  The testimonies also are my delight and my counsellors.Psalm 119:24.{RRe 327.1}[1]

开朗的宗教-第326章

  爱的律法既是上帝政权的基础，一切有理性之生灵的幸福，就在乎他们完全符合这律法的公义原则。上帝要一切受造之物以爱心事奉祂，就是因感戴祂的品德而事奉祂。祂不喜悦出乎勉强的顺从；所以祂赋予他们自由的意志，使他们可以出于自愿地事奉祂。（PP 34）[2]

开朗的宗教-第326章

  The law of love being the foundation of the government of God, the happiness of all intelligent beings depends upon their perfect accord with its great principles of righteousness. God desires from all His creatures the service of love,—a service that springs from an appreciation of His character. He takes no pleasure in a forced obedience; and to all He grants freedom of will, that they may render Him voluntary service.—Patriarchs and Prophets, 34.{RRe 327.2}[2]

  上帝在实行祂一切计划的时候，祂主要的目的是要试验人，给他们机会造就品格，藉此看看他们是顺从还是违背祂他命令。善行固然不能购买上帝的慈爱，但能表明我们拥有这爱。我们如果将心意顺服上帝，就不会为赚得上帝的爱而工作。我们必要将祂的爱心作为一种白白的恩赐而接到心中，并因爱祂而乐意顺从祂的命令。（COL283）[3]

开朗的宗教-第326章

  God’s great object in the working out of His providences is to try men, to give them opportunity to develop character. Thus He proves whether they are obedient or disobedient to His commands. Good works do not purchase the love of God; but they reveal that we possess that love. If we surrender the will to God, we shall not work in order to earn God’s love His love as a free gift will be received into the soul, and from, love to Him we shall delight to obey His commandments.—Christ’s Object Lessons, 283.{RRe 327.3}[3]
