你必得能力-第328章
“那许多信的人都是一心一意的,没有一人说他的东西有一样是自己的,都是大家公用”(徒4:32)。[1]
你必得能力-第328章
And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that aught of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.Acts 4:32.{YRP 335.1}[1]
你必得能力-第328章
经上说:“内中也没有一个缺乏的。”经上也说明当时的需要是怎样解决的。信徒中有钱财和产业的人都欢欢喜喜地乐意献上所有,应付急需。他们把田产房屋都卖了,将价银拿来,放在使徒脚前,“照各人所需要的,分给各人”(徒4:34,35)。{YRP 335.1}[2]
你必得能力-第328章
The record declares, “Neither was there any among them that lacked,” and it tells how the need was filled. Those among the believers who had money and possessions cheerfully sacrificed them to meet the emergency. Selling their houses or their lands, they brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet, “and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need” (Acts 4:34, 35).{YRP 335.2}[2]

信徒这种慷慨的精神乃是圣灵沛降的结果,信从福音的人“都是一心一意的。”有一个共同的旨趣振奋着他们,就是完成那交付他们的使命;所以贪婪的罪在他们生活中没有立足之地。他们对于弟兄和对于圣工所存的爱心,胜过喜爱钱财产业的心。他们的行为证明他们看人的灵魂比属世的财富更为宝贵。{YRP 335.2}[3]
你必得能力-第328章
This liberality on the part of the believers was the result of the outpouring of the Spirit. The converts to the gospel were “of one heart and of one soul.” One common interest controlled them—the success of the mission entrusted to them; and covetousness had no place in their lives. Their love for their brethren and the cause they had espoused was greater than their love of money and possessions. Their works testified that they accounted the souls of men of higher value than earthly wealth.{YRP 335.3}[3]
你必得能力-第328章
每当上帝的灵控制了人的生活时,其必然结果就是如此。凡是心里充满基督之爱的人必要跟从那为我们成了贫穷、叫我们因祂的贫穷可以成为富足的主所留下的榜样。他们之所以重视自己从上帝所领受的钱财、光阴和影响力,只是因为他们考虑这一切在推动福音的圣工上所有的价值。早期的教会就是如此;而且世人若能在今日的教会中看到教友因圣灵的能力而转离世俗,甘心牺牲,使同胞可以听到福音,那时所传的真理必能在听众身上发挥强大的力量。(AA 71,72){YRP 335.3}[4]
你必得能力-第328章
Thus it will ever be when the Spirit of God takes possession of the life. Those whose hearts are filled with the love of Christ will follow the example of Him who for our sake became poor, that through His poverty we might be made rich. Money, time, influence—all the gifts they have received from God’s hand, they will value only as a means of advancing the work of the gospel. Thus it was in the early church; and when in the church of today it is seen that by the power of the Spirit the members have taken their affections from the things of the world, and that they are willing to make sacrifices in order that their fellow men may hear the gospel, the truths proclaimed will have a powerful influence upon the hearers.—The Acts of the Apostles, 70, 71.{YRP 335.4}[4]
