“你们必须重生”(约3:7)。[1]
我们回天家-第111章
You must be born again.—John 3:7.{HB 128.1}[1]
我们回天家-第111章
我们都必须像尼哥底母那样,甘愿承认自己是罪魁,才能进入生命。除了基督,别无拯救,“因为在天下人间,没有赐下别的名,我们可以靠着得救”(徒4:12)。我们因着信心而领受上帝的恩典,但信心不是我们的救主。信心不能使我们赚得什么。信心乃是握住基督的一只手,用以领取祂的功劳作为救治罪恶的良药。我们若没有上帝圣灵的帮助,就不可能悔改。圣经论到基督说:“上帝且用右手将祂高举,叫祂作君王,作救主,将悔改的心和赦罪的恩,赐给以色列人”(徒5:31)。悔改的心和赦罪的恩,都是基督所赐的。{HB128.2}[2]
我们回天家-第111章
Like Nicodemus, we must be willing to enter into life in the same way as the chief of sinners. Than Christ, “there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12.) Through faith we receive the grace of God; but faith is not our Saviour. It earns nothing. It is the hand by which we lay hold upon Christ, and appropriate His merits, the remedy for sin. And we cannot even repent without the aid of the Spirit of God. The Scripture says of Christ, “Him hath God exalted with His right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.” (Acts 5:31.) Repentance comes from Christ as truly as does pardon.{HB 128.2}[2]

这样说来,我们怎样才能得救呢?——“摩西在旷野怎样举蛇,”人子也照样被举起来,使一切被那蛇诱惑和咬伤的人,都可以藉着仰望而得生。“看哪!上帝的羔羊,除去世人罪孽的”(约1:29)。从十字架上发出的光,显明了上帝的爱。祂的爱吸引我们来到祂身边。如果我们不抗拒这种吸引,就会被引到十字架下,悔改我们那把救主钉死的罪。于是因着信,上帝的灵就在我们心中产生新的生命。我们的思想意念,便会顺从基督的旨意。祂在我们里面作工,使一切都归服祂,我们的心灵就照着上帝的形像而重造了。于是上帝的律法就写在我们的心版上和;我们就能和基督一同说:“我的上帝啊!我乐意照你的旨意行”(诗40:8)。{HB128.3}[3]

How, then, are we to be saved? “As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness,” so the Son of man has been lifted up, and everyone who has been deceived and bitten by the serpent may look and live. “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” (John 1:29.) The light shining from the cross reveals the love of God. His love is drawing us to Himself. If we do not resist this drawing, we shall be led to the foot of the cross in repentance for the sins that have crucified the Saviour. Then the Spirit of God through faith produces a new life in the soul. The thoughts and desires are brought into obedience to the will of Christ. The heart, the mind, are created anew in the image of Him who works in us to subdue all things to Himself. Then the law of God is written in the mind and heart, and we can say with Christ, “I delight to do Thy will, O my God.” (Psalm 40:8.){HB 128.3}[3]

耶稣与尼哥底母交谈时,说明了救恩的计划和祂到世上来的使命。在祂以后的一切讲论中,没有一次像这次那样,将凡要承受天国的人心中所要成就的工作,一步一步地解释得这么圆满。基督在工作开始之初,就向犹太公会中的一位议员展开真理。他是一个最能受教,并专任民间教师的人。但是以色列人的一般首领却不欢迎真光。尼哥底母将真理藏在心中三年之久,似乎没有明显的效果。……{HB128.4}[4]

In the interview with Nicodemus, Jesus unfolded the plan of salvation, and His mission to the world. In none of His subsequent discourses did He explain so fully, step by step, the work necessary to be done in the hearts of all who would inherit the kingdom of heaven. At the very beginning of His ministry He opened the truth to a member of the Sanhedrin, to the mind that was most receptive, and to an appointed teacher of the people. But the leaders of Israel did not welcome the light. Nicodemus hid the truth in his heart, and for three years there was little apparent fruit. . . .{HB 128.4}[4]

尼哥底母把那次与耶稣会谈的情形告诉使徒约翰,由约翰的笔记载下来,留为后世亿万人的教训。(《历代的愿望》175-177页){HB128.5}[5]
我们回天家-第111章
Nicodemus related to John the story of that interview, and by his pen it was recorded for the instruction of millions.—The Desire of Ages, 175-177.{HB 128.5}[5]
