当我们接触与观察这世代的教会，可能会察觉当今信徒最不明白，也最误解的字眼就是“恩典”。但这误解并非是神学教义方面的误解。这误解乃是显示在信徒的心，也从他们的心一直延伸到他们的生活中。按教义来说，大多数信徒都知道世人都犯了罪，而神借着祂独生子的代赎向我们施恩...并且我们得救是本乎恩，因着信，而这信也是出自神的恩典《弗2:7-8》。保罗也说到他从前是怎么亵渎神与侮慢人的，但神的恩格外的丰盛，使他在基督里不但有信心能信上帝，也有爱心能爱这位上帝，一直到他成为一个使徒，能以为服事主受尽苦楚与逼迫《提前1:12-14》。因此，当我们看见一个人很属灵，很爱主时（像保罗），正当我们要将功德指向那个人时，结果发现是神的恩。或者当我们看见一个人身上充满罪恶与私欲时，我们也不能长久论断他。因为谁知道神的恩典可能会临到他。其实，这些教义与道理，我们似乎都知道，但一个人真实明白神的恩都显示在他的心。例如当一个人越来越有才能，所做的凡事亨通顺利，他是否更是谦卑靠主，还是相信自己一套的经历与方法呢？或者若一个人的恩赐与才能都非常有限，他怎么面对自己的局限？他是萎缩起来，常常感到自卑自怜，还是以自己最小的条件或恩赐来为主所用呢？或者有的人在生活服侍中只有看自己的能力多少，只要是超出自己能力（时间与精力）的范围，他就打退堂鼓。但有的是因看见神国的需要，所以继续不断向主求恩，以至经历恩上加恩。这些都显示一个人心中的恩惠了。另外，我们也不难看到有些信徒在生活服侍中一边做，一边埋怨，以至每个人都看到他在为主辛辛苦苦的服侍。这样的生活与服侍全部是给人压力，不是叫人看见神的恩典。因此，保罗说: “我比众使徒格外劳苦，这原不是我，乃是神的恩与我同在”《林前15:10》。因此，心中有恩典之人所做的一切，无论是服侍、上班、处事等，都将人指向神，不是指向自己。无论自己身上有什么的优势，即便是自己非常的蒙恩，能听得明白这福音的奥秘，他不因此因他人听不明白而感到苦恼，反倒是为选民凡事忍耐，叫他们也可以得着那在主里的救恩和永远的荣耀《提后2:10》。其实，这就是恩光了。当恩典临到一个人的心灵时，他的心中有光，使他看得见神的同在与作为，而确知一切都是本于祂，依靠祂，归于祂《罗11:36》。从祂而来的恩典不但不耗尽，反而多而有多。但说到这里，有些人可能会说我们是活在一个邪恶与不公平的世界里。人会践踏这恩典，或滥用这恩典。有时候，人会因为恩典而懒散、占别人的便宜，或是给自己的软弱找各种借口，甚至是继续过犯罪的生活。那么，神的恩典在这时候会怎样运行呢？在此，神的恩典就会化为圣洁之光、 这等光照耀人，以致使他里头的暗昧之事显露出来，使他的良心被责备。《弗5:13》凡事受了责备就被光显明出来。这样受光照的人一定被带到谦卑的地步，以至能领受神的恩典。因此，在一个恩光充满的教会里，不管是谁，都不能带着自己的私心与骄傲来随从主。他很快会察觉自己里头的暗昧之事。这样眼睛明亮的人也很自然会擦觉他人心中的私欲与隐藏的罪，但他绝不是论断人，乃是怜悯人。因此，唯有恩光照耀的教会才能彼此相爱，彼此担当重担。倘若一个教会没有恩光照耀。即便他有很好的教义、形式、规模等，教会弟兄姐妹就会按所懂的来假冒伪善，开始模仿属灵的样式。即便口里常说：“感谢主恩，赞美主恩”，但那并非体现为他心中真实谦卑的样式。很快的，仇敌的毁谤就会介入，人的骄傲、比较、分歧、论断等就会渐渐出现。因此，我们今年要将恩典的教义认识正确，之后要常常借着祷告得着一个被恩光照耀的心灵。

When we interact and observe the church of this generation, we may perceive that “grace” is not just most misunderstood by the believers of today, but is also the most misunderstood word of today. But this misunderstanding is not a misunderstanding of theological teachings.  This misunderstanding is manifested in the hearts of believers, and extends from their hearts to their lives. According to the doctrine, most believers know that the world has sinned, and God has given us grace through the atonement of His only begotten Son... For it is by grace we have been saved through faith and this faith is by God’s grace <Ep 2:7-8>. Paul also talked about how he blasphemed God and was a violent man in the past, but the grace of God was poured out on him abundantly such that he not only had faith to believe in God but also had love to love God, until he became an apostle, and was able to bear sufferings and persecutions for the sake of serving the Lord <1 Ti 1:12-14>. Therefore, when we see a person who is very spiritual and loves the Lord (like Paul), just when we want to attribute these to a person’s merit, we find that it is a result of God’s grace. Or when we see a person full of sins and desires, we also cannot judge him for long. This is because who knows that the grace of God may come upon him.  In fact, we all seem to know these doctrines and principles, but when one truly understands the grace of God, it is displayed in his heart. For example, when a person becomes more and more talented and everything he does goes well, is he more humble and dependent on the Lord, or does he believe in his own set of experiences and methods?  Or if a person's gifts and talents are very limited, how can he face his own limitations?  