8月18日赐生命的气氛

A Life-giving Atmosphere, August 18

“感谢上帝，常帅领我们在基督里夸胜，并借着我们在各处显扬那因认识基督而有的香气。因为我们在上帝面前，无论在得救的人身上，或灭亡的人身上，都有基督馨香之气。在这等人，就作了死的香气叫他死，在那等人，就作了活的香气叫他活”（林后2:14-15）。{AG 238.1}[1]

Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place. For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish.2 Corinthians 2:14, 15.{AG 238.1}[1]

上帝赐下自己的儿子这个无比的恩赐，就是把整个世界都包围在恩惠的气氛中，如同地球为大气层所包围一样。凡愿意吸取这赐生命之空气的人都必得生，并在基督耶稣里逐渐长大成人。{SC 68}{AG 238.2}[2]

In the matchless gift of His son, God has encircled the whole world with an atmosphere of grace as real as the air which circulates around the globe. All who choose to breathe this life-giving atmosphere will live, and grow up to the stature of men and women in Christ Jesus.49{AG 238.2}[2]

那些作基督代表的人所表现的性情与品格的美，乃是一切艺术的美所不能比拟的。惟有环绕信徒心灵的恩惠气氛，以及圣灵在人心中的运行，才能使他成为活的香气叫人活，并使上帝赐福与他的工作。{COL 298}{AG 238.3}[3]

Not all the beauty of art can bear comparison with the beauty of temper and character to be revealed in those who are Christ’s representatives. It is the atmosphere of grace which surrounds the soul of the believer, the Holy Spirit working upon mind and heart, that makes him a savor of life unto life, and enables God to bless his work.50{AG 238.3}[3]

品格的变化，乃是向世人证明有基督之爱在心中。主希望祂的子民向人表现恩典的救赎大能，可感化有过错之人的品格，并使之有匀称的发展，结果累累。……{AG 238.4}[4]

Transformation of character is to be the testimony to the world of the indwelling love of Christ. The Lord expects His people to show that the redeeming power of grace can work upon the faulty character and cause it to develop in symmetry and abundant fruitfulness....{AG 238.4}[4]

当上帝的恩典掌管人内心时，人就被信心，勇气和基督化之爱的空气所包围，这种空气会使所有吸入它的人属灵生命强健。……主会使用那些内心谦卑的人去接触任命的传道人所无法接触的人。他们将受感说出显示基督拯救恩典的话来。{AG 238.5}[5]

When the grace of God reigns within, the soul will be surrounded with an atmosphere of faith and courage and Christlike love, an atmosphere invigorating to the spiritual life of all who inhale it.... Those who are humble in heart the Lord will use to reach souls whom the ordained ministers cannot approach. They will be moved to speak words which reveal the saving grace of Christ.{AG 238.5}[5]

在为他人谋福时，他们自己也要蒙福。上帝赐给我们机会分赠恩惠，以便祂可以使我们充满更大量的恩惠。为上帝服务的媒介在利用上帝所供备的才干与便利时，希望与信心就必加强。上帝也必赐神圣的能力与他同工。{6T 43，44}{AG 238.6}[6]

And in blessing others they will themselves be blessed. God gives us the opportunity to impart grace, that He may refill us with increased grace. Hope and faith will strengthen as the agent for God works with the talents and facilities that God has provided. He will have a divine agency to work with him.51{AG 238.6}[6]

那些因真理成圣的人，将对世界发挥圣洁的感化力。全地要被恩典的氛围所环绕。圣灵要在人心里运行，将属上帝的事指示他们。{9T 40}{AG 238.2}[7]

A holy influence is to go forth to the world from those who are sanctified through the truth. The earth is to be encircled with an atmosphere of grace. The Holy Spirit is to work on human hearts, taking the things of God and showing them to men.52{AG 238.7}[7]
