76问：悔改得生是什么？
答：悔改得生是一种上帝所赐的与救恩相伴的美德（提后2:25），是圣灵（亚12:10）和圣言（徒11:18，20－21）在罪人的心中做成的，由此，
75问：成圣是什么？
答：成圣是上帝的作为，出于祂白白的恩典。
答：所谓得儿子的名分，就是上帝借着，也为了，祂的独生爱子耶稣基督，所赐下白白恩典的作为（弗1:5；加4:4－5；约壹3:1），使所有得称为义的人都被纳入祂儿女的行列中（约1:12），被刻上祂的名字（林后6:18；启3:12），得着祂儿子的灵（加4:6），并在祂为父般的眷顾和安排下（诗103:13；箴14:26；太6:32），得享神儿女的自由和权利，承受上帝诸般的应许，在荣耀中能与基督同为后嗣（来6:12；罗8:17）。
Answer: Adoption is an act of the free grace of God, in and for his only Son Jesus Christ, whereby all those that are justified are received into the number of his children, have his name put upon them, the Spirit of his Son given to them, are under his fatherly care and dispensations, admitted to all the liberties and privileges of the sons of God, made heirs of all the promises, and fellow heirs with Christ in glory.
答：使人称义的信心是借着上帝的圣灵（林后4:13；弗1:17-19）和圣言（罗10:14，17）在人心里所成就，能叫人得救的恩典（来10:39），使人既借以确知自己的罪恶和祸患，确信自己和其他万有一切都无法令自己恢复所已经失去的地位，就不仅能认同福音所应许的真理之道（徒2:37；徒16:30；约16:8－9；罗5:6；弗2:1；徒4:12），而且也能接受、信靠并根据基督与基督之义，罪得赦免（约1:12；徒16:31，10:43；弗1:13），在上帝眼中被接纳，被算为义，以致得救（腓3:9；徒15:11）。
Answer: Justifying faith is a saving grace, wrought in the heart of a sinner by the Spirit and Word of God, whereby he, being convinced of his sin and misery, and of the disability in himself and all other creatures to recover him out of his lost condition, not only assents to the truth of the promise of the gospel, but receives and rests upon Christ and his righteousness, therein held forth, for pardon of sin, and for the accepting and accounting of his person righteous in the sight of God for salvation.
答：信心之所以能使罪人在上帝眼中得称为义，并非由于经常伴随信心而来的其他恩典，或所结出来种种美善的果子（加3:11；罗3:28），也还不是由于所赐下来使罪人得称为义之信心的恩典或作为（罗4:5，比较罗10:10），而单单是因为信心本身乃是承接并支取基督与基督之义的器皿（约1:12；腓3:9；加2:16）。
Answer: Faith justifies a sinner in the sight of God, not because of those other graces which do always accompany it, or of good works that are the fruits of it, nor as if the grace of faith, or any act thereof, were imputed to him for his justification; but only as it is an instrument by which he receives and applies Christ and his righteousness.
答：基督固然已借着顺服与代死之功，为所有被称为义之人作出了能满足上帝公义之要求、切实有效的补偿（罗5:8-10，19），但上帝既是根据自己的要求，让人单单凭着信心（罗3:24-25），单单凭着出于上帝所赐的信心（弗2:8），就能从祂自己所提供作为担保之独生子身上取得了补偿（提前2:5-6；来10:10；太20:28；但9:24，26；赛53:4-6，10-12；来7:22；罗8:32；彼前1:18-19），使独生子之义归算到他们的身上（林后5:21），就充分说明他们所以得称为义全是上帝白白的恩典了（弗1:7）。
Answer: Although Christ, by his obedience and death, did make a proper, real, and full satisfaction to God’s justice in the behalf of them that are justified; yet inasmuch as God accepts the satisfaction from a surety, which he might have demanded of them, and did provide this surety, his own only Son, imputing his righteousness to them, and requiring nothing of them for their justification but faith, which also is his gift, their justification is to them of free grace.
