圣经上不是说“亚伯拉罕信上帝，就被算为义人”吗？人工作得来的工钱不算是恩典，是应得的。但对于只信赦免罪人的上帝、不靠功劳的人，他的信就被算为义。大卫也说不靠行为而被上帝算为义的人是有福的，他说：

他跟工人讲好一天的工钱是一个银币，然后派他们去葡萄园。

到了下午五点钟的时候，他再次出去，看见还有人闲站在那里，就问他们，‘为什么你们整天站在这里无所事事呢？’他们回答说，‘因为没有人雇用我们。’园主说，‘你们也到我的葡萄园来吧！’

律法是后来颁布的，使过犯更多地显出来，只是哪里的罪越多，哪里的恩典就显得越丰富。罪怎样掌权带来死亡，恩典也照样借着义掌权，为要借着我们主耶稣基督带来永生。

主赐给我丰富的恩典，使我在基督耶稣里有信心和爱心。有句话千真万确、完全可信，就是“基督耶稣降世，为要拯救罪人。”在罪人中我是个罪魁，但我依然蒙了怜悯，因为耶稣基督要在我这个罪魁身上彰显祂无限的忍耐，使我做那些要信靠祂并得到永生之人的榜样。

你们得救是靠恩典，凭信心。这不是出于你们自己，而是上帝的礼物；也不是由于你们的行为，以免有人自夸。我们是上帝的杰作，是在基督耶稣里创造的，为要叫我们做祂预先安排给我们的美善之事。

另一个罪犯却责备他说：“你同样是受刑的，难道不怕上帝吗？我们是罪有应得，但这个人没有犯过罪。”他随即恳求耶稣：“耶稣啊，当你来执掌王权的时候，请你记得我。”耶稣对他说：“我实在告诉你，今天你要和我一起在乐园里了。”

我们赞美祂奇妙无比的恩典，这恩典是上帝借着祂的爱子赐给我们的。我们借着祂爱子的血蒙救赎，过犯得到赦免，这都是出于祂的洪恩。上帝用各种智慧和聪明把这恩典丰丰富富地赐给我们，
