你必得能力-第72章
“所以,你们或吃或喝,无论做什么,都要为荣耀上帝而行”(林前10:31)。[1]
你必得能力-第72章
Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.1 Corinthians 10:31.{YRP 79.1}[1]
你必得能力-第72章
上帝要求所有的人都将他们的身体当作活祭献上,而不是死的或是濒临死亡的祭物,因他们自己的行为而衰弱、充满污秽和疾病的祭物。上帝要的是活祭。祂告诉我们,身体是圣灵的殿,是祂灵的居所,祂要求人人都为了侍奉祂和荣耀祂而妥善照管自己的身体。使徒保罗受圣灵感动说:“你们不是自己的人,因为你们是重价买来的,所以要在你们的身子上荣耀上帝”(林前6:19-20)。为此我们要有了德行,又要加上知识,有了知识,又要加上节制,有了节制,又要加上忍耐。{YRP 79.1}[2]
你必得能力-第72章
God requires all men to render their bodies to Him a living sacrifice, not a dead or a dying sacrifice, a sacrifice which their own course of action is debilitating, filling with impurities and disease. God calls for a living sacrifice. The body, He tells us, is the temple of the Holy Ghost, the habitation of His Spirit, and He requires all who bear His image to take care of their bodies for the purpose of His service and His glory. “Ye are not your own,” says the inspired apostle, “ye are bought with a price”; wherefore “glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s” (1 Corinthians 6:19, 20). In order to do this, add to virtue knowledge, and to knowledge temperance, and to temperance patience.{YRP 79.2}[2]
你必得能力-第72章
我们有责任知道如何保持身体处于最佳的健康状态,而将上帝惠赐的亮光实行出来,则是一项神圣的职责。如果我们闭起眼睛不看真光,恐怕看到我们不愿丢弃的错误,我们的罪就不会减少而会增加。我们若在一件事上背弃光明,就会在另一件事上漠视它。{YRP 79.2}[3]
你必得能力-第72章
It is a duty to know how to preserve the body in the very best condition of health, and it is a sacred duty to live up to the light which God has graciously given. If we close our eyes to the light for fear we shall see our wrongs, which we are unwilling to forsake, our sins are not lessened but increased. If light is turned from in one case, it will be disregarded in another.{YRP 79.3}[3]
你必得能力-第72章
违背生命的律法和违背十诫中的任何一条罪都是一样大,因为我们这样做就不能不违背上帝的律法。我们在喜爱自己的食欲、自己的口味,远远大于喜爱上帝时,就无法尽心、尽性、尽力、尽意爱主。上帝要求我们尽力尽意,我们却在每天削弱自己要用来荣耀上帝的力量。我们因着错误的习惯正在放松对生命的把握,同时却还自称是跟随基督的,正在为最终变为不朽作预备。……{YRP 79.3}[4]
你必得能力-第72章
It is just as much sin to violate the laws of our being as to break one of the Ten Commandments, for we cannot do either without breaking God’s law. We cannot love the Lord with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength while we are loving our appetites, our tastes, a great deal better than we love the Lord. We are daily lessening our strength to glorify God, when He requires all our strength, all our mind. By our wrong habits we are lessening our hold on life, and yet professing to be Christ’s followers, preparing for the finishing touch of immortality....{YRP 79.4}[4]
你必得能力-第72章
要仔细审查你们自己的心,并在你们的生活中效法那位决无错误的榜样,你们的一切就会好起来。要在上帝面前存无亏的良心。在你们所行的一切事上荣耀上帝的名,除去你们的自私自利和自私的爱。(2T.70,71){YRP 79.4}[5]
你必得能力-第72章
Closely examine your own hearts, and in your lives imitate the unerring Pattern, and all will be well with you. Preserve a clear conscience before God. In all you do glorify His name. Divest yourselves of selfishness and selfish love.—Testimonies for the Church 2:70, 71.{YRP 79.5}[5]
