「因為你們立志行事，都是神在你們心里運行，為要成就祂的美意。」                  （腓   2:13 新國際版 ）

我如今已在基督里，神道德上的要求，雖是對我沒有任何改變，但從今以后，卻不是我自己去應付這些要求了。贊美神，祂是那位在寶座上的設立律法者，也是那位住在我心里的成全律法者。祂設立律法，祂也親自來成全，祂發出要求，祂也親自來應付這要求。如果我們試著要憑自己來包辦并完成一切，祂就受限制而不能做什么。我們所以失敗頻頻，就是因著我們掙扎努力要一試再試。我們的難處，乃在乎我們雖軟弱得不能遵行神的旨意，但卻仍然不夠軟弱到全然放手，讓神負責來處理一切。只有當我們到了滿感幻滅的地步，我們才會在絕望中，歸回投靠那位准備為我們成全諸事的神。

一個基督徒要得拯救，他第一件事就必須知道神對他這個人沒有盼望，從今以后，他對自己也不再有盼望。神知道你是沒有一點力量，什么都不能做，所以才把你釘在十字架上。

在基督里有兩個事實，一個是基督死了，我們也死了。第二，就是与基督一同复活，在基督里复活的人，要結果子榮耀神。

“For it is God who works in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.” (Philippians 2:13)

Now that I am in Christ, God's moral requirements have not changed anything for me, but from now on, I am no longer responsible for meeting these requirements on my own. Praise God, He is the Lawgiver on the throne and the Lawfulfiller who lives in my heart. He established the law, and He Himself fulfilled it. He made demands, and He Himself fulfilled the demands. If we try to do it all on our own, He will be limited in what He can do. The reason why we fail frequently is because we struggle and try again and again. Our problem is that although we are too weak to obey God's will, we are not weak enough to let go completely and let God handle everything. Only when we reach the point of becoming disillusioned do we return in despair to the God who is ready to do all things for us.

If a Christian wants to be saved, the first thing he must know is that God has no hope for him as a person, and from now on, he no longer has hope for himself. God knows that you have no strength and cannot do anything, so He nailed you to the cross.

There are two facts in Christ. One is that Christ died and we also died. Second, they are resurrected with Christ, and those who are resurrected in Christ will bear fruit to the glory of God.
