【神百姓的三大“恩典”】

主讲：郑伟健同工 + 陈炎明牧师

19/10/2022

引言：破镜重圆的美好

一、神赐再造之恩（V1-5）

1.重造的应许

神吩咐摩西要再凿出两块石板，是和先前的一样。这是神对百姓们的极大恩典，神的赦免和恩典是完全的。

神并没有责备摩西摔坏法板，但是接纳他。神还主动吩咐他再造，再经历，再领受一次。我们的父神有再造之恩，所以我们要谦卑悔改，回到天父的再造之恩。

2.不变的法则

人会悖逆、会愚昧，但神的十诫却不会改变，神并没有趁着重造法版二重新改变自己的律例典章。

二、呼召拣选之恩（V6-11）

耶和华将利未支派分别出来，抬耶和华的约柜，又侍立在耶和华面前侍奉他，奉他的名祝福，直到今日。利未支派是神特别分别出来的支派，是奉神的名去祝福百姓，而且是以神为产业的支派。利未人就是当时候全职在神的殿的支派，就好比蒙召全职摆上服事的同工。

今天虽然我们不是每一个人全时间在教会服事，但是服事神本是我们一生的呼召。在职场工作只不过是我们的兼职，一生服事神才是我们的终极目标。让我们一起忠心做成神对我们的托付，我们不但蒙了眼前的祝福，更是要加倍的得到永恒的奖赏，神是我们永恒的基业。

三、再三提醒之恩(V12-22)

神不断提醒百姓谨守遵行祂的诫命、律例典章。只为了让我们可以得福，但是我们可以如何去回应神给我们的提醒呢？

1.敬畏神 敬爱神（V12-13）

我们可以不断思想我们对神敬畏的态度是如何的呢？我们是否有认真遵行祂的道，爱祂，尽心尽性侍奉祂，遵守祂的诫命，律例，就是神吩咐我们的。我们是全心愿意摆上的人吗？

2.谦卑悔改 远离罪孽 （V16）

为心行割礼，是要从心里除去罪孽，从心悔改回转，甘心乐意全心地悔改。 不是外表掩饰，而是有行动真心的悔改。

3.存怜悯慈爱的心（V18-19）

神是满有怜悯慈爱的神，神也要我们有好怜悯的心。 弥迦书 6:8 也提到神已指示我们何为善。祂向我们所要的是只要我们行公义，好怜悯，存谦卑的心，与神同行。特别对孤儿寡妇，贫困寄居的，神一再提醒，因为过去以色列活在贫困寄居的时候，也是神救了他们。同样，当我们领受了神的恩典，我们也要活出像神一样怜悯慈爱的心。

总结：认识神的恩典，经历蒙福的应许

我们要敬畏耶和华我们的神，侍奉祂，专靠祂。祂应许我们们从万民中拣选我们，使我们得福，使我们的后裔如同天上的星那样多。

Deuteronomy 10: The three "graces" of God's people

Speaker: Asher Chang + Rev David Tan

Introduction: The beauty of reconciliation and starting anew

1.God gives gracestoration（V1-5）

(1) The promise of recreation

God commanded Moses to hew out two more tablets of stone, the same as the previous ones. This was God's great grace to the people, and God's forgiveness and grace were complete. God did not rebuke Moses for breaking the tablets of the law, but accepted him. God also took the initiative to command him to recreate it, to experience it again, to receive it once more. God our Father has the gracestoration, so we need to humble ourselves and repent and return to the Father's gracestoration.

(2) The unchanging law

Men may be disobedient and foolish, but God's Ten Commandments do not change. God did not take advantage of the recreation of the second edition of the Law to change His own laws anew.

2.The Grace of Calling and Choosing（V6-11）

The LORD set apart the tribe of Levi to carry the ark of the covenant of the LORD and to serve the LORD and to bless in his name until this day. The tribe of Levi was a tribe specifically set apart by God to bless the people in His name and was a tribe that had God as its inheritance. The Levites were the tribe that was at that time working full-time in the house of God, just like co-workers who were called to serve full-time.

Although not all of us serve in the church full time today, serving God is our calling in life. Working in the workplace is only our part-time job, serving God for a lifetime is our ultimate goal. Together, let us be faithful in fulfilling God's commission to us, not only for our immediate blessings, but also to double our eternal rewards, for God is our eternal inheritance.

3.The Grace of Repeated Reminders（V12 -22）

God constantly reminds the people to keep His commandments, His statutes and His laws. But how can we respond to the reminders God gives us?

(1) Fear God Love God（V12-13）

Can we keep thinking about how we are honouring God? Are we serious about keeping His Word, loving Him, serving Him with all our heart and soul, keeping His commandments, His statutes, that is, what God has commanded us to do? Are we the ones who are willing to lay it on the line with all our hearts?

(2) Repent humbly and turn away from your sins （V16）

Circumcision for the heart is the removal of sins from the heart, repentance and turning from the heart, willingly and gladly repenting wholeheartedly. It is not an outward disguise, but a genuine repentance with action.

(3) Be merciful and loving （V18-19）

God is a merciful and loving God, and God wants us to have a heart of mercy too. Micah 6:8 He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God?. God reminds us again and again, especially of the orphans and widows, the poor and the needy, because God saved Israelites in the past when they were living in poverty and neediness. In the same way, when we have received God's grace, we are to live as compassionate and loving as God is.

Conclusion: Know the grace of God and experience the promise of blessing.

We are to fear the Lord our God, to serve Him and to trust in Him alone. He has promised us that He will choose us from among the nations and bless us, so that our descendants will be as numerous as the stars of heaven.
