使我认识祂-第133章
“耶和华啊,我舌头上的话,祢没有一句不知道的”(诗139:4)。{TMK138.1}[1]
使我认识祂-第133章
There is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether.Psalm 139:4.{TMK 138.1}[1]
使我认识祂-第133章
我们每日每时都应意识到主就在近旁,祂看见我们一切所行的,也听见我们所说的每一句话。……无价值的、世俗的、非基督化的话语,都可称之为“凡火”,而上帝与此是全然无关的。高声狂闹的哄笑,乃是否认上帝在心灵居住的,因为这种作风显明真理并没有在心里作主。……由于我们无益的话语和非基督化的榜样,我们羞辱了上帝,而且不但危害自己的心灵,也危害了那与我们交往之人的心灵。{TMK138.2}[2]
使我认识祂-第133章
Every hour of the day we should realize that the Lord is near, that He sees all we do, and hears every word we utter.... Cheap, earthly, unchristian words may be represented as “strange fire,” and with this God can have nothing to do. The loud, boisterous laugh is a denial of God in the soul, for it reveals that the truth is not ruling in the heart.... By our vain words and unchristian example we dishonor God, and imperil not only our own souls but also the souls of those with whom we associate.{TMK 138.2}[2]

基督所给予世人的榜样,禁止一切轻浮与无价值的行为,而且人的生命若因上帝的恩惠而具有芬芳之气,这些质素就绝不至出现了。真实的愉快具有使人振奋的感化力,要从一切爱上帝并遵守祂诫命的人身上涌流出来。而这带有令人信服、使人悔改的能力。使徒说:“就当恐惧战兢,作成你们得救的工夫”(腓2:12)。为何当恐惧战兢呢?免得你因轻率,因无谓的言谈,因戏谑或嘲笑,误表了你圣善的信仰,致使他人误认为你所自称信服的真理在品格上毫无使人成圣的感化力。(《青年导报》1898年7月14日){TMK138.3}[3]
使我认识祂-第133章
The example which Christ has given to the world forbids all levity and cheapness, and if the life is made fragrant by the grace of God, these elements will not appear. A genuine cheerfulness, an uplifting influence, will flow forth from all who love God and keep His commandments. And this carries with it a convincing, converting power. “Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling” (Philippians 2:12), says the apostle. Why with fear and trembling? Lest you shall in any way misrepresent your holy faith by lightness, by trifling, by jesting or joking, and thus give others the impression that the truth which you profess has no sanctifying influence upon the character.14{TMK 138.3}[3]
使我认识祂-第133章
我们跟从基督,应当使自己的言语在基督徒的生活中发挥互相帮助和互相鼓励的作用。我们应当更多的讲述自己经验中的宝贵篇章,谈论上帝的怜悯和仁慈,以及救主之爱的无比深厚。我们的话应当是赞美和感谢的话。如果我们的心思意念中充满上帝的爱,就会在言谈中流露出来。……伟大的思想,崇高的抱负,对真理的清晰领悟,无私的目的,对敬虔与圣洁的向往,都会在言语上结出果子来,表明我们心中所珍重的品质。我们的言语如果这样显示基督,就能吸引人归向祂。(《基督比喻实训》第338页){TMK138.4}[4]
使我认识祂-第133章
As followers of Christ we should make our words such as to be a help and an encouragement to one another in the Christian life. Far more than we do, we need to speak of the precious chapters in our experience. We should speak of the mercy and loving-kindness of God, of the matchless depths of the Saviour’s love. Our words should be words of praise and thanksgiving. If the mind and heart are full of the love of God, this will be revealed in the conversation.... Great thoughts, noble aspirations, clear perceptions of truth, unselfish purposes, yearnings for piety and holiness, will bear fruit in words that reveal the character of the heart treasure. When Christ is thus revealed in our speech, it will have power in winning souls to Him.15{TMK 138.4}[4]
