奇妙的神恩-第143章
“你今日认耶和华为你的上帝,应许遵行祂的道,谨守祂的律例、诫命、典章,听从祂的话。耶和华今日照祂所应许你的,也认你为祂的子民,使你谨守祂的一切诫命”(申26:17-18)。{AG 150.1}[1]
奇妙的神恩-第143章
You have recognized the Lord this day as your God; you are to conform to his ways, to keep his statutes, his commandments, and his laws, and to obey him. The Lord has recognized you this day as his special possession, as he promised you, and to keep his commandments.Deuteronomy 26:17, 18, N.E.B.{AG 150.1}[1]
奇妙的神恩-第143章
如果我们要履行与上帝所立的约,对于我们的服务和资财就必须毫无保留。……上帝一切的诫命不仅向人显明对于上帝的责任,也显示了对于同胞的责任。在这人类历史的末叶,我们不可因为自己的私心去疑问或争执上帝提出这些要求的权利,否则我们就会欺骗自己,使自己失去了上帝恩惠最丰盛的福气。我们要尽心尽性尽意顺从上帝的旨意,这样,由无限的智慧所设计,由万王之王,万主之主的能力和权威所订立的圣约就会成为我们的喜乐。……祂只须说顺从祂的律法典章关系到祂子民的生存和繁荣就够了。{AG 150.2}[2]
奇妙的神恩-第143章
There must be no withholding on our part, of our service or our means, if we would fulfill our covenant with God.... The purpose of all God’s commandments is to reveal man’s duty not only to God, but to his fellow man. In this late age of the world’s history, we are not, because of the selfishness of our hearts, to question or dispute the right of God to make these requirements, or we will deceive ourselves, and rob our souls of the richest blessings of the grace of God. Heart and mind and soul are to be merged in the will of God. Then the covenant, framed from the dictates of infinite wisdom, and made binding by the power and authority of the King of kings and Lord of lords, will be our pleasure.... It is enough that He has said that obedience to His statutes and laws is the life and prosperity of His people.{AG 150.2}[2]
奇妙的神恩-第143章
上帝圣约的福气是相互性的。……上帝悦纳那些愿意为祂圣名的荣耀而工作,并使祂的名在背道和拜偶像的世界中得到称赞的人。祂必因祂遵守诫命的子民而得到崇扬,以致祂也能使他们“得称赞、美名、尊荣,超乎祂所造的万民之上”(申26:19)。{AG 150.3}[3]
奇妙的神恩-第143章
The blessings of God’s covenant are mutual.... God accepts those who will work for His name’s glory, to make His name a praise in a world of apostasy and idolatry. He will be exalted by His commandment-keeping people that He may make them “high above all nations which he hath made, in praise, and in name, and in honour” (Deuteronomy 26:19).{AG 150.3}[3]
奇妙的神恩-第143章
我们通过受洗严肃地承认和保证主耶和华是我们的统治者。我们实际上是奉圣父,圣子和圣灵的名庄严地宣誓:从今以后我们的生命要溶入这三大媒介的生命;我们在肉身活着,要忠心地顺从上帝的圣律法。我们宣布旧我已死,我们的生命与基督一同藏在上帝里面。从今以后我们要以新的生命与他同行,就象经历过新生的人一样。我们承认上帝与我们所立的约,保证追求上头的事。基督在那里坐在上帝的右边。我们承认自己的信仰,就是承认主为我们的上帝,愿意服从祂的一切命令。{MS 1907,67}{AG 150.4}[4]
奇妙的神恩-第143章
By our baptismal pledge we avouched and solemnly confessed the Lord Jehovah as our Ruler. We virtually took a solemn oath, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, that henceforth our lives would be merged into the life of these three great agencies, that the life we should live in the flesh would be lived in faithful obedience to God’s sacred law. We declared ourselves dead, and our life hid with Christ in God, that henceforth we should walk with Him in newness of life, as men and women having experienced the new birth. We acknowledge God’s covenant with us, and pledge ourselves to seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. By our profession of faith we acknowledged the Lord as our God, and yielded ourselves to obey His commandments.66{AG 150.4}[4]
