27 SERMONS ON THE VICTORY OF FAITH & THE EXCELLENCY OF JESUS CHRIST AND FREE GRACE
27 篇关于信仰的胜利、耶稣基督的卓越和自由恩典的布道词
An Exposition of the History of Christ’s dispossessing of the daughter of the woman of Canaan.Delivered in SERMONS; In which are opened,The Victory of Faith; The condition of those that are tempted; The excellency of Jesus Christ and Free-Grace; and Some specially Grounds and Principles of Libertinism and Antinomian Errors, discovered基督驱魔加纳妇人之女的历史阐述。在讲道中传达了信仰的胜利,受试探者的处境,耶稣基督和自由恩典的卓越,以及一些特别的放纵主义和反法定主义错误的基础和原则。
Lessons from Christ’s Gracious Answers to a Woman Whose Faith Would Not Give Up.
基督对一个信心坚定的女人的慈悲回答所带来的教训。
In twenty-seven eloquent sermons, Rutherford expounds the healing of the daughter of the Canaanite woman (described in Matthew 15 and Mark 7). What he sees in it most of all is the free grace of God: ‘Christ, for this cause especially, left the bosom of God, and was clothed with flesh and our nature, that he might be…a sea and boundless river of visible, living, and breathing grace, swelling up to the highest banks…’ Rutherford would have us observe here ‘a flower planted and watered by Christ’s own hand-a strong faith in a tried woman.’
卢瑟福德讲解了《马太福音》15 章和《马可福音》7 章中迦南妇人的女儿得医治的故事,用 27 篇慷慨陈辞的布道表达了他的见解。他在这个故事中看到的最重要的是上帝的自由恩典:“特别是,基督离开上帝的怀抱,降世成人,成为一流、无限的宽容和生命之河,向着最高峰汹涌流淌…” 卢瑟福德希望我们在这里观察到“一个孩子由基督的手栽种和浇灌,一个受试炼的女人坚定的信仰。”
To encourage us to persist in seeking such grace, Rutherford explains both the trial and the triumph of saving faith.
为了鼓励我们坚持追求这样的恩典,拉瑟福德解释了拯救信仰的试炼和胜利。

If we be not to mourn for sin committed, because it is pardoned, neither should our will be averse from the committing of it; because before it be committed, it is also pardoned, as Antinomians teach, 192. Libertines conspire with Papists, in the doctrine of justification, 194.
恩典使天上的推理变得迅捷和机智,180。信仰与基督的引诱相矛盾,但要谦虚和谨慎,181。圣徒可以与基督争论他们的状态,但他们不敢争论他们的行为,181。我们要谦卑地接受和忍耐觉醒的良心,但不要寻求一种暴躁的良心,182。真正的谦卑及其方式,有七个方面。-请参阅该处,182。我们应该认为每个人都比自己更好,185。骄傲的人从远处就能看出来,185。恩典在关注罪人时的谦卑,186。不感恩的原因,187。一个被称义的灵魂应该承认罪过,有三个论据证明,188。并且出于各种原因为罪过而悲伤,190。如果我们不为犯下的罪而悲伤,因为它已经得到赦免,那么我们的意愿也不应该远离犯罪;因为在犯罪之前,它也已经得到赦免,正如安提法派所教导的那样,192。自由派与天主教徒在称义的教义上勾结,194。
SERMON XVIII. 第十八篇讲道。
How sins are removed in justification, how not, 195. There remaineth sin formally in the justified, proved by six arguments, 195. How sin dwelleth in us after we are justified, 197. A twofold removal of sin, one moral or legal in justification, another physical in our sanctification, 200. The difference between the removal of sin in justification, and its removal in sanctification, 201. Seven grounds why sin dwelleth still in the justified person, 202. How sins past, present, and to come, are pardoned in justification, 209. There is a twofold consideration of justification, but not two justifications, 209. Sins in three divers respects are taken away, according to Scripture, 210. Christ’s satisfaction performed on the cross for sin, is not formally justification, but only causatively, fundamentally, or meritoriously, 210. There is a change in justification, 211. How sins not committed are remitted, 21l. There is but one justification of a believer, illustrated by a comparison, 213. There is a difference between pardon of sin, the justification of the person, and the repeated sense of the pardon, 214. Justifying faith is some other thing, than the sense of justification, 215. How fear, or hope, or reward of glory has influence in our holy walking, 215. Objections removed, 216.
