我们回天家-第65章
“今日就可以选择所要侍奉的”(书24:15)。{HB81.1}[1]
我们回天家-第65章
Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve.—Joshua 24:15.{HB 81.1}[1]
我们回天家-第65章
凡不肯献身与上帝的人,就是在另一种权势的支配之下。他不是自主的,他尽管高谈自由,但他是处于最可怜的奴役之下。撒但支配了他的心,不让他看到真理的优美。他虽自以为是在凭自己的见解行事,其实是在服从黑暗之君的意志。基督来解除了人心灵上罪的桎梏。“所以天父的儿子若叫你们自由,你们就真自由了。”“因为赐生命圣灵的律,在基督耶稣里释放了我,使我脱离罪和死的律了”(罗8:2)。{HB81.2}[2]
我们回天家-第65章
All who refuse to give themselves to God are under the control of another power. They are not their own. They may talk of freedom, but they are in the most abject slavery. They are not allowed to see the beauty of truth, for their minds are under the control of Satan. While they flatter themselves that they are following the dictates of their own judgment, they obey the will of the prince of darkness. Christ came to break the shackles of sin-slavery from the soul. “If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.” “The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus” sets us “free from the law of sin and death.” (John 8:36;Romans 8:2.){HB 81.2}[2]
我们回天家-第65章
在救赎的工作上,是没有勉强,也不使用外力的。人在上帝的灵感化之下,可以自由选择所愿意侍奉谁。当人投诚基督时,他在所起的变化中必能体会到一种无上的自由。摒弃罪恶乃是心灵本身的行为。我们固然没有能力使自己脱离撒但的管辖,但当我们渴望摆脱罪恶,并在我们迫切的需要中,呼求一种身外的超然之力时,我们心灵上的种种能力便充满了圣灵的神能。我们就能按着自己的意志,来实行上帝的旨意了。{HB81.3}[3]
我们回天家-第65章
In the work of redemption there is no compulsion. No external force is employed. Under the influence of the Spirit of God, we are left free to choose whom we will serve. In the change that takes place when the soul surrenders to Christ, there is the highest sense of freedom. The expulsion of sin is the act of the soul itself. True, we have no power to free ourselves from Satan’s control; but when we desire to be set free from sin, and in our great need cry out for a power out of and above ourselves, the powers of the soul are imbued with the divine energy of the Holy Spirit, and they obey the dictates of the will in fulfilling the will of God.{HB 81.3}[3]
我们回天家-第65章
人获得自由的惟一条件,就是与基督合而为一。“真理必叫你们得以自由,”而基督就是真理。罪之所以能取胜,惟有藉着削弱人的意志,并摧毁人心灵的自由。归顺上帝的意义,就是恢复人的原状,恢复人类真正的荣耀与尊严。我们所要顺服的上帝的律法,就是“使人自由的律法”(雅2:12)。{HB81.4}[4]
我们回天家-第65章
The only condition upon which our freedom is possible is that of becoming one with Christ. “The truth shall make you free” (John 8:32); and Christ is the truth. Sin can triumph only by enfeebling the mind, and destroying the liberty of the soul. Subjection to God is restoration to one’s self—to the true glory and dignity of humanity. The divine law, to which we are brought into subjection, is “the law of liberty.” (James 2:12.){HB 81.4}[4]
我们回天家-第65章
法利赛人自称为亚伯拉罕的子孙。耶稣告诉他们,只有行亚伯拉罕所行的事,才能确定这种身份。亚伯拉罕真正的子孙,必须像亚伯拉罕一样度顺从上帝的生活。他们决不至于想杀害那讲述上帝所赐真理的一位。拉比们谋害基督,这不是行亚伯拉罕所行的事。单是亚伯拉罕嫡系的后裔是没有价值的。他们若与亚伯拉罕没有灵性上的联系,就是没有亚伯拉罕的精神,也没有行亚伯拉罕所行的事,他们就不是亚伯拉罕的子孙了。(《历代的愿望》466,467页){HB81.5}[5]

The Pharisees had declared themselves the children of Abraham. Jesus told them that this claim could be established only by doing the works of Abraham. The true children of Abraham would live, as he did, a life of obedience to God. They would not try to kill One who was speaking the truth that was given Him from God. In plotting against Christ, the rabbis were not doing the works of Abraham. A mere lineal descent from Abraham was of no value. Without a spiritual connection with him, which would be manifested in possessing the same spirit, and doing the same works, they were not his children.—The Desire of Ages, 466, 467.{HB 81.5}[5]
