Bible Sanctification Involves Humility and Constant Growth, December 18
效法主耶稣-第353章
“我就是愿意夸口,也不算狂。因为我必说实话。只是我禁止不说,恐怕有人把我看高了,过于他在我身上所看见所听见的”(林后12:6)。{BLJ370.1}[1]

For though I might desire to boast, I will not be a fool; for I will speak the truth. But I refrain, lest anyone should think of me above what he sees me to be or hears from me.2 Corinthians 12:6, NKJV.{BLJ 370.1}[1]

基督的门徒必须变成祂的样式──靠着上帝的恩典造就一个符合祂圣洁律法之原则的品格。这就是圣经中所显示的“成圣。”{BLJ370.2}[2]

The followers of Christ are to become like Him—by the grace of God to form characters in harmony with the principles of His holy law. This is Bible sanctification.{BLJ 370.2}[2]

这种工作惟有藉着信靠基督并因上帝圣灵住在心中的能力才能完成。每一个基督徒不免要感觉到罪恶的怂恿,但他总要对罪恶进行持久的战争。这就是我们需要基督帮助的地方。人类的软弱既与上帝的力量联合,就能凭着信心说:“感谢上帝,使我们藉着我们的主耶稣基督得胜”(林前15:57)。{BLJ370.3}[3]

This work can be accomplished only through faith in Christ, by the power of the indwelling Spirit of God.... The Christian will feel the promptings of sin, but will maintain a constant warfare against it. Here is where Christ’s help is needed. Human weakness becomes united to divine strength, and faith exclaims: “Thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Corinthians 15:57).{BLJ 370.3}[3]

圣经明明告诉我们,成圣的工作是一步一步的。当罪人悔改并藉着赎罪的宝血与上帝和好时,他不过是刚刚开始基督徒的生活。此后他必须“竭力进到完全的地步,”渐渐成长,“满有基督长成的身量。”彼得把达到圣经中的“成圣”所必经的步骤摆在我们面前:“你们要分外的殷勤;有了信心,又要加上德行;有了德行,又要加上知识;有了知识,又要加上节制;有了节制,又要加上忍耐;有了忍耐,又要加上虔敬;有了虔敬,又要加上爱弟兄的心;有了爱弟兄的心,又要加上爱众人的心。你们若行这几样,就永不失脚”(彼后1:5-10)。{BLJ370.4}[4]

The Scriptures plainly show that the work of sanctification is progressive. When in conversion the sinner finds peace with God through the blood of the atonement, the Christian life has but just begun. Now he or she is to “go on unto perfection;” to grow up “unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ.” ... Peter sets before us the steps by which Bible sanctification is to be attained: “Giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; and to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.... If ye do these things, ye shall never fall” (2 Peter 1:5-10).{BLJ 370.4}[4]

那些有圣经中所阐明成圣之经验的人,必能显出一种谦卑的精神。他们像摩西一样,已经看见上帝圣洁的威荣,并因自己在无穷之主纯洁完全的对照之下而深觉不配。先知但以理是一个真正成圣的模范。他那漫长的一生充满了他为主所作崇高服务的伟迹。他是大蒙上天眷爱的一个人(见但10:11)。然而他并没有自居纯洁圣善。当他在上帝面前为他的同胞祷告时,这位尊贵的先知却把自己与犯罪的以色列视同一体。后来当上帝的儿子向他显现赐给他教训时,但以理说:我便“面貌失色,毫无气力”(但10:8)。{BLJ370.5}[5]

Those who experience the sanctification of the Bible will manifest a spirit of humility. Like Moses, they have had a view of the awful majesty of holiness, and they see their own unworthiness in contrast with the purity and exalted perfection of the Infinite One. The prophet Daniel was an example of true sanctification. His long life was filled up with noble service for his Master. He was a man “greatly beloved” (Daniel 10:11) of Heaven. Yet instead of claiming to be pure and holy, this honored prophet identified himself with the really sinful of Israel as he pleaded before God in behalf of his people.... When at a later time the Son of God appeared, to give him instruction, Daniel says: “My comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength” (Verse 8)....{BLJ 370.5}[5]

凡行在髑髅地十字架阴影之下的人不能有自高的表现,或夸口说自己已经脱离了罪。他们觉悟到,那使上帝的儿子惨痛以至心碎的,乃是他们的罪。这种认识必使他深为自卑。那些生活与耶稣最亲近的人最能看清楚血肉之体的脆弱和邪恶,而且他们唯一的希望乃是倚仗那钉死而复活之救主的功劳。(GC.469-471){BLJ370.6}[6]
效法主耶稣-第353章
There can be no self-exaltation, no boastful claim to freedom from sin, on the part of those who walk in the shadow of Calvary’s cross. They feel that it was their sin which caused the agony that broke the heart of the Son of God, and this thought will lead them to self-abasement. Those who live nearest to Jesus discern most clearly the frailty and sinfulness of humanity, and their only hope is in the merit of a crucified and risen Savior.—The Great Controversy, 469-471.{BLJ 370.6}[6]