在称义中如何除去罪恶,如何不除去,195。被证明在称义的人中仍然存在罪恶,有六个论据,195。在我们称义之后,罪恶如何在我们中存在,197。罪恶的两种除去方式,一种是在称义中的道德或法律上,另一种是在我们的成圣中的物理上,200。在称义中除去罪恶与在成圣中除去罪恶的区别,201。七个理由说明为什么罪恶仍然存在于被称义的人中,202。在称义中如何赦免过去、现在和将来的罪恶,209。对称义有两种考虑,但没有两种称义,209。根据圣经,罪恶在三个不同的方面被除去,210。基督在十字架上为罪所作的赎罪不是正式的称义,而只是因果、根本或者是有功的,210。在称义中有一个改变,211。如何赦免未犯的罪恶,21l。信徒只有一次称义,通过比较进行说明,213。宽恕罪恶、人的称义和宽恕的重复感之间有区别,214。称义的信仰与称义的感觉是不同的东西,215。 恐惧、希望或荣耀的奖励对我们的圣洁行走有何影响,215. 反对意见被排除,216.
SERMON XIX. 第十九篇讲道。
The Lord Jesus is [not] so made the sinner in suffering for sin, as there remaineth no sin in the sinner once pardoned, as Antinomians teach, especially Doctor Crispe, 218. Sin so laid on Christ as that it leaveth not off to be our sin, 220. The guilt of sin, and sin itself, are not one and the same thing, 222. An inherent blot in sin, and the guilt and debt of sin, 222. Two things in debt, as in sin, 223. The blot of sin, two ways considered, 228. A twofold guilt in sin, one intrinsical, and of the fault; another of the punishment, and extrinsical, 225. Reasons why sin, and the guilt of sin cannot be the same, 226. Christ not intrinsically the sinner, 229. Imputation of sin, no imagination, no lie, 230. Reasons proving that Christ was not intrinsically and formally the sinner, 232. What righteousness of Christ is made ours, 235. The believer how righteous, and Christ how not, 235. Christ’s bearing of our sins, by a frequent Hebraism in Scripture, is to bear the punishment due to our sins, and not to bear the intrinsical blot of our sins, 239. How Christ is in our place, 241. How the debtor and the surety be one in law, and not intrinsically one, 243. A perplexed conscience in a good sense is lawfully consistent with a justified sinner’s condition, 245. A conditional fear of eternal wrath required in the justified, but not an absolute fear, and yet trouble of mind for the indwelling of sin is required, 246.
