廉价的恩典

----摘自潘霍华于1937年出版的《门徒的代价》

--------------------------------------------------------------

“廉价恩典是教会致命的仇敌。
今日我们得为昂贵的恩典而战。
廉价恩典像把恩典拿到旧货摊上贱卖。
廉价恩典就是传扬不须悔改的饶恕之道,
传讲不须遵守教会纪律的受浸之道,
传讲不须认罪的擘饼仪式,
传讲不须个人忏悔的赦罪之道。

廉价恩典就是不须要作门徒的恩典,
是缺了十字架的恩典,
是没有复活和道成肉身的耶稣基督之恩典。”

"Cheap grace is the deadly enemy of our church. We are fighting today for costly grace. Cheap grace means grace sold on the market like the cheap jackwares. Cheap grace is the preaching of forgiveness without requiring repentance, baptism without church discipline, Communion without confession, absolution without personal confession. Cheap grace is grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without Jesus Christ, living and incarnate."
