本研究是基於牧養關顧的需要，察覺信徒對於成聖觀抱持兩種極端的態度。一種是想要靠自己的力量來達到「完全」的目標，結果卻令人大失所望；另一種則是毫不在乎神的心意，以為接受了洗禮的儀式，從此便可高枕無憂，進而矯正偏差並為信徒尋得一條符合聖經真理又實際可行的成聖之路。本研究乃依循《兩種義》的內涵、互動和落實，並且反思它與「十架神學」和「基督徒要學」的關聯，最後也提出它對基督徒成聖生活的貢獻。首要的資料為:1519年《兩種義》、1535年《加拉太書講章》，次要資料則為1519-1536年有關此主題的路德著作。最後輔以路德學者的著書。研究結果如下:一、「第一種義」乃「基督外來的義」，是我們藉信所領受在神面前的稱義。二、「第二種義」乃「我們實際的義」，釋聖靈推動我們藉愛索活出在人面前的稱義。三、「第一種義」是「第二種義」的起因，「第二種義」是「第一種義」的結果；兩者必須清楚分別，卻不可分離。四、基督徒的生活是不斷藉信從神領受「第一種義」，同時也藉愛向人活出「第二種義」的生活。
This study is due to the needs of pastoral caring.It is observed that common to believers are two extreme views of sanctification.One view relies on one's own ability, endeavors to attain perfection, resulting in utter disappointment.The other presumes that a ritual of baptism guarantees everything, carelessly dismissing the will of God. This study seeks to clarify biblical teachings on sanctified life through Luther's insight of "Two Kinds of Righteousness";in hopes of correcting the common errors and providing believers with a way of sanctification, which is both biblical and practical. The structure of this study follows the ideas & context of "Two Kinds of Righteousness".Major elements include:the connotation, interaction and fulfillment of "Two kinds of Righteousness",with reflections on its correlations with the "Theology of the Cross" and Luther's Catechisms.Its role in sanctification of Christian life is also elucidated.The primary resources come from Luther's "Two Kinds of Righteousness" of 1519,and "Lectures on Galatians" of 1535;the secondary resources are from other works of Luther related to this topic during 1519 to 1536.Other literatures of various various Lutheran scholars are consulted.A brief synopsis of the conclusions is shown below:1.The "First Kind of Righteousness"is the "Alien Righteousness of Christ",which we receive through faith, so that we may be justified before God.2.The "Second kind of Righteousness" is "Our Proper Righteousness",which the Holy Spirit prompts us through love to live righteously before people.3.The "First Kind of Righteousness"is the cause of the"Second Kind of Righteousness",the "Second Kind of Righteousness" is the effect of the "First Kind of Righteousness";the two must be clearly distinct but not to be separated.4.A Christian life is the constant receiving, through faith , of the "First kind of Righteousness" from God;and at the same time the working out, through love, of the "Second Kind of Righteousness"toward people.