主耶稣在为罪受苦时,并非使罪人成为罪人,一旦得到赦免,罪人内心就不再有罪,正如安提法派所教,尤其是克里斯普博士所说的。罪被加在基督身上,但并不意味着它不再是我们的罪。罪的罪责和罪本身并不是同一回事。罪中的固有瑕疵、罪的罪责和债务是两回事。在罪和债务中有两个方面。罪的瑕疵有两种考虑方式。罪中有两种罪责,一种是内在的,与过失有关;另一种是外在的,与惩罚有关。罪和罪的罪责不能是同一回事的原因。基督并非本质上是罪人。罪的归咎不是想象,也不是谎言。有理由证明基督并非本质上和形式上是罪人。基督的义如何成为我们的。信徒如何成为义人,基督如何不是。基督为我们的罪担当,根据圣经中频繁使用的希伯来语法,是指承担我们罪应受的惩罚,而不是承担我们罪的内在瑕疵。基督如何代替我们。债务人和保证人在法律上如何成为一体,而不是本质上成为一体。 在良好的意义上,一颗困惑的良心与一个经理了的罪人的状态是合法一致的,245。被辩护者需要对永恒愤怒的有条件的恐惧,但不是绝对的恐惧,但是对内在罪恶的烦恼是必要的,246。
SERMON XX. 讲道第二十篇。
The conscience, in Christ, is freed from sin, that is, from actual condemnation, but not from incurring God’s displeasure by the breach of a law, if the believer sin, 248. I am to believe the remission of these same very sins, which I am to confess with sorrow, 251. How the conscience is freed from condemnation, and yet not from God’s displeasure for sin, 251. Eight cases of conscience resolved from the former doctrine, 251. To be justified is a state of happiness, most desirable, illustrated from the eternity of the debt of sin, 254. The smallest and worst things of Christ are incomparably above the most excellent things on earth, illustrated in six particulars, 257. What must Christ himself be, when the worst things of Christ are so desirable? 261. The excellency of Christ further illustrated, and the foulness of our choice evidenced, 262. How to esteem Christ, illustrated, in four grounds, 263. Degrees of persons younger and older in grace, in our Lord’s house, 265. Christ’s family is a growing family, 267. God bringeth great and heavenly works out of the day of small things, 268. We are to deal tenderly with weak ones, upon six considerations, 271.
在基督里,良心被从罪恶中解脱出来,也就是从实际的谴责中解脱出来,但并不意味着违反上帝的律法不会招致上帝的不悦,如果信徒犯罪,248。我要相信这些同样的罪过得到了赦免,我要悔过并承认这些罪过,251。良心如何从谴责中解脱出来,但对于罪恶上帝的不悦仍然存在,251。从前述教义中解决了八个良心问题,251。被称义是一种非常可取的幸福状态,从罪债的永恒性来说明,254。基督最微小和最糟糕的事物远远超过地上最优秀的事物,从六个方面进行了说明,257。当基督的最糟糕的事物如此可取时,基督自己会是什么样子呢?261。进一步说明基督的卓越性,并证明我们的选择是多么污秽,262。如何评价基督,在四个基础上进行了说明,263。在我们主的家中,年轻和年长的人在恩典上有不同的程度,265。基督的家庭是一个不断成长的家庭,267。上帝从微小的事物中带来伟大而天上的作为,268。我们要从六个方面对待软弱的人,271。
SERMON XXI. 第二十一篇布道。
The prevalency of instant prayer put forth upon God in eight acts, 272. Prayer moveth and stirreth all wheels in heaven and earth, 272. Five things concerning faith, 278. There is a preparation going before faith, 278. There is no necessary connection between preparations going before faith, and faith, 279. Affections going before faith, and following after, differ specifically, and not gradually only, 279. All are alike unfit for conversion, 280. Some nearer conversion than others, 281. Three grounds or motives of believing, 28l. Glory, and Christ, the hope of glory, strong motives of believing, 282. Faith’s object the marrow of God’s attributes, to speak so, 283. Faith a catholic grace required in all our actions natural and civil, as well as spiritual, 284. Christianity how an operous work, 285. The six ingredients of faith, 286. Faith turneth all our acts which are terminated on the creature, into half non-acts, 288. Faith hath five notes of difference in closing with the promise, 293. Literal knowledge worketh as a natural agent, 296. Warrant of applying set down in five positions, 299. Eight ingredients of a counterfeit faith, 308.
