The Danger of Self-Confidence, August 25
我们回天家-第239章
“又恐怕我因所得的启示甚大,就过于自高,所以有一根刺加在我肉体上,就是撒但的差役,要攻击我,免得我过于自高”(林后12:7)。{HB262.1}[1]
我们回天家-第239章
And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure.—2 Corinthians 12:7.{HB 262.1}[1]
我们回天家-第239章
自信导致疏于警醒谦卑和痛悔的祷告。外有试探要躲避,内有仇敌和困惑要克服,因为撒但使他的试探适合于不同脾气秉性的人。{HB262.2}[2]
我们回天家-第239章
Self-confidence leads to neglect of watchfulness and of humble, penitential prayer. There are outward temptations to be shunned and inward foes and perplexities to be overcome, for Satan adapts his temptations to the different characters and temperaments of individuals.{HB 262.2}[2]
我们回天家-第239章
基督的教会时常处于危险之中。撒但力图毁灭上帝的百姓,一个人的思想和判断是不足倚靠的。基督愿意让祂的信徒在教会大家庭里团结一致,遵守秩序、规则和纪律,彼此顺服,看别人比自己强。团结和信赖是教会兴旺所必须的。如果教会的各个成员都觉得自己可以任意行事,不依赖他人,特立独行,那么教会如何能在危险时刻获得安全呢?一所教会的兴旺甚至存在,有赖于其成员迅速团结的行动和互相信赖。当危急时刻来临,一个人拉响警报,就需要快速积极的行动,而不是停下来从头到尾地查究讨论整个问题,因耽延而让仇敌占尽先机,其实团结一致的行动可以拯救许多人免于灭亡。{HB262.3}[3]
我们回天家-第239章
The church of Christ is in constant peril. Satan is seeking to destroy the people of God, and one person’s mind, one individual’s judgment, is not sufficient to be trusted. Christ would have His followers brought together in church capacity, observing order, having rules and discipline, and all subject one to another, esteeming others better than themselves. Union and confidence are essential to the prosperity of the church. If all the members of the church feel at liberty to move independently of the others, taking their own peculiar course, how can the church be in any safety in the hour of danger and peril? The prosperity and very existence of a church depend upon the prompt, united action and mutual confidence of its members. When, at a critical time, one sounds the alarm of danger, there is need of prompt and active work, without stopping to question and canvass the whole subject from end to end, thus letting the enemy gain every advantage by delay, when united action might save many souls from perdition.{HB 262.3}[3]
我们回天家-第239章
上帝希望祂的百姓用基督化友爱最紧密的纽带团结在一起。弟兄间彼此信赖对我们教会的兴旺是必不可少的;团结一致的行动在宗教危机是中很重要的。一个轻率的步骤,一个大意的行为,都可能使教会陷入困难和试炼当中,多年无法复原。一个教会成员心中充满不信,就可能使那大仇敌获得优势,影响整个教会的兴旺,并导致许多生灵的灭亡。耶稣希望祂的信徒彼此顺服,好让上帝使用他们作为器皿拯救彼此;因为一个人可能看不出的危险,另一个人却能迅速看出来;然而那些没有识别能力的人若愿意凭着信心听从警告,就能摆脱极大的困惑与试炼。(《教会证言》卷三445,446页){HB262.4}[4]
我们回天家-第239章
God wants His people to be united in the closest bonds of Christian fellowship; confidence in our fellow church members is essential to the prosperity of the church; union of action is important in a religious crisis. One imprudent step, one careless action, may plunge the church into difficulties and trials from which it may not recover for years. One member of the church filled with unbelief may give an advantage to the great foe that will affect the prosperity of the entire church, and many souls may be lost as the result. Jesus would have His followers subject one to another; then God can use them as instruments to save one another; for one may not discern the dangers which another’s eye is quick to perceive; but if the undiscerning will in confidence obey the warning, they may be saved great perplexities and trials.—Testimonies for the Church 3:445, 446.{HB 262.4}[4]
