“上帝啊,求祢为我造清洁的心”(诗51:10)。{HB98}[1]
我们回天家-第82章
Create in me a clean heart, O God.—Psalm 51:10.{HB 98.1}[1]
我们回天家-第82章
但当人顺从圣灵的感化时,他的良心就会苏醒。有罪的人对于上帝圣律法的深奥和神圣性质就有所领会。这律法是天上地下政权的基础。那“照亮一切生在世上的人”(约l:9)的光,照亮了秘密的心房,显出了暗中的隐情,使人认识到自己罪孽深重。罪人就会感受到耶和华的公义,和自己罪恶污秽的丑态,在鉴察人心的主面前是何等可怕。他会看见上帝的慈爱,圣洁的美和纯洁的快乐,并渴望得到洁净,与上天恢复交往。{HB98.1}[2]
我们回天家-第82章
When the heart yields to the influence of the Spirit of God, the conscience will be quickened, and sinful human beings will discern something of the depth and sacredness of God’s holy law, the foundation of His government in heaven and on earth. The “Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world,” illumines the secret chambers of the soul, and the hidden things of darkness are made manifest. (John 1:9.) Conviction takes hold upon the mind and heart. Sinners have a sense of the righteousness of Jehovah and feel the terror of appearing, in their own guilt and uncleanness, before the Searcher of hearts. They see the love of God, the beauty of holiness, the joy of purity; they long to be cleansed and to be restored to communion with Heaven.{HB 98.2}[2]

大卫犯罪以后的祈祷,表达了真心为罪忧伤的情形。他的悔改是真诚而深刻的。他没有文过饰非,也不想逃避惩罚。他的祷告是真心的。他只看到自己罪的可憎.并看到自己的心灵受到了污染。他对自己的罪深恶痛绝。他不单祈求赦罪,也求心得到洁净。他渴望圣洁的喜乐,与上帝重归于好,恢复交往。……{HB98.2}[3]

The prayer of David after his fall, illustrates the nature of true sorrow for sin. His repentance was sincere and deep. There was no effort to palliate his guilt; no desire to escape the judgment threatened, inspired his prayer. David saw the enormity of his transgression; he saw the defilement of his soul; he loathed his sin. It was not for pardon only that he prayed, but for purity of heart. He longed for the joy of holiness—to be restored to harmony and communion with God. . . .{HB 98.3}[3]

这样的悔改,非我们力所能及的。只有那升入高天,施恩与人的基督才能成就。……{HB98.3}[4]

A repentance such as this, is beyond the reach of our own power to accomplish; it is obtained only from Christ, who ascended up on high and has given gifts unto men. . . .{HB 98.4}[4]

圣经并没有教导说罪人必须先悔改才能接受基督的邀请:“凡劳苦担重担的人可以到我这里来,我就使你们得安息”(太11:28)。人真心悔改,要靠基督的帮助。彼得在向以色列人演讲的时候,曾说明了这一点:“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)。要不是基督的灵唤醒我们的良心,我们是不可能悔改的。正如我们离开了基督,就得不到赦罪一样。{HB98.4}[5]

The Bible does not teach that sinners must repent before they can heed the invitation of Christ, “Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28.) It is the virtue that goes forth from Christ, that leads to genuine repentance. Peter made the matter clear in his statement to the Israelites when he said, “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.) We can no more repent without the Spirit of Christ to awaken the conscience than we can be pardoned without Christ.{HB 98.5}[5]

基督是一切善念的源头。只有祂才能将抵抗罪恶的意念栽种在人的心中。追求真理和纯洁的每一愿望,自知有罪的每一感觉,都证明祂的灵运行在我们心里。(《拾级就主》24-26页){HB98.5}[6]
我们回天家-第82章
Christ is the source of every right impulse. He is the only one that can implant in the heart enmity against sin. Every desire for truth and purity, every conviction of our own sinfulness, is an evidence that His Spirit is moving upon our hearts.—Steps to Christ, 24-26.{HB 98.6}[6]
