我們可以給予別人我們有的東西，但我們無法給予別人我們所沒有的。即使一個人把聖經背得滾瓜爛熟，沒有真的遵行神的話語，沒有心意更新而變化的話，我們無法結出聖靈的果子那樣的生命，那麼我們就給不了愛，恩慈⋯等。即使我們蒙了主耶穌救恩的恩典，我們卻不明白何謂恩典，反而會像馬太福音中比喻的那個欠了一千萬銀子被王饒恕，免了債務的人，轉頭卻不饒恕那欠他十兩銀子的人，無法以恩慈待人。我們可以不苟同人因罪性而犯的錯，但，我們可以用恩慈與憐憫的態度對待這犯錯的人，前提是我們必需讓福音的大能轉化我們，聖經不是拿來背的而是要活出來，否則我們就難免像法利賽人一樣陷在律法主義裏了。

「人若無有，自己還以為有，就是自欺了。..........不要自欺，上帝是輕慢不得的。人種的是甚麼，收的也是甚麼。」加拉太書 6:3, 7

「天國好像一個王要和他僕人算帳。 才算的時候，有人帶了一個欠一千萬銀子的來。 因為他沒有甚麼償還之物，主人吩咐把他和他妻子兒女，並一切所有的都賣了償還。 那僕人就俯伏拜他，說：『主啊，寬容我，將來我都要還清。』 那僕人的主人就動了慈心，把他釋放了，並且免了他的債。 「那僕人出來，遇見他的一個同伴欠他十兩銀子，便揪着他，掐住他的喉嚨，說：『你把所欠的還我！』 他的同伴就俯伏央求他，說：『寬容我吧，將來我必還清。』 他不肯，竟去把他下在監裏，等他還了所欠的債。」馬太福音 18:23-30

「我們若靠著聖靈而活，也要靠著聖靈行事。」加拉太書 5:25

「聖靈所結的果子，就是仁愛、喜樂、和平、忍耐、恩慈、良善、信實、 溫柔、節制。這樣的事沒有律法禁止。」加拉太書 5:22-23

We can give others what we have, but we cannot give others what we don't have. Even if a person memorizes the Bible thoroughly, but does not obey the Word of God, it does not renew and transform their mind. Such a person cannot bear the fruit of the spirit in their life. Thus one cannot give others love, kindness...etc. Even if we have received the grace of salvation from the Lord Jesus, we may still not understand what grace is. On the contrary, we will be like the person who owes millions of dollars to the King in the metaphor we see in the Book of Matthew. The King forgave his debt, but he turned around to arrest the one who owed him few thousand dollars. He had no mercy, and no grace toward others. We can disagree with the mistakes people make because of their sinful nature, but we can still treat them with mercy and grace. The premise is that we must let the power of the gospel transform us. The Bible is not to be memorized but to be lived out as the Word of God. Otherwise, we will inevitably fall into legalism like the Pharisees.

“For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. .........

Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.”

Galatians 6:3, 7 ESV

““Therefore, the Kingdom of Heaven can be compared to a king who decided to bring his accounts up to date with servants who had borrowed money from him. In the process, one of his debtors was brought in who owed him millions of dollars. He couldn’t pay, so his master ordered that he be sold—along with his wife, his children, and everything he owned—to pay the debt. “But the man fell down before his master and begged him, ‘Please, be patient with me, and I will pay it all.’ Then his master was filled with pity for him, and he released him and forgave his debt. “But when the man left the king, he went to a fellow servant who owed him a few thousand dollars. He grabbed him by the throat and demanded instant payment. “His fellow servant fell down before him and begged for a little more time. ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay it,’ he pleaded. But his creditor wouldn’t wait. He had the man arrested and put in prison until the debt could be paid in full.” Matthew 18:23-30 NLT

「Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives.」

Galatians 5:25 NLT

「But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.」Galatians 5:22-23 ESV
