11月24日摧毁自私与种族歧视

Prejudice and Racism Destroyed, November 24

“你们受洗归入基督的，都是披戴基督了。并不分犹太人、希腊人、自主的、为奴的、或男或女，因为你们在基督耶稣里都成为一了”（加3:27,28）。[1]

For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.Galatians 3:27, 28.{YRP 337.1}[1]

上帝不承认任何国籍、种族或阶级的区别。祂是全人类的创造主。普世人类都因创造而成为一家，并因救赎而成为一体。基督来，是要拆毁每一道隔墙，敞开圣殿中的间隔，使每一个人都可以自由地到上帝面前来。（COL 386）{YRP 337.1}[2]

No distinction on account of nationality, race, or caste, is recognized by God. He is the Maker of all mankind. All men are of one family by creation, and all are one through redemption. Christ came to demolish every wall of partition, to throw open every compartment of the temple, that every soul may have free access to God.—Christ’s Object Lessons, 386.{YRP 337.2}[2]

圣经的宗教不承认阶级或种族；也不分地位、财产和世俗尊荣的高低。在上帝眼中，人就是人。在衪看来，品格决定人的价值。并且基督的灵无论在谁里面表现出来，我们都要承认。（9T 223）{YRP 337.2}[3]

The religion of the Bible recognizes no caste or color. It ignores rank, wealth, worldly honor. God estimates men as men. With Him, character decides their worth. And we are to recognize the Spirit of Christ in whomsoever He is revealed.—Testimonies for the Church 9:223.{YRP 337.3}[3]

如此，基督设法向门徒说明一个真理：在上帝的国没有疆域的界限，没有阶级的划分，也没有贵贱的区别。门徒必须到世界各国去，将救主慈爱的信息传给一切人类。（AA 20）{YRP 337.3}[4]

Thus Christ sought to teach the disciples the truth that in God’s kingdom there are no territorial lines, no caste, no aristocracy; that they must go to all nations, bearing to them the message of a Saviour’s love.—The Acts of the Apostles, 20.{YRP 337.4}[4]

当真正的布道精神进入人心时，那派别、阶级和种族的隔墙将被摧毁。偏见为上帝的爱所融化。（RH.1896.1.21）{YRP 337.4}[5]

The walls of sectarianism and caste and race will fall down when the true missionary spirit enters the hearts of men. Prejudice is melted away by the love of God.—The Review and Herald, January 21, 1896.{YRP 337.5}[5]

隔离之墙曾在白人与黑人之间竖立。当基督徒顺从上帝的话时，这些偏见的墙将自我倒塌，有如耶利哥城一般，因为上帝的道要求他们将至高的爱，归于他们的创造主，而把无私的爱，分给他们的邻人。（RH.1895.12.17）{YRP 337.5}[6]

Walls of separation have been built up between the whites and the blacks. These walls of prejudice will tumble down of themselves as did the walls of Jericho, when Christians obey the Word of God, which enjoins on them supreme love to their Maker and impartial love to their neighbors—The Review and Herald, December 17, 1895.{YRP 337.6}[6]

当圣灵沛降时，博爱的精神就必战胜偏见，为拯救人类的灵魂而生效。上帝将在人们心中作王，人们就会满有爱心，如同基督爱我们一样。对黑白人种的界线问题也将有大异于今日的改观。基督化的爱心能把人的思想提高到一种纯洁、属天、无私的境界！（9T 209）{YRP 337.6}[7]

When the Holy Spirit is poured out, there will be a triumph of humanity over prejudice in seeking the salvation of the souls of human beings. God will control minds. Human hearts will love as Christ loved. And the color line will be regarded by many very differently from the way in which it is now regarded. To love as Christ loves lifts the mind into a pure, heavenly, unselfish atmosphere.—Testimonies for the Church 9:209.{YRP 337.7}[7]
