“作传道的工夫,尽你的职分”(提后4:5)。[1]{FH 323.1}

Do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.2 Timothy 4:5.{FH 323.1}[1]
从心出发-第311章
基督的门徒必须肩负祂所留下的工作,奉祂的名予以推进。他们必惟独效法祂的言语、精神和作风。他们定睛在他们救恩元帅的身上。祂的旨意是他们的律法。他们在向前迈进时,必获得有关祂的圣颜,品格和荣耀更多更清晰的认识。他们不依靠自己,而依靠祂的圣言。祂的话就是灵,就是生命。“你们若常常遵守我的道,就真是我的门徒;你们必晓得真理,真理必叫你们得以自由”(约8:31,32)。他们将关于祂旨意的知识实践出来。他们聆听并遵行耶稣所教导的事。[2]{FH 323.2}
从心出发-第311章
Those who are Christ’s disciples will take the work where He left it and carry it forward in His name. They will copy the words, the spirit, the practices, of none but Him. Their eye is upon the Captain of their salvation. His will is their law. And as they advance, they catch more and clearer views of His countenance, of His character, of His glory. They do not cling to self, but hold fast His word, which is spirit and life. “If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” They reduce their knowledge of His will to practice. They hear and do the things that Jesus teaches.{FH 323.2}[2]
从心出发-第311章
爱上帝并遵守祂诫命的人要在教会里作工。人们所表白的信仰并不能证明他们是基督徒。他们所说的话也并不能证明他们已经悔改了。且听基督的话:“你们为什么称呼我‘主啊,主啊,’却不遵我的话行呢”(路6:46)?我们日常的生活若不符合基督的旨意和作为,就不能自称是上帝的儿女,天国的后嗣。有一种律法主义的宗教,是法利赛人所拥有的。但这种宗教并不给世人一个基督化的榜样;不代表基督的品格。那些有基督住在心里的人会做基督的工作。这样的人才有资格享有祂圣言的一切应许。他们既与基督合而为一,就遵行上帝的旨意,彰显祂恩典的丰盛。“那时你求告,耶和华必应允;你呼求,祂必说:我在这里”(赛58:9)。这是多么宝贵的应许啊!“你心若向饥饿的人发怜悯,使困苦的人得满足,你的光就必在黑暗中发现;你的幽暗必变如正午。耶和华也必时常引导你,在干旱之地使你心满意足,骨头强壮。你必象浇灌的园子,又象水流不绝的泉源”(赛58:10,11)。[3]{FH 323.3}

In the church is work for all who love God and keep His commandments. The profession people may make is not certain evidence that they are Christians. The words they may speak give no surety that they are converted. Hear the words of Christ, “Why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?” Unless the daily life conforms to the will and works of Christ, no one can establish a claim to be a child of God, an heir of heaven. There is a legal religion, which the Pharisees had, but such a religion does not give to the world a Christlike example; it does not represent Christ’s character. Those who have Christ abiding in the heart will work the works of Christ. Such are entitled to all the promises of His Word. Becoming one with Christ, they do the will of God and exhibit the riches of His grace. “Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am.” Oh, precious promise! “And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noon day: and the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.”{FH 323.3}[3]

上帝的仆人会歌唱道:“我要一心称谢你,……耶和华虽高,仍看顾低微的人;祂却从远处看出骄傲的人”(诗138:1,6),与恶人的劳骚报怨形成鲜明的对照。所以不要怀存一丝骄傲或自重的迹象,因为这会把耶稣挤到心外,让撒但的品性占据空间。——《评论与通讯》,1913年5月1日。[4]{FH 323.4}
从心出发-第311章
In marked contrast to the murmuring and complaining of the wicked, the servants of God will sing: “I will praise thee with my whole heart.... Though the Lord be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.” Then let not a semblance of pride or self-importance be cherished, for it will crowd Jesus out of the heart, and the vacuum will be filled with the attributes of Satan.—The Review and Herald, May 1, 1913.{FH 323.4}[4]
