4. 2. The Son of God (Romans 1:3-4).

Called after Jesus Christ, Christians (Romans 1:6) through the faith of Jesus Christ (Romans 3:22).

Faith in Christ. Through Jesus Christ we have peace toward God, and to God we have access by faith into this grace, and we glory in the hope of the glory of God (Romans 5:1-2).

By Jesus Christ were we reconciled to God (Romans 5:10,11).

As by one man sin entered into the world, so by the justice of one are we justified (Romans 5:12, 13, 15, 18-19).

There is no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit, in order that the justification of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit (Romans 8:1-4). Christ is at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us (Romans 8:34).

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, distress, hunger, death, angels, principalities, height, depth, etc. (Romans 8:35-39)?

From the fathers Christ is according to the flesh, who is over all; God blessed forever. Amen (Romans 9:5).

Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved (Romans 10:13).

We are one body in Christ; all are members having different gifts according to grace (Romans 12:5-6). The gifts which belong to different members are enumerated in a long series (verses 6, 13).

Put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 13:14).

Whether we live, we live in the Lord; whether we die, we die in the Lord; therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord's. For to this end Christ both died and rose and lived again that He might be Lord both of the dead and of the living (Romans 14:8-9).

It is written, I live, saith the Lord, for every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God (Romans 14:11). Isaiah saith, there shall be a root of Jesse, and He that shall rise to rule over the nations; in Him shall the nations hope (Romans 15:12).

The Gospel of Christ (Romans 15:19-21).

Chosen and tried in the Lord, in Christ: to work and labor in the Lord (Romans 16:8-13).

7710. “你向天伸手” 表在天上行使神之真理的能力. 这从 “伸手” 和 “天” 的含义, 以及摩西的代表清楚可知: “伸手” 是指能力的行使, 如前所述 (7673节); 将要伸手的摩西是指神的真理 (参看6723, 6752, 7010, 7014, 7382节); “天” 是指天使天堂. 至于在天上行使神之真理的能力会在侵扰者当中产生一个新状态, 该状态由 “幽暗” 来表示, 是怎么回事, 这从前面所示 (7643, 7679节) 明显看出来, 即: 主不断重整天堂, 使之归入秩序, 并将属天和属灵的良善赋予那些在天堂里的人和新来者. 这种重新整理, 归入秩序的结果是, 恶人逐渐经历荒凉; 因为重新整理之后, 这良善从更接近处于对立面的恶人的位置流入. 从神来的流注一直持续到对立面, 并以这种方式将地狱保持在联结和拘役中. 由于恶人将一切良善变为邪恶, 所以他们将从更近位置流入的良善变成更大的邪恶. 他们越是这样做, 就越强烈地抵制真理和良善, 也就是说, 对真理和良善的侵扰就越激烈. 正因如此, 他们所经历的荒凉是分阶段逐渐进行的, 直到最终他们被投入地狱, 这是荒凉的最后阶段. 由此可见, 除了良善外, 没有什么东西从主发出, 祂不使恶人荒凉, 更不会将他们投入地狱, 这一切都是他们自己造成的.
