信仰的基础-第128章
“古实人岂能改变皮肤呢?豹岂能改变斑点呢?若能,你们这习惯行恶的便能行善了”(耶13:23)。{FLB 133.1}[1]

Pardon and Acceptance
Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.Jeremiah 13:23.{FLB 133.1}[1]
信仰的基础-第128章
在人看来,罪有轻重之分。在上帝看来,也是如此。但尽管有一些错误在人眼中是无关紧要的,但在上帝眼中没有一件罪是小的。人的判断是有偏见而不全面的,但上帝权衡万事总是照着实情。人们看不起酒徒,认为他的罪会妨碍他进天国。可是人们往往没有责备骄傲,自私和贪婪。其实这些罪是特别得罪上帝的,因为与祂善良的品德和从未堕落的宇宙所充满的无私之爱背道而驰。陷在一些较明显之罪中的人或许会感觉到自己的羞耻和贫乏,而需要基督的恩典,但骄傲的心,却感觉不到自己的需要,以致关闭心门,拒绝基督和祂来要赐予的无穷福气。……{FLB 133.2}[2]
信仰的基础-第128章
God does not regard all sins as of equal magnitude; there are degrees of guilt in His estimation, as well as in that of man; but however trifling this or that wrong act may seem in the eyes of men, no sin is small in the sight of God. Man’s judgment is partial, imperfect; but God estimates all things as they really are. The drunkard is despised, and is told that his sin will exclude him from heaven; while pride, selfishness, and covetousness too often go unrebuked. But these are sins that are especially offensive to God; for they are contrary to the benevolence of His character, to that unselfish love which is the very atmosphere of the unfallen universe. He who falls into some of the grosser sins may feel a sense of his shame and poverty and his need of the grace of Christ; but pride feels no need, and so it closes the heart against Christ, and the infinite blessings He came to give....{FLB 133.2}[2]
信仰的基础-第128章
如果你看出了自己的罪,就不要等到自己先去改善。许多人都以为自己不够好,不配到基督面前来。你想靠自己的努力来改良自己吗?。……上帝是我们唯一的帮助。我们不必等待更大的信心,更好的机会和更圣洁的性情。我们自己不能做什么,只须带着现状来到基督面前。(SC 30,31){FLB 133.3}[3]
信仰的基础-第128章
If you see your sinfulness, do not wait to make yourself better. How many there are who think they are not good enough to come to Christ. Do you expect to become better through your own efforts? ... There is help for us only in God. We must not wait for stronger persuasions, for better opportunities, or for holier tempers. We can do nothing for ourselves. We must come to Christ just as we are.21{FLB 133.3}[3]
信仰的基础-第128章
当使你自己降服于基督,不可迟延;唯有祂能用祂恩典的能力救赎你免去灭亡。唯有祂才能使你的道德力和心智的各项能力处于健康的状态。你的心可以被上帝的爱温暖;你的悟性可以清明而成熟;你的良心可以光明不昧,又敏捷,又纯洁;你的意志可以正直而圣化,顺服于上帝圣灵的管理。你可以随自己的抉择造就自己成为什么样的人。你若现在改邪归正,停止行恶,学习行善,就会真的快乐幸福;你会在人生的战场上得胜,而升入那比今生更好的来生,享受光荣及尊荣。(2T.564){FLB 133.4}[4]
信仰的基础-第128章
Yield yourself to Christ without delay; He alone, by the power of His grace, can redeem you from ruin. He alone can bring your moral and mental powers into a state of health. Your heart may be warm with the love of God; your understanding, clear and mature; your conscience, illuminated, quick, and pure; your will, upright and sanctified, subject to the control of the Spirit of God. You can make yourself what you choose. If you will now face rightabout, cease to do evil and learn to do well, then you will be happy indeed; you will be successful in the battles of life, and rise to glory and honor in the better life than this.22{FLB 133.4}[4]
