Wages or Gift? November 1
奇妙的神恩-第306章
“因为罪的工价乃是死。惟有上帝的恩赐,在我们的主基督耶稣里,乃是永生”(罗6:23)。{AG 313.1}[1]
奇妙的神恩-第306章
The wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.Romans 6:23.{AG 313.1}[1]
奇妙的神恩-第306章
人本来赋有高尚的才能和均衡的心智。他身心完备,与上帝和谐;思想纯洁,志向圣善。但由于不顺从,他的才能败坏了。自私代替了爱心。他的本性因罪而削弱,靠自己的力量无法对抗邪恶的势力。要不是上帝的特别拯救,他将永远作撒但的奴仆。魔鬼的目的,就是破坏上帝创造人类的计划,使地球充满灾难和荒凉。{SC 17}{AG 313.2}[2]
奇妙的神恩-第306章
Man was originally endowed with noble powers and a well-balanced mind. He was perfect in his being, and in harmony with God. His thoughts were pure, his aims holy. But through disobedience, his powers were perverted, and selfishness took the place of love. His nature became so weakened through transgression that it was impossible for him, in his own strength, to resist the power of evil. He was made captive by Satan, and would have remained so forever had not God specially interposed. It was the tempter’s purpose to thwart the divine plan in man’s creation, and fill the earth with woe and desolation.1{AG 313.2}[2]
奇妙的神恩-第306章
就本性而论,我们是与上帝隔绝的。圣灵用这样的话描述我们的状况:“死在过犯罪恶之中”,“满头疼痛,全身发昏”,“没有一处完全的”(弗2:1;赛1:5,6)。……上帝希望医治我们,释放我们。但这要求彻底的改变和本性的更新,所以我们必须完全顺服祂。{AG 313.3}[3]
奇妙的神恩-第306章
By nature we are alienated from God. The Holy Spirit describes our condition in such words as these: “Dead in trespasses and sins;” “the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint;” “no soundness in it” (Ephesians 2:1;Isaiah 1:5, 6). We are held fast in the snare of Satan, “taken captive by him at his will” (2 Timothy 2:26). God desires to heal us, to set us free. But since this requires an entire transformation, a renewing of our whole nature, we must yield ourselves wholly to Him.{AG 313.3}[3]
奇妙的神恩-第306章
与自我作斗争,乃是世界上最大的战争。制服自我,完全顺从上帝的旨意.必须经过一番挣扎。我们的心在圣洁里更新之前,必须是先顺服上帝。……{AG 313.4}[4]
奇妙的神恩-第306章
The warfare against self is the greatest battle that was ever fought. The yielding of self, surrendering all to the will of God, requires a struggle; but the soul must submit to God before it can be renewed in holiness....{AG 313.4}[4]
奇妙的神恩-第306章
上帝并不强迫受造者的意志。祂不接受勉强和无意识的敬拜。出于强迫的顺从,会阻碍心灵或品格的真正发展,使人变成机械。这并不是创造主的本意。人类是上帝创造大能的杰作。上帝希望他们发展到尽可能高的水准。祂把最好的福分摆在我们面前,希望我们靠着祂的恩典而得到。祂邀请我们献身与祂,使祂的旨意能成就在我们身上。但我们是否愿意脱离罪的奴役,享受上帝儿子光荣的自由,则在于我们的选择。{SC 43}{AG 313.5}[5]
奇妙的神恩-第306章
God does not force the will of His creatures. He cannot accept an homage that is not willingly and intelligently given. A mere forced submission would prevent all real development of mind or character; it would make man a mere automaton. Such is not the purpose of the Creator. He desires that man, the crowning work of His creative power, shall reach the highest possible development. He sets before us the height of blessing to which He desires to bring us through His grace. He invites us to give ourselves to Him, that He may work His will in us. It remains for us to choose whether we will be set free from the bondage of sin, to share the glorious liberty of the sons of God.2{AG 313.5}[5]
