在恩典里成为承受者
以撒也在恩典里成为承受者（创二一9-12）。他父亲一切所有的都是他的，因为亚伯拉罕把一切的丰富都给了这独一的承受者。
在恩典里顺从
以撒也在恩典里顺从（创二二5-10）。已往我读创世记二十二章，不懂以撒怎能这样顺从。至终我看见，他所以顺从，是因他被恩典浸透了。他完全在恩典里，他的顺从也在恩典里。这个顺从带来神的供备。今天我们也是这样。甚么时候我们在恩典里顺从，我们就要看见神的供备。
从父承受一切
以撒从他父亲承受了一切（创二四36，二五5）。以撒成了他父亲丰富的承继者，乃是凭着恩典，不是凭着他的努力。人没有要求他作甚么来承受父亲的丰富，他也没有作甚么来得着产业。这是绝对而无条件的恩典。
在新约中，所有蒙召的信徒都是神绝对而无条件之恩典的承受者。神已呼召了我们，在基督里用各样属灵的福分，祝福了我们（弗一3）。祂在基督里已把我们放在恩典里，使我们成为恩典的承受者，承受神圣丰满的一切丰富，作我们的享受。我们基督徒的生活必须像以撒的生活，不凭自己作甚么，单单承受并享受父亲所有的一切。在恩典的承受中，我们必须停下天然生命的努力，使自己敞开，并豫备好享受恩典。
承受他父亲所得的应许
以撒不但承受他父亲一切所有的，也承受神给他父亲关于美地和独一后裔的应许，这后裔就是基督，地上万国必因祂得福（创二六3-5）。这应许实际上是为着达到神的目的，使神在地上能得着一个国度，在其中藉着一班团体的人彰显祂自己。美地和后裔都是为着神在地上形成一个国度。在这国度里神能在后裔中得着完全的彰显。神要把祂自己作到这班后裔里面，他们要变化成为祂的形像。这就是亚伯拉罕所得着，以撒所承受的应许。今天在我们身上，这应许要得着成就。今天我们在享受三一神作我们的恩典，藉着我们享受恩典，神的国要得着实现，神在基督里要得着完全的彰显，直到永远。
每日一问：信主之后，你是否仍觉得需要“做些什么”才配得神的祝福？

Isaac’s Experience — Receiving Grace (2) — Eph. 1:3
Becoming an Heir in Grace — Isaac also became an heir in grace (Gen. 21:9-12). Everything his father had was his, for Abraham gave all his riches to this unique heir.
Submitting in Grace — Isaac also submitted in grace (Gen. 22:5-10). In former days when I read Genesis chapter twenty-two, I could not understand how Isaac could be so submissive. Eventually I saw that the reason he submitted was because he had been thoroughly saturated with grace. He was entirely in grace, and his submission was also in grace. This submission brought God’s provision. We are the same today. Whenever we submit in grace, we will see God’s provision.
Inheriting Everything from the Father — Isaac inherited everything from his father (Gen. 24:36; 25:5). Isaac became the heir of his father’s riches by grace, not by his own effort. No one required him to do anything to inherit his father’s riches, and he did nothing to obtain the inheritance. This is absolute and unconditional grace.
In the New Testament, all the called believers are heirs of God’s absolute and unconditional grace. God has called us and blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing (Eph. 1:3). In Christ He has placed us in grace, making us heirs of grace to inherit all the riches of the divine fullness as our enjoyment. Our Christian life must be like Isaac’s life — not doing anything by ourselves, but simply inheriting and enjoying everything the Father has. In receiving grace, we must stop the effort of our natural life, open ourselves, and be prepared to enjoy grace.
Inheriting the Promise — Given to His Father Isaac not only inherited all that his father had, but also inherited the promise God gave his father concerning the good land and the unique Seed — who is Christ — through whom all the nations of the earth would be blessed (Gen. 26:3-5). This promise is actually for the accomplishment of God’s purpose, that God might obtain a kingdom on earth in which He displays Himself through a corporate people. Both the good land and the Seed are for God to form a kingdom on earth. In this kingdom, God can obtain full expression through the Seed. God wants to work Himself into this corporate Seed, who will be transformed into His image. This is the promise received by Abraham and inherited by Isaac. Today, this promise is to be fulfilled in us. Today we are enjoying the Triune God as our grace, and through our enjoyment of grace, God’s kingdom will be realized, and God in Christ will receive full expression, unto eternity.
Daily Question: After believing in the Lord, do you still feel you need to “do something” to be worthy of God’s blessing?