Does he belittle himself, often feel inferior and be filled with self-pity or does he use his lowliest conditions and gifts for the Lord? Or some people only look at their abilities in their serving. Once they exceed the boundary of their abilities (time and energy), they will start to retreat. But there are those who see the need for the kingdom of God and continue to ask the Lord for grace, and as a result, experience grace upon grace.  All these reveal the grace in one's heart.  In addition, it is not difficult for us to see that some believers are grumbling while serving in their ministry, such that everyone sees them working hard for the Lord. Such a life and serving gives stress to others and causes others not to see the grace of God. Therefore, Paul said, "I work harder than all of the apostles — yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.” <1 Co 15:10>. Therefore, when a person with grace in his heart does everything, whether it is serving, going to work, managing issues, etc., what he does points people to God, not to himself.  No matter what advantage he has, even if he is very blessed, he understands the mystery of the gospel that he hears. He is not troubled because others do not understand, but he endures everything for the sake of the elect, that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory <2 Ti 2:10>. In fact, this is gracious light. When grace comes upon a person's heart, there is light in his heart that allows him to see God's presence and work, knowing with assurance that all things are from Him, and through Him and for Him <Ro 11:36>. The grace that comes from Him is not exhausted, but becomes more and more. But at this point, some people may say that we live in a world of evil and injustice. Man will trample on this grace or abuse it. Sometimes, people are lazy because of grace, take advantage of others, or make excuses for their weakness, or even continue to live a sinful life. So how does God's grace work at such a time? Here, God's grace will be turned into a holy light, and this light will illuminate people, such that the deeds of darkness in them will be exposed, and their conscience will rebuke them <Ep 5:13>. Those who are rebuked will be revealed by the light. Those who are thus illuminated must be brought to the point of humility, that they may receive the grace of God. Therefore, in a church full of gracious light, regardless of who you are, you cannot follow the Lord with your own selfishness and pride. A person will soon perceive the darkness in himself. Such a person whose perspective is illuminated will naturally perceive the desires and hidden sins in the hearts of others, but he definitely does not judge others, but instead has compassion on them. Therefore, only a church that is illuminated by gracious light can love one another and bear one another's burdens. If a church is not illuminated by gracious light, even if it has good doctrines, forms, size, etc, the brethren in the church will base on what they know and behave hypocritically and begin to imitate spiritual patterns. Even though the mouth often says, "Thank the Lord for His grace, praise the Lord for His grace," but what is in the heart does not reflect true humility. Soon, the enemy's slander will come, and human pride, comparison, disagreements, and judgment will gradually emerge. Therefore, we need to understand the doctrine of grace correctly this year, and then through regular prayers, receive a heart that is illuminated by gracious light.
