开朗的宗教-第100章

  “你们若为基督的名受辱骂，便是有福的；因为上帝荣耀的灵常住在你们身上”（彼前4:14）。[1]

  If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part He is evil spoken of, but on your part He is glorified.1 Peter 4:14.{RRe 101.1}[1]

  世人喜爱罪恶，恨恶正义，这就是他们与耶稣为敌的原因。凡不接受祂无穷之爱的人，会觉得基督教是搅扰人的。基督的光驱散那遮掩他们罪恶的黑暗，显明他们有改革的必要。顺服圣灵感化的人，既开始与自己作战，那些依恋罪恶的人，就与真理和真理的代表对抗了。[2]

开朗的宗教-第100章

  The world loves sin, and hates righteousness, and this was the cause of its hostility to Jesus. All who refuse His infinite love, will find Christianity a disturbing element. The light of Christ sweeps away the darkness that covers their sins, and the need of reform is made manifest. While those who yield to the influence of the Holy Spirit begin war with themselves, those who cling to sin war against the truth and its representatives.{RRe 101.2}[2]

  这样，斗争就起来了。跟从基督的人，就被诬告为使众人遭灾的祸根。然而世人之所以仇视他们，乃是因为他们与上帝相交。他们是在忍受基督所受的凌辱，走世上最尊贵的一位所踏过的路径。他们遭遇逼迫之时，不必忧愁，倒要快乐。每一次火炼的试验，都是上帝在熬炼他们，使他们配担任与上帝同工的任务。每一次的奋斗，在维持正义的大战中，都有它的作用，都足以增加他们最后胜利的快乐。有了这种观念，圣徒就能欣然接受信心和忍耐的试炼，而不畏缩逃避了。（DA 306）[3]

开朗的宗教-第100章

  Thus strife is created, and Christ’s followers are accused as troublers of the people. But it is fellowship with God that brings them the world’s enmity. They are bearing the reproach of Christ. They are treading the path that has been trodden by the noblest of the earth. Not with sorrow, but with rejoicing, should they meet persecution. Each fiery trial is God’s agent for their refining. Each is fitting them for their work as co-laborers with Him. Each conflict has its place in the great battle for righteousness, and each will add to the joy of the final triumph. Having this in view, the test of their faith and patience will be cheerfully accepted rather than dreaded and avoided.—The Desire of Ages, 306.{RRe 101.3}[3]
