Simple Faith Unites Us to God, December 21
高举主耶稣-第356章
“这样,你们向罪也当看自己是死的;向上帝在基督耶稣里,却当看自己是活的”(罗6:11)。{LHU369.1}
高举主耶稣-第356章
Count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Romans 6:11, NIV. {LHU 369.1}
高举主耶稣-第356章
我们正生活在世界历史上一个极严肃的时期。我们根本没有时间犯罪。继续犯罪是危险的。但从某种特殊的意义来说,目前的景况确实如此。我们现在正处在永恒世界的边缘,比以前任何时候都与今世与来世有着更严肃的关系了。现今但愿人人都省察己心,恳求公义的日头以明亮的光辉驱除一切属灵的黑暗,洁净一切的污秽。“我们若认自己的罪,上帝是信实的,是公义的,必要赦免我们的罪,洗净我们一切的不义”(约壹1:9)。藉着信而不管感觉如何,我们救恩的创始者、我们信心的成终者耶稣,要用祂宝贵的恩典,加强我们的道德力,使罪人可以“向罪看自己是死的,向上帝在基督耶稣里,却看自己是活的”(罗6:11)。单纯的信心,加上基督的爱在人心里,把信徒与上帝联合起来。当信徒作为基督的忠心士兵辛劳作战的时候,便是与忠心的全宇宙心心相印。服役的天使在他周围协同作战,所以他能大胆地说:“主是帮助我的,”“耶和华是我的力量,是我的盾牌。”我是不会被制胜的。“你们得救是本乎恩,也因着信,这并不是出于自己,乃是上帝所赐的”(来13:6;诗28:7;弗2:8)。{LHU369.2}
高举主耶稣-第356章
We are living in a most solemn period of this earth’s history. There is never time to sin; it is always perilous to continue in transgression; but in a special sense is this true at the present time. We are now upon the very borders of the eternal world and stand in a more solemn relation to time and to eternity than ever before. Now let every person search his own heart, and plead for the bright beams of the Sun of Righteousness to expel all spiritual darkness and cleanse from defilement. “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” Through faith, irrespective of feeling, Jesus, the Author of our salvation, the Finisher of our faith, will, by His precious grace, strengthen the moral powers, and the sinner may reckon himself “to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ.” Simple faith, with the love of Christ in the soul, unites the believer to God. While toiling in battle as a faithful soldier of Christ, he has the sympathy of the whole loyal universe. The ministering angels are round about him to aid in the conflict, so that he may boldly say, “The Lord is my helper,” “the Lord is my strength and my shield”; I shall not be overcome. “By grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.” {LHU 369.2}
高举主耶稣-第356章
上帝无穷的智慧和能力为我们施展。天军确实在为我们战斗。他们总是满怀关注之心,看顾着用救主宝血买来的人。他们从基督的牺牲,看出人灵魂的价值。不是半心半意,而是全心全意站在上帝一边,总是安全的。正是这种半心半意,漠不关心,漫不经心的做法,使你的心灵与你力量的源头耶稣隔绝。但愿你的祷告是:“从我这里拿去一切吧!让我失去财产,失去世上的尊荣,失去一切,只求祢与我同在。”把保守你心灵的事,交托给掌管宇宙天地的上帝是保险的。(TM147,148).{LHU369.3}
高举主耶稣-第356章
The infinite wisdom and power of God are exerted in our behalf. The heavenly host are surely fighting our battles for us. They are always looking with intense interest upon the souls purchased by the Saviour’s blood. They see, through the sacrifice of Christ, the value of the human soul. It is always safe to be on the Lord’s side, not halfheartedly, but wholly. It is this halfhearted, indifferent, careless work that separates your souls from Jesus, the source of your strength. Let this be your prayer: “Take everything from me, let me lose property, worldly honor, everything, but let Thy presence be with me.” It is safe to commit the keeping of the soul to God, who reigns over all heaven and earth (Testimonies to Ministers and Gospel Workers, 147, 148). {LHU 369.3}
高举主耶稣-第356章
要彻底悔改,相信我们的救主耶稣基督,警醒守望,不住祷告,殷勤查考圣经。上帝要我们对我们可用却没有用的才干负责。……我们所有的感化力都属于上帝。我们所获得的一切都要用来荣耀祂。主托付给我们的所有财产都要放在上帝的坛上,归还给祂。我们正在规划自己的命运。愿上帝帮助我们为永恒而作聪明的人。(TM147){LHU369.4}
高举主耶稣-第356章
There must be thorough repentance, faith in our Saviour Jesus Christ, vigilant watchfulness, unceasing prayer, and diligent searching of the Scriptures. God holds us responsible for all that we might be if we would improve our talents.... All our influence belongs to God. All that we acquire is to be used to His glory. All the property that the Lord has entrusted to us is to be held on the altar of God, to be returned to Him again. We are working out our own destiny. May God help us all to be wise for eternity (Testimonies to Ministers and Gospel Workers, 147). {LHU 369.4}
