奋斗与勇敢-第49章
(创19:19,29)
“你们要回想罗得的妻子”(路17:32)。{CC 54.1}[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第49章
Genesis 19:19, 29[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第49章
这四个逃命的人中有一个竟敢回头望一望那注定遭劫的城,于是她就成了上帝刑罚的一个纪念。如果罗得本人毫不犹豫地顺从了天使的警告,赶紧逃到山上去,没有一句要求或异议,那么,他的妻子也必能逃脱这一次的灾难。罗得榜样的影响就可以救她脱离那决定她厄运的罪。可是罗得的犹豫和耽搁,使他妻子轻看上帝的警告。她的身体虽然在平原上,但她的心却依恋着所多玛,以致她就与所多玛同归于尽。她怨恨上帝,因为上帝的刑罚把她的财产和儿女都卷入毁灭之中了。虽然她蒙了那么大的恩,被召脱离这邪恶的城,但她总觉得上帝苦待了她,因为多年积攒起来的财富必须留在那里被火焚毁。她非但没有以感谢的心接受救恩,反而擅敢回头恋慕那些拒绝上帝警告之人的生活。她的罪显明她不配得生命,因为上帝虽然保全了她的生命,她却没有表示多少感激的心。{CC 54.2}[2]

Remember Lot’s wife. Luke 17:32. {CC 54.1}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第49章
我们应当谨慎,不可轻看上帝为拯救我们所作的慈爱安排。有一些基督徒这样说:“我的伴侣和儿女若不得救!我也不想得救了。”他们觉得天国若没有那些亲爱的人在那里,天国在他们就不成其为天国了。但是鉴于上帝对待他们的伟大良善和慈爱,试问那些怀有这种思想的人,对于他们自己与上帝的关系是否有正确的认识呢?难道他们忘记了自己有责任为他们的创造主和救赎主服务,来表示自己的爱心,信实和忠贞吗?慈爱的邀请是向一切的人发出的;难道因为我们的亲友拒绝救主的爱,我们也要转离上帝吗?{CC 54.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第49章
One of the fugitives ventured to cast a look backward to the doomed city, and she became a monument of God’s judgment. If Lot himself had manifested no hesitancy to obey the angels’ warning, but had earnestly fled toward the mountains, without one word of pleading or remonstrance, his wife also would have made her escape. The influence of his example would have saved her from the sin that sealed her doom. But his hesitancy and delay caused her to lightly regard the divine warning. While her body was upon the plain, her heart clung to Sodom, and she perished with it. She rebelled against God because His judgments involved her possessions and her children in the ruin. Although so greatly favored in being called out from the wicked city, she felt that she was severely dealt with, because the wealth that it had taken years to accumulate must be left to destruction. Instead of thankfully accepting deliverance, she presumptuously looked back to desire the life of those who had rejected the divine warning. Her sin showed her to be unworthy of life, for the preservation of which she felt so little gratitude. {CC 54.2}[3]

人的赎价是贵重的。基督为要拯救我们,已经付了无限的代价。凡是体会这伟大牺牲之价值以及人的灵魂之可贵的人,决不至因为别人轻视上帝的慈怜而也随着这样行的。(PP161,162){CC 54.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第49章
We should beware of treating lightly God’s gracious provisions for our salvation. There are Christians who say, “I do not care to be saved unless my companion and children are saved with me.” They feel that heaven would not be heaven to them without the presence of those who are so dear. But have those who cherish this feeling a right conception of their own relation to God, in view of His great goodness and mercy toward them? Have they forgotten that they are bound by the strongest ties of love and honor and loyalty to the service of their Creator and Redeemer? The invitations of mercy are addressed to all; and because our friends reject the Saviour’s pleading love, shall we also turn away? {CC 54.3}[4]
