Chap.96 - Life Insurance
教会证言-卷一-第96章
我蒙指示见到，谨守安息日的复临信徒，不应当参加人寿保险。这乃是一种同世人交易而不蒙上帝认可的事。凡参加这种事业的人，乃是与世人联合，但上帝却是呼召祂的子民“务要从他们中间出来，与他们分别。”天使说：“你们是基督牺牲自己的生命所买来的。‘岂不知你们的身子就是圣灵的殿吗？这圣灵是从上帝而来，住在你们里头的；并且你们不是自己的人；因为你们是重价买来的：所以要在你们的身子上荣耀上帝。’‘因为你们已经死了，你们的生命与基督一同藏在上帝里面。基督是我们的生命，祂显现的时候，你们也要与祂一同显现在荣耀里’”（林前6:19,20;西3:3,4）。这就是上天所认可之唯一人寿保险。{1T 549.2}[1]
教会证言-卷一-第96章
I was shown that Sabbathkeeping Adventists should not engage in life insurance. This is a commerce with the world which God does not approve. Those who engage in this enterprise are uniting with the world, while God calls His people to come out from among them and to be separate. Said the angel: "Christ has purchased you by the sacrifice of His life. 'What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.' 'For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with Him in glory.'" Here is the only life insurance which heaven sanctions.{1T 549.2}[1]

人寿保险乃是一种属世的保险，会引那些参加此事的本会弟兄们，离开福音的简朴与纯洁。这种每一步的离道，都要削弱我们的信仰，及减短我们的灵命。天使说道：“惟有你们是被拣选的族类，是有君尊的祭司，是圣洁的国度，是属上帝的子民，要叫你们宣扬那召你们出黑暗入奇妙光明者的美德”（彼前2:9）。我们这一班人乃是在一种特殊的意义上属于主的。基督已买了我们。大能的天使环围着我们。没有一只雀鸟落在地上，而不先经天父的留意。甚至连我们的头发也都被数过了。上帝为祂的子民已有了供备。祂已特别照顾他们，因此他们不应藉着参加世俗的保险来表现出不信任祂的美意。{1T 550.1}[2]
教会证言-卷一-第96章
Life insurance is a worldly policy which leads our brethren who engage in it to depart from the simplicity and purity of the gospel. Every such departure weakens our faith and lessens our spirituality. Said the angel: "But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into His marvelous light." As a people we are in a special sense the Lord's. Christ has bought us. Angels that excel in strength surround us. Not a sparrow falls to the ground without the notice of our heavenly Father. Even the hairs of our head are numbered. God has made provision for His people. He has a special care for them, and they should not distrust His providence by engaging in a policy with the world.{1T 550.1}[2]
教会证言-卷一-第96章
上帝规定我们这等人应当在简朴与圣洁中保持本会的特色。凡参加这种世俗保险的人，乃是把属上帝的钱财，也就是祂托付他们用于教会及用于推进圣工的钱，拿来投资。然而能从人寿保险而得酬报的人，真是很少，而且若没有上帝的赐福，纵有这些也终必显出是害多益少。凡被上帝任为祂管家的人，是无权将上帝所托付他们要用于祂圣工的钱财，置于仇敌之辈的手中的。{1T 550.2}[3]
教会证言-卷一-第96章
God designs that we should preserve in simplicity and holiness our peculiarity as a people. Those who engage in this worldly policy invest means which belong to God, which He has entrusted to them to use in His cause, to advance His work. But few will realize any returns from life insurance, and without God's blessing even these will prove an injury instead of a benefit. Those whom God has made His stewards have no right to place in the enemy's ranks the means which He has entrusted to them to use in His cause.{1T 550.2}[3]
教会证言-卷一-第96章
撒但不断地向上帝的选民发出诱惑，使他们的心不为将来的大事作严肃的准备工作。他是一个地地道道的骗子，一个奸诈的迷惑者。他用从天上盗来的光明外衣来掩饰自己的计划和网罗。他曾引诱夏娃去吃禁果，使她相信自己会因此大得益处。他也让自己的爪牙向人介绍各种新发明，成品专利权以及其它事业，使急欲发财的安息日复临信徒上当受骗，陷入网罗，被许多愁苦刺透了。他十分警觉地忙于领导顺从世俗的人，并借着属世的爪牙，时常表现一种讨人喜欢的兴奋精神，引诱那些不警觉的自命相信真理的人与世俗联合。眼目的情欲和寻求刺激及悦人娱乐的欲望，对于上帝的子民乃是一种试探和网罗。撒但有许多精心编织的危险网罗，表面上看没有害处，他却奸巧地利用来冲昏上帝子民的头脑。有许多动人的表演，娱乐，骨相讲座，以及数不清的其它玩艺层出不穷，蓄意引领上帝的子民去爱世界和世界上的事。因着与世界联合，信心就变得软弱了，本来应投在现代真理事业上的钱却投入仇敌的队伍中去。撒但正在狡诈地利用这些不同的途径榨取上帝子民的钱包，主也因此而不喜悦他们。{1T 550.3}[4]
教会证言-卷一-第96章
Satan is constantly presenting inducements to God's chosen people to attract their minds from the solemn work of preparation for the scenes just in the future. He is in every sense of the word a deceiver, a skillful charmer. He clothes his plans and snares with coverings of light borrowed from heaven. He tempted Eve to eat of the forbidden fruit by making her believe that she would be greatly advantaged thereby. Satan leads his agents to introduce various inventions and patent rights and other enterprises, that Sabbathkeeping Adventists who are in haste to be rich may fall into temptation, become ensnared, and pierce themselves through with many sorrows. He is wide awake, busily engaged in leading the world captive, and through the agency of worldlings he keeps up a continual pleasing excitement to draw the unwary who profess to believe the truth to unite with worldlings. The lust of the eye, the desire for excitement and pleasing entertainment, is a temptation and snare to God's people. Satan has many finely woven, dangerous nets which are made to appear innocent, but with which he is skillfully preparing to infatuate God's people. There are pleasing shows, entertainments, phrenological lectures, and an endless variety of enterprises constantly arising calculated to lead the people of God to love the world and the things that are in the world. Through this union with the world, faith becomes weakened, and means which should be invested in the cause of present truth are transferred to the enemy's ranks. Through these different channels Satan is skillfully draining the purses of God's people, and for it the displeasure of the Lord is upon them. {1T 550.3}[4]
