今日的生活-第204章

  “那时，敬畏耶和华的彼此谈论，耶和华侧耳而听，且有记念册在祂面前，记录那敬畏耶和华、思念祂的名的人。万军之耶和华说：在我所定的日子，他们必属我，特特归我。我必怜恤他们，如同人怜恤服事自己的儿子”（玛3:16,17）。{ML 207.1}[1]

  Family Companionship
Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name. And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.Malachi 3:16, 17.{ML 207.1}[1]

  我们个人对上帝的责任和工作，是别人所不能代替的。藉着教训，个人的努力和榜样，会使世界变得更加美好。我们应当培养社交的能力，不只是为了娱乐，而是有一个目标。许多生灵有待拯救。……我们与别人交际，应当有庄严及天国心思的特色。我们的谈话也应当是关于天国的事。……{ML 207.2}[2]

今日的生活-第204章

  We have an individual accountability to God, an individual work which no one can do for us. It is to make the world better by precept, personal effort, and example. While we should cultivate sociability, let it not be merely for amusement, but for a purpose. There are souls to save.... Our intercourse with others should be characterized by sobriety and heavenly-mindedness. Our conversation should be upon heavenly things....{ML 207.2}[2]

  有什么能比专心研究救赎的计划更有价值呢？这个题目是无穷无尽的。耶稣的爱，祂无穷之爱所给予堕落人类的救恩，圣洁的心，末世时代宝贵的救人真理，以及耶稣基督的恩典──这些题目都能激动人心，并使心地纯洁的人感觉到快乐，象门徒在以马忤斯的路上与耶稣同行共话时所得的一样。人若将自己的情意集中于基督，就必欣赏这种圣洁的交游，并从这种交往上收取神圣的力量。……何时上帝的真理成了心中长存的原则，它就要变成活的泉水。即或尝试去压抑它，它仍要自别处迸流出来；源源而出，无法遏止。真理在心中乃是生命的泉源，使疲倦的人恢复精力，并禁戒思想与言语上的邪恶，使一切尽都兴盛。……他们的快乐在于……耶稣和祂的爱。（RH.1885.11.10）{ML 207.3}[3]

  What is more worthy to engross the mind than the plan of redemption? It is a subject that is exhaustless. The love of Jesus, the salvation offered to fallen man through His infinite love, holiness of heart, the precious, saving truth for these last days, the grace of Jesus Christ—these are subjects which may animate the soul and cause the pure in heart to feel that joy that the disciples felt when Jesus came and walked with them as they traveled toward Emmaus. He who has centered his affections upon Christ will relish this kind of hallowed association and will gather divine strength by such intercourse.... When the truth of God is an abiding principle in the heart, it will be like a living spring. Attempts may be made to repress it, but it will gush forth in another place; it is there, and cannot be headed off. The truth in the heart is a wellspring of life. It refreshes the weary, restrains the vile thought and utterance, and makes all flourishing.... Their happiness will ... be ... in Jesus and His love.64{ML 207.3}[3]