对上帝的即时祈祷在八个行为中的普遍性,272。祈祷动摇并激发了天地间的一切运动,272。关于信仰的五件事,278。信仰之前有一种准备,278。信仰之前的准备与信仰之间没有必然的联系,279。信仰之前和之后的情感在特定上有所不同,而不仅仅是逐渐的,279。所有人都不适合转变,280。有些人比其他人更接近转变,281。信仰的三个基础或动机,28l。荣耀和基督,信仰的强大动机,282。信仰的对象是上帝属性的精髓,就这样说吧,283。信仰是一种普遍的恩典,在我们的自然、社会和精神行为中都是必需的,284。基督教如何成为一项劳动,285。信仰的六个成分,286。信仰将我们所有以创造物为目标的行为转化为半个非行为,288。信仰在接受应许时有五个不同的标志,293。字面知识作为一种自然因素起作用,296。应用的授权在五个位置中设定,299。伪造信仰的八个成分,308。
SERMON XXII. 讲道第二十二篇。
Thirteen works, or ingredients of a strong faith, and how to discern a weak faith, 306. Strong praying a note of strong faith, 306. 2nd, Instant pleading a note also, 307. Strength of grace required in believing, 307. Christ rewardeth grace with grace, 308. How grace beginneth all supernatural acts, 308. There is a promising of bowing and predeterminating grace made to supernatural acts, yet so as God reserveth his own liberty: 1st, How, 2nd, When, 3rd, In what measure he doth co-operate with the believer in these acts, 308. Four reasons why grace in the work of faith must begin, and so begin as we are guilty in not following, 311. Grace is on the saints, and to them, but, glory is on them, but not to them, 312. Grace to an angel necessary to prevent possible sins, 313. 3rd, Note of a strong faith, Not to be broken with temptations, 314. 4th, Faith staying on God without light of comfort a strong faith, 315. The fewer externals that faith needeth, the stronger it is within, 315. Comforts are externals to faith, 317. Some cautions in this, that some believe strongly without the help of comforts, 317. Reasons why divers of God’s children die without comfort, 317.
十三个作品,或者说是坚定信仰的要素,以及如何辨别一个薄弱的信仰,306。坚定祈祷是坚定信仰的标志,306。第二,即时恳求也是一个标志,307。相信需要的恩典的力量,307。基督用恩典回报恩典,308。恩典如何开始所有超自然行为,308。对超自然行为有弯腰和预定恩典的承诺,但上帝保留了自己的自由:第一,如何,第二,何时,第三,在这些行为中他如何与信徒合作,308。为什么恩典在信心的工作中必须开始,并且必须开始得我们有罪,311。恩典是给圣徒的,也是为了他们,但荣耀是在他们身上,而不是给他们的,312。天使需要恩典来防止可能的罪恶,313。第三,坚定信仰的标志,不被诱惑打破,314。第四,没有安慰的情况下,信心仍然坚定地依靠上帝,315。信仰所需的外在因素越少,内在的信仰就越强大,315。安慰是信仰的外在因素,317。在这方面有一些警告,有些人在没有安慰的帮助下仍然坚定地相信,317。为什么上帝的一些儿女在没有安慰的情况下死去的原因,317。
SERMON XXIII. 第二十三篇讲道。
The more of the word and the less of reason the stronger faith is, 318. 6th, A faith that can forego much for Christ is a strong faith. 320. 7th, It is a strong faith to pray and believe when God seemeth to forbid praying, 321. 8th, Great boldness argueth great faith, 371. 9th, To rejoice in tribulation, 322. 10th, to wait on with long patience, 322. 11th, A humble faith is a strong faith, 324. 12th, a strong desire of a communion with Christ, 324. 13th, Strength of working by love, argueth a strong faith, 325. A great faith is not free of doubtings, 327. Divers sorts of doubting opposite to faith. 327. Some doubting a bad thing in itself, yetper accidens, and in regard of the person, and concomitants, a good sign, and argueth sound grace, 328. Of a weak faith, 329. Negative adherence to Christ not sufficient to saving faith, 329. A suffering faith a strong faith, 331. Faith in regard of intention weak, may be strong in regard of extension, in three relations, 332. The lowest ebb of a fainting faith, 333. What of Christ remaineth in the lowest ebb of a fainting faith, 334.
