MR No. 510 - Methods for Reaching Unbelievers
文稿发布-第07卷-第83章
在上帝的眷佑之下,那些担负祂圣工的人,一直在努力给老的工作方法注入新的生命,同时制订新的计划,发明新的方法,以引起教会信徒的关注,采取联合行动接触世人。接触非信徒的新计划之一,就是传道收割运动。在过去几年里,这种方法在许多地方获得了成功。它不单将福气带给许多人,又增加了教会库房的收入。那些与我们信仰不同的人,既听到第三位天使的信息在异教之地的进展,就起了同情之心。一些人追求更多地学习那具有改变人心和生活之能的真理。信息传给了各阶层的男女。上帝的圣名得到了荣耀。{7MR363.1}[1]

In the providence of God, those who are bearing the burden of His work have been endeavoring to put new life into old methods of labor, and also to invent new plans and new methods of awakening the interest of church-members in a united effort to reach the world. One of the new plans for reaching unbelievers is the Harvest Ingathering Campaign for Missions. In many places, during the past few years, this has proved a success, bringing blessing to many, and increasing the flow of means into the mission treasury. As those not of our faith have been made acquainted with the progress of the third angel's message in heathen lands, their sympathies have been aroused, and some have sought to learn more of the truth that has such power to transform hearts and lives. Men and women of all classes have been reached, and the name of God has been glorified. {7MR 363.1}[1]

在过去的年间,我曾表示赞成一项计划,就是把我们教会的工作和进展,告诉我们的朋友和邻舍。我举了尼希米的例子。现在我要恳劝弟兄姊妹重新研究这位有信心、常常祷告、判断正确之人的经验。他曾大胆地要求他的朋友亚达薛西王帮助推进上帝的圣工。要让大家明白,信徒们在将我们的工作需要告诉别人的时候,惟有象古时的尼希米那样与上帝亲近,常与众光的赐予者保持密切的联络,才能把光反射给别人。我们如果想争取别人摆脱错谬接受真理,我们自己的心灵就必须扎根在真理的知识之上。现今我们需要殷勤查考圣经。这样,当我们与非信徒交往时,就能向他们高举那位受膏、被钉十架和复活的救主。祂是众先知和信徒所见证的。我们靠着祂的名罪得赦免。{7MR363.2}[2]

In years past, I have spoken in favor of the plan of presenting our mission work and its progress before our friends and neighbors, and have referred to the example of Nehemiah. And now I desire to urge our brethren and sisters to study anew the experience of this man of prayer and faith and sound judgment, who made bold to ask his friend, King Artaxerxes, for help with which to advance the interests of God's cause. Let all understand that in presenting the needs of our work, believers can reflect light to others, only as they, like Nehemiah of old, draw nigh to God, and live in close connection with the Giver of all light. Our own souls must be firmly grounded in a knowledge of the truth, if we would win others from error to truth. We need now to search the Scriptures diligently, that, as we become acquainted with unbelievers, we may hold up before them Christ as the anointed, the crucified, the risen Saviour, witnessed to by prophets, testified of by believers, and through whose name we receive the forgiveness of our sins. {7MR 363.2}[2]

当我们对别人高举髑髅地十字架时,我们会发现这也提升了我们。每个信徒现在都要信守自己的本分和立场,获得基督在世从事救灵工作的灵感。我们需要基督化的热情,忍耐到底,始终仰望那位看不见的主。我们务必重燃信心。无论我们在何处,无论我们有何机遇,无论是受限还是自由,我们都应发挥积极向善的影响。{7MR364.1}[3]

As we exalt the cross of Calvary before others, we shall find that it exalts us. Let every believer now stand in his lot and place, catching the inspiration of the work that Christ did for souls while in this world. We need the ardor of the Christian here who endures to the end, ever beholding Him who is invisible. Our faith must have a resurrection. Wherever we are, and whatever our opportunities, whether limited or extended, we are to exert a positive influence for good. {7MR 364.1}[3]

为了执行上帝的旨意,与祂同工,没必要让所有的信徒都按一种方法或沿着相同的路线工作。不应设置精确的路线。要让圣灵指引每位工人,要让每个人都乐意听从那些被拣选领导教会各种活动之人的建议。这样真理就会永远处于有利地位。有些人能用最好的方法倡导真理,不用争论或说教的方式,而是通过实行真理的原则,过谦卑和朴素的生活,始终不渝地做温柔谦卑的基督门徒。特别是对于那些不能为自己的信仰给出明智的理由,那些虽有热心却不是按着真知识的人来说确实如此。这种信徒要少为我们的信仰辩护,多学习圣经,用他们的行为来雄辩地见证真理给乐意的心和生活所带来的为善的力量。(《文稿》1914年第2号“接触不信者的献身努力”,1914年6月5日打字)1977年1月18日发布。{7MR364.2}[4]

In order to fulfill the purpose of God as laborers together with Him, it is not necessary that all believers work in the same manner or along similar lines. No precise lines are to be laid down. Let the Holy Spirit direct each worker; and let each be willing to listen to the counsel of those who have been chosen to lead out in the various activities of the church. Thus the truth will ever stand on vantage ground. Some can best recommend the truth, not by argument or talk, but by living the principles of truth, by leading a modest, humble life as consistent disciples of the meek and lowly Christ. Especially is this true of those who are unable to give an intelligent reason for their faith, and of those who have a zeal not according to knowledge. Such believers should talk less in vindication of our faith, and study their Bible more, letting their deportment bear eloquent testimony to the power for good which the truth exercises on the willing heart and life.--Ms 2, 1914. ("Consecrated Efforts to Reach Unbelievers," typed June 5, 1914.) Released January 18, 1977. {7MR 364.2}[4]
