Sonship, February 14
奇妙的神恩-第46章
“凡接待祂的,就是信祂名的人,祂就赐他们权柄,作上帝的儿女”(约1:12)。{AG 53.1}[1]
奇妙的神恩-第46章
As many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.John 1:12.{AG 53.1}[1]
奇妙的神恩-第46章
亚当的罪使人类陷入绝望的悲惨之中。上帝本来可以切断与堕落人类的关系,给他们以罪人应有的待遇,命令天上的使者将祂忿怒之杯倾倒在我们的世界。祂完全可以从祂的宇宙中抹去这个污点。但祂没有这样做。祂没有将他们从祂面前驱逐出去,反而与堕落的人类更加亲近,赐下祂的儿子来作我们的骨中之骨,肉中之肉。“道成了肉身,住在我们中间,充充满满地有恩典,有真理”(约1:14)。基督藉着祂与人类的关系,吸引他们归向上帝。祂用人性的衣袍覆蔽了祂的神性,在宇宙和未曾堕落的诸世界面前,显示上帝是多么地爱世人。{AG 53.2}[2]
奇妙的神恩-第46章
When Adam’s sin plunged the race into hopeless misery, God might have cut Himself loose from fallen beings. He might have treated them as sinners deserved to be treated. He might have commanded the angels of heaven to pour out upon our world the vials of His wrath. He might have removed this dark blot from His universe. But He did not do this. Instead of banishing them from His presence, He came still nearer to the fallen race. He gave His Son to become bone of our bone and flesh of our flesh. “The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, ... full of grace and truth” (John 1:14). Christ by His human relationship to men drew them close to God. He clothed His divine nature with the garb of humanity, and demonstrated before the heavenly universe, before the unfallen worlds, how much God loves the children of men.{AG 53.2}[2]
奇妙的神恩-第46章
上帝给人类的恩赐是无法计算,毫无保留的。上帝不容许人说祂还可以为人提供更多的帮助,或向人彰显更大的爱。祂赐下基督,就是赐下了整个天庭。{SD11}{AG 53.3}[3]
奇妙的神恩-第46章
The gift of God to man is beyond all computation. Nothing was withheld. God would not permit it to be said that He could have done more or revealed to humanity a greater measure of love. In the gift of Christ He gave all heaven.26{AG 53.3}[3]
奇妙的神恩-第46章
我们不可能靠着自己而成为上帝的儿女。只有接受基督为个人救主的人,才能有权柄作上帝的儿女。罪人靠自己的力量无法摆脱罪恶。……成为上帝儿女的应许是赐给一切“信祂名的人”。凡凭信心来到耶稣面前的人,都能得到赦免。{SD 12}{AG 53.4}[4]
奇妙的神恩-第46章
Divine sonship is not something that we gain of ourselves. Only to those who receive Christ as their Saviour is given the power to become sons and daughters of God. The sinner cannot, by any power of his own, rid himself of sin.... But the promise of sonship is made to all?who believe on His name.” Every one who comes to Jesus in faith will receive pardon.27{AG 53.4}[4]
奇妙的神恩-第46章
上帝要在基督里显现,“叫世人与自己和好”(林后5:19)。人类已经因罪而败坏堕落,以致靠自己不可能与本性纯洁良善的上帝和好。但基督既救赎人类脱离律法的刑罚,就能将上帝的能力赐给人,与人的力量合作。这样,亚当堕落的儿女就能藉着向上帝悔改,并信靠基督,再成为“上帝的儿女”(约壹3:2)。{PP 64}{AG 53.5}[5]
奇妙的神恩-第46章
God was to be manifest in Christ, “reconciling the world unto himself” (2 Corinthians 5:19). Man had become so degraded by sin that it was impossible for him, in himself, to come into harmony with Him whose nature is purity and goodness. But Christ, after having redeemed man from the condemnation of the law, could impart divine power to unite with human effort. Thus by repentance toward God and faith in Christ the fallen children of Adam might once more become “sons of God.”28{AG 53.5}[5]
奇妙的神恩-第46章
当一个人接受基督时,他就接受了能力过基督的生活。{COL 314}{AG 53.6}[6]
奇妙的神恩-第46章
When a soul receives Christ, he receives power to live the life of Christ.29{AG 53.6}[6]
