Chap. 19 - Opinions and Practices to Be Conformed to God's Word
信心与行为-第20章
(引自《评论与通讯》的文章,1902年3月25日)
有许多人声称自己已经成圣归于上帝,可是及至把那公义的大标准摆在他们面前,他们就变得极其兴奋,并且显出一种精神,证明他们对何为成圣一无所知。他们没有基督的心;对于那些真正成圣的人,只要一把上帝的道展开在他们面前,他们就会迅速予以尊重和顺从,他们也会表达一种强烈的愿望,要知道在每一教义要点上何为真理。一种狂喜的感觉并非成圣的证据。那种“我得救了,我得救了”的主张并不证明心灵的得救或成圣。{FW 121.1}[1]
信心与行为-第20章
(SELECTED FROM REVIEW AND HERALD ARTICLE, MARCH 25, 1902.)
There are many who claim that they have been sanctified to God, and yet when the great standard of righteousness is presented to them they become greatly excited and manifest a spirit which proves that they know nothing of what it means to be sanctified. They have not the mind of Christ; for those who are truly sanctified will reverence and obey the Word of God as fast as it is opened to them, and they will express a strong desire to know what is truth on every point of doctrine. An exultant feeling is no evidence of sanctification. The assertion, "I am saved, I am saved," does not prove that the soul is saved or sanctified. {FW 121.1}[1]
信心与行为-第20章
许多非常兴奋的人蒙告知说,他们成圣了,其实他们对这个词的意思毫无理智上的认识,因为他们不明白圣经,也不晓得上帝的大能。他们自以为符合上帝的旨意,因为他们感到快乐,但及至他们受到试验,及至要他们经历上帝的道,他们就掩耳不听真理,说:“我成圣了,”从而结束辩论。他们一点儿不查考圣经以便明白何为真理,证明他们非常自欺。成圣远非一阵感觉。{FW 121.2}[2]
信心与行为-第20章
Many who are greatly excited are told that they are sanctified, when they have no intelligent idea of what the term means, for they know not the Scriptures or the power of God. They flatter themselves that they are in conformity to the will of God because they feel happy; but when they are tested, when the Word of God is brought to bear upon their experience, they stop their ears from hearing the truth, saying, "I am sanctified," and that puts an end to the controversy. They will have nothing to do with searching the Scriptures to know what is truth, and prove that they are fearfully self-deceived. Sanctification means very much more than a flight of feeling. {FW 121.2}[2]
信心与行为-第20章
兴奋不是成圣。惟有完全顺从我们天父的旨意才是成圣,而上帝的旨意在祂神圣的律法中表达了出来。遵守上帝的全部诫命乃是成圣。证明你们自己是顺从上帝之道的儿女乃是成圣。上帝的道而不是人的意见或想法要成为我们的向导。真心希望成圣的人要以忍耐,祷告,谦卑痛悔的心查考圣经。要记住耶稣的祷告:“求祢用真理使他们成圣,祢的道就是真理”(约17:17)。{FW 121.3}[3]
信心与行为-第20章
Excitement is not sanctification. Entire conformity to the will of our Father which is in heaven is alone sanctification, and the will of God is expressed in His holy law. The keeping of all the commandments of God is sanctification. Proving yourselves obedient children to God's Word is sanctification. The Word of God is to be our guide, not the opinions or ideas of men. Let those who would be truly sanctified search the Word of God with patience, with prayer, and with humble contrition of soul. Let them remember that Jesus prayed, "Sanctify them through Thy truth: Thy word is truth" (John 17:17). {FW 121.3}[3]
信心与行为-第20章
【靠上帝所说的每一句话而活】
基督教只是靠从上帝口中所出的每一句话而活。我们应当信靠和活在基督里,祂是道路、真理和生命。我们对上帝有信心是在我们相信祂的道的时候;我们在遵守上帝诫命的时候才倚靠和顺从上帝;我们爱上帝的律法的时候才爱上帝。{FW 122.1}[4]
信心与行为-第20章
【Living by Every Word of God】
Christianity is simply living by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. We are to believe in, and live in, Christ, who is the way, the truth, and the life. We have faith in God when we believe His Word; we trust and obey God when we keep His commandments; and we love God when we love His law. {FW 122.1}[4]
信心与行为-第20章
相信一个谎言不会将我们任何一个人放在成圣之路上。就算全世界的传道人都告诉我们违背公义标准的一条律例是安全的,我们若是拒绝一条清楚明白的“你要”或“你不可”的命令,也不会减少我们的义务或罪辜。我们不要以为我们的父辈确实怎样做了而且死得很安然,就可以随从他们的脚踪,因献上与他们一样的侍奉、做与他们一样的工作而蒙悦纳。{FW 122.2}[5]
信心与行为-第20章
Believing a lie will not put any one of us in the way of being sanctified. Should all the ministers in the world tell us that we were safe in disobeying a single precept of the holy standard of righteousness, it would not lessen our obligations nor make our guilt less, if we reject a plain "Thou shalt" or "Thou shalt not." We need not think that because our fathers did a certain way and died happy, we may follow in their footsteps and be accepted in rendering the same service and doing the same works that they did. {FW 122.2}[5]
信心与行为-第20章
我们拥有比他们的时代更多的亮光;我们若是希望蒙上帝悦纳,就必须忠心地顺从亮光并且行在其中,象他们接受和顺从上帝所赐给他们的亮光一样。我们必须忠实地接受和善用照在我们道路上的亮光,就象他们接受和善用在他们的世代照在他们道路上的亮光一样。我们要按在我们的日子照进灵宫的亮光受审判;我们若是遵行那亮光,就必成为在基督耶稣里得享自由的男男女女。{FW 122.3}[6]
信心与行为-第20章
We have more light than they had in their day; and if we would be accepted of God, we must be as faithful in obeying the light and walking in it as they were in receiving and obeying the light that God sent to them. We must accept and improve the light that shines upon our pathway as faithfully as they accepted and improved the light that fell upon their pathway in their generation. We shall be judged according to the light that shines into the soul-temple in our day; and if we follow the light, we shall be free men and women in Christ Jesus. {FW 122.3}[6]
