奇妙的神恩-第6章
“耶稣回答说：我的国不属这世界”（约18:36）。{AG 13.1}[1]
奇妙的神恩-第6章
Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world.John 18:36.{AG 13.1}[1]
奇妙的神恩-第6章
上帝的国来到，不是眼所能看见的。上帝恩典的福音，具有一种舍己为人的精神，永不能和属世的精神协调。这两种原则是敌对的。……{AG 13.2}[2]
奇妙的神恩-第6章
The kingdom of God comes not with outward show. The gospel of the grace of God, with its spirit of self-abnegation, can never be in harmony with the spirit of the world. The two principles are antagonistic....{AG 13.2}[2]
奇妙的神恩-第6章
今日的宗教界中，有许多人自以为在为建立基督属世的国度而努力。他们想要使我们的主，成为这世界万国的统治者，管理其中的法庭、军营，议会、宫庭和商场。他们希望祂籍着律法和人的权威掌管天下。现在基督本人既不在人间，他们自己就要替祂执行祂国的律法。基督时代的犹太人所希望的，也就是建立这样的一个国度。那时只要耶稣愿意建立一个属世的国度，实施他们所认为是上帝的律法，并让他们解释祂的圣旨，执行祂的权柄，那么他们就必接待祂了。可是祂说：“我的国不属这世界”（约18:36）。祂不肯接受属世的王位。……{AG 13.3}[3]
奇妙的神恩-第6章
But today in the religious world there are multitudes who, as they believe, are working for the establishment of the kingdom of Christ as an earthly and temporal dominion. They desire to make our Lord the ruler of the kingdoms of this world, the ruler in its courts and camps, its legislative halls, its palaces and market places. They expect Him to rule through legal enactments, enforced by human authority. Since Christ is not now here in person, they themselves will undertake to act in His stead, to execute the laws of His kingdom. The establishment of such a kingdom is what the Jews desired in the days of Christ. They would have received Jesus, had He been willing to establish a temporal dominion, to enforce what they regarded as the laws of God, and to make them the expositors of His will and the agents of His authority. But He said, “My kingdom is not of this world.” He would not accept the earthly throne....{AG 13.3}[3]
奇妙的神恩-第6章
建立基督的国，不靠朝廷、议会或立法机关的决定，也不靠世上伟人的赞助，乃是靠圣灵的工作，在人心里培植基督的性格。……这就是救拔人类的唯一能力。人对于完成这工作所有的本分，就是传扬并实行上帝的道。……{AG 13.4}[4]
奇妙的神恩-第6章
Not by the decisions of courts or councils or legislative assemblies, not by the patronage of worldly great men, is the kingdom of Christ established, but by the implanting of Christ’s nature in humanity through the work of the Holy Spirit.... Here is the only power that can work the uplifting of mankind. And the human agency for the accomplishment of this work is the teaching and practicing of the Word of God....{AG 13.4}[4]
奇妙的神恩-第6章
现在正像基督的时代一样，上帝之国的工作不靠那些专求世上执政者和法律的承认和支持的人去推动，乃靠那些奉祂的名向人宣传属灵真理的人。这属灵的真理能使接受的人有保罗的经验：“我已经与基督同钉十字架：现在活着的，不再是我，乃是基督在我里面活着”（加2:20）。{DA 509，510}{AG 13.5}[5]
奇妙的神恩-第6章
Now, as in Christ’s day, the work of God’s kingdom lies not with those who are clamoring for recognition and support by earthly rulers and human laws, but with those who are declaring to the people in His name those spiritual truths that will work in the receivers the experience of Paul: “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me” (Galatians 2:20).6{AG 13.5}[5]
