你必得能力-第34章
“就如上帝从创立世界以前,在基督里拣选了我们,使我们在祂面前成为圣洁,无有瑕疵”(弗1:4)。[1]
你必得能力-第34章
According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love.Ephesians 1:4.{YRP 41.1}[1]
你必得能力-第34章
我们应该相信自己是上帝所拣选的,靠赖基督的恩典和圣灵的工作,以及信心的运用而得救,并为上帝白赐之恩典的神奇显示而赞美荣耀祂。上帝的爱吸引人归向基督,为要仁慈地接纳他,把他呈献给天父。藉着圣灵的工作,上帝与罪人的关系得以重建。我们的天父说:“我要作他们的上帝,他们要作我的子民。我要以饶恕的爱爱他们,把我的喜乐赐给他们。他们要作属我的子民;这百姓是我为自己所造的,好述说我的美德”(见耶30:22;31:1,3,33;出19:5;赛43:21)。{YRP 41.1}[2]
你必得能力-第34章
We are to believe that we are chosen of God to be saved by the exercise of faith, through the grace of Christ and the work of the Holy Spirit; and we are to praise and glorify God for such a marvelous manifestation of His unmerited favor. It is the love of God that draws the soul to Christ to be graciously received and presented to His Father. Through the work of the Holy Spirit, the divine relationship between God and the sinner is renewed. Our heavenly Father says, “I will be to them a God, and they shall be to Me a people. I will exercise forgiving love toward them, and bestow upon them My joy. They shall be to Me a peculiar treasure; for this people whom I have formed for Myself shall show forth My praise” (see:?Jeremiah 30:22;31:1, 33;Exodus 19:5).{YRP 41.2}[2]

基督正呼召人到祂面前来,我们去听从和响应这呼召,是为了我们现今和永恒的利益。耶稣说:“不是你们拣选了我,是我拣选了你们”(约15:16)。那么就让凡愿意被称为上帝儿女的人都响应基督的邀请吧,并且置身于天国的亮光会照在他们身上之处,就是会使他们认识到何为听见并遵行基督话语、何为跟随世界的光并且在爱子里得蒙悦纳之处。{YRP 41.2}[3]
你必得能力-第34章
Christ is calling souls to come unto Him, and it is for our present and eternal interest to hear and respond to the call. Jesus says, “Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you” (John 15:16). Then let all who would be called children of God respond to the invitation of Christ, and place themselves where the light of heaven will shine upon them, where they will realize what it is to be hearers and doers of the words of Christ, what it is to follow the Light of the world, and be accepted in the Beloved.{YRP 41.3}[3]
你必得能力-第34章
上帝已经行了祂为救赎人类所能行的一切事。在一个丰富的礼物里,祂倾尽了天国的宝库。祂邀请,祂恳求,祂力劝;但祂绝不强迫人们来归向祂。祂等待他们的合作。祂等待意志的允许,以便祂能赐与罪人祂在创世之时就为他们准备的丰富恩典。……主并未计划人的力量必须瘫痪;而是要借着与上帝合作,使人在祂的手上成为更有功效的媒介。……主赐给人与祂合伙的特权。(The Messenger,1893.4.26){YRP 41.3}[4]
你必得能力-第34章
Everything that God could do has been done for the salvation of man. In one rich gift He poured out the treasures of heaven. He invites, He pleads, He urges; but He will not compel men to come unto Him. He waits for their cooperation. He waits for the consent of the will, that He may bestow upon the sinner the riches of His grace, reserved for him from the foundation of the world.... The Lord does not design that human power should be paralyzed; but that by cooperation with God, man may become a more efficient agent in His hands.... The Lord holds out to man the privilege of copartnership with Himself.—The Messenger, April 26, 1893.{YRP 41.4}[4]
