使我认识祂-第157章
“直等到我们众人在真道上同归于一,认识上帝的儿子,得以长大成人,满有基督长成的身量”(弗4:13)。{TMK162.1}[1]

Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ.Ephesians 4:13.{TMK 162.1}[1]
使我认识祂-第157章
永恒的重大问题,要求我们有比想像的宗教更具体的经历。庄严的崇拜仪式和堂皇的奉献礼节并不构成世界的光,可是虽被人以观赏美妙的图画或可爱的鲜花一般景仰羡慕,却并没有深入心灵内殿的真理,竟被许多人认为是对崇拜者的全部要求了。……{TMK162.2}[2]
使我认识祂-第157章
The tremendous issues of eternity demand of us something more than an imaginary religion. A stately form of worship and high devotional ceremonies do not constitute a light to the world, and yet truth that is looked upon and admired in the same way as a beautiful picture or lovely flower, and not brought into the inner sanctuary of the soul, is thought by many to be all that is required in a worshiper....{TMK 162.2}[2]

当我们从门进城之时,才会永远得救。那时我们可以因为已经得救——永远的得救而欢喜快乐。但是在那时来临之前,我们仍需留意使徒的劝告,说:“我们既蒙留下有进入祂安息的应许,就当畏惧,免得我们中间,或有人似乎是赶不上了”(来4:1)。拥有关乎迦南的知识,诵唱迦南的诗歌,欣然指望要进入迦南地,并没有使以色列民得以进入应许之地的葡萄园和橄榄园。他们惟有占领迦南地,遵顺所指定的条件,运用对于上帝活泼的信心,将祂的应许据为己有,这些美物才实际上成为属于他们的。……{TMK162.3}[3]
使我认识祂-第157章
We shall be saved eternally when we enter in through the gates into the city. Then we may rejoice that we are saved, eternally saved. But until then we need to heed the injunction of the apostle, and to “fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of us should seem to come short of it” (Hebrews 4:1). Having a knowledge of Canaan, singing the songs of Canaan, rejoicing in the prospect of entering into Canaan, did not bring the children of Israel into the vineyards and olive groves of the Promised Land. They could make it theirs in truth only by occupation, by complying with the conditions, by exercising living faith in God, by appropriating His promises to themselves....{TMK 162.3}[3]

基督是我们信心的创始成终者,当我们归顺祂手的引导时,就必在恩典和认识我们主救主的知识上稳定地长进。我们要继续进步,直至达到满有基督长成的身量。那生发仁爱并洁净心灵的信心,驱除那导致违背并干犯上帝律法的喜爱犯罪的心。藉着圣灵为媒介,品格便得以变化,人的心志和意愿都完全归服神圣的旨意,而这就是与公义的神圣标准符合一致。基督要向如此得以变化的人说:“那些洗净自己衣服的有福了,可得权柄能到生命树那里,也能从门进城”(启22:14)。(《青年导报》1896年2月17日){TMK162.4}[4]
使我认识祂-第157章
Christ is the author and finisher of our faith, and when we yield to His hand we shall steadily grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour. We shall make progress until we reach the full stature of men and women in Christ. Faith works by love, and purifies the soul, expelling the love of sin that leads to rebellion against, and transgression of, the law of God.... Through the agency of the Holy Spirit the character is transformed and the mind and will of the human agent are brought into perfect conformity to the divine will, and this is conformity to the divine standard of righteousness. To those who are thus transformed Christ will say, “Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city” (Revelation 22:14).6{TMK 162.4}[4]
