Free Grace 自由之恩典
Free Grace 自由之恩典
“Paul’s pre-eminent contribution to the world has been his presentation of the good news of free grace—as he himself would have put it (rightly), his re-presentation of the good news explicit in Jesus’ teaching and embodied in his life and work. The free grace of God which Paul proclaimed is free grace in more senses than one—free in the sense that it is sovereign and unfettered, free in the sense that it is held forth to men and women for their acceptance by faith alone, and free in the sense that it is the source and principle of their liberation from all kinds of inward and spiritual bondage, including the bondage of legalism and the bondage of moral anarchy” —— F. F. Bruce, Paul Apostle of the Heart Set Free
“保罗对世界的突出贡献是他对“白白的（自由）恩典”这一好消息的介绍——这白白的恩典，正如他自己所说的那样，是他对这显明于耶*稣教导中、又体现在耶*稣的一生与所成之工中的福音的重新介绍。保罗所宣扬的上帝的自由恩典之自由乃是在于若干层面——在于它拥有至高主权、是不受约束的；在于它提供给无论是男人还是女人，让他们仅凭信心就得以被接纳；在于它是他们从各种内在的和属灵的（包括法律主义的束缚和道德无政府主义的）束缚中得释放的根源和原理。” —— F. F.布鲁斯，《心得自由的使徒保罗》
