God’s Covenant
Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.Ezekiel 36:25.{WGD 71.1}[1]
黎明的灵修-第69章
我们陷入罪恶的深坑,不能自拔。我们的心是恶的,自己无法改变。……教育,文化.意志的操练,人为的努力,虽然有一定的作用,在这个问题上却是无能为力。这一切可以塑造正直的外表,却不能改变人的内心。……必须有一种内在的能力,有一个从上头来的新生命。这能力就是基督。只有祂的恩典,才能唤醒人心中没有生气的机能,使之归向上帝,成为圣洁。……[2]
黎明的灵修-第69章
It is impossible for us, of ourselves, to escape from the pit of sin in which we are sunken. Our hearts are evil, and we can not change them.... Education, culture, the exercise of the will, human effort, all have their proper sphere, but here they are powerless. They may produce an outward correctness of behavior, but they can not change the heart.... There must be a power working from within, a new life from above, before men can be changed from sin to holiness. That power is Christ. His grace alone can quicken the lifeless faculties of the soul, and attract it to God, to holiness....{WGD 71.2}[2]
黎明的灵修-第69章
只看到上帝的仁爱,看到祂良善的品格和慈父般的怜恤,这是不够的。只认识到上帝律法的智慧和公义,看到它以永远之爱的原则为基础,这也是不够的。使徒保罗认识到这一切之后感叹说,“我就应承律法是善的。”……但他痛失望地说:“我是属肉体的,是已经卖给罪了。”他渴望得到自己所无法获得的圣洁和公义,喊着说:“我真是苦啊,谁能救我脱离这取死的身体呢”(罗7:16,12,14,24)?历代以来,各处负重之人的心灵,都发出这样的呼吁。其唯一的答案就是:“看哪,上帝的羔羊除去世人罪孽的”(约l:29)。……基督用自己的功劳,构架了一座跨越罪恶深渊的桥粱,使服役的使者能与人类交通。基督把软弱无助的堕落人类与无穷能力的“源头”连结起来。(SC 20)[3]
黎明的灵修-第69章
It is not enough to perceive the loving-kindness of God, to see the benevolence, the fatherly tenderness, of His character. It is not enough to discern the wisdom and justice of His law, to see that it is founded upon the eternal principle of love. Paul the apostle saw all this when he exclaimed, “I consent unto the law that it is good.” ... But he added, in the bitterness of his soul-anguish and despair, “I am carnal, sold under sin.” He longed for the purity, the righteousness, to which in himself he was powerless to attain, and he cried out, “O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from this body of death?” Such is the cry that has gone up from burdened hearts in all lands and in all ages. To all there is but one answer, “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” ... With His own merits, Christ has bridged the gulf which sin had made, so that the ministering angels can hold communion with man. Christ connects fallen man in his weakness and helplessness with the Source of infinite power.—Steps to Christ, 20.{WGD 71.3}[3]
