怜悯；他对我们的爱浩大无穷，当我们死在过犯中的时候，便叫我们跟基督一同复活；是他的恩典救了你们。上帝已经使我们在基督耶稣里的生命得到提升，一同与他坐在天上。他这样做是要向世世代代表明他极大的恩典，就是他从基督耶稣向我们显示出来的慈爱。你们是靠上帝的恩典、凭信心而得救的；这不是出于你们自己能这么做，而是上帝的恩赐。既然不是靠行为，你们就没有什么好夸口的。
上帝创造我们；他藉着基督耶稣改造了我们，要我们行善；他预备好我们生命的道路。
