Chapter 102—Individual Responsibility
告青年书-第113章
我们的天父向我们所要的，恰好与祂所赐给我们的能力相称。祂放在祂仆人身上的担子，没有一样是他们所不能担负的。“因为祂知道我们的本体，思念我们不过是尘土”（诗103：14）。祂向我们所要求的一切，都是我们靠着祂的恩典所能够付出的。{MYP 309.1}[1]
告青年书-第113章
Our heavenly Father requires no more nor less than He has given us ability to do. He lays upon His servants no burdens that they are not able to bear. “He knoweth our frame; He remembereth that we are dust.” All that He claims from us we through divine grace can render.{MYP 309.1}[1]
告青年书-第113章
“因为多给谁，就向谁多取”（路12：48）。我们所作的，如果低于我们力所能及的，就得自己负责。上帝准确地衡量每个人服务的能力。人的才能不论已用未用，主都把它算在里面。上帝要我们为藉着善用才干而能取得的成就负责。我们将按照我们所应做却因没有运用自己的才能荣耀上帝，以致没有做的事而受审判。即使我们没有失去自己的生命，我们也必永远感受才能未经使用的后果。我们所能获得却没有获得的知识和才能，将会永远失去。{MYP 309.2}[2]
告青年书-第113章
“Unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required.” We shall individually be held responsible for doing one jot less than we have ability to do. The Lord measures with exactness every possibility for service. The unused capabilities are as much brought into account as are those that are improved. For all that we might become through the right use of our talents God holds us responsible. We shall be judged according to what we ought to have done, but did not accomplish because we did not use our powers to glorify God. Even if we do not lose our souls, we shall realize in eternity the result of our unused talents. For all the knowledge and ability that we might have gained and did not, there will be an eternal loss.{MYP 309.2}[2]
告青年书-第113章
但是当我们全然献身给上帝，并在工作中随从祂的指引时，祂必亲自来帮助我们完成任务。祂不要我们自己去推测自己努力的成效如何？不要有失败的思想。我们是与那永不失败的主合作。{MYP 309.3}[3]
告青年书-第113章
But when we give ourselves wholly to God, and in our work follow His directions, He makes Himself responsible for its accomplishment. He would not have us conjecture as to the success of our honest endeavors. Not once should we even think of failure. We are to cooperate with One who knows no failure.{MYP 309.3}[3]
告青年书-第113章
我们不应谈论自己的软弱和无能，因为这是对上帝不信任和否认祂话语的表现，当我们因自己的担子而发怨言，或拒绝祂所托付我们要肩负的责任时，我们事实上就是说祂是一位忍心的主人，要我们做祂所没有赐予我们力量去做的工。——《基督比喻实训》362，363页{MYP 309.4}[4]
告青年书-第113章
We should not talk of our own weakness and inability. This is a manifest distrust of God, a denial of His Word. When we murmur because of our burdens, or refuse the responsibilities He calls upon us to bear, we are virtually saying that He is a hard master, that He requires what He has not given us power to do.—Christ’s Object Lessons, 362, 363.{MYP 309.4}[4]
告青年书-第113章
【金钱的价值】
上帝把钱财赐给我们，不是要我们为尊荣自己而使用。我们作为忠心的管家，应当用钱财来荣耀上帝。有人以为自己的财物只有一部分是属乎上帝的。当他们将一部分捐给宗教和慈善事业之后，其余的就看作是自己的了，可以按照自己的意思而使用。但这种看法是错误的。我们的一切都是属于上帝的，必须为如何使用而向祂交帐。我们花每一分钱，都要考虑到我们是否爱上帝为至上，并且爱邻舍如同自己。{MYP 310.1}[5]
告青年书-第113章
【Value of Money】
Our money has not been given us that we might honor and glorify ourselves. As faithful stewards we are to use it for the honor and glory of God. Some think that only a portion of their means is the Lord’s. When they have set apart a portion for religious and charitable purposes, they regard the remainder as their own, to be used as they see fit. But in this they mistake. All we possess is the Lord’s, and we are accountable to Him for the use we make of it. In the use of every penny it will be seen whether we love God supremely and our neighbor as ourselves.{MYP 310.1}[5]
告青年书-第113章
金钱是有很大价值的，因为它能成就很多善事。在上帝的儿女手里，金钱可以给饥饿的有饭吃，口渴的有水，赤身的有衣穿，受压迫者得到保护，患病的得医治。金钱只有用来供应生活的需要，造福他人和推进基督的事业才有价值，否则它就与沙土无异。——《基督比喻实训》351页{MYP 310.2}[6]
告青年书-第113章
Money has great value, because it can do great good. In the hands of God’s children it is food for the hungry, drink for the thirsty, and clothing for the naked. It is a defense for the oppressed, and a means of help to the sick. But money is of no more value than sand, only as it is put to use in providing for the necessities of life, in blessing others, and advancing the cause of Christ.—Christ’s Object Lessons, 351.{MYP 310.2}[6]
