蒂莫西·凯勒：本讲座的核心在于探讨律法与恩典的关系。他指出，基督教信仰的核心存在一个明显的矛盾：如何将律法和恩典结合在一起？许多人认为两者是相互对立的，但凯勒认为，两者并非对立，而是相互补充，共同构成基督教信仰的基石。他引用加拉太书，指出保罗提出的核心问题是：律法是否与神的应许（恩典）对立？凯勒认为，律法与恩典是两种不同的方式，但并非相互排斥。他进一步解释说，福音坚持将其他宗教无法结合的两件事结合在一起，即律法和恩典。其他宗教要么强调律法的绝对性，要么强调爱的绝对性，而福音则将两者完美地结合在一起。凯勒还探讨了历史上人们对律法和恩典的不同理解，以及由此产生的文化冲突。他认为，无论是将律法绝对化还是将爱绝对化，都无法建立一个凝聚的社会。只有将律法和恩典结合起来，才能建立一个和谐的社会。 蒂莫西·凯勒：他深入探讨了基督的替代性赎罪如何调和律法与恩典。他指出，通过基督的牺牲，上帝的公义和慈爱得到了完美的体现。基督的死满足了上帝的公义，同时也彰显了上帝的爱。他引用圣经经文，解释了基督的替代性赎罪如何使信徒免受律法的谴责，并获得救赎。凯勒强调，只有理解基督的替代性赎罪，才能真正理解律法与恩典的统一。他批评了一些人将福音简化为单纯的爱或单纯的律法，认为这是一种误解。他认为，真正的福音是律法与爱的完美结合，是公义与慈爱的统一。只有在基督里，律法和恩典才能真正合一。凯勒还探讨了如何将这种理解应用于日常生活和社会生活中，他认为，真正理解福音的基督徒是最好的公民，他们能够将真理和爱结合起来，以身作则影响世界。

The sermon explores the apparent contradiction between law and grace in Christianity, emphasizing the tension and release this paradox can bring.

Shownotes Transcript

The gospel insists on putting two things together that no other religion tries to put together, that all other human categories of thought insist is impossible.

How is it possible to have both law and grace in your life? It’s a striking apparent contradiction. In fact, if it doesn’t create some tension in you, you’ll never experience the glorious release Christianity can give.

I’d like to pose the central question Paul asks in Galatians 3: is the law opposed to grace? I’d like to show you 1) the significance of the question and 2) the significance of the answer.

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on January 25, 1998. Series: Galatians: New Freedom, New Family. Scripture: Galatians 3:19–29.
