Adam and Eve—Rulers in Eden, February 1
奇妙的神恩-第33章
“上帝就照着自己的形像造人,乃是照着衪的形像造男造女。上帝就赐福给他们;又对他们说:要生养众多,遍满地面,治理这地,也要管理……地上各样行动的活物”(创1:27-28)。{AG 40.1}[1]
奇妙的神恩-第33章
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over ... every living thing that moveth upon the earth.Genesis 1:27, 28.{AG 40.1}[1]
奇妙的神恩-第33章
亚当被加冕为伊甸之王。他被授与对上帝所造一切生物的统治权。上帝赐给亚当和夏娃的智力是其他动物所没有的。祂让亚当合法地治理祂所创造的万物。(1BC1082){AG 40.2}[2]
奇妙的神恩-第33章
Adam was crowned king in Eden. To him was given dominion over every living thing that God had created. The Lord blessed Adam and Eve with intelligence such as He had not given to any other creature. He made Adam the rightful sovereign over all the works of His hands.1{AG 40.2}[2]
奇妙的神恩-第33章
亚当夏娃是按照“上帝的形像和荣耀”(林前11:7)所造的,得到了与他们的高贵命运相称的天赋。……思想和心灵的每一功能都反映出创造主的荣耀。亚当夏娃受造,仅“比天使微小一点”(来2:7),具有心智和心灵方面很高的禀赋。{Ed 20}{AG 40.3}[3]
奇妙的神恩-第33章
Created to be “the image and glory of God,” Adam and Eve had received endowments not unworthy of their high destiny.... Every faculty of mind and soul reflected the Creator’s glory. Endowed with high mental and spiritual gifts, Adam and Eve were made but “little lower than the angels.”2{AG 40.3}[3]
奇妙的神恩-第33章
我们的始祖被造的时候虽然是圣洁无罪的,却不是不可能犯错的。上帝使他们赋有自主的权力,能以认识上帝品德的智慧和慈爱,以及祂律法的公正,并在完全自由的情形之下或顺服或违背。他们能与上帝和圣天使交往。但在他们永保安全之前,他们的忠顺必须先受试验。在人类开始生活的时候,上帝就在他们自我放纵的欲念上加以限制。这个欲念就是撒但堕落的基本原因。伊甸园当中靠近生命树有一棵“分别善恶”的树。这树是要试验我们始祖的顺从、信心和爱心的。……上帝让人类受律法的约束,作为他生存的必要条件。他是上帝政权之下的子民。而任何政权都不能没有律法。……{AG 40.4}[4]
奇妙的神恩-第33章
Our first parents, though created innocent and holy, were not placed beyond the possibility of wrongdoing. God made them free moral agents, capable of appreciating the wisdom and benevolence of His character and the justice of His requirements, and with full liberty to yield or to withhold obedience. They were to enjoy communion with God and with holy angels; but before they could be rendered eternally secure, their loyalty must be tested. At the very beginning of man’s existence a check was placed upon the desire for self-indulgence, the fatal passion that lay at the foundation of Satan’s fall. The tree of knowledge, which stood near the tree of life in the midst of the garden, was to be a test of the obedience, faith, and love of our first parents.... God placed man under law, as an indispensable condition of his very existence. He was a subject of the divine government, and there can be no government without law....{AG 40.4}[4]
奇妙的神恩-第33章
如果亚当和他的伴侣能继续效忠上帝,他们就必管理全地。管理一切生物的无限大权已经赐给他们。狮子与羔羊和平相处地围着他们嬉戏,或一同卧在他们的脚前。快乐的雀鸟毫无畏惧地在他们头上跳跃。当它们宛转清脆的歌声升到造物主面前赞美祂的时候,亚当和夏娃也同声应和,感谢圣父和圣子。{PP48-50}{AG 40.5}[5]
奇妙的神恩-第33章
While they remained true to God, Adam and his companion were to bear rule over the earth. Unlimited control was given them over every living thing. The lion and the lamb sported peacefully around them, or lay ... Together at their feet. The happy birds flitted about them without fear; and as their glad songs ascended to the praise of their Creator, Adam and Eve united with them in thanksgiving to the Father and the Son.3{AG 40.5}[5]
