Choose Christ for Yourself, November 22
高举主耶稣-第327章
“你们……今日就可以选择所要侍奉的”(书24:15)。{LHU340.1}
高举主耶稣-第327章
Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve. Joshua 24:15, NIV. {LHU 340.1}
高举主耶稣-第327章
为了拯救人类,上帝使用了各种力量。祂藉着祂的圣言和祂的传道人向他们说话,祂也藉着祂的圣灵向他们传达警告、责备与教导的信息。这一切都是为了启迪人们的悟性,向他们显明他们的责任和罪过,以及他们可以获得的福气,在他们的内心唤起一种属灵需求感,使他们转向基督并在祂里面寻得所需要的恩典。但是许多人都选择随从他们自己的道路,而不是上帝的道路。他们没有与上帝和好,也不能与祂和好,除非他们把自我钉死,让基督因信住在他们心里。{LHU340.2}
高举主耶稣-第327章
To effect the salvation of men, God employs various agencies. He speaks to them by His Word and by His ministers, and He sends by the Holy Spirit messages of warning, reproof, and instruction. These means are designed to enlighten the understanding of the people, to reveal to them their duty and their sins, and the blessings which they may receive; to awaken in them a sense of spiritual want, that they may go to Christ and find in Him the grace they need. But many choose to follow their own way instead of God’s way. They are not reconciled to God, neither can be, until self is crucified and Christ lives in the heart by faith. {LHU 340.2}
高举主耶稣-第327章
每一个人,凭着自己的作为,要么因不肯怀有基督的精神、不效法祂的榜样而离弃祂,要么因放弃自我、信心和顺从而与基督建立亲密的关系。我们务须各自选择基督,因祂已经先选择了我们。那些生来与基督为敌的人,必须与祂建立这种联合的关系。这是一种全然依赖的关系,是一颗骄傲的心所必须与主建立的。这是一番缜密的工作,许多自称跟从基督的人却毫无所知。他们在名义上接受了救主,可是并不将祂当作他们心中唯一的主宰。{LHU340.3}
高举主耶稣-第327章
Every individual, by his own act, either puts Christ from him by refusing to cherish His spirit and follow His example, or he enters into a personal union with Christ by self-renunciation, faith, and obedience. We must, each for himself, choose Christ, because He has first chosen us. This union with Christ is to be formed by those who are naturally at enmity with Him. It is a relation of utter dependence, to be entered into by a proud heart. This is close work, and many who profess to be followers of Christ know nothing of it. They nominally accept the Saviour, but not as the sole ruler of their hearts. {LHU 340.3}
高举主耶稣-第327章
有些人感到自己需要赎罪,既认出这种需要,内心也愿望改变,就开始了一场挣扎。要放弃他们自己的意愿,或许是他们所选择的喜爱或追求的对象,是需要付出一定的努力的,许多人对此望而生畏,犹犹豫豫,却步不前。然而每一个真正悔改的人,都必须打这一仗。我们必须和里里外外的试探争战,我们必须战胜自我,将感情和私欲钉死在十字架上;然后心灵开始与基督的联合。正如外表上看起来已经没有生命的枯干的葡萄树枝子,嫁接到活的葡萄树上那样,我们也可以成为真葡萄树的活枝子。基督所结的果子,就会在一切跟随祂的人身上结出来。这样的联合一旦形成,就只能用继续不断的,诚恳实在的,辛勤艰苦的努力,来加以维持保守。基督运用祂的能力,来保守卫护这种神圣的连结。无助的罪人也必须以不倦的努力尽自己的本分。……{LHU340.4}
高举主耶稣-第327章
Some feel their need of the atonement, and with the recognition of this need, and the desire for a change of heart, a struggle begins. To renounce their own will, perhaps their chosen objects of affection or pursuit, requires an effort, at which many hesitate and falter and turn back. Yet this battle must be fought by every heart that is truly converted. We must war against temptations without and within. We must gain the victory over self, crucify the affections and lusts; and then begins the union of the soul with Christ. As the dry and apparently lifeless branch is grafted into the living tree, so may we become living branches of the True Vine. And the fruit which was borne by Christ will be borne by all His followers. After this union is formed, it can be preserved only by continual, earnest, painstaking effort. Christ exercises His power to preserve and guard this sacred tie, and the dependent, helpless sinner must act his part with untiring energy.... {LHU 340.4}
高举主耶稣-第327章
每一个基督徒都必须不断地警惕,看守心灵的每一个通道,就是撒但可能找到入口之处。基督徒必须祈求神圣的帮助,同时坚决抵制每一犯罪的倾向。借着勇气、信心和坚忍的勤劳,他就能获得胜利。但他仍须记住,要获得胜利,就必须有基督住在他里面,他也必须住在基督里面。……我们惟有藉着个人与基督的联合,藉着每日每时与祂交往,才能结出圣灵的果子来。(5T.46-48).{LHU340.5}
高举主耶稣-第327章
Every Christian must stand on guard continually, watching every avenue of the soul where Satan might find access. He must pray for divine help and at the same time resolutely resist every inclination to sin. By courage, by faith, by persevering toil, he can conquer. But let him remember that to gain the victory Christ must abide in him and he in Christ.... It is only by personal union with Christ, by communion with Him daily, hourly, that we can bear the fruits of the Holy Spirit (Testimonies for the Church 5:46-48). {LHU 340.5}