越多的话语,越少的理性,信仰就越坚定,318. 一个能为基督放弃很多的信仰是坚定的信仰,320. 当上帝似乎禁止祈祷时,祈祷并相信是坚定的信仰,321. 大胆表明了伟大的信仰,371. 在苦难中欢喜,322. 长时间的耐心等待,322. 谦卑的信仰是坚定的信仰,324. 对与基督的交流有强烈的渴望,324. 凭借爱心的力量工作,表明了坚定的信仰,325. 伟大的信仰并不排除怀疑,327. 不同种类的怀疑与信仰相对立,327. 有些怀疑本身是不好的,但在某种程度上,从人和伴随因素来看,是一个好的迹象,表明了健全的恩典,328. 关于薄弱的信仰,329. 对基督的否定性依附不足以构成拯救的信仰,329. 忍受的信仰是坚定的信仰,331. 在意图上薄弱的信仰,在范围上可能是坚定的信仰,在三个关系中,332. 衰退的信仰的最低潮,333. 在衰退的信仰的最低潮中,基督的一部分仍然存在,334.
SERMON XXIV. 讲道第二十四篇。
A stock of grace is within the saints: our grace is not all, and wholly in Christ though it be all from Christ, 337. The powers of the soul remain whole in conversion, 338. The stock of grace is to be warily kept, 338. Four things are to be done, to keep the stock without a craze, 339. The tenderness of, Christ’s heart, and strength of love toward sinners, 341. Christ strong in moral acts, and strongly moderate in natural acts: the contrary is in natural men, 341. Christ’s motion of tender mercy, as it were natural, 343. How mercy worketh eternally, and secretly, and underground even under a bloody dispensation, 344. Judgment on the two kingdoms except they repent, 345. A rough dispensation consistent with tenderness of love in our Lord, 346. Free love goeth before our redemption, 348. Christ loveth the persons of the elect, but hateth their sins, 348 A twofold love of God, one of good will to the person, another of complacency to his own image in the person, 349. No new love in God, 350. Objections of Mr. Denne the Antinomian answered, 350. What it is to be under the law, 352. How God loveth us before time, and how he now loveth us in time, 354. By faith and conversion our state is truly changed before God, 356. To be justified by faith, is not barely to come to the knowledge that we are justified before we believe, 359. Justification not eternal, 360. Faith is not only given for our joy and consolation; but also for our justification, both in our own soul and before God, 363. There is no warrant in Scripture for two reconciliations; one of man’s reconciliation to God, and another of God’s reconciliation to man, 366. Christ’s merits, no cause, but an effect of God’s eternal love, 366. What reconciliation is, 366. Joy without all sorrow for sin, no fruit of the kingdom of God, 367. The seeing of God, Heb. 12:14, and the kingdom, 1 Cor. 6; John 3:3, not the kingdom of grace, but of glory, 368. All acts of blood and rough dealing in God to his own acts of mercy, 368.
圣徒内有恩典的储备:我们的恩典并非全部都在基督里,尽管它全部来自基督,337。灵魂的力量在转变中保持完整,338。恩典的储备需要小心保持,338。为了保持储备不受损坏,需要做四件事,339。基督的心脏的温柔和对罪人的爱的力量,341。基督在道德行为中强大,在自然行为中强烈克制:而自然人则相反,341。基督的怜悯之动,宛如自然,343。怜悯如何在永恒中、秘密地、甚至在血腥的安排下起作用,344。除非他们悔改,否则对两个王国的审判,345。严厉的安排与我们主的爱的温柔一致,346。自由的爱在我们的救赎之前,348。基督爱选民的人,但憎恶他们的罪,348。上帝的爱有两种,一种是对人的善意,另一种是对他自己形象在人中的喜悦,349。上帝没有新的爱,350。回答了安提法的丹恩先生的异议,350。什么是在律法之下,352。上帝如何在时间之前爱我们,以及他如何在时间中爱我们,354。 凭借信仰和转变,我们在上帝面前的状态真正改变了,356。凭借信仰被称义,并不仅仅是在我们相信之前得知我们被称义,359。称义并非永恒,360。信仰不仅仅是为了我们的喜乐和安慰,也是为了我们自己的灵魂和在上帝面前的称义,363。圣经中没有两次和解的依据;一次是人与上帝的和解,另一次是上帝与人的和解,366。基督的功德不是原因,而是上帝永恒的爱的结果,366。何为和解,366。没有对罪的一切悲伤的喜乐,不是上帝国度的果实,367。见到上帝,希伯来书 12:14,和上帝的国度,哥林多前书 6;约翰福音 3:3,不是恩典的国度,而是荣耀的国度,368。上帝对自己的仁慈行为中的所有血腥和粗暴对待,368。
SERMON XXV. 讲道第二十五篇。
Omnipotency hath influence, on, 1st, Satan. 2nd, Diseases. 3rd, Stark death. 4th, On life itself. 5th, Mother-nothing. 6th, On all creatures, 371. Obediential power in the creation, what it is, 372. Omnipotency is (as it were) a servant to faith, 374. We worship a dependent God, 375. We have need of the Devil and other temptations for our humiliation. 377. Immediate mercies, are the sweetest mercies; cleared, 1st, In Christ. 2nd, Grace. 3rd, Glory. 4th, Comfort. 5th, The rarest of God’s works, 378. The deceitfulness of our confidence, when God and the creature are joined in one work, 385.
