使我认识祂-第257章
“大山可以挪开,小山可以迁移;但我的慈爱必不离开你,我平安的约也不迁移。这是怜恤你的耶和华说的”(赛54:10)。{TMK262.1}[1]
使我认识祂-第257章
For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee.Isaiah 54:10.{TMK 262.1}[1]
使我认识祂-第257章
我们不要认为上帝只是审判者,却忘记了祂是我们慈爱的天父。没有什么比这更危害我们的心灵了,因为我们对上帝品德的观念会造就我们整个的属灵生活。……{TMK262.2}[2]
使我认识祂-第257章
We are not to think of God only as a judge and to forget Him as our loving Father. Nothing can do our souls greater harm than this, for our whole spiritual life will be molded by our conceptions of God’s character....{TMK 262.2}[2]
使我认识祂-第257章
但愿我们利用宝贵的机会,开始认识我们的天父。祂“爱世人,甚至将祂的独生子赐给他们,叫一切信祂的,不至灭亡。……”奇哉,无穷上帝之爱,使我们有权称祂为父而亲近祂。属世的父亲劝戒犯错误的孩子,决不可能比造我们的主劝导犯错的人更加诚恳。人的仁爱关怀,决不可能将这样亲切的邀请向不知悔改的人发出。……{TMK262.3}[3]
使我认识祂-第257章
Now let us improve the precious opportunities to become acquainted with our heavenly Father, who “so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish....” Wondrous love that God, the infinite God, has made it our privilege to approach Him by the name of Father! No earthly parent could plead more earnestly with an erring child than He who made us pleads with the transgressor. No human, loving interest has ever followed the impenitent with such tender invitations....{TMK 262.3}[3]

祂的话乃是保证。大山可以挪开,小山可以迁移,但祂的慈爱必不离开祂的子民,祂平安的约也必不迁移。祂发出声音说:“我以永远的爱,爱你”(耶31:3)。“却要以永远的慈爱怜恤你”(赛54:8)。这是何等令人惊异的爱!上帝竟俯就世人,从他们的恐惧与软弱中除去一切疑问的理由,并握住凭着信心向祂伸出的颤抖的手。祂用加倍的保证和担保帮助我们信靠祂。祂以我们的顺从为条件,与我们订立了有约束性的约。祂还根据我们的对事物的理解迎合我们。我们认为自己同胞的保证或承诺虽有明文,仍需保证人。耶稣消除了这一切特殊的疑惧,用誓言保证祂应许的可靠:“上帝愿意为那承受应许的人,格外显明祂的旨意是不更改的,就起誓为证。……”(来7:17)。为了加强我们对祂应许的信心,我们的主还有什么可以做的呢?(《评论与通讯》1887年4月5日){TMK262.4}[4]
使我认识祂-第257章
His word is pledged. The mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed, but His kindness shall not depart from His people, neither shall the covenant of His peace be removed. His voice is heard, “I have loved thee with an everlasting love” (Jeremiah 31:3). “With everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee” (Isaiah 54:8). How amazing is this love, that God condescends to remove all cause for doubt and questioning from human fears and weakness and takes hold of the trembling hand reached up to Him in faith; and He helps us to trust Him by multiplied assurances and securities. He has made us a binding agreement upon condition of our obedience, and He comes to meet us in our own understanding of things. We think that a pledge or promise from our fellow men, if recorded, still needs a guarantee. Jesus has met all these peculiar fears, and He has confirmed His promise with an oath: “Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: ...” What more could our Lord do to strengthen our faith in His promises??15{TMK 262.4}[4]
