The Principle of Love in the Law, May 17
高举主耶稣-第138章
“我们爱,因为上帝先爱我们”(约壹4:19)。{LHU151.1}
高举主耶稣-第138章
We love him, because he first loved us.1 John 4:19.{LHU 151.1}[1]
高举主耶稣-第138章
人如果没有改变,就不能证明他已经真正悔改了。如果罪人“还人的当头和所抢夺的”(结33:15),承认自己的罪,爱上帝和他的同胞,就可以确知他已经出死入生了。{LHU151.2}
高举主耶稣-第138章
There is no evidence of genuine repentance unless it works reformation. If he restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, confess his sins, and love God and his fellowmen, the sinner may be sure that he has passed from death unto life.{LHU 151.2}[2]
高举主耶稣-第138章
当我们这有过犯,有罪孽的人来到基督面前,领受祂赦罪之恩的时候,在我们心中就会萌发出爱来。一切担子都轻省了,因为基督的轭是容易的。我们必乐意负责任和作出牺牲。过去似乎被黑暗所笼罩的道路,在公义日头的照耀之下,成为光明大道。{LHU151.3}
高举主耶稣-第138章
When, as erring, sinful beings, we come to Christ and become partakers of His pardoning grace, love springs up in the heart. Every burden is light, for the yoke that Christ imposes is easy. Duty becomes a delight, and sacrifice a pleasure. The path that before seemed shrouded in darkness, becomes bright with beams from the Sun of Righteousness.{LHU 151.3}[3]
高举主耶稣-第138章
从基督徒的身上,将看到基督品格的美。基督乐意遵行上帝的旨意。爱上帝,为祂的荣耀发热心,是我们救主生活最主要的动机。爱使祂的一举一动显得美丽和高尚。爱是从上帝来的。一颗没有奉献给主的心决不会产生或发动这种爱。唯有一颗有耶稣在里面作王的心,才会有这样的爱。“我们爱,因为上帝先爱我们”(约壹4:19)。在一颗因上帝的恩典而更新的心里,爱是行动的原则。它必塑造人的品格,管理人的冲动,控制人的欲望,征服人的敌意,并且使人的情操高尚。这种爱珍藏在人心中,必使整个人生甘甜,并在周围的人身上发挥高尚的影响。{LHU151.4}
高举主耶稣-第138章
The loveliness of the character of Christ will be seen in His followers. It was His delight to do the will of God. Love to God, zeal for His glory, was the controlling power in our Saviour’s life. Love beautified and ennobled all His actions. Love is of God. The unconsecrated heart cannot originate or produce it. It is found only in the heart where Jesus reigns. “We love, because he first loved us” (1 John 4:19, RV). In the heart renewed by divine grace, love is the principle of action. It modifies the character, governs the impulses, controls the passions, subdues enmity, and ennobles the affections. This love, cherished in the soul, sweetens the life and sheds a refining influence on all around.{LHU 151.4}[4]
高举主耶稣-第138章
上帝的儿女,尤其是那些刚信靠祂思典的人,需要特别防止两种错误。第一种……就是专注于自己的行为,相信能靠自己的努力与上帝和好。其实人想依靠自己遵守律法,使自己成圣,是在尝试那不可能的事。离开基督,人无论作什么事,都沾染着自私和罪恶。只有信靠基督的思典,我们才能成圣。{LHU151.5}
高举主耶稣-第138章
There are two errors against which the children of God—particularly those who have just come to trust in His grace—especially need to guard. The first ... is that of looking to their own works, trusting to anything they can do, to bring themselves into harmony with God. He who is trying to become holy by his own works in keeping the law, is attempting an impossibility. All that man can do without Christ is polluted with selfishness and sin. It is the grace of Christ alone, through faith, that can make us holy.{LHU 151.5}[5]
高举主耶稣-第138章
另一种相反的错误也有同样的危险,即认为只要信基督,就可以不遵守上帝的律法;以为既然只有凭着信心才能领受基督的思典,我们自己的行为就与得救无关。{LHU151.6}
高举主耶稣-第138章
The opposite and no less dangerous error is that belief in Christ releases men from keeping the law of God; that since by faith alone we become partakers of the grace of Christ, our works have nothing to do with our redemption.{LHU 151.6}[6]
高举主耶稣-第138章
然而要知道顺从不是外表的形式,而是出于爱心的侍奉。上帝的律法是祂本性的表达,是伟大之爱原则的具体表现。因此也是祂天上地下政权的基础。如果我们的心已经按照上帝的形像更新,上帝的爱已栽培在我们心中,我们在生活上难道不会遵守上帝的律法吗?当爱的原则栽培在人心中,人按照创造主的形像得到更新时,新约的应许就实现了。……顺从——出于爱心的事奉和效忠——是信徒的真正标志。(SC.59,60).{LHU151.7}
高举主耶稣-第138章
But notice here that obedience is not a mere outward compliance, but the service of love. The law of God is an expression of His very nature; it is an embodiment of the great principle of love, and hence is the foundation of His government in heaven and earth. If our hearts are renewed in the likeness of God, if the divine love is implanted in the soul, will not the law of God be carried out in the life? When the principle of love is implanted in the heart, when man is renewed after the image of Him that created him, the new covenant promise is fulfilled.... Obedience—the service and allegiance of love—is the true sign of discipleship (Steps to Christ, 59, 60).{LHU 151.7}[7]
