Salvation Is the Gift of God, March 3
黎明的灵修-第62章
“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;也不是出于行为,免得有人自夸”(弗2:8,9)。[1]

Salvation
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.”Ephesians 2:8, 9.{WGD 64.1}[1]
黎明的灵修-第62章
救恩是白白赐给人的,但它也要经过交易。在经营上帝恩赐的市场上,贵重的珍珠可以不用银钱,不用价值而得到。在这个市场上,所有的人都可以获得天国的货物。真理珠宝的仓库向所有的人敞开。主说:“看哪,我在你面前给你一个敞开的门,是无人能关的”(启3:8)。也没有刀剑把守通往那门的道路。从门内和门口有许多声音发出说:来吧。我们的救主诚恳和蔼地邀请我们:“我劝你向我买火炼的金子,叫你富足”(启3:8,18)。[2]
黎明的灵修-第62章
Salvation is a free gift, and yet it is to be bought and sold. In the market of which divine mercy has the management, the precious pearl is represented as being bought without money and without price. In this market all may obtain the goods of heaven. The treasury of the jewels of truth is open to all. “Behold, I have set before thee an open door,” the Lord declares, “and no man can shut it.” No sword guards the way through this door. Voices from within and at the door say, Come. The Saviour’s voice earnestly and lovingly invites us: “I counsel thee to buy of Me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich.”{WGD 64.2}[2]
黎明的灵修-第62章
基督的福音是人人都可以获得的福惠。最贫穷的人和最富足的人一样能够购买救恩,因为救恩不是靠任何数量的属世财富来购买的。唯有甘心顺从,献身给基督,作祂所买来的产业,才能得到救恩。教育,即使是最高的教育,也不能使一个人更加接近上帝。法利赛人曾享有各种属世和属灵的特权。他们骄傲地自夸:我们“是富足,已经发了财,一样都不缺。”其实他们是“困苦,可怜,贫穷,瞎眼,赤身的”(启3:11)。……[3]
黎明的灵修-第62章
The gospel of Christ is a blessing that all may possess. The poorest are as well able as the richest to purchase salvation, for no amount of worldly wealth can secure it. It is obtained by willing obedience, by giving ourselves to Christ as His own purchased possession. Education, even of the highest class, can not of itself bring a man nearer to God. The Pharisees were favored with every temporal and every spiritual advantage, and they said with boastful pride, We are “rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing;” yet they were “wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.” ...{WGD 64.3}[3]
黎明的灵修-第62章
我们不能赚取救恩,但我们必须用极大的兴趣和毅力来寻求它,即使为了它而舍弃一切属世的财富。……不要以为拥有属世或属灵方面的有利条件,就会为你赚得救恩。上帝所要的,乃是你乐意的顺从。祂要你放弃罪恶。(COL 117)[4]
黎明的灵修-第62章
We can not earn salvation, but we are to seek for it with as much interest and perseverance as though we would abandon everything in the world for it.... Abandon the idea that temporal or spiritual advantages will win for you salvation. God calls for your willing obedience. He asks you to give up your sins.—Christ’s Object Lessons, 116, 117.{WGD 64.4}[4]
