开朗的宗教-第118章
“凡管教的事,当时不觉得快乐,反觉得愁苦;后来却为那经练过的人,结出平安的果子,就是义”(来12:11)。[1]
开朗的宗教-第118章
Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: but nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.Hebrews 12:11.{RRe 119.1}[1]
开朗的宗教-第118章
基督徒所受的忧患,逆境及辱骂等苦难,都是上帝指定使糠秕与麦子分开的方法。我们的骄傲,自私,恶欲,及贪爱世俗欢乐之心都必须予以制服;因此上帝便打发苦难来试验我们,使我们知道在自己的品格中有这些弊病。我们应当靠着主的恩典及能力得胜,脱离世上从情欲来的败坏,与上帝的性情有分。保罗说:“我们这至暂至轻的苦楚,要为我们成就极重无比永远的荣耀。原来我们不是顾念所见的,乃是顾念所不见的;因为所见的是暂时的,所不见的是永远的”(林后4:17-18)。苦楚,艰难,试探,逆境,及各种的磨练,都是上帝的工匠,要修炼我们,圣化我们,并使我们配被收进天仓。(3T 115)[2]
开朗的宗教-第118章
The trials to which Christians are subjected in sorrow, adversity, and reproach, are the means appointed of God to separate the chaff from the wheat. Our pride, selfishness, evil passions, and love of worldly pleasure, must all be overcome; therefore God sends us afflictions to test and prove us, and show us that these evils exist in our characters. We must overcome through His strength and grace, that we may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.{RRe 119.2}[2]

我们可爱的救主要在我们最需要的时候来援助我们。那走向天国的路因有了祂的足迹而成为神圣。一切伤害我们脚的荆棘也曾伤害祂的脚。我们蒙召去背负的每一个十字架,祂都已在我们前头背负过了。耶和华让斗争兴起,为要预备人心得享平安。(GC 633)[3]
开朗的宗教-第118章
“For our light affliction,” says Paul, “which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we look not at the things which are seen but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.” Afflictions, crosses, temptations, adversity, and our varied trials, are God’s workmen to refine us, sanctify us, and fit us for the heavenly garner.—Testimonies for the Church 3:115.{RRe 119.3}[3]
