MR No. 369 - The Bible and the Law
文稿发布-第06卷-第21章
上帝的律法涉及人们的内心活动和外在表现。它辨明人心中的思念、主意和目的。一个人可能犯了只有上帝才知道的罪。上帝的律法确实监察人心。人心中有嫉妒、报复、憎恨、恶意、淫欲和野心等黑暗情欲被遮掩起来叫人看不见,但那伟大的自有永有者却全知道。已经想犯罪,可是却因为缺乏机会还没有行出来。上帝的律法对这一切都作了记录。这些隐密的罪形成品格。上帝的律法不仅谴责我们已经做的,而且谴责我们还没有做成的。我们在最后算账的日子,必发现疏忽之罪与已犯的罪一样被记录下来。人所做的事,连一切隐藏的事,上帝都要审问。你凭自己的品格量度证明你所做的肯定没错是不够的。一个人没有做肯定是善良的事,这就足以定他为又恶又赖的仆人。{6MR141.1}[1]

God's law reaches to the internal as well as to the external actions of men. It is a discerner of the thoughts and intents and purposes of the soul. A man may be guilty of sins which God alone knows. God's law is indeed a searcher of hearts. There are dark passions of jealousy and revenge and hatred and malignity, lust, and wild ambition that are covered up from human observation and the great I AM knows it all. Sins have been contemplated and yet not carried out for want of opportunity. God's law makes a record of all these. These hidden away, secret sins form character. The law of God condemns not only what we have done but what we have not done. We will, in the day of final accounts, find a register of the sins of omission as well as the sins of commission. God will bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing. It is not enough that by your own measurement of character you prove you have done no positive wrong. The fact that one has done no positive good will be enough to condemn him as a wicked and slothful servant. {6MR 141.1}[1]

没有一个人能靠行律法称义。律法中没有能力拯救违背律法的人。人在犯罪之后,若能靠自己最大的努力遵守律法,耶稣就不必死了。人就能靠着自己的功劳说:“我是无罪的。”上帝决不会把律法降低到人的标准,人也决不会提起自己去响应律法的完美要求。但基督来到我们的世界,付了罪人的债务,承受了违犯律法的刑罚,满足了公义,现在罪人就可以支取基督的义了。“罪在哪里显多,恩典就更显多了”(罗5:20)。{6MR141.2}[2]

By the deeds of the law shall no flesh be justified. There is no power in law to save the transgressor of law. If man, after his transgression, could have been saved by his utmost energy to keep the law, then Jesus need not have died. Man could have stood on his own merits and said, "I am sinless." God will never bring down the law to man's standard and man can never lift himself up to answer to its claims of perfection. But Christ comes to our world and pays the sinner's debt, suffers the penalty for transgression of the law and satisfies justice, and now the sinner may claim the righteousness of Christ. "Where sin abounded, grace did much more abound." Romans 5:20. {6MR 141.2}[2]

但恩典并不是来作罪人继续犯罪的理由。上帝的恩典并不贬低律法,而是坚固律法的不变性。在这里“慈爱和诚实彼此相遇;公义和平安彼此相亲”(诗85:10)。上帝看到祂的儿子在十字架上死去而感到满足,耶稣便被称作“耶和华我们的义”(耶23:6)。那么就让罪人凭信支取一位被钉死之救赎主流血的功劳用于己身吧——“耶和华我们的义。”(《文稿》1889年第30号,第21,22页,〈继明尼阿波利斯会议之后的经历〉,1889年6月){6MR142.1}[3]

But grace does not come in to excuse the sinner in the continuance of sin. God's grace does not detract from the law, but establishes the law as changeless in its character. Here "mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other." Psalms 85:10. God looks upon His Son dying upon the cross and is satisfied, and Jesus is called "the Lord our righteousness." Then let the sinner by faith appropriate the merits of the blood of a crucified Redeemer to his own case--"the Lord my righteousness."--Ms 30, 1889, pp. 21, 22. ("Experience Following the Minneapolis Conference," June, 1889.) {6MR 142.1}[3]

我很欣慰时候已经到来,有些事件将激励我们的信徒去亲自查考我们信仰的各要点。……我的呼吁一直是:要亲自查考圣经!亲自查明主是怎么说的。任何人都不是我们的权威。如果他是从圣经领受的亮光,我们也可以到同一个源头领受亮光和证据,来支持我们所信之道。圣经教导说,我们当存温柔敬畏的心,说出我们心中盼望的缘由。(《信函》1888年第7号,3,4页,致希利弟兄,1888年12月9日)1974年4月16日发表。{6MR142.2}[4]

I am glad that a time has come when something will stir our people to investigate the points of our faith for themselves. . . . My cry has been: Investigate the Scriptures for yourselves, and know for yourselves what saith the Lord. No man is to be authority for us. If he has received his light from the Bible so may we also go to the same source for light and proof to substantiate the doctrines which we believe. The Scriptures teach that we should give a reason of the hope that is within us with meekness and fear.--Letter 7, 1888, pp. 3, 4. (To Brother Healey, December 9, 1888.) Released April 16, 1974. {6MR 142.2}[4]
