当圣经说：“律法本是外添的，叫过犯显多；只是罪在哪里显多，恩典就更显多了”。今天许多信徒没有以这句话来认识自己心灵的构造，以此得着得胜罪恶的确实答案。试想，有罪的人能保守完整不犯罪吗？有过犯的人能不被定罪吗？其实，仇敌撒旦的控告与人肉体的能力（使我们体贴它，爱世界）是非常真实的。但是《雅4:6》说：神赐下更多的恩典（给谦卑人）。圣经所说谦卑的人是一个认识与能够接受恩典的人，不是一个因受控告而躲避神或要保护自己的人。今天，到底有多少信徒能不受到自己的条件、情况、性情的阻拦，无止尽的享受这从神来的恩典呢？其实，我们的生命里有太多的无知（不认识恩典）和疑惑（担心恩典会失效）。无知和疑惑就是阻挡我们享受恩典的最大仇敌了。因为神在祂的主权里所施行的救赎是不能废去的，但我们享受这救赎之恩多少就在于我们对神恩典的认识、确认、经历有多深了。确实上，当神已经做了最伟大的事情，我们不能以自己狭窄的心来接受。其实，一个得救之人最大的错误就是以自己的性情来认知神的恩典。例如：自己是善变的就认为神会变；自己的容忍有限就觉得神的恩典有限；自己不能接受自己的丑陋就觉得神的怜悯已经消耗了；自己因为怕失望就不敢将盼望放在神的应许；自己不能爱某些人就认为神不会改造有些人等。其实，这些都是“自我之心”作祟。人亏欠神的荣耀，本是一种“自我崇高，体贴自我”的堕落本性，但神已将祂极丰盛的恩典显明之后，我们又怎能以这老旧的本性来限制祂的恩典呢？借此看来，神真实这么好吗？我们只能确实的回答说：神远超出我们认为的好！因此，我们不但要用自己的一生来认识神的好，更是要在我们又陷入软弱、无能、失败当中认识神无限的好，特别是当神的恩典有时化为那慈爱的管教，为要对付我们里面的旧人，除去我们残余的罪，那时后在我们心中的忧伤痛悔就是神恩典的接入。因此，我们绝不要因当时的管教而留在愁苦或怀疑恩典，相反的我们当相信神的怜悯，接纳祂恩典中的塑造，因为神的塑造与成圣是超出我们能想象的，也超出我们肉身能意识的。神要我们在祂的圣洁上有份，所以《5:21》讲说“恩典要借着义作王”。它会使我们这被称为义之人参与祂的义。基于这理由，在恩典之下蒙受神的义的人绝不会轻慢恩典。他们能坦然的接受恩典，也能享受恩典的自由，但绝不会因恩典放纵罪恶。这是因为恩典的性情里有公义，恩典虽不要求公义，但却是喜爱公义。所以，一个真蒙受恩典的人既又自由，又讨厌罪；既能领受神的怜悯，也能接受神的责备；既有蒙爱的心灵，也同样有爱人之心。因此，他不会成为一个非律法主义者，或是自我优越者。所以主在《路7:47》说：“那被赦免多的，她也爱多，但那蒙赦免少的，他的爱就少”。

When the bible says, “The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more”. Today, many believers do not attempt to know their spiritual construct through this scripture and use it to receive the real answer to overcome sin. Try thinking, can sinners completely prevent themselves from committing sins? Can people with transgressions escape condemnation? Actually, the accusations of the enemy Satan and the power of flesh (causing us to yield to it and love the world) are very real. But <Jas 4:6> said:  God giveth more grace (to the humble). The bible says a humble man is one who knows and able to accept the grace, not one who hides from God and protects self out of accusations. Today, how many believers can be unrestrained by their own conditions, situations and temperaments, and enjoy this grace from God continually? Actually, we have far too much ignorance (not knowing the grace) and doubts (afraid that grace will lose its effect). Ignorance and doubts is the greatest enemy that hinders us from enjoying the grace of God. For the redemption executed by God in His sovereignty will never turn invalid, so how much can we enjoy this grace of redemption will depend on how deep we’ve known, confirmed and experienced His grace. When God had done the most awesome thing, we cannot accept it with our narrow-minded heart. The greatest mistake in one who’s been saved is to know God’s grace through his own temperament. For example: because we’re fickle-minded we start to see God this way too; because we have threshold in our tolerance, we come to think God’s grace has a threshold too; when we cannot accept our own ugliness, we too feel that we’ve exhausted the compassion of God; because of our fear of disappointment, we cannot put our hope on God’s promise; because we cannot love certain people, we also think that God will not change certain people etc. Actually, this is how our “self-centered heart” causes trouble in us. Man fell short of the glory of God, and we inherently have the fallen nature of “self-exaltation and yielding to our self-centeredness”. But after God had revealed His abounding grace, how can we allow the nature of our old-self to restrict His grace? Is God truly this good? We can only say, “God is far beyond the good we’ve imagined! Therefore, not only should we use our lifetime to know the good of God, we need to know the infinite goodness of God all the more when we fall into weakness, powerlessness and failures. In particular, when God’s grace comes in the form of loving discipline with the intent to deal with the old selves inside us and remove our residual sin, the broken and contrite heart is the where the grace of God intervenes. Hence, we should never allow ourselves to remain in distress, or doubt His grace when we’re disciplined, instead, we should believe God is merciful, and accept what He is shaping us into in His grace. His sanctification and moulding are beyond what we can imagine or what our flesh can be conscious of. God wants us to share in His holiness, therefore <5:21> says, “ Grace reigns through righteousness”. It enables all of us who’ve been justified to participate in His righteousness. In view of this, people who’ve received God’s righteousness in His grace will never belittle the grace. They can accept grace boldly and enjoy the freedom in grace, but they will never tolerate evil because of grace. This is because there’s righteousness in the disposition of grace; while grace does not demand for righteousness, it loves righteousness. Therefore, one who receives grace will have freedom but hate sin simultaneously; he can accept God’s mercy and rebuke at the same time; he has the spirit of greatly loved, and is able to love others at the same time. Therefore, he will not become a non-legalist or self-glorifying person. Therefore the Lord said in <Lk 7:47>, “her many sins have been forgiven—as her great love has shown. But whoever has been forgiven little loves little.”
