Reaching Out After God, March 20
我们回天家-第81章
“你们要先求祂的国和祂的义”(太6:33)。{HB97.1}[1]
我们回天家-第81章
But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness.—Matthew 6:33.{HB 97.1}[1]
我们回天家-第81章
众使徒和先知中从来没有一个人说自己是没有罪的。那些一生与上帝最亲近的人,那些宁愿牺牲性命而不肯故意犯一件错行的人,那些蒙上帝赋以神圣的亮光与能力的人,都承认他们的本性是有罪的。他们“不靠肉体”,不靠自己的义,而完全仰赖基督的义。{HB97.2}[2]
我们回天家-第81章
None of the apostles and prophets ever claimed to be without sin. Men and women who have lived the nearest to God, who would sacrifice life itself rather than knowingly commit a wrong act, whom God has honored with divine light and power, have confessed the sinfulness of their nature. They have put no confidence in the flesh, have claimed no righteousness of their own, but have trusted wholly in the righteousness of Christ.{HB 97.2}[2]
我们回天家-第81章
凡仰望基督的人都必如此。我们越就近耶稣,越辨识祂品格的纯洁,我们就越看出罪的非常邪恶,我们也就越不想高抬自己了。我们的心灵必要不断地渴慕上帝,必要经常、恳切,痛心地承认罪过,并在上帝面前自卑。我们在基督徒的经验上前进一步,我们悔改的工夫就必更深一步。我们必要知道惟有在基督里面,我们才一无所缺,我们也必以保罗的自白作为我们的自白:“我也知道,在我里头,就是我肉体之中,没有良善。”“我断不以别的夸口,只夸我们主耶稣基督的十字架。因这十字架,就我而论,世界已经钉在十字架上;就世界而论,我已经钉在十字架上”(罗7:18;加6:14)。{HB97.3}[3]
我们回天家-第81章
So will it be with all who behold Christ. The nearer we come to Jesus, and the more clearly we discern the purity of His character, the more clearly shall we see the exceeding sinfulness of sin, and the less shall we feel like exalting ourselves. There will be a continual reaching out of the soul after God, a continual, earnest, heartbreaking confession of sin and humbling of the heart before Him. At every advance step in our Christian experience our repentance will deepen. We shall know that our sufficiency is in Christ alone and shall make the apostle’s confession our own: “I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing.” “God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.” (Romans 7:18;Galatians 6:14.){HB 97.3}[3]
我们回天家-第81章
上帝子民的圣洁挣扎和斗争的历史,应由记录的天使把它写下来;让天使记录他们的祈祷和眼泪;千万不要从人口中发出“我是无罪的,我是圣洁的”这样的自夸之辞,使上帝受到侮辱。因为从成圣之人的口中,是决不会决发出这种僭越自恃的话的。……{HB97.4}[4]
我们回天家-第81章
Let the recording angels write the history of the holy struggles and conflicts of the people of God; let them record their prayers and tears; but let not God be dishonored by the declaration from human lips, “I am sinless; I am holy.” Sanctified lips will never give utterance to such presumptuous words. . . .{HB 97.4}[4]
我们回天家-第81章
那些有意自夸圣洁的人,务要对着上帝律法的镜子察看自己的真面目。当他们看到律法广泛的要求,并明白律法所有辨明人内心的思想和意向的工作时,他们就不会自夸无罪了。约翰看自己和他的弟兄们一样。他说:“我们若说自己无罪,便是自欺,真理不在我们心里了。”“我们若说自己没有犯过罪,便是以上帝为说谎的;祂的道也不在我们心里了”(约壹1:8,10)。……{HB97.5}[5]
我们回天家-第81章
Let those who feel inclined to make a high profession of holiness look into the mirror of God’s law. As they see its far-reaching claims, and understand its work as a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart, they will not boast of sinlessness. “If we,” says John, not separating himself from his brethren, “say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.” “If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.” (1 John 1:10.) . . .{HB 97.5}[5]
我们回天家-第81章
我们若住在基督里面,上帝的爱若住在我们心中,那么我们的情感,思想和行动就必符合上帝的旨意。成圣的心是与上帝律法的训词协调的。(《使徒言行录》561-563页){HB97.6}[6]
我们回天家-第81章
If we abide in Christ, if the love of God dwells in the heart, our feelings, our thoughts, our actions, will be in harmony with the will of God. The sanctified heart is in harmony with the precepts of God’s law.—The Acts of the Apostles, 561-563.{HB 97.6}[6]