全能力对以下事物有影响:第一,撒旦。第二,疾病。第三,死亡。第四,生命本身。第五,母亲-虚无。第六,对所有生物的影响,共 371 个。创造中的顺从权力是什么,共 372 个。全能力(可以说)是信仰的仆人,共 374 个。我们崇拜一个依赖的上帝,共 375 个。我们需要魔鬼和其他诱惑来谦卑我们自己,共 377 个。直接的恩惠是最甜蜜的恩惠;在基督、恩典、荣耀、安慰和上帝的最罕见的作品中得到证明,共 378 个。当上帝和创造物在一项工作中结合时,我们的自信是欺骗性的,共 385 个。
SERMON XXVI. 讲道第二十六篇。
Christ in four relations hath dominion over devils, 389. Satan goeth nowhere without a pass, 390. We often sign Satan’s conditional pass, 391. A renewed will is a renewed man, 393. Eight positions concerning the will and affections, 393. A civil will is not a sanctified will, 393. The yielding of the soul to God, and to his light, a special note of a renewed will, 393. Affections sanctified, especially desires, 395. The less mixture in the affections, the stronger are their operations, 395. Mind and affections do reciprocally vitiate one another, 396. Spiritual desires seek natural things, spiritually: Carnal desires seek spiritual things, naturally, 396. God submitteth his liberality of grace, to the measure of a sanctified will, in four considerations, 397. Our affections, in their acts and comprehension, are far below spiritual objects, Christ and heaven, 397. More in Christ and heaven, than our faith can reach in this life, 398.
基督在四个关系中统治着魔鬼,389。撒旦没有通行证就无法前往任何地方,390。我们经常签署撒旦的有条件通行证,391。一个更新的意愿是一个更新的人,393。关于意愿和情感有八个立场,393。一个公民的意愿不是一个圣洁的意愿,393。灵魂向上帝和他的光屈服,是一个更新的意愿的特殊标志,393。情感被圣化,尤其是欲望,395。情感中混合越少,它们的作用就越强大,395。心灵和情感相互败坏,396。属灵的欲望在属灵上寻求自然的事物:肉体的欲望在自然上寻求属灵的事物,396。上帝将他的恩典的慷慨程度,根据一个圣洁的意愿的程度,分为四个考虑,397。我们的情感在行动和理解上远远低于属灵的对象,基督和天堂,397。在基督和天堂中,比我们的信仰在这个生命中能够达到的更多,398。
SERMON XXVII. 讲道第二十七篇。
Satan not cast out of a land or a person, but by violence, both to Satan and the party; amplified in four considerations, 400. False peace known, 402. A roaring and a raging devil, is better than a calm and a sleeping devil, 402. God’s way of hardening, as it is mysterious, so is it silent and invisible, 404.
撒旦不是被从一个地方或一个人中赶出来的,而是通过暴力方式,对撒旦和对方都是一样的;在四个方面得到了进一步解释,400。假和平的存在是可以察觉的,402。一个吼叫和憤怒的魔鬼,比一个平静和沉睡的魔鬼更好,402。上帝的方法是加强,它既神秘又沉默无声,404。
