开朗的宗教-第237章

  “你岂不知亘古以来，自从人生在地，恶人夸胜是暂时的，不敬虔人的喜乐不过转眼之间吗”（伯20:4,5）。[1]

开朗的宗教-第237章

  Knowest thou not this of old, since man was placed upon earth, that the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment??Job 20:4, 5.{RRe 238.1}[1]

开朗的宗教-第237章

  要在你寻欢作乐之时想一想这一切的事都有一个结局。如果你有正确的人生观，正确地认识与上帝在一起的无尽的生命，你就会多么迅速地转离享乐和罪恶的生活啊。你就会多么迅速地改变你的心意，你的行为和你的友伴，将你的情意之力转向上帝和天上的事啊。你就会多么坚决地不屑于屈服曾欺骗和掳掠你的种种试探啊。你就会多么热心努力争取有福人生啊；你就会多么恳切恒切地向上帝祈求祂的恩典常在你身上，祂的能力支持你帮助你抵挡魔鬼啊。你就会多么殷勤地善用每一宗教特权去学习上帝的道路和旨意啊。你就会多么仔细地默想上帝的律法，将你的生活与其要求相对照啊。你就会多么恐惧战兢，免得自己在言行上犯罪，多么恳切地要在恩典和真圣洁上长进啊。你的谈话就不会是轻浮无益的事，而是天上的事了。于是荣耀和永恒的事就会展开在你面前，你便不会安息，直到你在灵性上越发长进。但属世的事要求你的注意，上帝就被你忘记了。我劝你彻底回头，趁耶和华可寻找的时候寻找祂，相近的时候求告祂。（2T .290）[2]

开朗的宗教-第237章

  Think, oh, think, in your pleasure-seeking hours, that all these things have an end. Did you have correct views of life, endless life with God, how quickly would you turn from a life of pleasure and sin. How quickly would you change your mind, your course, and your company, and turn the strength of your affection to God and heavenly things. How resolutely would you scorn to yield to temptations which have deceived and captivated you. How zealous would be your efforts for the blessed life; how earnest and persevering your prayers to God for His grace to abide upon you, for His power to sustain you and help you resist the devil. How diligent would you be to improve every religious privilege to learn the ways and will of God. How careful would you be in meditating upon the law of God, and in comparing your life with its claims. How fearful would you be, lest you sin in word or deed, and how earnest to grow in grace and true holiness. Your conversation would not be on trifling things, but in Heaven. Then glorious and eternal things would open before you, and you would not rest until you should increase more and more in spirituality. But earthly things claim your attention, and God is forgotten. I implore you to face right about, and to seek the Lord, that He may be found of you; call upon Him while He is near.—Testimonies for the Church 2:290.{RRe 238.2}[2]
