This life is a life of faith, for God will try the truth of our faith, so that the world may see that God has such servants as will depend upon His bare word; it were nothing to be a Christian if we should see all here; but God will have His children to live by faith, and take the promise upon His word.
这生命是信心的生命，因为神要试验我们信心的真实性，好让世人看到神有这样的仆人愿意单单依靠祂的话语；如果我们在此就能看见一切，作基督徒就毫无意义了；但神要祂的儿女凭信心而活，凭祂的话语接受应许。
Galatians 2:20 are the words of a man pursued by the law unto Christ, proceeding from the Spirit of Christ; the nature whereof is, to apply generals to particulars. So St Paul here, ‘The life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God.’ He sees he is dead by the law; therefore he seeks for a better husband. The law finds him dead, and leaves him dead. Thus pursued by the tenor of the law, he flies to Christ, and says, ‘I am crucified with Christ,’ nevertheless I live. How? ‘Yet not I, but Christ liveth in me.’
加拉太书2:20是一个被律法追逼到基督面前之人的话语，是从基督的灵而来的；其本质是将普遍真理应用于具体情况。因此保罗在这里说：”我如今在肉身活着，是因信神儿子的信而活。”他看到自己因律法而死；所以他寻求一个更好的丈夫。律法发现他死了，也让他继续死着。这样被律法的威严追逼，他逃向基督，说：”我已经与基督同钉十字架”，然而我还活着。如何活着？”不再是我，乃是基督在我里面活着。”
We live the life of faith in justification. This is a life of sentence that the soul lives by, peace being spoken unto it by the pardon of sin; for God by his Spirit communicates so much to the soul, giving us assurance that Christ our surety and peace-maker is raised up again.
我们在称义中过信心的生活。这是灵魂所依靠的宣判之生命，通过罪得赦免而获得平安；因为神藉着祂的灵如此与灵魂交通，使我们确信基督——我们的担保者和和平之主已经复活。
So Ephesians 2:5 says “Even when we were dead in sins, he has given us life together with Christ, and raised us together, and made us sit in heavenly places with him.” And why? Because our Surety has paid our debt. We say of a man condemned, he is a dead man until he have a pardon, which he has obtained, we turn our speech, and say, he lives. So in justification: being united to Christ, and believing our pardon, we are said to live. Our sins lie on him as our surety; for then, as our husband in charge, he pays all our debts.
因此以弗所书2:5说：”当我们死在过犯中的时候，便叫我们与基督一同活过来，一同复活，一同坐在天上。”为什么？因为我们的担保者已经偿还了我们的债。我们说一个被定罪的人是个死人，直到他得到赦免，当他获得赦免后，我们就改变说法，说他活了。在称义中也是如此：与基督联合，相信我们得赦免，我们就被称为活着。我们的罪归在祂身上，因为祂是我们的担保；作为负责的丈夫，祂偿还了我们所有的债。
Thus by virtue of our marriage to Christ, he discharges all our debts, and goes away with them; even as the scapegoat in the wilderness went quite away will all the sins and iniquities of the people, never to return again. Look to our sins, the curse and wrath due them, and all is laid on him. Look at all the good in him, that is for us; all the evil in us, look also to him for it, to have it taken away, pardoned, and not imputed.
因此，凭借我们与基督的婚姻关系，祂免除了我们所有的债务，并带走了这些债务；就像旷野中的替罪羊带走了百姓所有的罪孽，永不再回来一样。看我们的罪，当受的咒诅和愤怒，这一切都归在祂身上。看祂里面所有的善，那是为我们预备的；看我们里面所有的恶，也要仰望祂，使这些恶被除去，被赦免，不被归算。
There be three ranks of men in the world, under which all men may be comprehended.
世上有三等人，所有人都可以归入其中。
- The estate of nature.
- 本性的境况。
- The estate of men under the spirit of bondage.
- 在奴仆之灵下的人的境况。
- The estate of grace under the gospel.
- 在福音下恩典的境况。