答：称义是上帝对罪人所赐白白恩典的作为（罗3:22，24-25；4:5），包括赦免他们所有的罪、接纳他们、视他们为义人（林后5:19，21；罗3:22，24-25，27-28）。上帝将这恩典加在他们的身上（罗5:17-19；罗4:6-8），并不因为他们有所成就或有所作为（多3:5，7；弗1:7），而只是由于基督完全的顺服和充分的补偿，使他们可以单单凭着信心领受（徒10:43；加2:16；腓3:9）。
Answer: Justification is an act of God’s free grace unto sinners, in which he pardons all their sins, accepts and accounts their persons righteous in his sight; not for any thing wrought in them, or done by them, but only for the perfect obedience and full satisfaction of Christ, by God imputed to them, and received by faith alone.
答：无形教会的成员所享有与基督的交契之恩，就是有份于基督的中保之功，得称为义（罗8:30）、得着名分（弗1:5）、得以成圣，以及今生已与基督联为一体的所有记号（林前1:30）。
Answer: The communion in grace which the members of the invisible church have with Christ, is their partaking of the virtue of his mediation, in their justification, adoption, sanctification, and: Whatever else, in this life, manifests their union with him.
答：有效的恩召乃上帝大能与恩典的作为（约5:25；弗1:18-20；提后1:8-9），就是：1）祂的行动完全是出于自己对选民白白的奇恩妙爱，并非因为选民自己有什么吸引祂的地方（多3:4-5；弗2:4-5，7-9；罗9:11）；2）祂在悦纳的日子，借着自己的圣言和圣灵，将他们邀到、引到耶稣基督面前（林后5:20，比较林后6:1-2；约6:44；帖后2:13-14）；3）祂以救赎之光启迪他们的心思（徒26:18；林前2:10，12），更新并有力地扭转他们的意志（结11:19；36:26-27；约6:45），使他们已死在罪恶过犯中的人能够甘心乐意、自由自在回应祂的呼召，领受所赐、所传予他们的恩典（弗2:5；腓2:13；申30:6）。
Answer: Effectual calling is the work of God’s almighty power and grace, whereby (out of his free and special love to his elect, and from nothing in them moving him thereunto) he does, in his accepted time, invite and draw them to Jesus Christ, by his Word and Spirit; savingly enlightening their minds, renewing and powerfully determining their wills, so as they (although in themselves dead in sin) are hereby made willing and able freely to Answer: his call, and to accept and embrace the grace offered and conveyed therein.
答：唯独所有的选民能蒙受有效的恩召（徒13:48）；其他人虽或也经常触及上帝圣言外在的呼召（太22:14），以及圣灵某方面一般性的作为（太7:22；13:20-21；来6:4-6），但由于他们对所显于他们之恩典蓄意忽略、心存藐视，弃自己于不信之中，故无法真正归向耶稣基督（约12:38-40；徒28:25-27；约6:64-65；诗81:11-12）。
Answer: All the elect, and they only, are effectually called; although others may be, and often are, outwardly called by the ministry of the Word, and have some common operations of the Spirit; who, for their wilful neglect and contempt of the grace offered to them, being justly left in their unbelief, do never truly come to Jesus Christ.
答：选民与基督的联合是出于上帝恩典的作为（弗1:22，2:6-8），使选民能借着有效之恩召（彼前5:10；林前1:9），在灵魂里以基督为元首、为丈夫，切切实实、密不可分、奥秘神奇地联合在一起（林前6:17；约10:28；弗5:23，30）。
Answer: The union which the elect have with Christ is the work of God’s grace, whereby they are spiritually and mystically, yet really and inseparably, joined to Christ as their head and husband; which is done in their effectual calling.
答：所谓无形的教会，就是过去、现在、未来，所有在元首基督名下蒙选召，归为一体之人的统称（弗1:10，22－23；约10:16；11:52）。
Answer: The invisible church is the whole number of the elect, that have been, are, or shall be gathered into one under Christ the head.
答：无形教会之成员能借着基督享受与祂联合交契的恩典和荣耀（约17:21；弗2:5－6；约17:24）。
Answer: The members of the invisible church by Christ enjoy union and communion with him in grace and glory.
