“那时，敬畏耶和华的彼此谈论，耶和华侧耳而听 … 。万军之耶和华说：‘在我所定的日子，他们必属我，特特归我。’”

—玛3:16 – 17

"Then those who feared the LORD talked with each other, and the LORD listened and heard. . . . 'On the day when I act,' says the LORD Almighty, 'they will be my treasured possession.'" — Malachi 3:16-17

在整卷玛拉基书中，我们看到神的子民一次又一次地藐视祂。他们当中，有些是根深蒂固、冥顽不灵的。但也有些是因为软弱而远离了神，这些人终于看到自己的罪，愿意转向神，神便赐下奇妙的恩典，再一次接纳了他们。

Throughout the book of Malachi we have been reading about one insult against God after another. For some people this disrespect was deep in their hearts. But for others the disrespect came out of a distance from God that they didn't really want. This latter group finally became convicted of their sins and turned back to God. And in an amazing display of grace, God accepted them back.

接着，神更进了一步，祂不但接纳那些回转向祂的人，祂更向他们施怜悯，就像一位良善的父亲施怜悯给他的儿女一样。

Then God went a step further. He not only accepted those who turned back to him; he showed them the mercy a good father shows to his children.

凡愿意接受赦免的人，神都接纳他们为宝贵的儿女。看，祂接纳了祂的独生子完全的牺牲，来买赎祂收纳的儿女的罪。诚然，天父对我们的疼爱和看重，实在远远超过我们所求所想的！

God's treatment of the forgiven as treasured children is shown completely when, with his own Son, Jesus, on the cross, the Father accepts the perfect sacrifice of his one Son to cover the sins of all his adopted children. Truly our Father in heaven loves and values us far more than we can ask or imagine!
